Ginola14 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 the way their arrogant fans are talking on their shite forum you'd think they had the worst injury crisis ever and all refs are against them most of them not bothered about it really hope their fans' negativity transmits to their players and we can take advantage seeing us play without Bruno though is gonna be tough obs Schar a huge loss as well more hopeful of a draw than confident would rather win this trophy than qualify for Europe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Didn't realise Havertz is still injured for this. I don't particularly rate him but he's a real nuisance around the pitch. Plus the kid who came in for Saka is now injured as well so that a plus for us, he was doing pretty well for himself recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Can't think of a media campaign this strong determined to link a specific player to a specific club in a long time, mind Could understand it if was based on bids or strong rumours from the Arsenal end but it's been driven by purely 'neutral' media outlets. Be watching this one on ITV I think. Sky will probably dedicate a segment on how he'd fit into the Arteta system and images of him knocked up in an Arsenal kit to show before the game.

RS Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 The Isak to Arsenal thing is one of the joys bestowed on PL purple and PSR favoured clubs. Shows how biased the league is when what could potentially be the richest club in the world is deemed by the press to be a feeder club for the chosen 6.

LiquidAK Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Gutting we're missing Bruno and Schar for this given how depleted Arsenal are. Feels like such a golden opportunity.
