Shame we're not the early kick off, get it out the way and enjoy the rest of the day.

Do these muppets have any kind of performance left in them?

McNamara That Ghost...
26-12-2020, 12:44 PM
I think the players have tuned out until we get another signing recommended by Kia Joorabchian in January.

Marc Overmars
26-12-2020, 01:02 PM
Don’t know why but I think we might pub a win.

0-3 Abraham hatter

Tammy is 5/2 to outscore Arsenal. Worth a punt???

Xhaka Can’t
26-12-2020, 04:23 PM
Don’t know why but I think we might pub a win.

Yeah, I don’t know why you think that either.

You’ll probably think differently about three and a half minutes in.

No willian or Luiz in the squad at all.


Although Xhaka starts. He should never be picked again after his red card tbh

Marc Overmars
26-12-2020, 04:42 PM
Martinelli and Smith-Rowe start. As does Mari. :popcorn:

McNamara That Ghost...
26-12-2020, 04:54 PM
Arsenal: Leno, Bellerin, Holding, Pablo Mari, Tierney, Elneny, Xhaka, Saka, Smith Rowe, Martinelli, Lacazette.
Subs: Runarsson, Cedric, Mustafi, Miatland-Niles, Ceballos, Willock, Pepe, Nketiah, Aubameyang.

Chelsea: Mendy, James, Zouma, Silva, Chilwell, Kante, Kovacic, Mount, Pulisic, Werner, Abraham.
Subs: Kepa, Rudiger, Azpilicueta, Emerson, Gilmour, Jorginho, Havertz, Hudson-Odoi, Giroud.

yeah, sorry to see Xhaka but i guess it was inevitable - hope the young guys do well

hobson's choice
26-12-2020, 05:08 PM
So Bellerin against Pulisic or the other one. And once again Xhaka walks right into this team. This again is not a game for Xhaka, ffs play AMN in the fucking middle instead off Xhaka and Ceballos

Globalgunner
26-12-2020, 05:12 PM
Arteta had little imagination in his latter days as a player. Showing even less as a manager. How crap is this squad that Xhaka gets picked every time

McNamara That Ghost...
26-12-2020, 05:16 PM
Werner hasn't scored in 8 games. Don't worry Timo, we've got your back.

Marc Overmars
26-12-2020, 05:20 PM
Gabriel is isolating as a close contact was positive.

Willian and Luiz are both unwell but tested negative.

Thats the narrative but who cares. Luiz and Willian are no big miss

Martinelli scuffer.

Marc Overmars
26-12-2020, 05:33 PM
Bright start.

McNamara That Ghost...
26-12-2020, 05:35 PM
Is that an effort on target from Lacazette? It bounced against him. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
26-12-2020, 05:45 PM
Holding gives it straight to Werner, nothing comes of it.

We had our fun, now back to nervous kittens at the back.

One of the most exciting players ever to put on an Arsenal shirt.

Have we had a 2 goal lead in any league game this season?. I cant remember any

2-0 HT. Stop the count!

McNamara That Ghost...

Fulham. Until it was 0-3.

Mac76
26-12-2020, 06:17 PM
good goal - this does mean xhaka will still be playing for us when he's 80 though... :(

Marc Overmars
26-12-2020, 06:17 PM
Not bad.

Still can’t do much effectively from open play but a deserved lead I would say.

Mac76
26-12-2020, 06:19 PM
good first half - hold it together lads :pray:

McNamara That Ghost...
26-12-2020, 06:19 PM
Xhaka in Red Dead Redemption 3, maybe 4 actually.

I've got a plan, Arteta!

Gooner23
26-12-2020, 06:20 PM
The Martinelli effect.. has given the team a massive injection of energy. Smith Rowe is also playing well, provides a link to the forwards that we've been missing.

yeah, after this he's got to give them both a proper run in the first team

Amazing how different a performance can be with a bit of movement, energy and interest.

If Saka and Martinelli stay fit then Willian and Pepe shouldn't start in the league again this season.
