I hope we start doing the Haka before every match. Make things much more interesting

 

[Rain Dance]

After years A-M campaign on Arsenal lacking mental strength, we are moving toward the right path

 

[bingobob]

While I'm grateful we beat Chelsea I kinda wished we hadn't embarrassed them. Kicked them into gear.

 

[Pointless Eggplant]

Pissed off.

 

[Sir Bump]

That's a bit like someone trying to tell Mohamed Ali that he is the greatest.

 

[say yes]

Say Yes's weighted league results:
(Explainer on page 41)

Chelsea: +2
Par = 0 = on track for 87 points
Arsenal: -2
Liverpool: -3 (-2)
City: -5 (-1)
Sp**s: -5
United: -11

 

[Garrincha]

With our, Liverpool & Citys fixtures Chelsea could open quite a gap this week. :confused:

Will be a good test for us. Hope we handle the pressure.

Very interesting because the All Blacks were perennial under achievers for a long, long time, almost two decades and their supporters were a lot like AFC fans and they became one of the greatest teams in the history of World Sport .

 

[bingobob]

The race is truly on.

 

[Goonerozil33]

The race is truly on.

If we are meant to win the league Chelsea will drop points soon

 

[remains]

Just feels like every game where we have a chance to show we are serious contenders we don't turn up. The Sp**s and United draws being the other two examples.

 

[say yes]

Win away at City and all is good in the world again.

Yep we've been quite bad in our big games this season Chelsea aside.

PSG (h) D
PSG (a) D
ManU (a) D
Everton (a) L
Liverpool (h) L
Sp*rs (h) D
Leicester (a) D

We can't seem to get the balance right, sometimes we're great against the top sides but then fail against the smaller ones.

Let's see what happens against city, we could have the beating of them.

 

[Notorious Big]

Ofc,it's not good that we lost this game now when Chelsea is on fire,but if we can get 3 points against City we'll be back on track.On the other hand,i can't see that Chelsea will drop points against Sunderland and Palace.

 

[Santi's Left Foot]

Let's not get too down about Everton and give them a bit of credit, a spine of Williams, Jagielka and Gueye is fairly formidable at Goodison.

Ok so after City we can then win our next 6 games:

West Brom (H)
Crystal Palace (H)
Bournemouth (A)
Swansea (A)
Burnley (H)
Watford (H)

Then Chelsea (A) and Hull (H).

Can we go on a run again. I think we could.

After that we have:

Bayern Munich (A)
Southampton (A)
Liverpool (A)
Bayern Munich (H)

Then it gets a bit easier on paper until the last four games of the season

Tottenham (A)
Manchester United (H)
Stoke City (A)
Everton (H)

COYG.

Looking forward to see Costa getting his fifth yellow.

Put City away with a convincing display and we can definitely hope to consolidate second place with the 6 fixtures we have before a fateful meeting with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. They're a good team, but not world beaters as we so deftly demonstrated a couple months ago.

 

[Pointless Eggplant]

Win away at City and all is good in the world again.

No, it's not.

It will be such a huge win but it won't even put us in a particularly strong position on the table.

Last night has really, really f*cked me off.

I'm also beginning to take it personally (almost) with all these c*nt managers consistently embarrassing Wenger.
