Gorgeous United counter attack, wonder what that feels like.

 

[OnlyOne]

I'm in one of them moods again so I'd advise to stick me on ignore till after the game if you're going to cry about it.

Once I got close to a stray cat, I would feed her, ask my family about her when I came from work, and one day I heard foxes kill and take her kittens. Next day she was asking me to look for them.

Took me ages to get over that.

I found her an owner, but before she went she had more kittens and all 3 of them around my house.

Arteta knows this is make or break, playing our strongest available eleven again shows that he's pretty much dependent on this formula now.

 

[tap-in]

Irresponsible line up. We have City on Sunday. Saka is due a break. ESR as well. Arteta needs to rotate better than this.

This is far more important than City on Sun! We have to play our best 11 available and this is what Arteta has done. Maybe Holding for Luiz but the rest is as expected.

 

[Riou]

It's one of those 'shocked but not surprised' moments. Pepe will have to get a goal a game to stay in the lineup.

The fact he brought Willian on when we were cruising against Leeds despite having no intentions of starting Pepe today is crazy. If I was Pepe I'd push for a move because what else can he do at this point?

You just know he's starting him against City as well, so that he can justify continuing to bench him.

The constant Willian subs are really annoying, though at least he is not starting all the time anymore.

Imagine bringing on Martinelli or Pepe v a Leeds team that were chasing a game 4-1 down, could have really added to the goal difference.

 

[GDeep™]

Animals have god in them.

 

[GDeep™]

Why you guys crying? This is our biggest game of the season? The league was over in January.

Lose here and the season is over in February.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

ESR is running on empty now tho. Not sure what kinda impact he'll have. Do we really not trust Pepe or Gabby to come in an have an impact?

 

[OnlyOne]

No, but I was massively into dog fights until very recently and saw some of the most brutal things ever.

You used to breed as well didn't you? Start the pups fighting early and then taking them to the Undeground Gypsy Dog Fights Association (UGDFA) when they're older and vicious enough.

 

[A_G]

Cesc, you?

Worst thing you’ve ever said. Disappointed.

 

[GDeep™]

That stay cat was called daisy btw. I had to get rid off her because she was getting old, how could I sleep at night there is a female old cat outside?

This things affect me badly.

 

[OnlyOne]

Worst thing you’ve ever said. Disappointed.

I don't know, he got me supporting Arsenal, can't let him go.

Adel Taarabt “could” have reached Hazard levels and went to the very top imo. It’s such a shame he didn’t have the mentality for it.

We need more silky North African street ballers in football.

Did you have any Cesc shirts back in the day...and if so, when did you get rid of them?

You know because this stuff is massive up north.

Once I had a puppy who fought with one eye, heroic. Had to put her down but it was like watching Julio Cesar Chavez.

He was unreal for a couple of seasons with QPR.

Arteta knows this is make or break, playing our strongest available eleven again shows that he's pretty much dependent on this formula now.

He didn’t even know it’s his strongest eleven before the Leeds game though.

His inshallah tactics are working wonders for him lately. Although it will be a reality check on Sunday when he rolls out the red carpet for Pep and kisses his feet.

That was the grey pitbull wasn't it? Such a shame.

Did you have any Cesc shirts back in the day...and if so, when did you get rid of them?

Yeah the last Arsenal shirt I ever bought was the 08/09 home kit with Fabregas on the back. Still have it because I refuse to put an Arsenal top in the bin.
