Arsenal (A) 13/12 Build Up & Match Thread

[Jinky]

This one's going to be a cricket score isn't it?

RE presser. Bellegarde hamstring injury - out for 6 weeks ish. Munetsi calf injury - out for similar, 6 weeks. Ordinarily I'd shrug my shoulders but Bellegarde has actually been one of our best players in recent weeks. Depth at CM now essentially non-existent.

Asked about what we need to do tomorrow v Arsenal and Rob said "we need to work hard and sprint".

I've turned it off now.

Logically, this should be a a new record defeat for Wolves. It’s entirely in the gift of Arsenal how bad they want to make it.

Let’s not sprint back to the restart.

I think (hope) that Arsenal will go 2 or 3 up and then relax and conserve energy rather than go for our throats.

We are only 20/1

A Burley(?) 5-5

Wasn't it Craig Levein?

So when Andre gets his inevitable 5th yellow card we have to play Krejci in midfield. After that with Bellegarde and Munetsi out for six weeks who have we got? It’s not like this shitfest wasn’t predicted long before the end of the transfer window but we chose to accumulate inept wing backs instead.

They’d be mad not to take an opportunity to boost their goal difference, especially as they don’t have a midweek game.

Respect to those travelling, but otherwise you'd surely have to be a serious masochist to watch this?

London on a Saturday in the run up to Christmas isn’t exactly top of my list at the best of times, before throwing in a 8pm kick off. Will try to make the best of it. Any pub recommendations

Not sure whether to watch this or the last 3 episodes of Mr Mercedes, or the darts. Might end up doing a bit of flicking, see how many they have put past us.

I don’t usually have vivid dreams, but I had a nightmare about todays game last night.

I was attending the match (although seemed to be a 3pm kickoff & was by myself for some reason) and Arsenal just didn’t stop scoring. They didn’t stop. They scored and scored again and our players just weren’t moving. I couldn’t recognise our own players either - they were like random people. Might have been 10 goals in the opening 5 minutes or something crazy.

Rob Edwards was celebrating us conceding for some reason too … bizarre …

I went to leave the stands, but couldn’t find the exit. There were no exits, only stairs. I kept walking down to find one, but there weren’t any. It was terrifying.

Guys … I’m worried for this one

Arsenal fan here,

Just preparing a coffee and some lunch before heading down to the game later

I always study my opponents and lads, you're in for trouble today.

I've had a bet on us to score 6+ goals (Over 5.5)

Your team has no communication, defence is all over the place, heads drop way too easily, there's no structure to your attack or any movement in the wide areas, your players don't know what their next ball is or where to run.

If you're planning on going to the game I'd suggest scrapping it.

Cold, wet, late Saturday night at the Emirates, a sobering experience.

Think Gyokeres does well at Championship level too, you'll be a championship side next year so he'll feast 2-3 goals today.

Thanks for that. We weren’t aware that we’re shit.

Doherty hates this. Claims it's discrimination against those who only amble on.
