BBC Sport video, retweeted by Match of the Day, of Paddy Pimblett hating Arsenal/Arsenal fans specifically. Is that not fucking weird?! So much for a neutral broadcast…
Trying my best not to let the media get to me but when you have BBC Sport adding to the pile on it’s just a bit mental. Never seen so much collective hatred in football before, it’s wild
Hope we get Kai up front at the weekend, feel like we were a lot steadier with him there against sporting. Shame about our injuries though
It’s Arsenal heritage to go away to the northwest towards the end of the season, play your closest title rival, and win.
Who wants to immortalise themselves in the Arsenal lore like Michael Thomas, Overmars or Wiltord?
I have an irrational fear of flying. Just scares the shit out of me. I can look forward to holidays abroad where I will have the time of my life, but also have that sinking feeling of not getting there due to the plane going down.
My feelings for the City match is more or less the same.
Having a think about Sunday, given our form and fitness issues, we’re thinking shithouse a draw right?
Mosquera-Saliba-Gabriel-Hincapie might seem to offer much in possession, but I feel very safe with that backline. White and MLS this season have both had a number of costly defensive lapses. And generally I’ve thought we should be more risk tolerant, and consider what these players give us in buildup. But realistically we aren’t in shape to go and take the game to City, and what is critical is that we don’t lose. Stuff like that 1st goal vs Bournemouth cannot be allowed to happen. It might be a stinker but survive the game, we maintain our lead, a week off, hopefully players return from injury, and sprint to the finish line.
Also dear god it has to be Kai up top please
I know the attack, performances/form, and fitness/injuries are all a concern.
At least when I compare our line-up to the cup final, Kai as the 9, Eze as the 10 and Raya as the keeper are massive changes comparatively.
Kai needs to have a good game for us. He’s the key for us to even draw this one. Every duel needs to be contested, and he needs to win some at a decent rate, same with the 2nd balls.
I also think City will be feeling the need to win now because they actually have it in their hands, and we apparently are falling off.
I think we’ll get a result, because a draw works for us.
Gyokeres vs Havertz against Sporting Second leg

If I don’t see Havertz starting against City as striker I don’t know what I’m going to do
I wish people that have the chance to go to the stadium would encourage the players a little bit more and maybe bring the nervousness down with the chants. Can’t remember when I heard the “SALIBA!” or Hincapie’s chant last time, and even if you think our attack sucks, the defense deserves our praise.
Yesterday’s Arsenal Vision Podcast with Clive and Tim was one of the best I’ve heard from the team.
I feel more confident for Sunday and you know what, there’s nothing wrong with a bit of hopium😀
Pet peeve is players being labelled as versatile and prem proven for playing a bunch of different positions to an average at best standard.
