[Tir Na Nog]

Can't wait for those "I don't know how we're going to beat Burnley" posts like we saw in the Swansea thread.

 

[CurryFlavoured]

Should be very straight forward. Burnley are shocking away and they played midweek.

 

[Trilly]

Burnley 7 - 1 Arsenal​

Andre Gray 4,13,20,77

Giroud 80​

Vokes 30, 60, 65

A lot of controversy as Giroud didn't sprint to the centre circle with the ball after scoring.

Alexis Sanchez was also sent off for disobedience. The Arsenal man refused to return to his half of the pitch after Burnley's 7th goal, instead choosing to squat on his haunches in the Burnley half. Speculation about his future at the club continues.

This marks the first time two strikers on the same team have both scored hat-tricks in 15373 years as well as the largest defeat of a PL club by a promoted side ever.

Will stay positive until @THunter makes his mark on this thread.

Arsenal 1/2 - 0 Burnley

 

[Notorious Big]

We'll smash them.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

People are too positive for me liking. Only fabo left to make a huge bet on this game.

 

[Hunta]

Used to like the ginger Mourinho until we played them a couple of years ago and they turned out to be another Stoke. Then last season in the cup when we played them at the Emirates and they never gave the ball back when we kicked it out for their injured player.

Dirty long ball ****s will no doubt turn up for the first time in an away game this season, can not be arsed.

Frustrating draw and an Alexis injury via a dirty tackle is my guess.

 

[MutableEarth]

We will need to move the ball very quickly against them. They'll set up to defend deep just like West Brom did.

Iwobi is on good form currently which will hopefully help lead to a victory. We should aim to score early and draw them out.

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

Nothing else but a win will do here, given Burnley's record, our relatively poor home record shouldn't be that big a concern.

2-0 to the Arsenal.

 

[Mark Tobias]

Hoping for a chance to go above Sp**s this weekend although I'd put my money on them to beat City.

Regardless we've reached that stage of the season where we have to look at ourselves and just keep trying to win because none of it is really in our hands now.

 

[Walter White]

They have Joey Barton.


Just sayin

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

I think we will win, but we must take them seriously from the off. They managed a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford.

 

[Penn_]

Walcott's injury seems to have slipped under the radar a bit, hasn't played since mid Decemeber.

 

[tap-in]

Time to up our goals scored, it may be the difference between 4th & 5th come May. Arsenal to win 6-0 Alexis hat-rick, Iwobi brace of deflections, Giroud to score a back heal cartwheel.

Unfortunately I'll miss this as I'll be haggling in the souks of Marrakech.

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

I usually hope for a goal fest in these matches, often we draw, lose or scrape a win by some fluke. I'll be happy with three points and a reasonably convincing performance.

They will park the bus just like in first match. Wenger will start the obvious.

Cech

Xhaka
Ramsey - Özil
Iwobi - Giroud - Sanchez

It could be a frustrating afternoon

Think we'll win regardless. Looks like a good, settled and improving team to me.
