Win 3 on the bounce , whilst they lose 3 on the bounce, just to get level......then throw City into the mix....... And then if, and when we're level, keep winning and winning and winning. Or hope that they continue to drop points when we do. So they need to drop about 12 to 15 points between now and Christmas for us to still be in the mix, because we'll certainly drop more points before Christmas.It's not going to happen, especially without a striker. And if he does decide to buy a top, top qualiteeee striker, it'll be another 10 games down the line from now. Too little, too late. And he won't anyway.

Reaisticaly nigh on impossible....still on for top 4 trophy though

So what does "Reaisticaly " mean?

Fuck knows mate....im still pissed off with not beating the chavs

Yeah! Especially as that PedoLookingBaldCUNT Webb has now come out and said that the Havertz goal should have stood and Michael Oliver AND VAR made an Error.. Oh! Wellll What's 2 Points in the scheme of things eh?... Corrupt FuckingCUNTS!

Arteta on White:
Ben is gonna be out for months. It’s been different kinds of struggles. It’s never been the same thing. It’s not been improving. It got to a point a where we have to protect the player. Unfortunately it’s going to be a few months.


Mikel Arteta says Jurrien Timber is in a much better place after struggling to play against Chelsea.


Arteta: "Riccy [Calafiori] trained today. He trained on this pitch this week so he's back in the squad.

"Kieran [Tierney] is not ready yet and Tomiyasu is going to be out for a period."


Mikel Arteta confirms Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka took part in partial training for the first time this morning for Arsenal.

Arteta: “Trossard seems to be ok, he trained this morning. He’s feeling good.”

Some bits from Arteta’s press conference

So:

White is out till sometime in 2025 (Jeeezusss H which probably means Partey at RB )

Timber might be able to play some part in the game

Tierney & Tomiyasu ... get rid & pay them off

Calafiori might be able to take part on some of the game


Rice & Saka might play or not, though that sound like they won't


Trossard; he who is so out of form he should be nowhere near even the bench I mean for feck's sake!


Forest are On Fire at the moment, I was confident of a positive outcome before reading that lot! (not blaming you McD )


zinchenko scored for Ukraine in the week so he will definitely play at LB
What with that AND Martinelli being utter shyte .... they will have a field day ripping us a new One on their Right Flank

I can see us getting beaten with so many missing...It's gonna take a fucking Miracle!


If we DO Lose tomorrow forget even the last straw of hope will be gone...

Apparently Martinelli played down the middle when he came on for Brazil in the week. Reported that he looked like a different player than the bloke stuck out on the wing for us. I assume an attacking CM role. Haven't seen a minute of it, but it's interesting that the manager of Brazil sees something in GM to play him in the middle that Diet Pep can't or won't see. Arteta knows

[OneBardGooner]

Although GM (Martinelli) has been woeful; compared to what we have been used to seeing, this season, even when he is not playing well he still gives whatever he has in the tank and is Tenacious... So playing him through the middle would be worth a shout....


Put Nwaneri on the flank and him through the centre..???

[Limerick Gooner]

We need to win this one. Hopefully we come out of the traps.

Arteta got lucky with injuries in last 2 few seasons...seems he was planning on that always being the case..

[A11M11]

Prepare for the worst and hope for the best ............................Jack Reacher

[Ray C]

1-0 to the Arsenal.

[mcdowell42]

Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Merino, Jorginho Odegaard, Saka, Jesus,Trossard

[Gunner Rob]

Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Merino, Partey, Odegaard, Saka, Havertz, Martinelli.

No Havertz

No goals !

[Midz]

Cmon Arsenal, big win please.

[augie]

I don't consider myself to be a Cultist DB... Well Not since I escaped that High Walled Retreat in California in 1974 Under Cover of Night with a rucksack full of Micro-dots and 8lbs of the best Prime Red Lebanese the world has ever known (*) !

But I do think it is possible for Arteta to turn this season around and actually challenge for the title. I can see the Victims(*) definitely dropping significant points and provided we can wake-the-fuck-up out of the Morose downward spiral of the last 5/6~? weeks, then we definitely stand a chance.


Perhaps I am so desperate to WIN the fucking thing I am just clutching at straws

But we either WAKE-Up NOW...or continue to fuck up the next few games... if the latter then for certain it is all over for this season with regards the title.


(*)

I know you're not, mate. But there are a couple on here that will use any excuse to defend Arteta's failings.

Too right Augie and Retro really need to see what's the rest of us do...

Mean culpa

Being honest, that is 10 of our strongest starting 11 that are starting today's game, so there really is no excuse for not beating them convincingly today - I accept that prior to the interlull break forest were on a good run of form, but they are/were a team expecting to be fighting relegation again this season, so we have to be beating them with practically a full strength team starting

A buddy of mine supports the geordies and I used to give him major abuse about the richest club in the world signing a donkey like wood as their striker, so naturally he has been giving me stick of late when the useless kiwi has bagged a few goals - please god dont let the c.unt score against us today or I'll have to turn my phone off for the weekend

[mcdowell42]

Didnt know the "cant score for shit jesus" was starting Who the fcuk is on the bench ??

Edit just seen the subs list on sky website - is the cone boy resting players for champs league game next week or wft is he doing ??? Martinelli might be badly off form, and havertz might be bang average on a good day, but both are better than jesus and both are better than trossard when trossard starts Am totally ok with jorginho starting though
