Chindie Posted April 14 VT Supporter Share Posted April 14 I'm completely unmoved by this today. We're weakened, we're not playing that well, Arsenal are in a title fight. I hope we don't disgrace ourselves but even then I'm not expecting anything so if it comes to pass, oh well. It does feel like we're coming across the finishing line this season skidding arse backwards and on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if we'll do similar at the Emirates? I'm going out on a limb to say, No, we won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, worked so well vs Brentford... we don't want to get a thumping, 4th could come down to GD! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I think this could very well be one of our biggest defeats of the season, which won't be nice of course, but whatever happens it won't have been the worst weekend for us in terms of our challenge to get fourth, just by virtue of the fact that Newcastle beat Spurs, which means even if we lose today we will be in the same position relative to Spurs as we would be if both we and them had won this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 If we do rest legs I just hope it doesn't get ugly. No-one wants a 6+ nil loss at this stage of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I'm glad some of you lot aren't in the dressing room, the players would just give up before a ball is kicked.. Palace proving anything can happen and let's face it, Arse have form for ballsing this up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted April 14 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 14 Fancy Villa to get something today if Emery doesn’t rest players and if Konsa plays in the middle. Konsa offers much more at CB than at FB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 People setting themselves up for disappointment if they can't accept Arsenal are very likely to beat us, what they've done in past seasons doesn't mean anything, this season in the here and now they can go top of the league with a win today and have only lost once at home all season, they're also playing a team with three of it's starting midfielders, Ramsey, Kamara, and Luiz, injured or suspended Think we will lose today isn't being particularly negative, Arsenal would be favorites against most teams, if not all at home, and even more so if they team they were playing had the kind of injuries we have But as above Newcastle beating Spurs means defeat today won't be too damaging to our season as an whole, in fact whatever happens today league table won't look as bad as many might have imagined before the weekend, we can still get fourth because our other games won't be anywhere near as tough as today, the Lille game coming so soon is a good thing too, so we can quickly move on, and then we have a very winnable game next weekend against Bournemouth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 We can get a point. It’s not like we haven’t been them this season. There’s a lot going into this game but I refuse to be defeatist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I've just looked at Arsenal's form, they've won ten of the last eleven, the only team they dropped points to in that time is Manchester City, and even that was a very respectable away draw. So that makes the task even more daunting, although when I see runs like that it does make me wonder if the team in question is due a bad result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our midfield will be over run and we will most definitely be on the back foot for most of the game. I'm not going to watch this one. Going to the pub to sink a few beers with my mate who is sadly a spuds fan, which will be strange as he'll want us to do well.... I’ll be avoiding it too, although the fact my pc has had a brainfart is a factor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy7211 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 There's more pressure on Arsenal than us today. We'll see if they've got the mentality to go all the way for the title. We're at the stage of the season where you can see the end in sight, and for Arsenal that means the title. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
