    Some posted up in the match thread that after losing today Chelsea have to average 2.25 points per game for the rest of the season if they are to get 4th, which is a BIG ask. Top 4 is effectively gone for them.

    They're still only nine points off Tottenham and So'ton and 6 points behind Liverpool (albeit two of those have yet to play this week). I thought 8 days ago that the fourth spot is still pretty manageable, but now it's looking like a big ask.

    However their run for the next 6 games is just what they need. They have home games such as Norwich and Watford and an away trip to the spuds which will be a six pointer. They could easily pass out Liverpool within the next six games.

    Much as I want to agree, I'm not 100% sure Roman got into this as a business venture.

    Otherwise he might want some of his "loan" back.

    Ya his bankroll is pretty much bottomless but regardless he didnt get like that from losing money from potenail tv rights deals and champ league money which should nearly be a cert with that team.

    Tis dam quiet here lads, anyone at the game today - Pudders?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,242 ✭✭✭FixitFelix


    Honestly can't see anything other than a Gunners win, Spuds are bang average no matter what the idiots on Sunday Supplement think! !

    Yep! 16 police horses just clip clopped past my front window. A bit early for that!

    I have rarely seen trouble actually at the game but upper street and Holloway road can be like a war zone hours after the match once everyone is tanked up.

    Nervous about today. Can't blame the injuries as we always have them but think the pace of Walcott suits Ozil, Sanchez and Santi much more than Giroud albeit I am a big fan of his.

    No point in talking about who's out of the team now. We have to do it with who's in the team today. Hoping Kos starts to shore up a rattled defence and i can see Ox starting on the right and Campbell on the bench. We need a big game from our midfield too. If on their game and the should be for a NLD then Ozil, Santi and Sanchez can make enough chances for a victory.

    3 -- 1 to the Gooners.

    Is Ox fit? Thank God.

    Gonna go with a 2-1 win. Spurs are unbeaten in there last 10 with a big win over City. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they knick a draw.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,779 ✭✭✭✭Ol' Donie


    Would love it if good old Remi Garde did us a favour today. Good man Remi!

    Meanwhile, Sagna starts for City, Clichy on the bench. Just saying. Bit of an ex Gooner fest there today.

    But where's that Nasri lad? Does he still play for City?

    New coach is usually a good thing for a team, but I think the difference is huge, can't see anything but a City win.

    3 points are very important today. Pocchetino is doing a good job for them, so I want patience in the game.
    It will be extremely important for us to score first so we can control the game.

    This game has got even bigger now after that result. Chance for a two point cushion.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35,514 ✭✭✭✭efb


    We love you Remi, we do!!!


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 7,649 Mod ✭✭✭✭Irish Aris


    well, that was a very unexpected gift from Villa.

    Now on for the 3 points and the top spot!!

    COYG!!!!!

    Backlash from Munich now. These Hotspur chaps are in serious trouble.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,783 ✭✭✭emergingstar


    Cazorla is having a mare


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,783 ✭✭✭emergingstar


    We look knackered

    And Cazorla is useless without Ramsey

    Vertonghen all over him. Neville talking out his arse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 55,778 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    Why are we afraid to cross the ball??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,031 ✭✭✭Soups123


    Someone needs to inform our players this is the NLD, awful fcukin 'effort' so far.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,828 ✭✭✭gosplan


    At halftime I fear for this thread if we lose here.

    A win and everything's great, Wenger's vindicated, we're top.

    A loss and it's same old same old Arsenal, we'll never win anything, Wenger out.

    No urgency in the team. Some of them not putting a lot into it at all.
    Hope Wenger reads the riot act at h/t.

    In fairness this is our chance to grab the bull, if we bottle it its just the usual.

    If we grab it then we might see something we haven't for years.
