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.
Next up it's this shower at ours.Interesting that they went Goodison and walloped them 5-2 in their last away game,I thought they might build on that today but they lost to Soton at home.It could be anything..They could be shite...we could be shite....the game could be shite
Hoping our run of form continues but I have no faith in Martinez-Lite and keep expecting us to take a hiding. This might be that game.... who knows...?

I think we will win this but I have that uneasy feeling that the tactic of dropping back after a good 30minutes and allowing a team to control the area in front of our defence is going to get punished.Once a team does manage to break through I think it will be very hard for Arsenal to readjust to start regaining the centre of the pitch.
The most consistently inconsistent team in the league come to town.
This could be anything from 5-0 to 2-3 depending which version of each team turns up (hopefully the former!). I watched the highlights of their win against Everton and the lads going forward are like lightning, so any counter attacking threat will need to be closely watched. However, at the back against Liverpool and the other games I've seen they are absolutely pathetic with geriatric Foster between the sticks.
One thing it won't be is 0-0 (he says.....famous last words)
Hopefully a nice comfortable win before the testing weeks ahead

That's my fear. Martinez-Lite just seems too keen to demonstrate that he is smarter than everyone else and sees the game "on a different intellectual level". His substitutions too often put us under unnecessary pressure where previously we would have been comfortable and sometimes dominant in games.
This tactic of hanging on for the last 20 minutes is going to fuck us. We don't have the quality of defence to do it game after game. Not yet anyway.
My eldest lad is travelling over for this and is bringing his girlfriend for the first time (yes I know the old taking her up the arse saying ). When we booked the trip we werent aware of the requirement to be at airport two and a half hours before the flight and that is problematic seeing as he has an early flight, but the biggest issue could be flying back cos he will be under time pressure anyway
Regarding the game, I expect this to be a stroll in the park where we will win 4-0 or 4-1. It might have been closer if they still had the fat deeney c.unt, but they have a spineless team imo, and they will collapse when they go behind
Auba will be MOM again for doing fuck all & missing a couple of sitters + tapping in from 6 yds. You'll all still love him. Give a youngster a go & offload him in January. 2-1.
