I just need 2 early goals from theo to calm my nerves.

Goal in first two minutes.

We then hold on for the next 88, as Wigan come increasingly close.

Brown underpants everywhere.

Fcuking Mike Dean better not screw us over tonight. Getting nervous now, will probably be hiding behind the couch not able to watch by the end of it.

Or bouncing the laptop off the ground



Other news is the club will get 2mil for fabregas winning the league & around 500k for jay simpson getting promoted

How do you make that out?

We will win. No doubts.

But if we only drew with Wigan and Spurs only drew with Sunderland then a win against Newcastle would be good enough. We will win though.

If we draw tonight, Wigan will be down and Sunderland will travel to Spurs with nothing to play for.

Whereas if we lose tonight, Wigan will be 1 point behind Sunderland, and Sunderland will need to get a draw at Spurs to ensure their own safety.

Because a draw will see Sunderland safe, a win for Wigan will see Sunderland need something against spurs.

Need two or three tonight. Can't trust that sewer rat Dean to give us any favours.

Didn't realise that. Last minute to go do you think Arsenal would score an Og on purpose? That would be fascinating to see.

Ye Just jump 11 up top with 5 mins to go, nothing to loose.

Arsenal need to win or lose tonight. Should if they are drawing with time to go they are best of scoring an OG.

Im confused, how will a loose do us good?

Because Sunderland will need something against spurs, but if we draw Wigan go down Sunderland are safe but its out of our hands.

Pepe LeFrits

Well, technically a draw could be useful too, as a Sunderland win at Spurs would then leave us only needing to draw against Newcastle.

But Sunderland /needing/ something at Spurs is a far more preferable scenario.

I await the day when somebody in this thread uses bendtner winning a Serie A medal as an example of a player leaving Arsenal to go on to greater things.

That doesn't sound good at all, a win is a must.

Can you imagine the furore if we were to deliberately lose the game. Not sure about the psychology anyway. Sunderland may play better with the freedom of knowing they are safe (just like Newcastle)

Much prefer watching these important games at home, just can't enjoy going out to watch it when this nervous.

Generally during big games I like to stand about a foot from the tv, not the most appealing trait when watching a game in the pub

Team unchanged?

Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Rosicky, Arteta, Ramsey, Cazorla, Walcott, Podolski

Actually, gibbs is in for Nacho

Podolski for first goalscorer. Can feel it in my water.
3 -- 0.

Because I'm a realist.:p
Wigan have done it at the end of the season in the last two seasons, my worry is do the arsenal players want it more?, if we do we can certainly beat them.
We better give it everything, that's all I care about, win or lose.

Glad to see Gibbs in, gives us more going forward than nacho.

Yes but I hate the way we switch off at crucial times and allow other teams back into games.

I knew we would beat Wigan easily.
We really should fear Newcastle though.
It could be fatal to take them lightly.

That was a nice watch.

Ahhh no....

3 points in the bag. One to go. Clinical tonight.

Jaysus as nerve wrecking as this was, Sunday May just finish me off

bad2dabone

Thought Walcott worked his socks off. Fair play.

HazDanz

I have to say the boys over the last two to three months to grind out results have been fantastic.

Proud fan!

He was excellent from start to finish, Kos was great again too as was Cazorla. Cup Final Sunday can't wait now

Is it on tele?

At the end of the game they said Arsenal's match is at 3 and Spurs' is at 4. Can that be right? Should they not be starting at the same time?

I cannot understand why we score and then sit back and allow teams onto us.
Attack is the best means of defence. Keep scoring and don't allow them back into it.
We really need to focus on Newcastle and attack from the off. If we play like we did in the second half tonight i will be happy enough we will get our rewards.

WoollyRedHat

Interesting stat relayed by the commentators during the match, last 13 games with central pairing of Kos and Mert gone unbeaten, or possible that was belonging of last season, anyone care to clarify?

All games start at 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Gringo180

Very odd the games arent on the same time, said we were kicking off at 3 and Spurs at 4??? Surely that cant be correct????

Pre match coverage of Arsenal, none of Spurs. Or at least pre match is all on the sky sports one

Both kick off at 4pm

All at 4. It's just sky with their bloated build up saying it's 3.

I reckon they meant that arsenal game coverage starts at 3 but both matches kick off at 4.
