When's the last time you've been this pessimistic before a game?

For me it's Barca away the other year when we got the predictable battering (although but for the ref and Bentner not living up to his own hype we might just have gone through that night)

Spurs at home last season.

That Barcelona game, away, after we'd taken a 2-1 first leg lead to the Nou Camp.

Everything about the pre-match build-up was pessimistic.

I'm indifferent nowadays, we lose games pretty often so you get use to it. I don't really see us up there anymore, even though I'd love us to be so losing to the top clubs is just confirmation of that.

If we lose at the weekend we lose, if we win great, it won't mean much as we won't be anywhere come the end of the season. Either way Wenger needs to be on his merry way for me to truly believe we can move forward, until then we'll just stagnate as we have done for years now.

Yet if we lose you'll be in the match thread moaning about how we should be doing better etc. Though tbf your not the only one.

We're no longer competing with the likes of United so any defeat is no longer as significant as it used to be.

Might as well not turn up, give the, the 3 points now.

we are gonna win, and win well!

1-3

man up

pretty sure we will lose but as always no matter how pessimistic i am feeling, there is always a part of me that believes we will do it. just like on tuesday night, i couldnt turn the tv off even though i wanted to because i didnt want to see us lose because there was still part of me that believed. i hate that bit of hope i always have. makes every defeat so much worse.


all wenger should say tomorrow in his team talk is "van persie said you were shit and not good enough to play with him. go prove him wrong"

But in reality he'll say, Podolski you are a little bit substituted after 68 minutes. Walcott you are little bit coming on after 72 minutes.
