Up the Arse! Goons Thread

[Smyth94]

I smell another 2-0 v Everton. Hopefully Theo is right to go for this as he'll be important vs their FBs who like to push up.

Huge week coming up - almost the same one we had in November (Merseyside - CL - Manchester). Will be pretty chuffed if we can get something off City as we have one less day to recover along with Napoli who will be throwing everything at us in the CL.

Huge run of games coming up for us

Everton at home 8/12
Napoli away 11/12
Manchester City away 14/12
Chelsea at home 23/12

I think we will drop points at City, the Etihad is a fortress this season.

 

[Benno_900]

A draw would be a fantastic result at the Etihad.

But having said that, I wouldn't take it if it were offered right now. I'd trust us to get all 3.

 

[glenferry23]

City's home form has been awesome, I would most certainly view a draw as a decent result for us.

Interesting to see rvp copping injuries now, not just at bloody Arsenal !

 

[glenferry23]

His worst injuries actually happened when on international duty, but then ruled him out of playing for us for 5-6 months. Not sure how severe his current injury is though.

Speaking of injuries, Sagna is out for tomorrow and likely Napoli and City. So a big week or so for Jenko at RB.

Pulled heartstrings aren't that serious.

Sweet set of results last night. Good chance to break clear. Especially if we then hold the gap after results v Chelsea/Man City.

 

[glenferry23]

Yes a very good set of results, up to us now to capitalize. Especially with games against City and Chelsea around the corner, would be brilliant to extend our lead as far as we can.

United, lol.

 

[Cruyff14]

Vital we win tonight, it will take us 7 points clear and in the even we do slip up vs City and/or Chelsea, still gives us a bit of a gap.

 

[7zark7]

We always used to slip up when faced with this situation. Let's show some spirit and get a nice 7 point buffer!

 

[windyhill]

Arse 2 eve 1.
Please boys,please.

 

[Zidane98]

Got a feeling you'll spank Everton.

 

[GordonBlue]

**** I'm nervous! The idea of 7 points clear is just uncomprehendable!

Would go with:

Scznczny
Jenko Per Kos Gibbs
Flamini Arteta
Walcott Ozil Cazorla
Giroud

Subs: Wilshere, Rosicky, Ramsey, Vermaelen, Nacho, Bendtner, Fabianski.

I feel that Ramsey and Ozil should have a breather but would probably need to start at least one of them. Rosicky would be a natural sub in for Ozil if Wenger decides he needs to sit out. Have a feeling that perhaps Vermaelen might fill in for one of our centre halves, and Walcott is probably close to starting again having trained this week.

Wouldn't want to tinker too much more though with a winning line up, but it's a massive week of football and it can't be the same XI playing 3 times in 6 days.

 

[charcoalchicken]

I don't like the combo of Flamini and Arteta it has to be either one of them but not both imo.

Playing Spurs in the FA Cup

Everton played really well that half and controlled the game up until the last 5 minutes with 2 clear attempts on goal for us, hopefully Everton tire because they are working really hard to press us I can see us getting a couple this 2nd half I hope. Koscielny played excellent that 1st half.

 

[NTRabbit]

Disappointing defending from Gibbs in that goal

 

[glenferry23]

A shame that we couldn't hold that lead, especially with only ten minutes to go. Everton from all reports deserved to take something from this game.

 

[windyhill]

Spewing, bloke @ work will take this as a win.
