17/04/2017 | Middlesbrough 1-2 Arsenal | Premier League

[Jack The Ripper]

Middlesbrough have conceded less goals than us, yup thats right. Let than sink in. I know lots of fans are thinking easy 3 points against a shitty team but don't be so sure!! I really wouldn't be surprised if we got beat again, they don't conceded many goals at home and when we played them at Emirates this season it was 0-0 and they had better chances remember...

What we're doing now ain't f***ing working and hasn't been for a long time. Change it up.
Drop Ozil because he doesn't care anymore. 3 (really 5) at the back so that maybe we'll just put enough bodies in the way to stop anything getting through. Drop Walcott, I've had enough of his shit. Impossible to tell whether he's going to be useful or utterly invisible. Would really like a better midfield, but this is the best that Wenger's left us with, so...

Martinez
Mustafi Mertesacker Gabriel
Bellerin Elneny Xhaka Monreal
Ox Welbeck Sanchez

[Nuggets]

Big fat 0-0 incoming or a 1-0 to Middlesbrough but, I really don't give a shit passed caring.

[coach8smallball]

not that it'll happen, go to a 3-5-2, start the lamp post next to alexis. gabby/mustafi/monreal in back

ox/ramsey/elneny middle......welbz/theo on wings. I know, a pipe dream.

[realtalk]

Hopefully middlesborough win this. Anything to get this guy out.Seems we have to be at critical to get anything done right at teh club. So we need o be in danger tha means losing so be it.

[ALLCAPS_]

Can't be arsed to be fair.

[EliteKiller]

We've got a squad that's immeasurably better - Boro are as good as down haven't won at home in months - all we have to do is turn up and put in 100% effort, but will we?

....and we were lucky to get away with that, so it ain't going to be as easy as some people think, I expect a 0-0 or them to pip us with a goal.

[LMAO]

We could win 5-0, draw 2-2, or lose 3-1, but I cba as long as Wenger is here.

[Tubbs]

We are so unpredictable it's so hard to call.
If Boro beat us it will be their 12th man the crowd...
I really think the Boro fans are going to give us hell and if that affects our players which let's face it, it probably will given their mental state on the pitch and lack of fight or spirit then we will deffo lose.
I just hope we don't win by 3 or 4-0 because I dread Wenger then talking about how good the team was and how we must now forget the bad run and finish on a high and oh I've signed another 2 year deal.

Thats what I am dreading.

I said we wouldn't win at Crystal Palace. Then I was given all the stats in the world and laughed at.....3-0 to Palace. 100% spot on.

Football is not played on paper. Sometimes reality transcends statistics. We are in THAT bad a run of form.

Make no mistake about it, Middlesbrough will fancy their chances against us. They need all the points they can get, and we are in the business of helping teams that need points. Teams just up their performances against us because they know we're soft as baby sh*t.

This has draw written all over it.

Acc. to Wenger, Perez and Ospina still out. Koscielny and Cech are back in training, and could be in the squad.
