I'm getting mildly hysterical now that football is almost back after that complete nonentity of a FIB.
We lose and arsenal are ahead of us after 12 games and that would be I hope eye opening for some finally. We must win if we have any title aspiration
2.4 to 1.6 Make of that what you will. The stats say somewhere like 3-1 or 2-2 is likely. Probably end up 0-0 or something stupid now.
This will be a win. Not sure why people are worried. The break would be more beneficial to us. We’ve been brought to earth after our triumph at OT but now we’ll bring Arsenal lucky run to an end. 4-1. Anything but a win will be a step backwards in our challenge for the title.
Anything but a win and we are fighting for 4th. A loss and we are looking decidedly dodgy for even that. West ham for 3rd. Arsenal and brighton tonight for 4th
I think it might be to their detriment, I.e a little overconfident and we run them ragged. Last 2 results weren’t good enough but I fancy a reaction here, let’s get back on the saddle
It's about playing our game at the top level.as that shows we respect them as an opponent. they have so many good players who can hurt us. We have to make them "give up" cos its too hard.
I haven't seen much of Arsenal lately - have they learned how to play out from the back, or do they just hoof it up-field instead?
pro fouls are good fouls imo. A few more yellow cards taken would improve our fortunes. Fernandinho mastered the art.
