Rayvin 5918 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Aye, I was talking to an Arsenal fan the other day and he was saying they'd had two players sent off for time wasting Arteta clearly taking the 'if you can't beat'em, join'em' approach with this. Shame then that he doesn't know how to do it properly... why are your players already on yellow cards, doing the timewasting? That feels like a fairly stupid approach. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy oh boy, the speed I c&p-ed the league table. Brother, it would have made your head spin clean off. I would absolutely love it if City somehow caught them. The reaction, fume, uproar, would be beautiful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can grind out a draw or a defeat by the odd goal, it’s game on back at SJP Well I think we’re all of that opinion. No one has really addressed our weakened side though, or the near absolute fuckin necessity for Arteta to win a trophy very soon for the sake of his own job… for that reason alone I think there’s a chance they’ll play a strong side and try to put the tie to bed as best they can tomorrow night, not to mention their fixture list with two champions league games at the end of January. If they do try to go for it then I think they’re ripe for being hit on the counter and it’ll make for a very competitive and watchable game. But with a half fit Sven or the fairly average Kelly in our back line coupled with the signs of fatigue shown in the 57 minute second half on Saturday then for me it’s going to very be tricky to get a servicable outcome… a draw would be a fuckin great result… Edited January 6 by PaddockLad 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. But a trophy + 2nd place makes him hard to sack at the end of the season. Ask Sir Jim Ratcliffe for details 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask Sir Jim Ratcliffe for details I don't think there's any appetite to sack him. Pep is surely, SURELY, fucking off at the end of this season. That leaves a giant chasm to fill and Arteta is one of the managers better positioned to fill it. He's got form for this sort of thing. After banging your mam!

Things can easily swing around and the law of averages say we can't keeping winning every week. We have Wolves, Bournemouth, Southampton and Fulham. A great opportunity to put the after burners on but there is no chance we'll win all of them. That would be 9 league games on the spin, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think that Arteta's eyes will be on the Champions League, staying as close to Liverpool as possible in the league, and the more prestigious FA Cup.
