Right, we are out of Carabao Cup and FA Cup, but not everything is lost. We are 11 points clear of Man City in Premier League and we can take that lead to 12 points if we beat Bournemouth today. City do have 2 games in hand, but if they win both, we will still have a 6 point lead with only 6 games left for the season. In Champions League, we have a 1-0 advantage against Sporting and the second leg is at home. If we managed to get at least a draw, we will be playing Atletico (most likely) in the semi finals. I would rather play Atletico than Flick’s Barcelona.
The chance of lifting a trophy is still a possibility. And a win today will improve that possibility even more. Bournemouth are sitting in the bottom half of the table, and I hope we don’t shoot ourselves in the foot today.
Playing XI is out and I still don’t understand what has gotten into Arteta’s mind.
Why is Martinelli in the playing XI when you have Hincapie available. It’s not the time to be concerned about the injuries, because a loss in any of the games could mean a title. I’m OK with rest of the selection, Eze could have played ahead of Havertz but I’m not sure how much of his fitness is back.
I don’t understand the fact that we spend more than 250m on midfielders (Rice, Zubimendi, Norgaard, Havertz, Odegaard) and yet, we always have 2 DM-profile players and an option to choose from a non-performing Odegaard with a out-of-form Havertz. Anyway, that shouldn’t be a problem for a team sitting on 1st, playing against a bottom half team I suppose.
We need to win today. Man City has to visit Chelsea tomorrow and though I don’t have much confidence in Chelsea beating them, anything can happen. In last 3 seasons, we have always been the favorites going into last 7-8 games but have given it away. There are 7 games left, and 7 test of whether we have learned something over the years.
Right, game starts in an hour. See ya.
Fucking yes. 2 nil
2-1 even…
Fulham and Villa should be chucked out of the league when you compare to Everton’s effort
A fucking disgrace to football
Crooked cunts.
Fuck me. I almost feel cheated that City scraped a draw
Big fucking night.
City fans polishing a turd because they equalised in injury time.

I was shocked last night by just how arse-wipingly poor Villa were. They were so poorly prepared.
Especially considering their position in the table and what they were playing for.
As the late Heavy D would have said
“Boom!!”
Fart Fraud probably thinks City chucked that too. No matter, Arsenal supporters will be pleased.
Our online role players, less so.

Soppy
Villa chucked it, they wanted Forest to exert extra energy tonight before Thursdays semi final.
Fulham didn’t put any effort in and were happy to roll over, probably promised Nwaneri and another player discounted like Leno
This practice goes on ,in the continent
I dont need any evidence
Of course you don’t Fartso. Much easier to get angry over stuff you made up yourself like Little Vera, evidence is for the smart people.
Soppy Bollocks
Compare Evertons effort tonight, to Fulham and Villa ‘s over the weekend
Thats all the evidence needed unless you are a fuckin drip.
“Grrrrrrr!! ” “weirdo” “Half Pint”
I’m starting to feel like I’ve either been verbal thrashing a 12 year old or someone with some brain related challenges…no wonder you’re so fixated on the word fucktard…likewise, it totally explains your very rudimentary commentaries…I certainly don’t mean to insult you little guy, and I mean that in the most affectionate way possible, but maybe it would be wise if I had a word or two with your parents/guardians, as I don’t think you should be online without some sort of adult supervision…have a good one smarty-pants
City fell to pieces in the 2nd half , some would say they bottled it , fortunately for them Doku scored a couple of world class strikes to see them scrape a point.
Jamie Carragher said Arsenal will be devastated at city getting a point which is of course total bollocks.
So the situation we are at now is even if city beat brentford on Saturday we will still be 2 points clear before we face west ham on Sunday, so all the pressure is on City and they showed tonight that they buckle under pressure..
Tottenham beating villa yesterday i believe actually helps Arsenal as west ham are now a point behind Tottenham so they can’t afford to play for a draw against Arsenal , meaning there is a possibility there will be more space for us to attack, west ham are now certainly a team under pressure.
The Emirates should be buzzing tomorrow after tonight’s result, a lot of the tension will not be evident and it will more a celebration night , but of course we have to put in a performance, the season is certainly reaching a climax as momentum has turned in our favour, I always said the league cup final result was irrelevant to how the title race plays out
Be quiet angry inadequates, real Arsenal supporters are talking here.
This thread is no longer for you.
Absolutely Wicksy,
After Sat’s result and City wobble the Ems is going to be lively.
If any if the pretend ST holders want to meet pre-match, I’m officially reaching out. It’s good to share good times and my friends are an accepting bunch.
We are top of the league, we are UCL semis. These are moments to enjoy.
I’m still miffed that we need to help Spuds to help ourselves but I imagine Spuds fans are equally miffed that they need us to win to win, I haven’t checked as the Spuds on my socials are staying awfully quiet, even after yesterday.
I’d really be happier without your affection towards me Squeaky V. Your rage might be contagious.
Save it for your online Disciples. I believe they need it more.
I got a better idea, why don’t you two fucksticks end your insanely thirsty quest to secure a spot at the grown-ups table and just get each others digits so you can share all your dime a dozen takes in private…I bet the odds are pretty high that you toolbags actually reside in the same court-mandated boarding house…you might have even unknowingly spent some time together in the “common” room, he with his second-rate thesaurus in one hand and a crusty old kleenex in the other and you under a blankie in the corner with your custom made Arteta-themed fleshlight…nighty-night little bitch (there’s no doubt in my mind you’ve heard that before)
Quite the little rant Squeaky.
I’ve got an even better idea. Listen and learn to the real supporters rather than get yourself all worked up over your self made delusions, both football and intelligent commentator related.
You’re losing it short stuff.
you’re such a poor man’s version of me it’s fucking hilarious…I’m so deeply embedded within your gerbil-sized brain that you can’t even sleep anymore…either that or you’re the most fucktarded AI-generated Bot known to man…I’m leaning towards the former, so I think I’ll wait a few extra minutes before posting this simply to fuck with your POW-like sleep cycle…that’s what I refer to as putting a bitch in a mental blender
It looks like Arsenal will win the title if they don’t drop any points. However, it is a title win by default because all of the other teams that normally would challenge for the title have played woefully poor football. This season City is not the City that has won 6 titles. Chelsea will not be doing what they did under Roman and finish like a mid table team under those American fuck ups. Man Utd. as soon as they had changed their manager beat Arsenal and eventually secured CL.. Pool after spending close to 400 million couldn’t get their shit together. This was the season for us to reach 90+ points.
Finally how the fuck is Doku not playing for us. We have fuck all on the left bought Madueke who doesn’t play on the left and we now have 2 back ups for Saka with those out on loan coming back. Thus we still have a problem of the left side and many more millions to be spent to fix what is so obvious to everyone.
“The point is better than no points, but it would have been better to win the game,” said Guardiola
Really profound Pep. No, honestly his football insight underlines why he’s regarded as a top manager, philosopher and thinker. He was giving his napper a right old aggressive scratch last night as well. Loads of his own DNA under his little fingernails I’m sure. Awful manager of an organisation with the deepest of cheating culture.
Almost as thought provoking as this little gem from the genius above who tries to make us believe he hasn’t usurped some else’s identity.
It looks like Arsenal will win the title if they don’t drop any points. (Confucius Kilroy, East Kilbride, a few solitary hours ago…)
My brain is struggling to cope with the huge amounts of grey matter required to absorb these gossamer thin truisms and clichés. I cannot wait for the season to end.
