I've succumbed to peer pressure and resisted the temptation of going out on a high having presided over 2 winning match day threads out of three (Man Yoo and Leicestershire). Already there are far too many words for Chippy to take in so if you do manage to make it this far....then well done Arsenal as we all know is actually a made up place somewhere near that there Londinium town so it is famous for absolutely **** all. They do apparently tho have some famous followers :- 1. Barron Trump - son of that presidential goon Donald off of the USA. 2. Piers Morgon - out and out **** 3. Osama Bin Laden - not actually a fan anymore for some reason 4. Jeremy Corbyn - not even gonna go there on this thread 5. Jay Zed (or Jay Zee if your from America) - Beyonce's gadgie 6. Fidel Castro - unconfirmed fan and given that he took the old dirt nap back in Nov last year we'll never know! 7. Prince Harry...and his female parent as well apparently - Blue bloods. Match Details Toon vs Arsenal Sunday 15th April - SJP for a 1.30pm kick off in front of the cameras for you Sky slags to watch on your telly boxes. I, (much like the rest of us) will find alternative means such as my legal (well i pay for it so it must be) iptv service Ref Watch Anthony Taylor will be officiating in his 2nd outing for us this season. The Manchester based whistler (he's bringing his glow sticks as well apparently) having taken charge of our 0-0 draw with Brighton at home earlier in the season. Stats for this season - 23 matches, 1 red card and 78 yellow cards Team News **** knows. Probably unchanged again given our recent success in our last couple of games. Salami is fit and available for selection. Personally I'd start with him and drop Gayle and leave the rest unchanged but in Rafa we trust. No injuries reported so the gaffa has a full squad to pick from. My prediction - If we can score more goals than them then we will easily win this. I'm going for 2-1 (again) with Kenedy and Salami pitching in for us. The Gooners played last Sunday, they play again tonight away to CSKA before they arrive at SJP so it's probably a decent time to play them. If I get the result right again I might have to start putting the lottery on Enjoy your weekend Shadies and Mentalmen.
What the ****ity **** is with the disgraceful language in the header? Chippy's wouldn't have had that. Or the Ref watch, or the team we're facing, or any words in particular. Take me back to the glory days I say! Could nick a draw, more likely to be a routine hammering from the arse, to keep routine hatred for their managerial arse quiet until they routinely make an arse of things in Europe.
I disagree with you all. 2-1 to us; great time to play Arsenal. We will win and then get them at home first game next season and have our arses handed to us 77-2.
Think they are on their end of season, too late now, run but think if we can keep up the effort levels we can nick a 2-1 win. Good if they could dragged into extra time and penalties tonight but suspect they will try and get an early goal and ease through tonight.
Don't think it will be as easy as some seem to think it will be. I can see us struggling to score against a tight, well drilled Arsenal defence. Also think after three wins in a row that we will sublimely take our foot off the gas. Also believe Arsenal will get tanked tonight and will up for revenge against the next team they play ie, us. Taking all that into account I think the score will be 7-1 to us.
Not that I'm superstitious, but if it worked last week then I'm not going to break a winning run (if one win counts as a run). So I'm predicting.... I think if we can avoid defeat then we've got a great chance of winning this one, or at least getting a point.
I am a bit worried that this matchday thread gives away the fact that we're not taking this match very seriously. This could cause unease among fans of other clubs as they will feel that we are giving Arsenal an unfair advantage in their pursuit of a champions league spot. Oh, wait a minute......
As I'm back to school in an Arsenal supporting school area on Monday I can see nothing but a caning for us - either way all my classes can watch Tiote's screamer at the beginning of each lesson.
