[Albion] Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[scooter1]

3 games in 8 days with a growing injury/fatigue list, I’d take a point now

 

[raymondo]

Another early start in New Zealand... here's hoping it leads to a better day than last week.

Yep, must be an early start to get to London in time

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Madley? Well that is that then. Mr Fanboy

 

[Official Old Man]

Where's the 'Will you take a point' thread?
Yes.

 

[Bodian]

Feeling strangely confident about this.

 

[Auckland seagull]

Yep, must be an early start to get to London in time

If only... Hopefully a trip back next year. Then the minor issue of getting tickets...

 

[MJsGhost]

I'm just about to board a plane to Italy and the Mrs has said we're absolutely not watching the football when we get there.
Should've insisted on a seagulls fan on my Tinder profile.

That's fair enough - why force her to watch it?
Where in Italy are you? NSC is usually great for travel tips, so someone can probably suggest things for her to do while you're watching the game

 

[METALMICKY]

So how do we think Trossard will celebrate today if he scores? Will it be mildly respectful or could it be a full on 'feck you' aimed at RDZ and/or Lallana?

 

[Stat Brother]

This is gonna be proper shite.
Not even my phenomenal hair will be able to save us.

Their midfield looks strong

Predicted Arsenal line-up vs Brighton, Kieran Tierney starts

Arsenal will be eyeing a third-straight Premier League win when they entertain Brighton & Hove Albion at the Emirates Stadium this evening.

Dunky and Gross look a little odd on the match preview...have they run out of actual photos of the players so now resorting to using their representations from a video game (or is it part of some sponsorship deal or something?)

 

[dstanman]

Players should be up for this following the Everton game. Feel we will get something out of this hopefully 3 points but will be happy with one to keep us on track

 

[Eric Youngs Contact Lens]

Can’t help thinking Arsenal have played both fixtures against us at a good time, from their perspective. That said, they have a lot to lose today.. if we can keep them out , even score first, the anxiety will grow in the stadium…

You just need to find a restaurant at 5.30 that is conveniently showing the game, she doesn't need to face the screen.

I had the same issue for the Man U and Everton games. In the end I was 'allowed' to follow them on the official match thread. Mrs definitely felt vindicated after the 1-5 debacle

Heading to Worthing on an already full train - this is going to get Lionel.

I don’t understand these types of women and definitely couldn’t put up with one. I have a family function in Brighton today and mine has already said have you found bar to slip off and watch the match.

As we’ve just had a 6 day break but are about to start the run above, it would be a good game to get 3 points from. Obviously the opposition makes it difficult, so I won’t be complaining with one point.

 

[Eric the meek]

Wouldn't she notice that he wasn't paying her much attention for 90 minutes, and leaning over a bit to one side?
