Remembrance Day is the 11th. Why is all this happening this weekend? Should it not be next weekend?

There’s games next weekend?

It’ll get to the stage where there’ll be 30 minutes of things to get through before playing the game.

These teams wont have a home game before them for their own display of jingoism

I don't like the obligatory nature of the poppy thing.

But Irish people complaining that the English clubs they choose to support commemorate the millions who died - shot, burned and gassed, of fever and gangrene - and it delays their armchair entertainment?

You can only laugh. If Irish people really can't take the slight delays to mark these events, how about picking teams in countries where supporters don't have to pass War memorials to watch teams that lost players in those Wars, and sit in grounds that were sometimes bombed or used as air raid shelters and feature stands called after battles like SpIon Kop?

Plenty of English people despise it aswell. Forced patriotism is not as popular as you make it out to be. It's seen as an Americanism when it comes to sports. Personally I don't care about the poppy or the knee against racism but let's not turn this into a political football. God knows this forum has a problem with keeping a level head when it comes to politics.

Is Ole really playing for the draw?

Agent Coulson

Arsenal really could do with a midfielder with a bit of guile a shame they don't have a player at the club like that epically now the 5th best African player in the world is on a goal drouth.

Feels like it at times.

Nullify Arsenal and try to catch them, get lucky on the counter.

Only 1 part has worked so far.

A scrappy goal will most likely win it for either side.

Trouser Snake

That was too easy.

marklazarcovic

A peno will win this...

Will Mike Dean do the dirty on Arsenal yet again?

Ye should be beating Europa League level teams at home. Especially if you're wanting to get Top 4 and push up the table.

'Should' being they key word.

More often than not, this side flatter to deceive.

Arsenal tbf have played well and deserve to be in front if they finished one of their chances.

Some hair line on Holding for a 25 year old

Shanotheslayer

Aubam has to do better there

This is it

Has to hit the target at least

This is it

Close from Maguire!

Partey is looking a real bargain for Arsenal despite the price they paid. Always dangerous and is clearly the best player on the pitch.

This is it

Peno, thought he went down easy on first view but you'd probably expect it these days

Mushy

Clear penalty anyway

Shanotheslayer

Stonewaller

Quazzie

Poor from Bellerin. Definite contact but as much as he made out

This is it

Auba puts it away. Deserved lead I'd say

Agent Coulson

The sniper was out there.

Still it was a penalty

Turtyturd

Penalty against man u...that’s a plot twist.
