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. 😉

Don Pacifico

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

Don Pacifico

😂

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.

KingslandBarge

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

Burnwinter

Would mean a lot to pull a win out here. They're getting a bit of hype but they're not that good just yet.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

I'm completely dreading this. Whole league is licking its lips and expecting us to be embarrassed again. Why do they have this newfound aura FFS.

Burnwinter

Because they hired or integrated a good complement of dynamic, athletic players. Guimarães could have been ours and we'd probable be winning the league just now, yada yada.

But despite all that they're not that good just yet, the gap to us this season is as far as the ground they've covered since PIF bought them with all of its blood-and-oil soaked riyals.
