Arsenal v Burnley, 15.00, Saturday 1st just do it!

Sanogo returns 🙂 Gibbs still not confirmed as available.

There's no way this should be anything other than a big win.

Klaus

What a strange club they are. Why is there a waving hand and a bumblebee on their club badge?

Klaus

They also have what appears to be a disc slot between the two lions.

JohnnyBravo

With a logo like that, I'm going to assume that The Mountain is their mascot.

And the lions have lollipops.

but it's not their real crest 😆

at least googling it I found another one:
The knight's chopped hand seems to have been removed from the ridiculously high vantage point ("talk to the hand"?), something happened to the bee (there's two of them, and something squashed them?),
and there's now a duck on top, holding a yellow fish and juggling an egg? nah, nothing strange about that.

Edit: Ah, well done BT. That's the one.

Forgot to say: y va thread! (sshhh! I'm not going to say we are wi..... this 🙂 )

Just do it means no eat? like literally "just do it"?

y va marquer

No, not a reference to food at all 🙂 more like a call to the team to just get out there and win, no feebleness, no fuss, no mucking up in defence.

Not sure what's going on with that Burnley crest either, I just googled Arsenal Burnley and that's what it threw up.

ffffeeeeeeeoooooooo

Apparently the bee represents Burnley: busy town and the hand stands for "hold to the truth"

Klaus

What about the disc slot and the lollipop-eating lions?

banduan

and why's it got a slot for a CD? edit: whoops Klaus already spotted that.

Why's that bird lifting an egg? How dood it do?

Klaus

I don't think it's an egg. I think it's one of those trendy congenital deformities. Like clubfoot.

Whoever made it was not sure either

Class opening post! If we win this, then I say we promote Y va to Dula's status of trusted game thread maker; 2 wins on the bounce is a strong argument. Think we still need to scout a game thread maker who not only makes us win, but who actually makes us win playing good football.
A Burnley team with 0 wins in 9 attempts looks on paper as a straightforward win. Best result for them so far is a goalless draw at home to what was then, late August, a shit Man U.
Prediction: 3-0 win. Welbeck brace and Alexis with his obligatory goal. May actually be 4-0 if Ramsey decides to have himself stretch the old onion bag as well.

Rex

Oh, and their horrible crest, either version really, makes me appreciate our corporate bullshit logo a whole lot more!

GaelForce

This is the third game in a row I'm missing. 🙁

Probably a good sign though, I've missed four games this season and we've won all four of them. Of the games I've actually seen, we've only won two of eleven...

yuv

Ah... so it's YOU! 😆

You should put this in the stats thread, right next to jack's.

Rex

Fuck you, Otf, you massive jinx! :angry:
