My offered "freebie" for this one is in Block 110 in the Upper Tier - haven't been there before? Any idea whether its likely to be an AKB fest, disinterested Tarquins, or maybe.....this is where the 'toxic atmosphere' is?

Not sure whether to bother my arse.......free sounds a bit too much

I'm still clinging on to the last vestige of hope that we will overhaul totscum. Sad, I know.

You're talking about a team with worse form than Villa, who are also now safe and can put their feet up until Wembley. If Arsenal don't win this one comfortably it will be the most embarrassing result of the season.

You'll be required to hold a selfie stick most of the first half, field enquiries about the lack of wifi for the majority of the second and lead a glorious rendition of TO1AW at full time as we all but secure the VT after a thumping victory against a disinterested Palace. Make sure to wear your waterproof undies, it's that time of year again :barscarf:

When Giroud scores in this, Wenger will come out with something like, "he has gone through a difficult period, but overall he has shown remarkable mental strength". Followed by a refusal all summer to sign a world class striker :banghead:

I was up around there for the Watford game.
if you are up near the back of the block then I wouldnt bother going.
not bad view though if you are near the front.

you will find there will be plenty of empty seats.
the regular season ticket holders near me decided to spread out a bit over a couple of rows.
people up there also come in later and leave earlier than the lower tier :D

It'll be up against some pretty tough competition for that title mate.

I still think losing at home to Swansea Reserves takes some beating.....but remember we've still got a home game against 16-point Villa to come yet so a new opportunity to make history

Steveo, you'll find it hard to believe me, but, and I'm not kidding here, I just know we are going to lose that game, and I have managed to accept the result already.

Just trying to imagine what amazing excuse OGL will have lined up for the after game interview.

If I can only ask for one thing from that last game it's that Jacqui Oatley is asking the post match questions.

http://arsn.al/OMSQjW Mertesacker talking about the defensive improvements that are needed.. 1st improvement would be to kick him, and Gabriel out of the club.

Yet again.

Is there a trophy for the most hot-air spouted by team members to the media? If there is, we'd be a shoe-in for that. :barscarf:

I'm not totally convinced about Kos either, he has his moments. We need a couple of brutes in there.

“When something is going against us in a game, we have to focus on ourselves and not get distracted by anything else. The focus and the mindset is really important." (says Per) Surely, top professional footballers should be doing this as bread and butter reaction in a match. :roll:
