There's some shit in that 11 too.

Too top heavy in my book.

A red card (or bookings around double figures) used to be standard for our games.

Wouldn't surprise me if the game is called off on account of the incessant rain.
On a plus note , Manure might have a stronger team for the replay defending their 12 home game record against the Gunners.

I'm wary of tempting fate, but whenever I see Luiz and Chambers on any team sheet, I feel a little bit happier.

Good going forward, for sure, but how many times have we said this about Arsenal sides?

I'd take that.

Both sets of fans seem rather low on confidence come prediction time.

How the mighty have fallen!

I'm going for Arsenal 2-0.



I hope we can build on our vanquishing of Rochdale though.

Damn, I hate to see your prediction when they face what you call The best team in Europe, Liverpool.




Still, I suppose not everyone can be a real fan.

Quite right about that one.

When was was the last time an EPL game was called off due to rain?

Nothing between the two sides really. A lot of waste in the game and the goal was the only real moment of quality.

James for only 15m? We've had a right result there. Every time he gets the ball he looks a threat.

Would be surprised if this finished 11 v 11 on that pitch with players slipping and sliding about.

If Bouldy couldn't bend the managers ear about defending, I don't know how Freddie will.

It drives me fucking mad to see a defender turn his back on the ball.

^ Two not so great sides on show at different stages of their development, mate.

My concern is that Arsenal have a lot more to give going forward, which we haven't seen so far.

What you know about the British weather right now, you could copy and paste out of the Guardian

It's fucking cracking that VAR eh.

Disappointed not to win that, but the way confidence has been this last 7 or 8 days, I'd have taken a point beforehand.

Despite his mistake for their goal, Tuanzebe will be a player. James already is.

I sound like a broken record, but the signs are ok even if the points are not. Get a striker in the window. Need. Need. Need.

Aubemeyang will do.

Right, so one helluva long time ago, then.

The pitches drain so fast these days that it's unheard of.

You are such an utter moron across a massive span of subjects, and the funny thing is that you're completely unaware of it.

You read so little that you think the only way to know the weather is based on whether or not you're getting wet.

Ozil can score a goal. And you've got a chance to sign him.

That Aubameyany money will come in handy for rebuilding your defence

We can do that with Ozil's wages.

Actually I reckon United should go for Kane, he's just what they need, and he'll become a lifelong United supporter in seconds.

AC Milan could reportedly set their sights on Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil in January as he continues to be linked with an exit.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE etc.

I liked the BBC analysis;
"a rivalry drowned in a downpour of mediocrity",
and even better;
" like two old bald men fighting over a comb"........
Oh how the mighty have fallen.
Excellent.

It was pretty fucking dire to be honest.

Don't recall a shot on target in that 1st half. Though I was otherwise engaged.


So that would be 1 1/2 games.

When will they next manage a shot on target, 2023?


The record of worst start isn't the only one they're after by the looks of things.
