Ten games into the season and we should now accept the fact that Tottenham is doing exceptionally well and might just provide the third axis to the title challenge. I almost puked saying that. I’m sorry. At the very least, they are going to disrupt things. Ange is doing well with that shite and a bit of luck is favouring them too. They won 2-1 against Crystal Palace with ‘only one shot on target’.
Anyway, to hell with them. We are playing Sheff United in a 3 PM kick-off at home. A crucial game to get all three points and also to improve our home performance.
In team news, Thomas Partey is unavailable due to injury. Gabriel Jesus is out too (again) for few weeks due to muscle injury he picked up during Sevilla game. Timber is out for long anyway, rest all are fit. Jesus injury makes thing difficult for us because we are playing 2 games a week and Eddie Nketiah has failed to convert the chances he has got till now. I have been asking to put Trossard at CF because Havertz was not clinical in front of the goal while playing at Chelsea and he is not going to be clinical at Arsenal.
Will we start with a midfield of Odegaard, Jorginho and Declan Rice again? There’s a lot wrong with this. First, Rice should be the DM. Second, Havertz / Vieira provides a better attacking play at LCM. Third, Odegaard needs some rest and ESR should be given some games as he is fit now and is a direct threat. Playing ESR provides something different to our play from the wings strategy. It will happen eventually because Mikel has noticed Ode form but again, why wait till something goes wrong!
Our defence is stable. Tomi again at LB is we all want to see, and he should start ‘if’ performance is the parameter. He was superb against Chelsea in that LB role and it won’t be long before he develops a brilliant chemistry with Martinelli.

Right, a short one today. I would love a 4-0 score line, with couple of goals from Martinelli and Saka each. See you during the game.
I’d quite forgotten how much Geordies fucking whinge. Moaning bastards.
Here we go Havertz with a nasty studs up but lucky the studs don’t catch the Newcastle player.
I sense the ref could be in a sexual relationship with their LB. Two bookable challenges – no cards.
That Havertz challenge gets my full approval!
Bruno G should have gone off for that Jorginho elbow to the side of his head.
Barcode Bruno is an even bigger cunt than his manure based namesake.
Havertz’s best half in an Arsenal jersey?
He’s been getting stuck in and been more robust in the challenge. Doesn’t help Havertz having chopstick legs.
As Havertz is playing the CAM his display isn’t good enough whereas Rice is creating more with his verticality of his runs with the ball.
Arsenal’s off the ball game has been very good let’s hope we don’t run out of energy. Rice MOTM for me so far.
Time to sort these Geordie cnuts out.
Speechless 😶
Ball had moved outside
A disallowed goal to the power of three. Fucking mad. And they still give it.
Looks like ref balanced his fuckup regarding Havertz who should have got a red for a nasty challenge
WtF substitutions of light weights in a physical battle.
Arteta is pushing his luck
Can’t fault the effort but we need more than effort and our squad isn’t good enough. We were bench-lite today.
The ghost of Hector Bellerin…. Is inhabiting Fabio Vieira
The throw was definitely foul throw. Does Mikel know how it cannot be done like ?
Doesn’t look like Arteta is going to be invincible this year then.
KP, keep the Haverfordwest result to the forefront of your mind and we’ll hang on vicariously through you.
good night one and all
And that’s the reward for throwing the game against WH… Newcastle have got some seriously cunty lads in their team. And the ref was shite.
