Watford(dead rubber) H Sun 26th 4pm

[CloakedGooner]

Can someone remind me how many shots we conceded away to these - just interested

I'll bite Stevo, think it was 31

22 in the second half alone

Plus 9 in the first half

[augie]

I wanna relegate this c.unts badly - deeney is a mouthy prik for starters, but their ground always seems to me like a cold shithole without an atmosphere

In an ideal world bournemouth beat everton, the shammers beat the brummie c.unts, and we have the joy of sending deeney back down to the championship Seeing bournemouth leapfrog those 2 and relegate them at the 11th hour would be hilarious (plus dont tell steve o but I like eddie howe )

Remember those last day dramas- 1999 going for the title. 2004 being 1-0 down to Leicester going for the unbeaten season. 2006 last game at Highbury to qualify for the CL. Damn, even the ones to finish 4th under Wenger that we laughed at amidst wild celebrations at St James's Park and the Hawthorns.

Win today and let's hope and pray Burnley and Sheffield United drop points to finish 8th lol

They might as well do the lap of appreciation as there would only have been 300 left at the end under normal circumstances anyway !

I'm very tempted to watch the Leicester / Utd game rather than another bore fest involving us.

If Watford have any sense, they'll be clattering into us with studs flying, terrifying our lame bunch with the fear of missing the Cup Final.

0-1, or 1-2 Watford.


I don't know whether Arteta will rest players, but I'm never convinced that it works. Players can lose an edge (I know, I know, ours don't have an edge to start with ) after a rest. Mind you, as it's only a week away and they played mid week, so the rest isn't long. Wtf am I on about here ??

Perhaps if you tried telling us either with hand signals or telepathically ???

[augie]

no line ups announced yet ??

Neither one way or the other - if we are going out to win the game then play all your first team, but if protecting your players is the aim, send auba home and allow him to rest and be safe. He seems to be resting some and not others

There’s only Bellerin missing isn’t there? He didn’t play midweek either so I’m wondering if he’s got a knock.

Change Bellerin/Cedric for willock and that could well be the cup final team.

Maybe Saka plays instead of Pepe or Maitland-Niles?

Surprisingly strong team in my opinion I would have wrapped auba in cotton wool

Surprised me too, not to far from our “best” team available.

[Clummo99]

That's a pen all day long!

[Clash]

Definite pen but they tiried really hard to find a reason not to give it

[Perryashburtongroves]

Clear penalty and very well taken.
