goon

I always take playing over watching unless it's a huge game. The last time I chose to watch was our season opener against Brentford when they got promoted...

QuincyAbeyie

goon I'm watching over playing today. If it wasn't snowing I'd probably choose differently though.

IBL

goon I'm off now to play an 11 aside flood-lit match, will watch the game later. I'd always take playing first also unless it was a huge crucial game.

QuincyAbeyie Turned out to be an okay decision, didn't it?

Clrnc

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert People in asia hardly have this choice since our matches in UCL is 4am and league matches are generally after 10pm lol

Big Willie

Aside from the odd special occassion, there is very little I would skip our games for. Even at our absolute worst under Arteta I'd watch every game to the point where I'd be questioning my own sanity at why I was continuously putting myself through boring games which were actively making me feel sleepy. Not gonna lie there were a few occasions I actually did fall asleep heh. 1 or 2 days go by and I'm there counting the days to our next game as if I'd forgotten my previous inner conversation.

Clrnc

Big Willie In between 03 to 06 I literally would just be waiting and counting down every single day just to watch our next match. I simply can't wait for the next one and sometimes when we lose I also have zero interests in working the next few days. Terrible refereeing decisions gets me really angry.

Lost that feeling abit in 06-07, got it back in 07-09 then it kept going downhill (had a mini revival in the first part of 13-14) till the point when Arteta took over and made losing such a norm (till start of last season) I couldn't care if we win or lose as I subconsciously expected us to lose anyway.

Oh yeah and the last decade under Wenger I went into every big match expecting us to get thrashed and we mostly did. The happiest moment in champions league other than the times we won was when we finally avoided all the big teams and drew Monaco. Was delighted but alas...

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert play, you'll eventually get injured and not be able to play anymore. You'll always be able to sit and watch.

100%.

Sevilla 1 up, if they win I think we're through. Would Arteta change the line up in that case?

KingslandBarge

Qwiss interesting ramifications. Guess he has to turn in his line up in a half-hour, not that I understand it's impossible to make a change after that if desired.
I do welcome 1 rotation in the front line, just to give it a different look. Nelson, Nketiah or Trossard.

USArsenal

Qwiss No, we still want to guarantee top spot. If Sevilla wins, and we win (well, just if we win), its a guarantee.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert record the match

lorddulaarsenal I refuse to give Sky Sports a dime so I stream live or watch full replays via Reddit Football Highlights.

(Really I just ain't paying the £40 quid a month or whatever it is.)

Qwiss

USArsenal pretty sure if Seville win we just need a draw. And they're 2 up now. Hopefully means we can rest key players early.

QuincyAbeyie

Qwiss 2-1 with a red for Sevilla now...

KingslandBarge

USArsenal

QuincyAbeyie gonna get tight for Sevilla here. Can they hold on? They need to win to have any chance to stay in

USArsenal

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand its 2-2 now

Qwiss

Seville afraid they might not get the chance to win the Europa

GooneriC

2-3 now. We have to win to take top spot
