Soton anal sphincters A Tues 26th Jan KO 815PM

[goonersid]

Arteta needs a win tonight, he traded the cup game for this, these are the risks successful managers get right.
I think the best we can finish is 6th or 7th, (depending on the chavs having a revival) simply because that's where we sit in terms of quality. We could get lucky, a sperz capitulation is always a good bet and leicester could have a bad run.
With no FA cup distraction, Arteta can now focus on a best possible league finish and maybe the elge ( i think we'll lose to benfica)
What it will allow is fans and anyone else to judge, "has he achieved what was realistically as much as he could"? (the fa cup would only cloud the picture)
I think it's been a fantastic January window, with almost all the shite being offloaded, hopefully the remainder will go in the summer.
I agree with Herd, that loan signings at this moment in time are good sensible business.
I remember when the chavs were spending £200 million in the summer? There was great envy on here.
Yes I'd like an Allegri , but it isn't going to happen, so let's see what happens between now and May and hope Arteta can turn things around, if not at least he will have rid the club of shite like guendopey, sokratis, mustafi , the uncommitted mediocrity of Torreira and the downright lazy bastard ozil!

Whatever it is with Auba it can't be fucking good and just as he was starting to get amongst the goals again his absence is a disaster.

I don't think it's a footballing issue, seems to be family related, usually means someone is unwell.
Just hope it works out best for him and his family.

[DB10GOONER]

Team news - Arsenal confirm that Aubameyang is still out due to ‘personal family reasons’. Ceballos and Mari still missing, Tierney being assessed due to ‘discomfort in the lower right leg’.

Is his personal reason he can’t get his newest Lambo wrapped in horrendous shiny gold?

[DB10GOONER]

If Huff n Puff starts tonight my fucking head will explode.

Ditto Bellend, Xhakatard, Nketiah, Luiz, Pillock and Maitland-Bendtner.

Cùnts.

[goonersid]

Soton 5/2 on betfair, now I want us to win, but wtf that's a great price?

[xgtdec]

7/5 paddy power home win draw no bet

Backing against the gunners feels dirty, and not the good kind.

[OneBardGooner]

If Huff n Puff starts tonight my fucking head will explode.

Ditto Bellend, Xhakatard, Nketiah, Luiz, Pillock and Maitland-Bendtner.

Cùnts.

You aren't the only one mate, if Night Fever head doesn't play the Saka, ESR, Tierney (if fit) Cedric instead of the Tree Planter and Gabriel and Partey instead of the back pass duo - I too will Lose it BIG Time.

Agree its been a good window, even better if Mustafi goes and we get a back up left back
