Arsenal v Watford, 16:00 BST (26/07, Sky Sports PL)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Let's get this shit over with. Relegating Mr. Cojones would provide some small amusement though.

[I am invisible]

Cup final starting places up for grabs here - who wants it?

Failing that, who wants an Arsenal future of any kind?

Not much to play for in the league, but still plenty for Arteta to learn about these players going into the summer window.

[Mac76]

I'd like to think Arteta wouldn't risk people like Auba, Tierney and even Martinez in this match but i don't hold out much hope of his being that sensible

Still i hope we win so we can all laugh at Deeney's lack of cojones :lol:

[I am invisible]

Yeah, I’d be very tempted to give one last chance to impress to anyone I was in the least bit unsure of - let them think that they might have one match to save their Arsenal careers, and see who that actually matters to.

Then again there’s a lot to be said for confidence and momentum, and in getting the players hungry for wins and fighting to keep their place in the side, even in games that aren’t that important. Wouldn’t be at all shocked if we went full-strength to get one last win under our belts and build a bit of momentum going into the final...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aubameyang will surely start, giving him a final chance for the Golden Boot.

I don't agree with resting players for a game six days away anyway.

[Mac76]

Aubameyang will surely start, giving him a final chance for the Golden Boot.

I don't agree with resting players for a game six days away anyway.

It's not so much about resting them as avoiding injury to key players in what's a dead rubber for us but a must-win game for Watford where they won't be shy of putting the boot in if necessary

Auba's three goals behind Vardy, he'll never catch up, he shouldn't even be in the ground today, nor should most of our ideal first eleven for the final

[Globalgunner]

What does the golden boot matter anyway?. We are going to finish 8th at best 10 most likely.

[Xhaka Can’t]

What does the golden boot matter anyway?. We are going to finish 8th at best 10 most likely.

Is 'groundsman of the year' still up for grabs?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What does the golden boot matter anyway?. We are going to finish 8th at best 10 most likely.

It doesn't ever matter to us but this is irrelevant.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[GP]

3-0

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbz. :bow:

[Mac76]

predictably Arteta puts out Auba and the others, what a naive fool he is, if anything happens to anyone that makes them miss the final it'll be his fault

[Mac76]

Sourness already talking about how Watford need to be 'aggressive', i.e. put the boot in, so obvious to everyone except Arteta this will be a tough game

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[I am invisible]

Right, let’s get this over with...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ceballos shot, over.

Lacazette got a clattering in the box.

[Mac76]

that's def a pel

[Marc Overmars]

That’s a penalty?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PELANTY!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AUBAMEYANG!!!!

[Mac76]

[Mac76]

Watford :rose:

[Marc Overmars]

8th place trophy is coming home

[Mac76]

ceballos gives Deeney a good kicking

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba scuffer.

[GP]

Wow they really tried their hardest not to give that one didn't they?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinez saves. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Watford should have scored there. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Handball!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We're in full on coast mode now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

TIERNEY!!!! :bow:

[Mac76]

[GP]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Might be an OG. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Let’s rack up the +1’s.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arteta is giving them a rocket.

[Mac76]

Arteta is giving them a rocket.

jeez what would he do if they were losing?

[Master Splinter]

Deeney :haha:.

Welbz :(.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

jeez what would he do if they were losing?

Nice new red shirts would be all red.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa should give us their European Cup after this week tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great first touch from Laca but then a bizarre second touch.

[Mac76]

such a messup by laca in the box there

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinez is quite commanding.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AUBAMEYANG WHAT A GOAL!!!

[GP]

From a long throw :lol:

[Mac76]

3-0!

Watford :pal:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mr. Cojones. :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Auba, golden boot is there with some +1s.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pereyra booked.

We're in double figures for GD. :faint:

[GP]

3-0

:gp:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Waterford should just let us be record breakers.

10-0. :pray:

[I am invisible]

I didn’t care that much before, but if we can relegate Deeney and take rat face’s golden boot then I’ll call that a good day

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinez comes out to get it but wipes himself and David Luiz out in the process.

[GP]

Emi is a superstar

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Watford.

That all came from shocking play by Holding.

[GP]

Clowns

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1 Deeney.

[Mac76]

it's a shame, Holding's still a good player IMO but he has had a bad game so far

[Mac76]

damn, Martinez nearly got to it

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka reaches 10 for yellows. :bow:

[Mac76]

Xhaka talks himself into the book, please sell him Arsenal ffs

[Globalgunner]

Xhaka talks himself into the book, please sell him Arsenal ffs

Best midfielder we got some say

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hughes as cynical as it gets.

Pepe did a direct thing too.

[Mac76]

disgraceful tackle by Hughes

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1 HT.

7 in the second half is still doable.

[Mac76]

come on Auba, beat rat-face

[Marc Overmars]

Weird game. Not a whole lot of intensity but 4 goals.

[Letters]

3-0

:pal:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We were playing Drew McIntyre's theme then. :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Is that Drew McIntyre’s theme music? :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

We were playing Drew McIntyre's theme then. :haha:

I really hope playing WWE themes becomes a regular thing now. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is that Drew McIntyre’s theme music? :haha:

Yup!

Are we after any sponsorship we can muster?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I really hope playing WWE themes becomes a regular thing now. :lol:

Goldberg's HAS to happen.

[Mac76]

Holding been better so far this half

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clowns at the back. :bow:

[Mac76]

Masina :haha:

[Mac76]

that should be a second yellow for Dawson

[Mac76]

Deeney outpaces Xhaka - that says it all

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why did Xhaka hammer that at Tierney?

Bonkers.

Kolasinac and Nketah on.

Willock and Lacazette off.

[Mac76]

Kola coming on to throw away the match

Drew. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maitland-Niles goes for pure power. Foster saves.

What a save to deny Welbz.

Sexy football from Watford.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pereyra freekick wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbz went for the audacious and Martinez saves!

[Mac76]

pereyra :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Martinez saving our sorry arses.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Useless from Nketiah. Terrible pass to Auba.

[GP]

What the fuck are we doing??

[Marc Overmars]

Stupid from Eddie to give that to Auba.

[Mac76]

Eddie should've scored then

[Marc Overmars]

Eddie is crap. What kind of striker passes when clean through on goal. He didn’t even consider shooting.

[Mac76]

Eddie is crap. What kind of striker passes when clean through on goal. He didn’t even consider shooting.

yeah we've seen enough to know he's not really up to it

[Mac76]

Tierney... :rolleyes:

[GP]

Tierney sends one to tesco

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Doucoure off, Chalobah on.

Hughes off, Cleverley on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No scores from other games please.

[Xhaka Can’t]

No scores from other games please.

Deeney :haha:

[Mac76]

[Xhaka Can’t]

Deeney just dropped the Ashes! :haha:

He doesn’t have the cojones when it matters.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We're embarrassingly bad.
