Fulham v Arsenal Sunday Dec 8th 14 KO

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Must keep up our momentum and gain fucking revenge over these cunts following last season.

Nelson is injured but couldn’t play against his parent club anyway. We will be up against Leno, Iwobi and ESR though.

Iwobi in particular looks like he’s in the peak of his career.

This will be our toughest game left of 2024, after this it should be fairly straight forward for the rest of the year.

In terms of injury updates:

If Everton get anything from Liverpool the day before then we will go there with much added incentive. Either way it’s a must win.

We will definitely be up for this. Arteta didn't want to take risk on Calafiori and Gabriel even though they could have played against United, but prioritised this as this is the bigger and tougher game.

This is based on something he said, or just your speculative interpretation of his mid-week decisions? (not that you're not entitle to have speculative interpretations.)

Looked like @Clrnc was just making a joke and how United are shit. To me at least.

The last time we won at Fulham was when we put a clock in our dressing room (think it was spring 2023). Subsequent time was when we beat them 0-3 September 2020 during Covid when Auba prob played his last real good game for us (and scored a beauty). Time before that was when we beat them 1-5 under Emery in October 2018 when everyone was signing ‘we got our Arsenal back’. Great goal by Ramsey I recall.

Liverpool not playing yesterday means we can go 4 points behind then if we win today and also put Chelsea under pressure ahead of their game away v Spurs later.

3-1 Arsenal. Up the..

Think this will be a tricky game against a side high in confidence. Need an early goal or two to kill any hope.

Yes and no. It was only two weeks ago Wolves, who are shit, beat them 4-1 at the Cottage. But we must be on it as they can be dangerous, good that Nelson can’t play as he’s been one of their best players.

Eartly goal is great but we scored an early goal last time in the same fixture and we still lost. Need to be on it all game.

They're basically a team built from players not considered good enough to get minutes for us.

GooneriC

They always turn up against us , we need to be on it from the start and not make stupid mistakes

Clrnc

No Gabriel or Calafiori

Calafoiri is as useful as Tomi ffs

Zinchenko even worse. First start in ages and then misses the next game completely. Not even in the squad.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Big Willie fucking joke. We need to sort these injury prone players out once and for all in the summer man.
