After a much needed 3 points on Saturday against one ex Fat Sam team Arsenal make the short trip to Fat Sam's current team in the shape of Crystal Palace (near their natural home in South East London). Palace are hovering just above the relegation zone which makes this a difficult game for me cos I dislike that arrogant, twatty, oxygen wasting mo fo almost as much as you lot...actually, that's unfair as I like quite a few Arsenal fans and treat the arsenal kids in school well but any that like big sam automatically get lunch time detentions. But football wise this is a bit like having to choose between being kicked in the nuts on having my nuts stamped on. Arsenal gained points on City, United and Liverpool on Wednesday so are right back in the hunt for a top 4 trophy. Only Chelsea are guaranteed a top 4 place so the next 2 months will be a dog fight for 3 places between spurs, Arsenal and a load of mouthy northerners. Being away from the emirates should remove some of the pressure on Arsenal as there shouldn't be too many Wenger outties fighting the Wenger trusties as witnessed v Man City. Who the hell pays THAT much money to watch Arsenal v City so they can fight??? Surely a friday night in wetherspoons would be cheaper! Palace will play Fat Sam's favoured system of; 1. Hoofer 2.Hoofer 3.Hoofer 4.Hoofer 5.Hoofer 6.Hoofer 7.Hoofer 8.Hoofer 9.Hoofer 10.Soon to be sold non hoofer 11.Donkey Hoofer His tactics will be simple... Chew gum Wave arms around Go red in the face Slag off the lines man and ref Eat a lot Arsenal will use their away formation of; When is Cech back 4 x Thought these lot could defend 1 Red card magnet 2x WTF is wrong with Ramsey & Ozil 2x pass it to Sanchez FFS 1x I am Sanchez so pass to me twat The tactics will be more sophisticated than Fat Sam's... Run around for 5 minutes Pass to Sanchez Wish you were playing Lincoln Hope to God they don't get a corner Pass to Sanchez Wish you were playing West Ham Complain about Ox being **** Pass to Sanchez Blame Wenger for a **** shot Pass to Sanchez Blame wenger for complicated tactics Troop off ignoring fans (if a loss) Take team selfies (if a win) Would wish you luck but in the words of a wise person "Get to **** man" ( I may of paraphrased Mother Teresa a little to be fair)
Every game is a must win for us now. I reckon we've got enough to see off Palace, but we'll need to be at our best. I thought the games against City (other than the dumb moments of defending) and the West Ham game, saw us getting back to being somewhere like our old selves.
It's brilliant because it's piss taking and very funny. He is our resident misery guts, I dread to think what he'd say about some of our players.
So with Spurs, Liverpool and City all winning and Chelsea look pretty certain to also win the pressure is really on United and Arsenal on Sunday and Monday. Chelsea are 21 points ahead (or will be in an hour) Spurs 14 points, Liverpool 9 points and City 6 points ahead. You and united have 2 games in hand over all above you and 3 over Liverpool. It's going to go down to the wire with 6 teams fighting for just 4 places
Wenger well and truly has Fat Sam's number these days, can't recall the stats on the top of my head, but pretty sure that Wenger has a long winning run against Fat Sam, we also have an excellent record at Selhurst Park, plus Giroud loves scoring against Palace. Now watch us lose.
This is squeaky bum time after all the teams vying for top 4 won in the weekend. Monday's game will put us under more pressure. Fat Sam will relish getting one over Wenger. Expect his gum chewing to be more vigorous than usual.
Just back from work in time for KO. As mentioned above, with all the teams around us winning, this is a must win game !
