Match Day Thread Vs Stoke (A)

i needed paracetomol and a 90 min walk down the riverbank to clear mine but it does seem to clear quicker when you aren't still down about the result from yesterday..

 

Head it back to the keeper forgetting opponents can't be offside from your pass?

 

He twists his head/neck so I think he's trying to flick it on (help it out the area)

 

Evidently they can't be offside from a Charlie Adam header onto Berrahino either, if yesterday is anything to go by.

 

I don't think he has, either. It's such a shame; when he played alongside Suarez he was the business, but since then it's all gone tits up. These injuries are very strange. I think there's more to it.

 

I give in.

 

I was thinking as watching fair enough yeha I'm not obviously keen on the flares etc. Then he got to his reasoning

 

Firmino managed to see their goal through all that red mist though, did he not!

 

Some tricky fixtures for rivals next week as well.

City away to Saints won't be walk over
United home to Chelsea hopefully dropped points

Arsenal away to Boro should be comfortable win though.

 

Man Utd are a bit like us in these games; turn up against the better sides!

 

Arsenal are the worry

 

Palace away tomorrow isn't easy, especially as they are playing catch up in the next few weeks in terms of games played and playing on mondays so extra pressure if teams above win.

Then have Boro away, Leicester home and Spurs away. I can't see them picking up max points there, you'd have to fancy Spurs to finally beat them this year being at home and the form they're in. Especially as have city in league in between.

After that, United at home, Wenger always loses v Mourinho, Stoke away and Everton home.

Their fixture list isnt nice, especially as like I say trying to catch up.

 

Posted this in another topic.

 

Help us catch Chelsea

 

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal - Palace away is tricky for everyone - 1 point
Middlesborough vs Arsenal - Agree 3 points
Arsenal vs Leicester - Agree 3 points
Tottenham vs Arsenal - Spurs home record should make this a Spurs win - 0 points
Arsenal vs Man utd - Mourinho always has Wenger, max 1 point, prob 0 points.
Stoke vs Arsenal - Probably be a win, but Stoke away isn't easy - 3 but possibly 1 point/
Arsenal vs Everton - Everton at home with probably nothing to play for 3 points
Arsenal vs Sunderland (currently postponed) - Agree 3 points
Southampton vs Arsenal (currently postponed) - Saints away won't be easy, but possibly on holiday, 1 point.
I'd give them around 15 points, remember they already have 2 mid week games in Leicester & City in FA Cup and will have to squeeze the Sunderland and Saints game into mid week as well. At the end of a long season, you ideally don't want to be playing every 3/4 days, especially when they don't have brilliant squad depth and some injury prone players.

 

Hmmm. 8 points in 8 games against the others in the top 7 ( only 1 win) might suggest otherwise.

 

True, but could all look worse if they beat Palace tomorrow

 

It's going to be difficult for Arsenal and MU from here on in, I'm just glad we've got the points in the bag rather than games in hand.
When they play each other it could knock one of them out of the reckoning altogether

 

To be fair the goal is in the same place at most stadiums. He could have guessed where the goal was.
