Here are some reasons to look forward to this game:

 

  • Arsenal are one of the best teams in the country. A win would be a major scalp.
  • We have only lost three home games all season. A good result here would extend this very decent record
  • This season Arsenal have lost away to Southampton, Stoke and Swansea, suggesting they are beatable
  • Our chances of a good result are boosted by Arsenal's tiring and potentially dispiriting midweek trip to Monaco.
  • Unlike other 'Top 6' sides, Arsenal have not been able to batter us at St James Park in recent years, scoring just 2 goals in their last 3 visits to St James Park. Assuming this trend continues, we should at least be competitive.
  • In football, teams often up their games after a cathartic poor result jolts them into life. Our 3-0 defeat to Everton could do this to us.
  • No one is expecting us to win so the players will be playing without pressure, which could be conducive to a good performance
  • We could see a vintage Moussa Sissoko performance. Arsenal are 'the club of his heart' so he may well up his game.
  • No matter how poor a coach John Carver is, the law of averages suggest we should still get at least one really good result under his tenure. For example, under Joe Kinnear we earned surprise wins over Spurs and Villa. Under Howard Wilkinson, Sunderland beat Liverpool. Under Steve Kean, Blackburn earned a stunning 4-3 win over - you guessed it - Arsenal.

Who's showing this in town? I'm at the match sadly but have a friend coming up to watch it hopefully and meet up afterwards.

 

Monkey Bar is the best bet. I'm sure Shearers/NINE show every home game as well.

 

Cheers. Didn't realise the Monkey Bar had the gear.

 

New manager came in not long before Christmas and brought the dodgy channels back in :thup:

 

:thup:

It's a canny enough bar as well.

I know it's my regular pre-match bar. They discount the drinks when you display a season ticket etc. Just never knew they had the snidey channels.

Can you really not watch every Premier League match in England on a regular channel? How does that happen?

 

Because of the detrimental effect it could have on the lower divisions attendances and the way it's going the PL itself.

Imagine how much money I save along with such infrequent need for haircuts  ;)

It's a complete farce. A Premier League club, Premier League as in the richest league in the world, going into it's next 3 games with only one available centre half and could be none if Williamson gets injured or sent off in that time.

 

There's better organisation and planning in your average Sunday League team. A complete shambles thanks to the fat mans penny pinching.

We seem to be talking about squad shortages every single year, especially after January.

 

Those people still buying ST's need to take a good look at themselves, essentially condoning this mismanagement.
