Today could mark the biggest week in the career of the mighty Unai Emery.
Spurs fans; fresh off petitioning the UK Government to make Top 4 an actual trophy so Pochettino can be reclassified as a proper coach, are nervously chewing their nails at the prospect of Arsenal fans gearing up their best #MINDTHEGAP memes.
They have to go away to Stamford Bridge to play a bruised and battered Chelsea. Spurs themselves are fresh off the back of a BREXIT beating from the LOCAL heroes of Burnley. They’ll likely be mentally fatigued and feeling symptoms of queasiness, fearing a giant bout of Spursy like behaviour is about the disrupt their GREATEST EVER SEASON.
I live for this. Remember back in the day when Arsenal would land in Februray, exactly this point in the season, bright eyed and bushy tailed because we were in three tournaments… only to get spanked by Monaco in the Champions League, lose to Blackburn in the FA Cup, then get slapped out of the league with three distressing defeats.
Could that be ‘plucky’ Spurs this evening?
Which Chelsea will show up? The team that rode Manchester City hard with a carefully crafted tactical plan that was both pragmatic and disciplined. Or will the players down tool, write their own team sheet and let the gods take care of the Sarri situation?
Who knows… but at the moment, I’m dreaming of a momentous collapse of the homeless ones.
Arsenal welcomes Bournemouth. They haven’t managed to build much consistency of late, but we know they can cause problems for us. They’ve scored 38 goals this season, which isn’t bad for a team that sits in 12th. However, their defence is shocking, especially on the road, so I’m hoping Emery stacks the team to break them early doors just like we’ve done in our last two games.
We really need fresh legs at the weekend. The quicker we can kill off the game and go into the energy conservation mode, the better… even more important because we know Spurs do not have that luxury.
In other news, Rob Holding is back in the training looking very pleased with himself on the Arsenal Twitter. Cannot wait for him to be back in the first team.

Leicester have binned Puel and brought back Brendy Rodgers! Great news for the Premier League. The exLiverpool manager deserves to be in mix over here and hopefully he’ll have a successful return. We need more nutters in the league and I live for his prezzers. Leicester really don’t fuck around, do they?
In blander news, Arsenal apparently fancied Atlanta’s Almiron this January, but the club couldn’t pull together £16m for him. Quite unbelievable. It’s always tough to know if someone will adapt from MLS, but that’s not the point, the point is we wante him, but could only muster a loan ask. Rapha Honigstein noted that the same thing happened with Nkunku, a player I watched score at the weekend, a player who definitely isn’t going to be available this summer. He really could have been handy for the run-in.
Think about this situation. The tightest club in the league, with Mike Ashley at the helm, had more money to spend than Arsenal this window. How can we be pleading poverty with £400m revenue? The only thing I’m thankful is that Emery didn’t lead us on. It would appear that going private with Stan is like giving £100 to the guy in the white van at a petrol garage and hoping he comes back with a flatscreen TV.
Except the flatscreen was Denis Suarez… and there’s water leaking from the remote. Bad times.
Right, BIG game tonight, let’s hope for an easy win, no injuries and a big fat spanking for Spurs.
COME ON YOU GOONERS! x
We have 3 CB’s and we don’t look more secure at the back. Instead, we have less attacker trying to beat a team parking the bus. We should play 4 – 2 – 3 -1 and try to score more goal.
Michael I’m watching it on Ronaldo 7.live link 1 through internet explorer on an Xbox and it’s glorious looking
Just can’t rely on refs at all. Either no foul given or he’ll get booked for simulation. Just straight up bullshit really.
Guen’s goal is down to experience. Any DM would pass the ball one time to Monreal or back to Leon. You don’t try to stop the ball and turn.
Just another customer
Just another day in the EPL…. our refs are so shite and bent it’s beyond belief. No wonder they are dragging their feet to implement VAR.
Michael I’m watching it on Ronaldo 7.live link 1 through internet explorer on an Xbox and it’s glorious looking
Yup, very HD like.
3 – 1
Lets not concede another silly goal.
It was indeed a foul on him, but he always seems to find himself in those situations, Guen…..Kos!!!!
Goal!!!
Coommme On!!! Kos scores. 3-1 to The Arsenal!!!
Kos managed more than a tap in!!!!
3 – 1
Just no more fucking lapses please.
I was going to slag off Ozil for that crap free kick but hey…. it ultimately led to Kos scoring.
f!!!Kn Jenk
Anyone know a channel that’s showing the match on mobdro?
Guen does it again!!!
Jenk clearly not at same level same wavelength
I don’t want Guen plays behind Torr. Torr should play further back.
Jenkinson looks like the kid in the playground nobody wants to play with!
Torr is running too far up. He should stay back!
Auba needs to step fucking up with his shots. Not even working the goalie.
Back 4 now
Iwobi on
Replay shows Ozil hit the post
Iwobi jeez……
Finally AUBA…….
4 – 1
Auba great finish
I missed the goal because I’m having a poop. Don’t tell me how to support
Aubameyang making us eat our words
Torr has to play DM and defend the middle. We are letting them to drive to our box with no DM insight. Finally Auba scores
Lol, I was yelling at Mkhi ‘RELEASE THE BALL’ and then he plays that beaut!
So Mkhi with a goal and two assists.
To think some people on here wanted that clown Eddie Howe at Arsenal lol.
Mihki to Pierre..YoPierre?
Saw that though. That’s the kind of goal you want to see him score. On the shoulder of the last defender and he made the right decision.
Half an hour to go, lets improve our goal difference ffs.
Should have dissed Mkhi beginning of the season. Look what a good diss does eh!
Take Torreira off now, need him fit for Saturday. Give Suarez a run out
Danny
I know. But he is the only “winger” wehave. Looks like Suarez is not impressing UE in training.
Yeeeeeaaahhhh! Auba scores. And we are now 4-1 up! Come on The Arsenal. Let’s build our goal average. This could prove useful for getting 4th spot.
Now we switch to 4 2 3 1
We need to keep shooting for another 10 min
No dilly dally
Two creative players come into the eleven and there is an instant improvement. Magic!
We need to take off certain players, what’s Emery waiting for???? Bring on Suarez ffs!!!
Laca on for mikhi
Mikhi has a v good 2 games
Yaaaaaay! Mhki had a great game today….
Suarez can’t even get in when we are 4 up…..fuck off Emery and The spanish twin towers.
Poor shot Laca.
Good sub that. Mhiki is becoming more and more influential and you don’t want him doing a whole 90 minutes with a 1245 kick off on Saturday coming up
Suarez will go down as another Kim K
So Ozil won’t get into Saturday’s game?
We should take Auba off for Suarez now.
Man u winning
Rent bois and spuds still 0 0
Emery out
manc up 2, was hoping Palace would do them
Can Torr come off. Carded and looks jaded still
Put David S on ffs
Ozil should have released…
Time to bring on Elneny.
Ugh finally…..
Denis, Denis, Denis, Denis….Bergkamp reincarnation…
Chelsey 1 up
Azed
Well we got Suarez on. It would be great if he actually showed up to validate his loan.
rent bois scored
United and Chelsea winning
Suarez must be really shit. Can’t even displace the overweight Mkhitaryan.
Chelsea also got a game in hand need a draw here.
bloody spuds will choke this game, we need them to draw ffs!
No way we should convert David S. loan.
Bloody red card that was.
Cunt tackle there by Daniels, pure cuntish
LACA BLOOD CLOT
Cream!
good goal
Take that for the cunt tackle
Useroz
Who tf is David S??
Manure is leading 2 – 0. We need to score more.
DM lol
Laca should buy Torr a drink. That was a dangerous tackle.
DM,
David Suarez?,,lol
Denis Suarez needs to show something here
Impressive thing about this win is that we did with a league 2 player, Jenkins on.
Leno hasn’t scored yet, we should be mixing it up a bit more with the goalscorers….
Palace scored
Palace with a goal back
loved that pass from Ozil to Laca there! Ozil DOES give us a different dimension that no one else has. I understand he is not always the player to play but he can also give us something special.
1-2 at Palace
Palace all over the cunts
Palace have got one back!
Come on Woy’s boys.
Missed the goal due to some serious crap streaming. Page after page of not one single website showing the game. Streaming can be a real chore.
Amazing that the FA makes all games available abroad but not in the UK. You’d think that the money grabbing bastards would have figured that they could make a shit ton of money by making all games available. Instead they want to ban pubs from showing all non BT and Sky sports games.
To be fair first start in about a 100 years for Jenkinson and I can’t think of any obvious fuck up from him so it can probably go down as a good game for him. Who starts at Spurs? Against Son
Fuck. Kos kicked by striker at the knee
Hopefully not AcL.
It’s all Spuds at the Bridge.
Results could go our way after all….
Shit. Kos is gone
And Koscielny is down holding his knee. Looks like an impact one hopefully
Hope Kozza not out for any time with that one. But please not mustafi saturday. Mustafi is really one of the worlds worst defenders.
That was a blatant stamp
The player knew exactly what he was doing—-he left his foot in
Looks serious for Kozzer.
Looks like it is no the shoe hitting the leg.
Suarez seems like a poor man Ramsey, and that’s not even good if he were a rich mans Ramsey…
Job done.
Spuds we are coming for you…….
I would have taken 5-1 before the game. Solid night. Good boost for the goal difference.
Kos has to be one of the most unfortunate players with injuries recently.
4 nil to the bin dippers
Dale you think you can make a comment without mentioning Suarez?
On to the next one….
