Well, well, well my dears.
The season draws to a close and the major battle is who finishes 5th or 6th (a distant chance at 4th). My money would be on United. They have an easier game, they don’t have a European final to play, our manager has a history of fielding weak players when he has the vivid taste of Europa in his mouth.
At this point, who really cares?
The objective of the season was Champions League football, so there’s no way Emery is going to do anything damaging in this game for the sake of a few million in prize money.
What I’d like to see is some of the kids given a game. I’d have hoped the manager was going field a few more younger players this season. The age-old banter years conundrum of ‘should I blood a player that’s maybe not ready, or an experienced player that’s shite.’ Today, it’s clear, give the kids a go.
Emery is being clear that his selection is about fitness and preparedness after landing at 6am after the Valencia game… WHICH, my brother, dad, brother in law and his dad went to… and were furious I didn’t mention (photo from brother, who is a DJ if you like trance). Anyway, back to Emery.
“Tomorrow we are going to prepare for Sunday’s match but I am going to decide with the players who are hungry and in good physical condition to play this match.”
The gameplan is simple.
“We are going to play with the idea of imposing our gameplan, our capacity and our team against them. We know it’s going to be a difficult match with long balls, second actions and set-pieces, so we need to defend well in these situations.”
Yep, we’re going to impose the game plan.
Key output of today is that we don’t pick up any injuries… then we can prepare with as much of our squad available as possible. Then it’s with the gods.
I’ll keep this post brief. If you want a great podcast to listen to, jump on the SECOND Arsenal Opinion of the week, this latest was done with guest star, Demian Arriaga. He grew up in Venezuela, so he has some great stories about how he got into Arsenal, and there’s a nice piece on the time he met Edu. He also played SNL last night, pretty epic.
Follow him @DemianArriaga

Hello????
Anyone there ????
THANK GOD
I WAS GETTING SO LONELY
😪😪😪
really strange and quiet in here, but not much is riding on today’s game
Is that a first Guns Well done mate

Wait until the transfer speculation starts. This place is going to go nuts. Calm before the storm
I see some fans are already looking at potential signings Samesong
But the way things are sounding, I’m going to do myself a favour and not worry about it this summer.
Left
I’m with you on that.
Rather ugly lineup today, things could get hairy.
That’s not a team expecting to get top 4 via the league
Hopefully a great game from Mustafi and Elneny to raise their value a bit
Arsenal’s financial predicament was an accident waiting to happen.
If you’ve been allowed to drift for over a decade, without any accountability, what more do you expect?
Wenger and Gazidis must feel so ashamed of themselves.
Yeh, right!
Distinctlymintymunty
Spuds 0 Everton 3
Burnley 0 Arsenal 5
It can happen folks.
And here we are for our penultimate game of the season (I’m including our EL final ofc!).
I really would like to see The Arsenal win today. Show that they are proud of wearing our shirt. Is that too much to ask?
Emery makes me so furious not playing Lacazette and Aubameyang together. You don’t have to be a genius to see that they make and score the most goals TOGETHER!!!
Just wanted to get that off my chest!
Graham not with that team
What a season Sadio Mané has had. He’s scored so many opening goals for Liverpool in 2019.

really strange and quiet in here, but not much is riding on today’s game
I think no one realised thst Pedro had posted a post. This includes me.
Pedro!!! What are you up to??!! 😀
Come on The Arsenal!!!
Spurs up lol
Everton are shit
Shouldn’t it be a card. Their GK uses his hand to defend.
#outside the box
Off the post!!
Brighton playing well, can they do the unthinkable ?
Nelson
This is down to the high quality of refereeing in the PL.
And we have our great friend Mike “The cunt” Dean referring as well. So all is good.
Ozil left out? Willock given a start?
Let’s hope Chelsea pick up some injuries.
We are going to finish 5th, which is a.shame considering we had the easiest run in to finish 3rd.
Come on Brighton
As it stands Liverpool are title winners.
Brighton on the front foot and looking for a goal
Will Pep choke?? They aren’t looking too good at the minute
It really was a catastrophic capitulation from 3rd to 5th. So much riding on winning the EL.
Lich is absolute pony.
We had 3rd in our own hands at a canter and chucked it away
Emery’s little pooper went 💩
Jeanette kligger
Spot on. Signs of a coach who doesn’t know what he’s doing
Pool scores, Mane yet again drawing first blood.
Output from Iwobi hopeless. Crosses worse than guendouzi
Their striker has lost control of himself
Early momentum gone.
Guendouzi couldn’t defend with the shitty positioning.
Yeeeeesss
WOW
Iwobi is getting worse by the minute.
Useroz
What I don’t get is why Iwobi is getting so close to the box to then cross it in. Rubbish indeed.
lol @ City.
Brighton score….wow
Streams please ?
Lol I hate that. straight they score.
Get in Brighton
Fuckng called it didn’t I? They look well up for it
City look shit
A win for football
Fuck the oil clubs
Oh my days @ City. Lol. Pressure is on!
kin ell
Livrepool could do the league and european cup double.
Terrible defending
Actually Leno got away. Could have been a pen.
booo
1-1 in the blink of an eye, I think city will win now, always a question of getting that first goal.
A Cunts
Come on Brighton
That was poor defending Arsenalesque
Imagine the state of the table going into the last game and Pep decides to tinker with his line up and formation. It has all backfired so far. Not the time to be arrogant Mr Guardiola.
Brighton wil not hold a draw they need another goal.
Well we were a whisker away from being 1 down…. phew.
The man who continues bottles Finals VS the man who hasn’t won a trophy in his life.
Gosh, what an exciting CL finals we have.
Cardiff 1 up on Manure!
Lol Rambo
Rambo. I’d walk over hot coals and broken glass to have either in favour of our current coach
The man who continues bottles Finals VS the man who hasn’t won a trophy in his life.Gosh, what an exciting CL finals we have.
And the Europa finals is the man who specializes in winning it vs another man who hasn’t won a trophy in his life.
Also what an utter pile of turd has Game of Thrones become.
Pathetic. Slow, too many touches, no movements, snail pace, … never learn.
Mavro not up to it hopefully just rusty. Oh….already injured. Recurring???
Elneny so nothing.
Why bring on Koscielny? Unbelievable.
Relying on Mavro to make an impact next season perhaps isn’t the smart play. He’s managed, what, 5 appearances in 2 years?
Any streams ?
Pathetic. Slow, too many touches, no movements, snail pace, …
Theme all season long!
Laporte my type of defender.
what a bore. man city score again.
I think I hate City even more now. Wankers
Wow first time I’ve ever seen Arteta lips move on the touchline ever.
Why so much moaning today ?? Is today’s game more important than the ELC final ??
FFS…
lol samesong.
Arteta complaining about the pitch. Apparently he’s offered to cut it at halftime to make himself useful
Loan next season for mavropranos …let him prove he can stay fit first before being christened the Messiah
Why do people want City to lose ? Because they’re funded by oil money ? Too bad Liverpool are paupers,they only have the most expensive defender in the world and the second most expensive goalkeeper.
From a purely footballing perspective,City have clearly been the better team. Liverpool have been extremely lucky throughout the season.Their expected goal difference is 45 to the actual 65.
Puzzled with the Liverpool love in too, I’m with City 100%
Good kid Willock . Touch and shot. A foot off the post. Iwobi should take note.
We already being forced to support the scousers vs the spuds, one game is enough, please…
Let them lose the PL title one more time, and they will be even more motivated to win the CL.
Useroz
If Iwobi remembers.
Good shot from Willock
Fucking delivery Mikhi. 180k pw crossed like that??
lol Marko, in Arteta we trust to have a great pitch.
What a sucky free kick from Mikki
Yeah I don’t get why people like pool, city all the way. Pool can win the CL this year.
RH
Yeah you’re right bro just wanted City to sweat a bit more.
City over Poo all day
Leave things like HT would be fine.
Yep, no way I’d want Liverpool to win the league when we NEED them to win the Champions League.
Samesong I don’t even trust Liverpool to win the CL. That’s where they are really gonna piss me off.
I need them to lose the league so they demolish spurs, if spurs win the CL this place will be unbearable .
Mikhi really does not care. His attitude as a player is just appalling. Sooner we get rid of his type the better
Iwobi confidence as a player is completely shot. He is just soo scared to do anything with the ball just turns and lays it off.
He needs selling because if he is struggling confidence wise this year when the pressure hasn’t really been on the club the same it has previous years he will never be able to be relied on.
As it stands we are 30 points off the leaders. 30 points. That is not all.or even mainly down to money.
If spuds win the CL (please God don’t let that happens) it will be the end of Le Grove.
City has been the better team this season. Lots of Liverpool’s goals have been spotted as offside goals or offside in the build up that werent picked up by the officials. Also let offs such as Mahrez missing that penalty, Pickford taking the last kick of the game from going out and handing Liverpool a goal. If VAR is called fairly next season, I dont see Liverpool repeating this season.
The commentator on the stream I’m watching called Mkhitaryan rubbish for his free kick attempt at the end of the half – rubbish! What a crap player.
Football is a such simple game.
I could play any position on the pitch.
Why does Iwobi have so many issues, what is it ?
RH Spurs win CL I will be depressed for months.
