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

[Han Solo]

The whole "looking forward to seeing Veltman vs Trossard" is a dangerous one... Angry Trossard is not easy to cope with.

Hope Wieffer is not going to become our new sick note player.

Bit late for that….

As good as it gets watching Albion in New Zealand, with an 11.30pm kick off. Few beers and then bed about 2am, all ready to be spoiled on Father's Day here tomorrow. If Carlsberg made weekends...

I don't give us any hope today, just hoping we can keep the score down.

 

[The Fits]

The day that Baleba really announces himself a la Caicedo?

scary as hinshelwood vs saka is, there’s absolutely nothing to be gained by not supporting the lad and getting behind him. to be honest the aspect i’m most worried about is him being left on his own. as brilliant as mitoma is, i’ve always thought he’s crap defensively and half the time doesn’t bother tracking back (which is absolutely fine as we know how good he is going forward)

but we never know, saka could have an off day. it’s not as if FH has any choice but to play him there anyway. complete and utter pisstake how several new players have ended up injured, think swansman/han solo was right in as much that it may take a while before we actually see tangible benefits from the new medical team. all i can say about today is, although we can still absolutely play on the front foot, we really need to be careful about not getting so out of position, like against united. we need to be able to pack our penalty area with as many bodies as possible at a moment’s notice and give JH all the help we can

Bit early to conclude that. Obviously fair enough with O'Reilly as that nice Crawley bloke barely touched him and he made a meal of it!

A central midfield of Milner and Baleba!! We are already missing WBG!

 

[The Optimist]

Come on Jack, shove all these negatives back down so many throats.

A Football Genius type display against Barnes at Liverpool coming up (one for the oldies on here!)

I didn’t realise that I was an oldie until now!

 

[zefarelly]

As long as Milner nobbles Oedegard early doors we'll be ok.

 

[London Irish]

Sweepstake for Baleba yellow? I’ll go for 18 mins

 

[Littlemo]

Had a dream before waking up today that Brighton beat Arsenal 2.0. Gotta have a pound on Betfair for that score. Thank me later lol

I actually did put a £1 on after reading this.

“I can’t believe Mitoma is still at Brighton”
He’s off

 

[RandyWanger]

TNT are more supportive of arsenal than their fans tv

 

[Seagull58]

It's time for Baleba to shine.

 

[RandyWanger]

Arsenal have made a perfect start 6 from 6 Brighton have had a good start
