Everyone expected us to win v Man U and Swansea - didn't go well. No one expects us to win against Spurs now - will go well ???
I'm clutching at straws.
Clutch away son, clutch away. I am too.
We do have a history of turning in a good performance when no one is expecting us to.
Game day is here lads.
Nix, Warriors, something else, Arsenal
Long night of sports may need off license replenishments
I got hurricanes in between to complete the quadruple whammy, and conveniently bridge the time gap.
Might go light on beverages otherwise ability to stay awake will be severely compromised (4 week old baby not helping level of sleep preparedness).
Really nervous about this one. We're either going to come out and batter them or get a severe pantsing.
Win and we have a chance at the title.
Lose and we give spuds a real chance at winning the league (vomit)
Apparently its being shown live at 4 Kings but with all that's riding on the game I'm not going.I'd rather have a toddler tantrum in my own lounge then in public and if we go down early I can go to bed
Hoping we start Welbeck and Campbell. Drop Ramsey to the bench he's been dire.
Ospina
Bellerin. Mertesacker Gab. Monreal
Coq. Elneny
Campbell Ozil. Alexis
Welbz
Totally agree with that lineup, having Elneny with Coqeulin in the middle and both Campbell and Alexis on the sides means there is a lot of willingness and ability to track back and intercept.
Because of that it will fully allow Bellerin and Monreal to go forward too
Ospina
Bellerin. Mertesacker Gab. Monreal
Coq. Elneny
Campbell Ozil. Alexis
Welbz
I agree with this team too
Walcott, Giroud and Ramsey have probably been the most disappointing guys in the last two losses, Gabriel hasn't covered himself in glory either but with Koscielny out he has to play. He's probably a good one for a derby though - provided he doesn't get sent off.
I doubt any EPL side has not lost 3 in a row.
I meant right now, not ever. That's pretty obvious in the context of the conversation.
Honestly give it a break, always trying to have digs, and often getting it wrong, it's just pathetic.
Yeah i'll probably take a draw there given the context of the match, in the context of the season not so much.
Absolutely fudgeing stupid from Coq. Gave Spurs all the incentive to push on and get back in the game.
Basically still reliant on Spurs and Leicester slipping now to catch them. Need to be wary of City right behind us too if they get back in form, they have a game in hand as well.
Three for me, and two for them.
right, so in the light of day my thoughts on the match:
BFG and Gab are still developing as a back pairing and i thought it really showed. they were often called into spaces they shouldnt be or not passing on the runners to each other. add into that Ospina rarely playing with them and i think that a draw is a result we cant complain too much about. But the defence as a unit did give them a lot of space throughout the match.
Elney and le Coq worked well in the middle. Le Coq's red will be a defining moment in his career i reckon, he will remember it for ever. and come back from suspension hungrier. Elney needs to work on tracking his man and not being sold by a shimmy or a dummy. but i can see him developing into something good.
Good choice to start welbeck over giroud, but before the start of next season we either need him to get to sanchez's level or buy in a striker. Tough call to drop Campbell, and im still undecided it was the right one, but rambo did a good job(and fudge that goal! Henry-esk).
Ospina had a good game for mine, i thought it was his best game for us. the chest save on the line was ridiculous!! Still no Cech, but much better than i thought he was.
Bellerin is our player of the season. he is now at the sanchez/cech level. just love that kid!
and lastly, Kane's goal. that was pretty fudgeing sexy. i couldn't applaud it at the time. but watching the replay this morning. i see how good it was.
My thoughts after just watching the replay. Harry Kane is a cod. Hate him. He saw Coq coming in for the tackle, knew he was on a yellow and milked the foul. How did Dier not get a yellow for the tug on Giroud? That could've made the last 10 minutes interesting.
Ospina had a solid game. Can't be called at fault for either of the goals. I hope Arsene puts out his strongest side against Hull. That could be our most realistic chance of silverware although as mentioned, our remaining home games are all winnable but I would've said that about the Swansea game as well.
