Arsenal Vs Wigan: Match Thread

[Gb160]

Sooner or later lads ,things have got to change.....for a good few years now,Lady Luck has been jiggling her tits and winking at us,
From Fullop to lasagna to chelshit fluking the CL to the fact we haven't had a single penalty all season.....everything that can , invariably goes against us...
Tonight is the night that we get to bang Lady Luck....or at the very least,go home with a boner and a smelly finger.
COYS!!!!!

im going to flip out when the game is a draw going into injury time and wigan pile everyone in the box and those scum bags score from the counter

i just keep thinking thats going to happen

Same again please lads.

• Arsenal must win their last two games to guarantee Champions League qualification. However, they failed to win either of last season's corresponding fixtures against their remaining opponents - losing 2-1 at home to Wigan and drawing 0-0 with Newcastle United.

Too true, I can't believe we are the first ever Premier league team to finish 4th and not qualify for the Champions league. I would also expect that if we gain 72 points and miss out, we would be the first team to get that many points and fail to get into the top 4? Our luck has to change.

I'm not confident about Wigan's chances at all to be honest as I just think they are too likely to concede goals.

If they can get through the first 20 minutes or so without conceding then maybe they have a chance, but I can see Arsenal going at them hell for leather to start the game and getting an early goal.

My concern is the last 10 mins if scores are still level. Wigan will end up over-committing as they seek the winner and will get caught on the break.

Or vice versa. The Arse need the win too...

Martinez will be using that to steel his boys as well. All signs are good so far imo. Still feel very positive.

Will say again, it's going to be a crazy open game. The good thing is that the scum seem to waste a lot of chances. Hope curtain head is playing - he's good at that.

There will be 3 stages that will get my hopes up: 1,If Wenger attempts to put his hand in his zipped up pocket 8 times in a row. 2, he throws a water bottle to the ground. 3, he then squats by the touch line looking like he is taking a dump at the end of the game. These 3 stages will mean we are in the driving seat.

cannot see anything other than a Wigan win tonight , 1-2 or 1-3

 

[Kingellesar]

I can't see anything other than Theo I'm the worst footballer to come from Southampton Walcott scoring an annoying offside goal using his "blistering" pace and "clinical" finishing. Then Arteta making some of the worst challenges in the world proving that you can be Spanish and a really shit midfielder.

They will make easy work of Wigan but hopefully they all forget the coach on Sunday and fail to turn up at Newcastle, the only way I can see Newcastle getting anything >_<

Need a can of optimism.

Is Giroud still suspended? Is Wilshere out? If they're both missing its definitely a good thing.

Yes, and yes.

ETA: Ignore me, i'm talking utter balderdash.

 

[Kingellesar]

Giroud is serving his final match suspension but Wilshire will be fit to be on the bench.

Wilshere is back and Giroud is serving final game ban.

I would welcome Wilshere back into the squad, he's been useless as of recent months and that's been acknowledged by their fans. Would rather see him start than say Rosicky

I thought Wilshere has an ankle issue?

 

[Kingellesar]

I thought Wilshere has an ankle issue?

Having surgery at end of the season but fit enough to be in squad.

Remember this is Wenger, he ALWAYS risks Wilshire. Its the reason hes always bloody injured, never given enough recovery time.

We need Wilshire to play tbh cos it means Cazorla will be forced wide...Cazorla wide vs Cazorla middle is a no brainer.

All good in the hood then...

Let's hope you're right come 9.45

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
