This had me in stitches.

After the second goal regarding Viera: "I can't even cuss you, I can't even cuss him.....VIERA YOU'RE A BASTARD!"

Arsenal's performance had me in stitches, but I feel sorry for that guy...he has issues (far beyond supporting a shit club).

Without Partey I can see Xhaka getting a red card since he will have to do even more dirty work, hopefully Bissouma nutmegs him couple of times.

There are kids in there too. That’s terrible language for in front of them. Sorry but first time I’ve heard kid in background.

I had a bet on Palace to win last night.
Paddy Power taking the piss out of the gooners as well.
I did NOT cash out, PADDY paid out after 30 minutes of the game

Don't think Leicester is at all.

They have been poor this season, Fofana is back but it's actually the game I am most confident about.

Brentford away will certainly be tricky though. So will Villa

LC thier form is picking up of late.

Said it before they were beating a lot of teams by the odd goal. They also played a lot of teams in there worse moment covid/injuries. If you let them play all their btec City football stuff they are quite good. But hustle them physically they don’t like it. Unfortunately Brighton home is probably perfect game for them but then have a bit of a nightmare week.

Southampton A
Chelsea A
United H

Brighton are playing badly but their record against Arsenal isn’t bad at all.

The thing is, people like Neville complain about the abuse footballers and those in the media get and then puts out a tweet like that. It’s just asking for trouble and he’s only doing it for attention and to bait gooners. He can’t have it both ways.

Lets hope we have many more weekends as this one. Suddenly im both optimistic and pessimistic in equal messures.

 

[Timbo Tottenham]

A serious point- we mustn't get ahead of ourselves. Tonight was a great result for us. We need to keep it together and keep improving. Lets just focus on the next match. COYS

I think an out of form Brighton this weekend are the ideal opponent for Arsenal. Brighton won’t sit deep and when they lose the ball there will be space for Odegaard, ESR and Saka to exploit. If Brighton got the first goal then the pressure might tell but I’d be surprised if they give Arsenal many problems.

Lol, just seen the score from last night.

I was led to believe this all conquering, young & well drilled Arseanal were going to walk away from us & we had no hope of catching them.

Chill.

I think their bad form has to end at some point and under Potter, they've generally been doing well against Arsenal. Brighton are quite solid defensively and could probably grind out a draw or even hit them on the counter for the win.

Tierney & Partey are injured, Soares and Tavares are extremely low on confidence (the latter have been subbed twice in a row at HT) so they'll probably have to play Xhaka at LB.

Thanks. To summarise since Brighton got promoted to the PL, against Arsenal they have W3 D3 and L3. Basically in 2 out of 3 games they have taken points off Arsenal.

Here's hoping for a repeat of this...

I agree that their poor run has to end, but grinding out a draw and playing on the counter isn’t how Brighton set up against anyone. They control possession but lack an end product, which will suit Arsenal’s attacking players. However without Partey I can see them struggling to win the ball high up the pitch and their players getting frustrated, but only if they’re still chasing a goal late on.

True, they won't do a Burnley and sit back but they are defensively solid and not nearly as naive anymore as they used to be IMO. Doesn't Brighton also press high and intensely just like Palace did this game which is one of the key reasons as to why they were played off the park yesterday?
Without Partey I think Arsenal might struggle in the middle of the park both winning the ball (especially if they move Ödegaard to CM) and playing out of the press.

The state of this clown!. Don’t know what or who he has been scrapping with (two black eyes) but apparently Arsenals result was all due to the loan system (in particular Gallagher).
As soon as one of these idiots departs/goes to jail etc it’s not long before they are backfilled.

and that’s all we need. A draw in that game is almost as bad as a defeat for them in that game. Even then if we lose to Villa, it will be annoying but it won’t be the end of the world. Basically, come on Brighton!
