Newcastle v Arsenal May 7th 1630 PM GMT KO

goon

Need to win here to keep clutching at those title straws, but I’d love to win just to put a bit of respect on the name.

Will be interesting to see how we cope with Newcastles energy and aggression. It’s something we struggle with. Need use it against them on the ball and match it off the ball.

FEBravo

yep we were quite sloppy at first against Chelsea, but they were so dire they would just give the ball straight back. will need to be sharper.

HomeSteak

Meaningless game, will get a draw max.

FEBravo

A draw here guarantees us second. Get in!

Massive game for us, will be a real test of how far we have come. Last season we crumbled but we need to put this right this time round, need to actually show up and I think for us we need to do better in big games up North.

Good point. When was the last time we won in the north? Leeds away? Not counting midlands

Don Pacifico

The Midlands is very much not the North...I think people from both regions would take issue on being lumped together. 😉

Yep, that’s why I mentioned not counting Midlands as technically anything north of Watford is considered as the ‘north’

😂

I take it all your friends are from London then.

USArsenal

Not sure that Gabriel will be fit for this match. If not, then the chances of winning decrease by quite a bit.

USArsenal Bobby Holding’s last dance

Qwiss

Gonna miss this because of family commitments and TBH its sort of a relief. I don't see us winning this, especially not if Gabriel is out.

Big Willie

Reckon we'll batter them. 4-1.

USArsenal

lorddulaarsenal Yeah, could be. And Willie, i wish. Don't think it will be anything close to that though. 🙁

Panda

Newcastle will win this easily unfortunately. Don't think we have enough about us atm to win this.

Big Willie

You lot give up so easily man. What do we have to fear about Newcastle? We're above them in the table for a reason. Let them worry about how they're gonna stop us.

promising word on Gabriel’s fitness.

Interested to see Isak up against White/Kiwior. Having a good PL debut season and was my first preference for us in the summer.

Its all about pride and future power positioning; plenty at stake to me on top of the outside chance on the title.

Do we play Jorginho or Partey? Big decision

I would play the former

lorddulaarsenal

I’d go Jorginho. Really like the way he knits things together. Our attack seems to go up a notch when he’s on the pitch
