PL: Swansea City v Arsenal | January 30, 2018 19:45 GMT

OMG Never mention the Diaby tackle!!!

It was

• In added time of a game we were easily winning
• Near the halfway line zero threat to the Sunderland goal
• Diaby was almost off the pitch and waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle, both sides had wound down and no one was paying attention

Terribe, horrible, mystifying tackle. The guy should have been jailed.

It was so ridiculous..

Just rewatched it. Had forgotten he only got ****ing yellow for it as well. Just ****ing absurd. Ruined Diaby 's career.

Cech
Bellerin Mustafi Koscielny Monreal
Ramsey Elneny Wilshere
Özil Mkhitaryan
Lacazette
​

I agree with this lineup. Would like to see what the creativity of Aaron-Jack-Henrikh-Mesut can do for Arsenal.

If Arsenal have a healthy lead by the hour mark or if Swansea are playing like Cardiff I would try to protect these four guys.

I would give Jack the weekend off against Everton before Sp**s.

Question for you guys who watch games online. Where can I look for a safe feed to watch the game tomorrow? Frickin' NBC stopped feeding all the games on TV so they could make money off internet subscriptions. While nearly all the Arsenal games are still on cable, tomorrow they're showing the Liverpool game. Wouldn't mind missing it so much if it weren't Mkhitarian's debut. Any ideas?

.................Cech.............
Bellerin...Kos...Mustafi...Montreal
Ramsey....Wilshere..Xhaka...Özil
.........Mhki..........Lacazette..........

Interesting to find out who goes to the bench when PEA signs.

When the game starts, search up 'soccer streams' on Reddit, there's usually plenty of good streaming options.

And then Alan Smith's comments after ... "Yeah he was late but it always looks worse in slow motion "

Waiting for one of Pep players to be tackled in such horrifying fashion. Alan Smith comments will be... "We have to take action!"

The media is already lapping up to Pep's comments.
Henry Winter is crawling up his backside in support of his comments.

All while Wenger has been calling for at least a decade to protect players from such horrific tackles (after Diaby, Eduardo, Ramsey and Wilshere long term injuries), these media hyenas were ridiculing Wenger with various stereotypes: "Arsenal have soft underbelly", "Get them at their faces", "Have a go at them", "Rough them up".

Same team who played against Chelsea only change is Mkhitaryan for Iwobi. in last 2 games we defended and played well no need to change the 4-1-2-3 formation until Auba join.

Try a stream with TWITCH player, it seems to work the best for me

Cool. I'll give it a try. Many thanks!

I remember hearing that Dan Smith had moved out here to Australia, not sure if he's still out here though.

Whenever he speaks to the media it's always 'woe is me, I've been unfairly portrayed, Wenger won't let it rest, it's an incident which has destroyed my career' and so on.

Hope I bump into him at some stage, nothing too sinister, I'd just like to give him a message on behalf of the Abou Diaby Militia.

I fear with Mkhi on the left we expose Monreal too much as he won't put a defensive shift like Iwobi in the last couple of games. We could leave ourselve open on the flanks and they have some dangerous players to exploit that.

Howdi all. 1st proper post. Think we should easily beat Swansea tonight but they have improved. That said without Sanchez I do actually think we will be a better team. Brings me onto my question - do any of you ever bet against us? I only do rarely but am doing some accy's and hate doing it but have put us down for a loss, but the others are all wins.

Then again I reckon 3-0 to us tonight!

Hi, welcome to the forum. On a light note, did you honestly think the name Thierry Henry would not be taken on an Arsenal forum?
To answer your question, yes, I do. I've made money off it too. I see it as one of those win-win situations, unless of course both teams disappoint me and there is a draw... I will add that I do not gamble big money and an Arsenal win is always what I want most out of the game.

 

[Lady_Gooner]

Oh man..I thought we were at home. Will be tough for us. Hope we can win. Liverpool/Sp**s are massive bottlers so while top 4 is unlikely, we need to put some pressure on

I was at our 0-4 win last season, sitting on my hands surrounded by Swans supporters - a repeat this year would do nicely

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Swansea won't be easy also remember our away form been so awful this season and they did beat liverpool and kept clean sheet.
