As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
With their main man Iwobi gone and Calvert Lewin injured ( as per usual, anyone going to admit they wanted us to sign him ?)
We should muller them ….
Beto winner incoming
Watched him when they played Sheffield United the other day and he’s just the type of centre forward who causes us major problems - big fucking donkey who they’ll pump high balls up at all day.
Even that pubber from Serie Shite that united brought on the other day caused us issues simply by being big and fucking awkward and Beto is the same.
They will be try to make it a hoof fest, so it’s important we get control of the ball early in this game. They’ll want a kick and rush and foul, stop start game of throw ins, corners and free kicks.
We’ve had 2 horrendous defeats in a row up there we need avenge that and bury these c.unts once and for all.
Our last 5 at theirs..reads LdLLL..
All defeats by the odd goal..
0-1 1-2 1-2 0-0 0-1
Absolutely horrendous especially against a team who have been utter shite for years..So we've not scored more than a goal there in 5 visits fuck me
Looking at those stats I can only see this going one way im afraid
Blimey, didn’t realise it was that bad. It used to be that we’d win more points in the PL against this lot than anyone else (with the possible exception of West Ham), but those 5 results might have altered things.
They’re crap and have been for years, but they expose our soft underbelly. They get pumped up for the game, chase everything and get physical, the crowd bay for blood and we wilt under the pressure.
It's fucking horrific mate especially when you think of the way we used to bitch slap them for fun.Were almost 1/2 at the bookies which I find unbelievable with our record there
Much depends on whether we have half a dozen walking wounded coming back from International duty. Martinelli , Jesus and Gabriel in Brazil , Tomiyasu in Japan . Saka no doubt will get 180 minutes including a "" Friendly "" kicking match against Scotland
The whole list is here from .com.
Gabriel Magalhaes could win his first-ever cap for Brazil after he was one of 16 members of our men’s first-team squad to be called up for their countries during the current international window.
The centre-back is part of a 23-man squad that will take on Bolivia and Peru in 2026 World Cup qualifying, and while he has been selected in squads before, Gabriel is now hoping to appear for the Selecao for the first time in those games. He will be joined on the trip by Gabriel Martinelli, who will be looking to add to his six caps, and Gabriel Jesus, who has 59 caps.
Four Gunners have been selected in the England squad for their upcoming Euro 2024 qualifier against Ukraine, with Eddie Nketiah hoping to win his first senior cap.
The striker is joined by Declan Rice, Aaron Ramsdale and Bukayo Saka in the travelling party for the trip to Wroclaw in Poland where they will face teammate Oleksandr Zinchenko on Saturday, with the Three Lions currently top of the group with four wins from four, six points ahead of their opponents in second place.
Following that, Ukraine have another chance to cut the gap when they travel to Milan to face Italy the following week, for whom Jorginho has not been selected. Meanwhile, our English quartet will head north of the border to take on Scotland in a friendly to mark the 150th anniversary of the teams staging the first-ever international, with on-loan Kieran Tierney set for a quick reunion.
Everton have seven
A host of other players will also try to help their nations boost their chances of reaching Euro 2024 in Germany next summer. William Saliba’s France will hope to continue their 100 per cent start when they host the Republic of Ireland in Paris, before they head to Dortmund for friendly action against Kai Havertz’s team. Germany also host Japan the week before when Kai will come up against Takehiro Tomiyasu’s side, who also have a fixture against Turkey.
Martin Odegaard will warm up for Norway’s qualifier against Georgia with a friendly against Jordan, with both games taking place in Oslo. Also in Norway’s qualifying group is Spain, who are trying to chase down Scotland at the top of the table, and David Raya’s team have an away game in Georgia before returning home to tackle Cyprus to try and reduce the deficit.
Jakub Kiwior’s Poland will aim to record victories against the Faroe Islands and Albania as they compete in a tight group that sees all five teams separated by six points, while Belgium head to Baku to take on Azerbaijan before hosting Estonia in Brussels in a pair of qualifiers, which could see Leandro Trossard and Karl Hein on opposite sides. The goalkeeper will also likely be in action when Sweden travel to Tallinn on Saturday.
When our Gunners will be in action
I'm hoping that this is the sort of game where Rice becomes a key difference between Old Arsenal and New Arsenal. These c.unts have just about staved off relegation for the past few seasons but that hasn't stopped us going up there and getting knocked and bashed about and softened up. This is definitely one of those games where we need leaders of men and not cowards. They are fucking shit but no doubt Dyche will have them shirt pulling, elbowing and stamping their way through another 90 minutes.

A telling game this one.....
Agreed. Huge game for Oirish Deckers begorrah. Will be interesting to see his response to getting kicked and rotationally fouled by these mongs. Hope he fucks it to them.

I honestly can't see him getting intimidated by them - he's got a level head and he's a tough lad. Unlike Mr Pointy who would cowardly lunge in half an hour late like some mock hardman, getting himself all wound up. Jesus doesn't mind the rough stuff either so I hope he starts
In the meantime we've got an international break. Zzzzzzzzz..........
When will this lot finally fall through the trapdoor? Every single season there is somebody just marginally worse. This season it'll be Luton, Sheffield United and Burnley. They'll probably avoid the drop on GD on the final day of the season, picking up 34 points in total, four of those from us. Hopefully when they finally go, they'll be like Stoke, go down and stay down.
Gabriel, the only one of our defenders who doesn’t mind a bit of rough stuff, out injured. Everton’s new lump of a CF chucking his weight around.
There’s only one way this is going I fear.
1-0 to the toffee men
It'll be 1-0 or 2-1 to them..it usually is probably with us huffing and puffing in the last half hour..with the ball being in play for about 10 of those minutes..The ref won't add any time on of course
fuck me
