Match Thread Arsenal 2-0 Everton. Sat March 14th. 5.30

[blue to the bone]

On the road again as the buoyant blues head down to London after 2 wins on a row to take on league leaders and champions elect Arsenal.

Probably the most difficult fixture of the season this as our former player Mikel Artetas side are hard to break down and are set piece specialists. Not very likeable though are they.

We are likely to see much changes to our side after 2 wins in a row. The rejuvenated Rochdale messi will keep his place.

Europe is still very much on. A difficult run of fixtures to come but the Moysetttes are getting excited.

Check the passports folks, the blues are going to Baku next season.

Into these soft southerners blues .

Derail their title challenge.

Well we should be fresh but look what happened the last time we had a decent break before the Man U game.

I think we will get something from the Arse and hopefully it's not a battering

First?

Edit; Doh, OK then 2nd.

I'll reluctantly take the draw on this one - but Moyes and the team if BOTH get their act together Re. selection and application can get a result.

 

[ArtetaMagic]

I think we win. There, I said it.

This'll be a good game to see if McMessi's last game was just a product of playing Burnley or if he's starting to get back into it.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Toughest game all year. Anything would be a bonus

 

[Seathestars]

Confidence is everything in football.
I think they will feel this game could be a banana skin and it’s getting to squeaky bum time for them.
The pressure on them could work in our favour and let’s be honest they haven’t looked great lately.
I’m hoping our confidence will beat their nerves.
0-1

Or, cynically, if he's playing for a new contract, here or elsewhere?

Nah, he just getting over all his troubles and found the arl mojo again

Edit; he a worker, if a tad slow, but with some skill

We got battered there last year but somehow managed to get a 0-0 draw. I would take that again. They are away in Germany Wednesday so hopefully will have a tough game.

Beto passes a sublime, curled injury time winner to start the Annual arsenal campaign rot. Followed by 15min delay as VAR team take the unusual step of a passport check to confirm it's actually Beto.

0-1.

Be prepared for them to get every decision. Based on what I've seen of them recently, the officials have been scripted.

 

[Nymzee]

Nervous about all the set pieces being fired on Pickford's head

 

[the golden visionary]

Preparing for arsenal to scrum in the box on corners, and instead of getting slammed like we were against the mancs, it will be called revolutionary.

Also possible first pen of the season for fouls on corners to them.

Miserable fixture, hate playing here. Good luck the boys but struggle to see any result here.
