Another one bites the dust

[bigblue]

Arsenal's schedule for February and March:

February: Liverpool (a), Man Utd (h), Bayern (h)
March: Bayern (a), Tottenham (a), Chelsea (a), Man City (h)

Unless a miracle happens, out of the CL and dropping serious points in the league. After all the media love-fest and arse fans delusions of greatness; it just falls apart like every year...

[City64]

Fuck em !

[Hutch's Shoulder]

Wow some schedule. Lucky for them they have an easy game against the rags in the middle of it.

[ashton287]

Our game against Liverpool will decide if its us or Liverpool on top come January. By time these fixtures come around they will be fighting it out with Chelsea for third and I'm expecting a massive run of good fortune/penalties/sending offs and offside goals being allowed with the scum and them joining that fight aswell because there is no way the league will allow them to finish outside the CL slots.

[bigblue]

Oh, and they also play Everton one week after us. So that makes it:

Feb 8 Liverpool A
Feb 13 scum H
Feb 19 Bayern H
Mar 12 Bayern A
Mar 15 Totenham A
Mar 22 Chelsea A
Mar 29 Manchester City H
Apr 5 Everton A

haha

Will their fans blame the refs after all these games like they are doing after getting dominated by us?

[Tim777]

Can't wait for my schadenfreude to unfold, it's a matter of when not if. I detest them almost as much as I do the rags. It would be most gratifying if they end up fifth after dominating the top for almost half the season, the cocky little bastards.

[sheblue]

Lol by the time we get to them they will be in bits. Title dreams gone up in smoke.

[Lee_R]

To be fair.. theyve had it easy so far

Shush! Ted will think he's bloody Nostradamus ;-)

Jack Wilshere will have to use more fingers.

[kinkylola]

fuck me that's some run of games. Spuds is the only respite on that list, but you can never judge a derby, and now that AVB is gone they might actually use an effective system.

they'll need to be perfect up until then to come out of that run with any kind of title challenge in tact.

And the spurs game is a local derby away 3 days after playing away in Munich. It's like the schedule planners set out to break arsenal as much as possible.

Now Walcott is out for at least 6 months...

Misses the rest of the season and probably the world cup. Feel very sorry for him, since he's been in every England WC squad since he was 17 and never played a single game. But it puts a massive dent is arsenal's title hopes

[mr_nool]

Big set back for both Arsenal and England. Arse really need to get a striker in this January, since Walcott could have covered in that position if need be. Now they only have Giroud and Bendtner.

[london blue 2]

I wouldn't describe the loss of theo as a massive dent.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

More interested in our games and we have as tough a finish from here as it comes.

[bigblue]

I wouldn't describe the loss of theo as a massive dent.

He was their top scorer last season, 3rd best scorer so far this season, and 4th most assists this season. Plus, look at their current injuries (admittedly some of them are due back very soon):

Nicklas Bendtner Ankle
Olivier Giroud Illness
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Knee
Aaron Ramsey Thigh
Yaya Sanogo Back
Abou Diaby Knee

Still only have giroud and bentner as their only strikers and ramsey has gone off the boil recently. I'd most definitely call it a massive dent.

[Bridge'srightfoot]

Feel very very sorry for him. He's really improved in the last couple of years and was looking very good since coming back from injury. He'll be gutted about missing the World Cup, really feel for him.

I feel nothing for him.

Absolutely nothing.

He scored against us !
