Match Thread Arsenal v Everton - Friday 23rd, Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Pejic300]

Hopefully by the time the whistle blows the ESL traitors will have been docked enough points to confirm their relegation. Super demoralised, they pull a 0-5 loss to appease their legacy fans.

I always think that Arsenal are there for the taking, and with Xhaka (the worst midfielder in the league now that Scheiderlin is gone) playing left-back, there is simply no excuse not to get at them.

Oddly have same points now, compared to 32 games last season

This season
W 13, D7, L12, scored 44, conceeded 36 = 46 points and in 9th

Last season
W 11, D13, L8, scored 47, conceeded 41 = 46 points and in 8th
------------------------
Everton are 8 points and 4 places better off now after 31 games compared to 31 games last season

This is actually a fairly good pro-Arteta argument. He took them over when they were rubbish, but he won an FA Cup anyway. They buy two players in the summer but more regress and - stunner - still rubbish.

Their transfer record in recent years is just shocking - worse than peak Woodward-being-Woodward bad.

Against that argument is the fact that there aren't a lot of signs of him developing what he does have, or figuring out how to use the pieces together.

Winning the FA Cup was pure dumb luck. It isn't time to give up on Mikel yet but giving him more on the back of that would be a mistake.

One of the shameless six rats needs to be humiliated...

 

[Terrarian]

After what they've done this week, that should be all the motivation the lads need.

Joe McBride’s dangerous cross creates an own goal from Arsenal’s Kenny Sansom and an opening goal for Everton in this FA Cup Third Round tie against Arsenal played on the 3rd January 1981 at Goodison Park.

Lose this and we probably don't finish top 10.

Lose this and we 100% don’t deserve to.

both strikers out, if we don’t go out to win this football match from the off then there will be some rather negative repercussions from fans.

 

[Death]

Kill these!

We are better than them for starters.

But kill them for what they have done.

 

[Tubey]

Can we change the thread title to add the word Scab before their name?
