Early kick off though, we've never turned up before.
Draw is perfectly fine. Keeps us only 1 point behind (assuming we win our game in hand) Chelsea and possibly 2 behind Liverpool (assuming they win). Plenty of games left to go.
In fact, there's probably more pressure on Mourinho. Anything less than a win for them should result in them losing their top place.
Things are building up for a cracker.....need Kos and Merts to be massive.....if only Wenger can finally get one over JM

Who's the guy in the background. :unsure:
Please, please, please don't let the ref ruin this. Just give us 90 minutes to take these scumbags on and end that home record of theirs. This HAS to happen. After all the shit about failure coming from that cunt maureen, Wenger can boot that home record on his 1000th game and take us within a point of that trash with a game in hand. Despite their billion quid efforts to buy up everything in sight. This MUST happen. The chavs will pull out every trick in the book tomorrow, the team will have to be 100% in every position. No passengers.
Just give us this one Arsenal :pray:
---------------Ches--------------
Sagna-----BFG------Kos-----Gibbs
--------Arteta/Flamini--------Rosicky---------
Ox----------Cazorla-----------Pods
------------Sanogo/Giroud--------------
Is Ramsey back for this game?
So odds on RvC (4-6 weeks) is back before Ramsay...
Jesus will return before Ramsey. He's had two fatal assessments so far, "back in 2 weeks" and "suffered a setback". There's only one more serious assessment that can be made, thankfully we haven't heard it yet - "He will be like a new signing when he returns".
Atleast Wenger sorted out the payrise before it all .
It would be great in so many ways if we won this, but we have so few options with Walcott, Ozil, Ramsey, Wilshere and possibly Rosicky out.
Our best chance would be to go pacy and unpredictable with Gnabry and Oxlade behind Sanogo. But Wenget will stick with the same team, with Flamini probably in for Rosicky to further erode our attacking fluidity and threat. We really need Podolski and Giroud to have their best games of the season or else we'll be mostly blunt again.
What bars/pubs will be good to watch the game at in London?
Wenger has given chances to many players . He has even sacrificed his own pride for those players who have disappointed him sometimes . It is now their turn to pay him back . It could be a special gift if they could work their socks off and beat Chelsea to allow Arsene to celebrate his 1000th game with a smile .
The players who were helping Mourinho to beat Wenger are all gone : Drogba especially . We have no excuse not to get a good result . I can not see any Chelsea player who can intimidate the current Arsenal . If Arsenal can not win the game , get at least a draw . They must avoid the defeat at any cost because this is a special game which will go down to the history . Especially as it is against Jose whom Wenger has never beaten before .
Come on Arsenal break the record and make things happen .
I'd be disappointed if we don't end that cunts home record, it's all set up nicely, COYG :scarf:
For anyone on Virgin, BT Sport is free for the rugby this weekend but it was unblocked all yesterday and this morning as well.
I wouldn't be surprised if they blocked it again for the match but you never know...
^ Knowing those cunts, they'll probably keep it going until the pre-match build up then cut off the feed as soon as the teams walk out :lol:
I would snap your hand off for a draw to be honest, I think that would be an excellent result even if we have to play "19th century" football to do it. I don't think we will win the league, my priority would be to finish second or third to avoid a qualifying round of the champions league and then winning the FA cup. That in my opinion would be a successful season, and would be a sound basis for us to push on in the Transfer market and looking towards winning the league in the next few seasons.
Have doubts after the event if necessary, there's nothing to be gained from having them before it. Not only are we winning this, we're winning the whole thing.
Arsenal team: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Arteta, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Podolski, Giroud

Kallstrom :bow: :bow:.
nah i'm just being realistic, even if we lose i will be more philosophical than devestated but here and now i'd take a draw all day long. Mourinho doesn't need to be made to pay, by reacting to his comments we are only enabling him.....he's a very, very ill man mentally.
Chelsea 2 - Arsenal 3

(first post)
Rosicky! :scarf:
Let's have a start like last week and a finish like Kanuuuuuuuuuuuu - but without any chav goals. That would do.
Ox will probably start down the middle again with Rosicky out wide. Not sure how that's going to work out. Ox more dangerous in the wings.
