Wolverhampton Wanderers v Arsenal, 19:45 GMT (12/11, Sky Sports Main Event)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hopefully respond with a win then can box off worrying about Arsenal games for 6 weeks.

And more importantly, would be top at Christmas. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa is still suspended for them.

[Letters]

fakeyank is now at a distance where his powers should be useless against us.

[Marc Overmars]

Wolves are terrible so this should be a win, then again so were Southampton and we ran out of steam there, so you never know.

Would be a shame to head into the break on a sour note after leading all season, one last push for now lads.

0-2

[Marc Overmars]

:sick:

Don’t fuck this up please.

[Mac76]

3-0 Neves hatter

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wolves: Sa, Semedo, Collins, Kilman, Toti, Bueno, B Traore, Neves, Moutinho, Guedes, A Traore.
Subs: Sarkic, Ait-Nouri, Podence, Mosquera, Ronan, Matheus Nunes, Hodge, Campbell, Lembikisa

Arsenal: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Xhaka, Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus.
Subs: Turner, Tierney, Cedric, Holding, Elneny, Vieira, Marquinhos, Nelson, Nketiah.

No shocks in the starting XI.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jesus scores! However miles offside.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saliba. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gabriel header, nobody following it in. Well Martinelli did but miles out.

Xhaka off, Vieira on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pretty crap so far.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jesus header wide.

[Mac76]

Gabriel header, nobody following it in. Well Martinelli did but miles out.

Xhaka off, Vieira on.

I'm out and not watching - is Xhaka injured?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jesus hits the bar!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm out and not watching - is Xhaka injured?

He was sick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Toti booked.

Run at him!

[Mac76]

He was sick.

What like chucked up on the pitch?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Someone get Jesus a tap-in FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What like chucked up on the pitch?

I think so.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Foul throw. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saliba plays in Guedes. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

B. Traore booked.

Run at him!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

That was real shit.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Saliba a bit dodge on the ball tonight.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Wolves with a clear strategy neatly worked to soak up pressure and hope for something on the break.

[Marc Overmars]

This is not good. Hope we don’t fuck it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Partey booked.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Vieira wasteful - we just can’t get anything going. Looking very stale.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ODEGAARD!!! COME ON!!!

[Xhaka Can’t]

Vieira wasteful - we just can’t get anything going. Looking very stale.

Shut up

[HCZ_Reborn]

ODEGAARD!!! COME ON!!!

13-9

[Mac76]

Shut up

:lol:

[Mac76]

13-9

I admire your dedication

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinelli gets it right on the balls.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I hope Martinelli had some of his boys frozen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gabriel booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well held by Ramsdale.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jesus did well waiting for support.

Obviously not confident enough to go for goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Moutinho off, Podence on.

Semedo off, Lembikisa on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Traore could kill a man.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Man, give me five minutes in a room with Traore.

[Xhaka Can’t]

With guns and PPE obvs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ODEGAARD!!!

[Xhaka Can’t]

To the cunt in Australia texting me - wait 50 seconds.

[Mac76]

GET THE FUCK IN !!!

[Mac76]

We could overtake Man City on GD at this rate :lol:

[Xhaka Can’t]

We could overtake Man City on GD at this rate :lol:

Not if White has anything to say about it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What an effort from Podence.

If only Traore had the footballer part in his attributes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsdale saves.

Fans oleing. Fucking hate that shit.

[Xhaka Can’t]

It’s right up there with the wave.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 FT. :bow:

[Mac76]

5 points clear :bow:

[GP]

Quite pleased

[Letters]

WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED!

[Marc Overmars]

5 points clear. Well beyond anything expected at this stage.

Incredible effort so far. Let’s hope the World Cup doesn’t ruin our momentum.

Come on you Gunners. :bow:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Walking in a Bergkamp wonderland!

[selassie]

It's been an amazing season so far, I never thought we would be in this position after 14 games. Still very early into the season, but so far so good!

[Ralpheroo72]

To the cunt in Australia texting me - wait 50 seconds.

[Letters]

I was raising an eyebrow about this thing about Arsenal routinely not winning the league when we are top at Christmas but I checked and, sure enough, The Invincibles weren’t too at Christmas. In fact, we have more points than they did at this stage.
It still feels like squad depth could cost us, we’ll only need a couple of injuries to key players and we’ll drop a level. But there is something about this side, we are getting results which we weren’t last year. The title wasn’t even in my thinking before the season, we surely have to be in that conversation now.

I wasn’t even aware of this stat

I completely dismiss out of hand any idea that we will win the league, I do think however that it unlikely that we will finish any lower than third now.

However, what I would say is if Arteta thinks we can win the league this season…I think you will see it in whatever moves we make in January, as I don’t believe even he is deluded enough to think we can do it with such a thin squad.

[Letters]

I have been dismissing title talk but they’re passing every test.
Ok, Chelsea haven’t been in the best form but beating them at their place is “a statement”.
Especially doing so when City fluked a win to leapfrog us.
And sure, we should be winning games like we did yesterday but knowing City had lost it could have been a bottle job. But it wasn’t. Arteta has got them in this zone where they are laser focussed on winning every game. We will need some luck with injuries but I’m beginning to believe it’s a possibility. It wouldn’t have even crossed my mind preseason.

[WMUG]

I'm tempering my excitement by reminding myself of that run in April.

Liverpool (A)
West Ham (A)
Southampton (H)
City (A)
Chelsea (H)
Newcastle (A)

If ever there was a season destroying set of fixtures, it's that. We'll see what we're really made of then.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I think 18 points will be more than enough.

Yeah that’s brutal, especially now Newcastle are a different animal as well.

To be honest even the 5 games post-World Cup we’ll need to be at our best:

West Ham H
Brighton A
Newcastle H
Spurs A
Man Utd H

Not many easy fixtures in this league anymore that’s for sure.

We still have to fit in Everton (h) somewhere and then also Man City (h) too. :lol:

Having said that Man City have to fit in Spurs (h) and Arsenal (a) I suppose you could say.

Blimey, yeah.

I wouldn't put it beyond the PL to give us a double header to effectively decide the title :lol:

[Mac76]

I'm worried about the effects of the world cup - I hope England and Brazil go out early so our players aren't too involved and Arteta can work with the full squad more.
