Match Day Thread Vs Arsenal (A)

I was listening mostly on 5live once sky came in.

 

Radio 2 with Jones & Butler particularly in my youth when i was exiled in the South were a thing of joy.

 

Told you Arse don't start playing until second half.

 

used to hang on every word.. even when we were just getting updates. that pearl lad hall used to was lyrical about Anfield being the colesseum.

 

Arsenal are on such a high it could carry them to victory over us. Even if we go ahead they will expect to come back.
Gonna be a tough match

 

if they play in the first half like they normally do this season we will be 3 up at HT.

 

Hopefully.

 

well hope does spring eternal









and then is dashed from your lips by a simple twist of ref fate

 

Please won't some one mention Phil Babb. Who's greatest contribute to football was to make every man in the country wince at the exact same moment.

 

In any other season, I would say that a draw at the Emirates was a decent result . But not this. We are going for the title and we must win at places like these. 3 points and we remain in course.

We simply have to match City, stride for stride.

 

Depends, city might draw / lose tomorrow.

 

Still need to win. Get the title wrapped up ASAP and concentrate on the CL.

 

we still have to match the City result at the Emirates. Reflecting the difficulty of the results we have.

 

i was more thinking "please don't mention Phil Babb" tbh

 

I'd say his ability to head the ball half the length of the pitch was fairly impressive

 

In our 352 babb wasn't the absolute worst... pretty bad sure.

Mark Wright was a huge let down as he was bought to replace hysen who replaced hanson. always injured outside a bit of a purple patch later in career in the 3.

Ruddock was fat and awful.

bjorne kvarme was probably worst on the ball. quite how we bought him I dunno.

scales was ok. not hugely brilliant but better than those above.

babb... wasn't great was he? I think he was in and out as I recall and foe lot got in and played a bit.

 

round that time we had the problem the goalies didn't trust the defenders and vice versa so even good/decent players looked poor. It also looked like no defensive set ups were done in training apart from a basic "left CB cover near post" type stuff.
Sound a bit like like recent times by any chance

 

yeah James was really a flop and then ended up playing.

imo there was little bar partying going on compared to Utd.

when you look back at the old sky shows that soothe Utd angst now you.can see.utd were.miles ahead of the rest fitness wise

 

Arsenal are good at home, not taking all the points against Palace is likely to motivate them. We can beat them, this type of game we need to win to be champion.
