Tonight at 7 pm on BBC 1. Also apparently on You Tube!! Our number is 27. Sunderland’s number is...oh, hang on, they aren’t even it having being beaten by the Mighty Mansfield. Obviously we all want a home draw but who would you prefer? For me any poorly performing Championship team.
I know a lot of you may seem downbeat about this draw, and I'm aware most of you aren't happy with Bruce as manager, but trust me. We are awful. Like horrendously bad. If any of you have seen us play consistently this season, we've probably been the 16th best side in the league (which is almost reflected in our league position) and that's no exaggeration. We can't score. Don't defend well. Don't create chances. Mentally weak. Lacking quality. There is absolutely nothing going for us right now. We have lost our last 3 home matches in a row. We've averaged 9.5 shots per game - less than any of the bottom clubs across Europe's top 5 leagues bar Sheffield United. We went 8 hours without a goal from open play. It's our worst start to a season since 1983. I was born in the 90s, so I can safely tell you, this is easily the worst Arsenal team I've had the misfortune of watching - it's not even close. Honestly, you can beat us. Doesn't matter if you play expansive football or counter-attacking football, you have every chance of winning the game. Absolutely nothing to fear.
The sooner we're out the better... We need 40 points and we can go for the league cup semi... Sorry that's the ceiling
Which is fair enough - but we're losing/being outplayed by everyone right now. Even with Bruce as manager, you can beat us. It's a 50/50 game.
