AG edited my post asking for emoji votes instead of a poll
‘New and improved match threads’ they said… ‘up to the minute team news’ they said, like we solely rely on the forum for team news… They’re out of touch

I completely agree that consistency is the key & we have an advantage due to no European football.
Happy with what we're doing defensively, but phase 2 and 3 of our build up play needs a good deal more work.
Outside of the current top 3, the rest of the Premier League is much of a muchness. The gulf between them and us/United/Sp**s is the same as the gulf between us/Utd/Sp**s and the bottom 3.

I understand what you’re getting at, but they’ll always be bigger than us and they’ll always most probably have better players too and a bigger stadium. We need to focus on the long term goal. This is still essentially a bumm fight.
True but I refuse to buy all of that. I won’t be lowering expectations for Arteta as some have been doing:
If the team above with Bellerin, Elneny and Willian playing could get 3 points at OT then our current team shouldn’t be scared tonight. We’re playing pretty much the same Utd team too, not a lot has changed besides Ole for Carrick.

If we lose today it will be a poker of Ls against Top 4 PL clubs for Mikel, can't be having that if you are a serious franchise.
That’s my ambition tbf. Go for the title and then end up with 4th. Some people are aiming for 4th and then we’ll end up 5th
My whole point was that we failed to capitalise when West Ham dropped points against Wolves as we had Liverpool that same gameweek but today is the perfect opportunity to capitalise on two of our direct rivals for top 4 as West Ham already drew and we have a chance to beat Utd. If that isn’t a “must win” then I’m not sure what is? The next game week is a tricky one for both teams (Palace and Chelsea) and we’re playing a day after them, so that will probably be must win too.
Same here mate, that's where the club should be, but I think expecting the club to be in a title race this year is unrealistic. For me it's top 4 this year, add some proper firepower to the team and go for the title next year.
I get what you're saying but nothing is achieved in December, for me over this period the must win games are Everton and Southampton, those games are our bread and butter. I'm not saying this game is a free hit, we need to put in a good performance and get a result, I just don't agree with this make or break attitude.
I'm just sick of the false dawns under Arteta, we win a big game then go on the be a disgrace against the dross, I want to see consistency from the team more than a the odd win against a big club.
I still think United's quality is compatible to the top 3 and is a level above the rest of the league, they've just had an absolute clown in charge as manager, and as a gooner I don't think I'll ever be comfortable saying United away is a must win, I've got too much ptsd for that lol.
Agree re the way we're paying. I'm hoping in a game like this United open up a bit more, we find attacking far easier when the opposition has a go and leaves us space.
Who cares about polls anyway? No one votes seriously, the same posters vote for the same result every week.

Chelsea should have won at least 2-1, probably 3-1. Plus the United goal came from a ridiculous Jorginho mistake to let United attack with 2 guys vs the GK.
Also not sure why we should look too far into the past. For example last 5 games against United (all EPL), are 3-2-0 for Arsenal. Away from home it's 1-1-0.
We need to at least draw this, and we should even without Saka. United is without Varane and Pogba, and Shaw will be assessed.

I took that vote seriously, I’ll have you know. I knew of the aforementioned waste men who predicted a loss every week. That didn’t deter the rest from treating the poll with respect. I think we need to bin the new match thread thing and go back to the poll threads. Maybe have a poll asking if it’s what the people want, dread?Oh no democracy is dead because reed and rich can't vote for an Arsenal loss every week.

Design of matchday threads
Hello. In efforts to always improve the user experience, the matchday threads could have a slightly better layout where the original post can remain stuck on all pages of a matchday thread. In this way, as the match goes on and new pages are created with instant reactions, the original post...
