PL: Burnley FC vs Arsenal FC 17:30, 11th April

[Rex Stone]

So a priceless win, 8 in a row now??

I'm betting Coquelin dominated. How many clean sheets have we kept without him?

 

[BaZZe]

All day!

Also, don't quote me on this but I think we've ensured that Mourinho and his ultras can't win the title at the Emirates.

What a relief that is! That would've been unbearable.

You're right. I think we would have had to have lost today, then Chelsea beat QPR, United and us. That's out of the question now though.

I don't understand why anyone would say Cazorla has not been effective. He was very effective with his discipline. He was not rushing ahead of play needlessly.
Cazorla is a very effective player for us.

I think this qualifies as a moan. Your negativity is annoying mate, this is the premier league, there are no easy games. We were in control pretty much the whole 90 minutes. You think Chelsea fans are moaning about a poor performance against Hull or QPR?

It's almost like you're willing us to lose/draw so you can go full rant mode. It's funny how you seem to post a lot more when we're not doing well and have been relatively quiet the last few days.

Shove a tampax up it ffs. If that post 'annoys' you, then your life must be a wreck. im not your mate either, mate. Your passive aggressive nature with me is more annoying than anything on this board tbh. Avoid quoting me in future, for both our sakes. Cheers.

He wasn't that bad, but I think he needs a bit of a rest as he hasn't quite been at the same level recently. Still vital though. Overall, we didn't have a bad performance.

Nobody is saying he's not effective. He's just not AS effective deep as he is more ahead. And Ramsey is just pretty meh out wide.

Importantly Chelsea can't win the title when they play us at the Emirates thanks to that win

 

[SA Gunner]

Scrappy win, but this performance, as ****ty as it was, showed us that we are able to put in a mature performance.

To hell with that. We gonna win it.

 

[Lady_Gooner]

Happy with that. Was NEVER going to be easy as burnley knew they could climb out of the drop zone with a win.
Our Coq (haha, easily amused) was great.

 

[1983Gunner]

I would absolutely be rocking if we could get one over Chleski. Would shut up that gormless tosser Adrian Durham on Talkshite radio!

 

[mo50]

To hell with that. We gonna win it.

I love how the commentators were really, really pushing that idea all game long.

If QPR get a highly unlikely win tomorrow then I'll let myself start believing.

 

[SomGooner]

Burnley fancied themselves against us. the media started hyping them up against big teams just because they've beaten a very unlucky City team. tbh we were never in danger of conceding let alone losing and managed to deal with them quite easily.

The quality between the two teams was massive which is why they resorted to disrupting our rhythm by fouling us nonstop.

I'm absolutely chuffed and can now enjoy my weekend knowing that we won, and the **** lost thanks to our own Gooner Tim.

 

[SA Gunner]

Some of the United fans getting excited by our performance against Burnley, thinking they could take us and that our 8 game winning streak contains some iffy/fluke performances.

A lot of fans will think we struggled today. No, far from it actually, we respected our opponent and controlled this game very well.

Give me a boring 3 points any day, against a dangerous Burnley side who beat City, Southampton, drew to United and Sp**s.

They have to really. It's more interesting then saying it'll be a cakewalk for the Chavs. I genuinely think they'll have a blowout. If we win 6 out of 6, we'll win the league.

Had it not been for the bloody spuds this would be our 11th win on the trot.

Maybe that result was kick up the backside the team needed.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

There was no real 'struggle' they only had the odd half chance. That ball across the box where they failed to capitalise was the obvious one, other than that we got bodies in the way adequately and dealt with everything they had to offer. Mert was fantastic today, had a real calming influence.

Sanchez was good today, not quite his early season form but he never stopped trying and towards the end his endeavour stopped a Burnley counter attack. Cazorla I thought was a bit disappointing, his level has dropped a bit recently, think he may be a bit jaded, I wanna see Ramsey central again and one of our more pacier players outwide.

Delighted with the win today, Ramsey guarantees us goals now which is positive. Onto the semi-final now, could be another memorable season.
