Burnley at home

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Sounds like you missed the whole point of the pill culture.

I didn't imagiine wenger staying on past the end of last season mate - so....you never know - especially as our handbrake is a leetle bit on and some of the players are a leetle bit leggy and jaded....


4 - 0...or....2 - 0...or 2 - 2 -


Put it this way Burnley - like all of the doomed to go down teams - have to win an away game at some point - and it is usually - thanks to Arsene's lack of managerialship abilities means it is US.

Said as much earlier in the thread but the nearer I get to the game the more I think that we will give them a real hammering tomorrow - imo burnley will make the fatal mistake of sitting back and trying to negate us instead of having a real go because we are suspect defensively with nearly every shot on our goals ending up in the net :oops: :oops:

Hard work, endeavour, and a total lack of the skills necessary to thrive in this league should see Burnley demolished. However: we have been all over the place this season, so I imagine we'll struggle to a 1-0 stroll about the park with lashings of sideways passing and an aversion to shooting.

As usual I will be watching this on a stream, but I intend to do some decorating in the morning so that when we do our ususal trick I can watch paint dry for an added burst of excitement until we score our inevitable scruffy goal in the last 10 minutes. :(

And the comfortable win will be followed by a barrage of bullshit saying how everything is rosey in Wenger's garden once again. As soon as any real pressure starts getting applied, we go on a run of results against beatable teams and the pressure is off him.

Until we play a few decent teams and the cycle of shite starts all over again . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :banghead: :banghead:
Worse than 07-8 Derby? They've nearly got half their point total already!
Derby had won a game by this time though, so I can see both sides of the argument. I think they'll come close to the Derby total because they look like they've given up already and they can't create chances, let alone score goals. That goal against Everton last week was a gift really.

As we batter Burnley I shall be excitedly listening to events unfold from the Brittania where the right result could see us leapfrog the financial superpowers of West Ham. Wenger's greatest ever achievement of pipping them and the Saints to the European places could very much be on

I'm afraid the very mention of their name gets me too excited at this time of the morning.....oh how we'll celebrate at the end of May when we seal another glorious year of Be All and End All football by beating them

Hopefully there'll be no pussy-footing around. Burnley are terrible and we should crush them but you never know with Arsenal.

When top teams play the worst in the league they should be able to rest key players and still batter them by three or four goals. I'm not holding my breath.
