WIN Premier League: Arsenal 4 -1 Tottenham Hotspur | Sunday 23rd November | KO: 16:30 GMT | Sky Sports

Predicted Lineup

Prediction
Arsenal 2-0 Sp**s








From the Fighting ****

Roll on Fulham at home. Write this one off...

Are we even going to be able to put out a semi decent xi? ****ing injury after injury. Can't see anything other than a loss. Nobody is going to step up for this.

I take it this is away .
Won’t be pleasant at all. Will be pretty much camped in our own half most of the game . A lot of sideways and backwards passing going absolutely nowhere . There will be no shots on target. If we do manage to score it will be from a set piece. It will be a standard Sp**s visit to the emirates
Thankfully I will be at a butlins weekender so I won’t be watching

See this is a free hit. We're the underdogs, nobody expects us to win, so no need to be nervous. If we lose, it was expected.

I ****ing hate them all so much on a personal level and I've never met any of them.

What I wouldn't give for an ugly 0-2 VDV & Romero and Palhinha slides in fiercely on the sideline and catches that **** Arteta "by accident"

I can’t lie. I’m not looking forward to this game at all.

I wouldn’t mind trying to postpone it. Make up some bullshit reason just to piss them off because they can’t ****ing wait for this.

Hope half of their players come back from the International break with long-term injuries.

COYS.

Any points we can take off them is huge.

I noticed we are 8/1 for the victory .I will definitely chuck £20 at that!!! COYS.

We've got a good away record but it's Woolwich. I never really believed that the form book goes out the window for a derby.

Don't do anything stupid like we did for Utd's first goal, and try to limit the amount of corners and free kicks they get and we could get something out of this if luck is on our side. But I don't think we have the physicality that Sunderland did.

Feels like so long since we've shown up against them now.

Playing away probably increases the chance of a result from 5% to 10% so there's that.

Just make it tough for them. It’s been super frustrating watching them go for the title for the last 3 seasons, makes things even worse that we’ve been gifted wrapping them 6 points each season in that time.

Just haven’t been making it anywhere near difficult enough for them.

At this moment in time if we come out of the game with enough fit players to field a team in the next game and not get a hammering it will be a result.

We had enough powerful players on the pitch to deal with Ballard. I understand what you’re saying and agree to a point, but two goals away at Sunderland with the quality we have defensively, it’s not down to Gyökeres availability that we lost points there.

He would have sprinted back 40 yards and cleared it off the line mate.

He’s responsible for everything but his average scoring record.

 

[AndItsArsenal]

Yes but we lost all our ability to contest the middle due to having no forwards who could threaten on the break. Did you see how Sunderland scored their equalizer? It was due to their CB Ballard not having to worry about Merino and camping himself in our box. Gyokeres being on the pitch in this period means this doesn't happen.

They were losing the game with a minute to go and he’s their best aerial threat. Normal thing to do.

Why would they care if they lost 2-1 or 3-1?

To be clear, I am not saying we dropped points because Gyokeres wasn't there - I agree with you that we should have held out for the W given the circumstances but having Gyokeres there in the last 10 minutes would have been incredibly beneficial to us in terms of not losing control and him being able to occupy their defenders.

VG would have been able to contest our clearances, as a CB you would have to respect that threat in from behind. We would have had a few more opportunities on the counter. These things matter.

always the best way is to score another...but we were gassed and mikel froze...and just prayed his inaction wouldnt get found out. rookie mistake. gotta be bold and proactive and trust even the teenagers rather than a tired player. football first and foremost is a physical game. gotta be able to run.

Come on man, that was not a game for Nwaneri and Dowman lol

i would say any one able to run and tackle would have been better in the last 15 minutes. even harriman annous

Dowman and Annous would have been snapped in half like a twig. This was big boy football, not Carabao Cup.

we didnt have any outball ..anyone who could run .... you play the best options you have and you take those who cant run off. thats the basics. the coach is supposed to find a solution, not sit on his hands and hope we squeak through

thats make the decision easy. had some stuff on the weekend and was trying to juggle it around. Now no point. Michael Oliver on, TV off. Boycott any match that he officiates. No point watching.

if all arsenal fans did this maybe something will change. boycott the bent b*gger.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Never mind this, I’m all about the draft now. Will the game intefer?

 

[Gooner Zig]

@Synical @Roz

Oliver ref and Atwell on VAR -

If I'm not mistaken, this will be the first time since the MLS sending off that this cretin has directly reffed one of our PL games.

 

[Sanchez11]

Michael fvcking Oliver una

@Synical @Roz

[Gooner Zig]

PGMOL: "Can't have Assna winning the league, get Oliver on their next match pronto."

 

[Synical]

@Synical @Roz

NO FUVKING WAY

Is this a joke?

 

[Synical]

I will be at the NLD for the first ever time in person. I will personally start a " Michael Oliver is corrupt and is paid by City" chant if he does anything suspect

[Synical]

Why the fvck is he on our game when he has been shown to be biased?! He shouldn't be on any PL games, never mind a title race game

 

[dino bravo]

Oliver is on the city payroll. They may as well send Noel Gallagher and a whistle.
