When are Leicester going to drop off?? :mad:

In fairness, that's a 3 point you would expect them to take... But they are quite resilient aren't they? They are title contenders for sure IMO. Spurs actually trouble me a bit more than usual. They could cause an upset this year.

We will beat them handy enough.
It's City and Spurs i'm more worried about.

Agreed Spurs are the real deal now.

Pochettino has Spurs playing a lovely brand of football, he's made some great signings. I reckon they'll definitely get top 4 this season ahead of united and rightly so.

Agreed, even more impressive cconsidering Eriksson has been on fairly poor form all year.

On a side note, not sure how many follow Serie A, but Dybala has been playing fantastic for Juventus this season. A real shame we didn't properly persue him over Summer IMO

We have to go there too and that won't be easy.
We will need a fully fit team for that trip.

Were we ever really in for Dybala? Seen him playing a handful of times this season, has a big future ahead of him unless he does a Pato.

Ol' Donie · 23-01-2016 05:49PM

For f*** sake Southmpton.

They'll sack him if you keep doing sh*t like that.

cson · 23-01-2016 06:08PM

Toral scored a cracker for Birmingham today.

There'd be some sort of beautiful poetic justice if he could come back in the summer and establish himself as part of the first team squad - himself and Bellerin came to the club as part of the Fabregas deal. Contract out in the summer though.

emmetlego · 23-01-2016 07:24PM

Thank you WestHam!

Mr Blobby · 23-01-2016 07:25PM

City draw away to West Ham!
A win tomorrow will be huge!!

DarraghF197 · 23-01-2016 07:26PM

Loved the Mesut Özil chants throughout that West Ham match :pac: Well, I think it was Özil they were shouting for anyways!

tayto lover · 23-01-2016 07:33PM

The match tomorrow is huge as will the games at Spurs and City.
I feel we must win tomorrow. A draw would mean 6 points dropped in our last three games.

Ya I think we need the win. Not too worried from the point of view of points dropped in last 3 games as would take draws at Stoke and Liverpool most seasons.

However I think we need to win this because we are at home to a side who are struggling. Ya I know that's simplistic, it's a London derby, history there, etc but I guarantee if we were going to them and roles were reversed in terms of positions - they would give us a sound beating. We must do the same.

Bobby Baccala · 23-01-2016 08:10PM

Can't see us beating Chelsea tomorrow as it's something we simply can't do in the league these days. I really hope I'm wrong because with city dropping points this game is huge.

Any chance of Alexis starting?

emergingstar · 23-01-2016 08:15PM

Go 3 ahead of city with nearly everyone back then for our next league game

We need to start this game the way we started against United.
Not the way we have started many games since.

Up and fcuking at them.

Ol' Donie · 23-01-2016 10:50PM

Hate to say it, but that was magic from Delli Alli. Brilliant goal.

Definitely. Even against City we didnt get going until we scored on the break, against Spurs we never came out of the dressing room, Cech was motm against Liverpool although Ramsey had a great goal chalked offside.

I think Wenger is maybe wary of those games we played vs Chelsea and United at the end of the noughties where we dominated possession however ended up conceding to break away goals. We didnt have Sanchez and Ozil then though.

Yeah. Won't be happy with a draw tomorrow at all.
That would be 3 points from a possible 9 in our last 3 games. Not title winning form at this stage of the season.

Shyt or bust tomorrow.

Id agree with this tbh. We need to come flying at them

keano_afc · 23-01-2016 11:19PM

Really hope the heads are switched on from the get go tomorrow. No reason why we can't win this. These are the kind of matches that will define our season. COYG

Meeting up with the mother for a late lunch tomorrow with the family. The last time we did was early October and we stuffed United 3-0! Here's hoping

Great. Take your time and don't choke.
We'll all pay for the grub too :pac:

Ol' Donie · 23-01-2016 11:38PM

Don't worry chaps. I'll drink my tea from my lucky Arsenal mug in the morning. Never fails.

Last time I didn't we lost to Southampton on Stephen's Day.

Stupid Christmas mug.

23-01-2016 11:38PM

If Wenger done this he would be the laughing stock of football and rightly so but instead the numptys are queuing up with excuses for this moron yet again. More disgraceful carry on from the specialist in failure. A joke

Be sure that you do. Have the mug beside the bed, set a reminder on your phone, have the teabag ready in the cup....hell have the kettle ready....whatever it takes :pac:

Very much risking a ban if i say what I think about that.

At least some of it rhymes with sad little Stephen Hunt, though.
