Arsenal FC Season 2017/18 - FA Cup Holders - The Road To Europa League Glory

[Badgers]

Predictions for today #afc fans?

Chelsea have won eight of the last 11 Premier League meetings (D2, L1)

The Blues have earned five successive top-flight home victories against Arsenal, with an aggregate score of 15-2

A sixth consecutive away league defeat against Chelsea would represent Arsenal's worst run against a club since losing seven in a row to Liverpool between 1981 and 1988.

Arsenal have kept only one Premier League clean sheet in their last 18 games at Stamford Bridge.

Decent performance.
Not a lot of style, but shit loads of character and battle hunger - and that's been their big failing, over the past couple of years

A nice brace from Lacazette, but they didn't dominate the game, and WBA could easily have had a pen. A nervy win, hope it builds confidence.

Where's Cazorla?

Arsenal news: Santi Cazorla injury return after Christmas, says Arsene Wenger | Metro News

 

[Streathamite]

We really need Santi back.
Decent win against WBA, but we were really shaky for much of the first half.
Yes, they should have had a penalty, but we should have had two, and Dawson should have been off.
I really do have a lot of sympathy for refs when it comes to playing advantage. It's just one of those calls that you can never, ever get right. You'll always be crucified

Kroenke trying to buy out Usmanov - think this should be the other way round

Stan Kroenke makes £525m offer to buy Alisher Usmanov’s Arsenal shares

Scrappy, nothing much game in Belgrade. Weirdest team selection I have seen in a long, long time. Plus, sadly, with every game he gets, Theo seems nowadays to justify Wenger's lack of faith in him.
On the plus side, Jack looks like he's on his way back to his best, magical goal from the most admirable squad player we have and 3 points away are good enough reasons to celebrate.
No wonder this lot so often get thumped by top sides though

Just noticed the BBC noticing this wikipedia edit lol.

Reindeer Cup draw -

Chelsea v Bournemouth

Arsenal v West Ham

Leicester v Manchester City

Bristol City v Manchester United


I suppose Bristol will be hoping for City in the Semis.

OK, good from the Swansea game:their resilience and capacity to fight back from behind.
Bad: just about everything else. We fluked a scrappy win against a team above the relegation slots on goal difference. Against a better team we would get murdered.
In fact, we did. They were called Liverpool

i see the spurs are whining again

Thank fuck for that. Apart from beating the spuds there is not much left to the season.

Not till city, chelsea and spurs return to their mid-table homes

 

[Streathamite]

That was definitely a penalty, for all Burnley may feel hard done by.
The only person they should have a go at is Tarkowski, for being daft enough to do a two handed shove right under the referees nose

from fifth to seventh, the tottenham quest for mid-table's on track

Moving on up. Not going to win but must put a boost to the team before the Manu game. Four points ahead of the spuds too.

God, Ozil was phenomenal last night. He made every other player in the league look like a Carthorse.
All of which does tend to beg the question: why can't he do that more often, and especially against the biggest teams?

It was a comment on the relative Arsenal position compared to Spurs actually.

Sorry I can't replicate but Spurs would be off a screenshot of the top 5 right now.

True - but I'm too busy to scroll that far.

Because he's not usually playing for a transfer in the Jan transfer window
