Another big game tonight hoping for three points knowing brighton away is not going to be easy. I like their manager think he is really good (not as much as Arteta) and will make it very tough for us. Gome on you gooners 2-4 to Us.

Mikel Arteta on if Smith Rowe is in his plans: “Yes. I look at him and what happened, in the last two seasons especially with him, what happened three seasons ago as well. ”
“Take all that. It’s the best thing that could’ve happened for him in his career if he uses it in the right way now, so don’t look back and say, ‘if, if’, no, this happened, use it. That was the best thing that could’ve happened. ”
“‘I had a great moment, I had a difficult moment, now I know what I want and how to deal with that. That’s going to make me a much better player’. You can see of a player that we have in him when he’s fit and playing at that level. ”
Great advice for anyone really.

Absolutely Eden, it's not the events that happened in our lives themselves but our thoughts and opinions about those events that cause us the most long term damage and suffering. If we continuely tell ourselves negative unhappy stories about life then we will naturally be negative unhappy people but if we let go of life's negative events quickly and move on from them completely then the future and our happiness is all to play for 👍👍👍👍.

I was so happy to see ESR start and then I wondered. How does he break through to the first team on a regular basis? Pretty difficult with Havertz and Rice always in front of him.

Are people more vocal when we loose than when we win
Live chat was a ghost town last night

Just no pleasing some.

Not sure what your driving at Mal. i have not been on live chat for the last few games but have been on here giving my views and comments, none which you will find are negative.
If you don't do live chat doesn't mean your any less of a Gooners than somebody who does.
Don't worry about other people Mal mate, enjoy the moment, whether be on or off live chat, at the game, or down the pub or in the armchair with a few tinnies.
Take care.

No worries Mal mate

I find live chat difficult because I'm always on a dodgy stream that's about 5 minutes behind! 😂.
04 Apr 2024 19:53:04
I'm away travelling and have been missing most the games. We're finally competing, can't ask for anything more than that!
04 Apr 2024 21:38:16
I read live chat pretty much every game but seldom comment, does that qualify me as a negative baddies or a positive goodie Mark mate 😀
By the way speaking of positivity, hows the Anti Martinelli Campaign going mate 😊😀😊😄.
05 Apr 2024 09:58:25
Was working late, had to give the game a miss. ESR getting plaudits from various sources after the game was superb. Wish I had watched it.
05 Apr 2024 13:04:03
I often watch games on my phone so a bit difficult to join the conversation on live chat. Perhaps it's the same for other people?
{Ed025's Note - it certainly is for me Sally..
05 Apr 2024 13:56:39
Perhaps we ought to all have to start supplying absence notes from our parents or guardians aGP certificates to explain future non attendances on live chat 😊😊😊😊.
05 Apr 2024 23:24:44
Last time I was on live chat, everbody was pissed at me, Oh wait that was the Man U chat.
06 Apr 2024 08:11:07
Davy, you and 14 should get a drink and exchange stories.
03 Apr 2024 21:37:18
Looked a bit disjointed earlier on
But Odes goal settled us down.
Not a great display but 5 changes and we still come up with the points.
Delighted for ESR for getting MOTM
COYG❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
03 Apr 2024 23:07:24
I was worried about the changes before hand Bill but alls well that's end's excellently. This is quite possibly our last chance to rest players as on paper at least all other games between now and game 38 look tougher, and of course there is that brilliant champions league QF to be enjoyed and celebrated too 😀👍👍👍.
04 Apr 2024 07:16:09
Absolutely John mate
Tuesday night is going to be quite a night at the Emirates.
03 Apr 2024 17:06:38
I'm expecting a tough game. Luton haven't got great results but to me it seems they always trouble their opponents even if they end up losing. We ourselves are coming from a huge title showdown and i don't think we'll be performing anywhere near our best level. Thankfully we have a home game. April is crazily packed so we need to keep getting results with very little preparation time, hopefully we can manage. It's the same for the other contenders of course.
03 Apr 2024 17:35:00
Defo Ice mate
Just been speaking to a mate and he is looking at 4nil plus but I think it will be a lot tighter but still 3 pts for us.
03 Apr 2024 18:19:18
Hi Ice, I actually think the players will be well pumped up for tonight's game after more than holding their own away from home against English/ European/ World Champions who they have previously struggled to compete with as equals. In my opinion the players belief in their own ability to win this seasons title will have gone up several notches after Sunday and they will be extremely aware of how bad they would feel if they allowed all their hard work go to waste now by not being 100% up for the Luton game and the other 8 games that follow it.
03 Apr 2024 18:55:17
I'm predicting 3 points as well but not expecting it to be easy. And i expect the players to turn up and give it all they've got. But the thing is, i suspect the best we can do today will be a lot worse compared to what we can normally do. Maybe it doesn't make sense but that's the feeling i've got. City away has to have been the most anticipated game of our season especially after what happened last season. It must have been draining especially mentally. So how much have we got left in the tank for Luton physically and mentally?
It's crazy but right now i feel that if we can get the win today we can win all of the remaining games as well.
03 Apr 2024 19:27:55
I understand your logic and thinking Ice I just happen to think the very opposite will happen mate. Its amazing how the legs and mind just don't feel the strain when your riding the biggest wave of your life. I liken it to be 21 years old on an 18 to 30s holiday, somehow you can easily get away with 3 or 4 hours sleep a night for a fortnight when your having the time of your life when back home anything less than 8 to 9 hours a night and your out on your feet most the day.
03 Apr 2024 19:52:47
Fuge. I've just seen the line up, huge gamble in my opinion, hope it pays off 🤔🙃🤫🫣.
03 Apr 2024 20:27:42
I get that point as well. But guessing from your name i have a bit more recent memory about being 21 and i can assure you that even if you feel limitless you still do have them :)
But so far so good. Odegaard certainly hasn't lost any of his drive and determination.
03 Apr 2024 22:22:46
Loving the image 47 of you with short spiky hair singlet vest bermudas on a bar crawl with a straw donkey for company pushing on through with eight shots of Portuguese Fire-water Medronho made from the hallucinogenic berries in Mon Chiche! I expect Sharpie and Mal were there too! Good win never in doubt rested legs particularly Rice who played twice for England, Jesus Martinelli and Saka . Right who’s with me to the Bar A Nau or Never for some Medronho shots COYG 🥴 🥴🥴.

{Ed025's Note - i did used to have a perm in the 70,s SUSSEX, but now my hair is grey and i would look like Lily Savage mate.. :)
03 Apr 2024 22:57:22
I had a perm and tash in the 70s and mullet in the 80s Ed025, now I got a head full of wonderful memories of fun filled times but extremely short on the flushing follicles front.
{Ed025's Note - sound like in the 70,s you were only a shell tracksuit short of being a proper "scouser" G62.. :) good win tonight that mate..
03 Apr 2024 23:09:29
Sussex, if there was any sort of session I’d be their.
I may not remember it but I’m sure I was their.
03 Apr 2024 23:39:35
I don`t doubt it for one minute Mal I just can`t corroborate it. For full disclosure I was full Paul Weller suede head late 70`s and 8o`s during the Terry Neill Don Howe era then full on surfer long hair in George`s era and as far as I remember a bowl cut in 70`s. Had a lotto shell suit at work late 80`s Calm down Calm down! Might be at Brighton trying to sit on my hands on Saturday COYG.

How old are you geezers? I was born mid seventies. I hadn't yet found Arsenal in the Terry Neill and Don Howe era.

01 Apr 2024 14:36:27
Ed25,
I understand you plastering all over these pages that yesterdays game was the 'most boring in history' etc.
However, how many times this season have Arsenal bored you with their play? We are the leagues top scorers and we also have the best defence of the 20 teams.
Yesterday we approached the game with the objective of not losing it. We achieved that objective and are still very much in with a chance of winning the title. Not many teams stop City from scoring against them and we have managed it twice this season. The only other team were Aston Villa.
I apologise on Arteta's behalf for all those who were bored yesterday. I couldn't care a less how we got that point though. It's not as if we approach every game in that manner.
{Ed025's Note - as i said previously Jim i have been impressed by Arsenal this season and the borefest yesterday was citys doing as well, there was a lot on the line mate and i get the cautious approach, but as a neutral im just expressing how deflating it was from a spectators view, i know you dont give a toss what people think and thats fair enough but these are 2 of the best teams in Europe for me and i cant help how i feel, good luck though even though playing Jesus was a mistake imo i think hes bloody useless..
01 Apr 2024 16:44:09
It's all about opinions, and I totally get why neutral fans were disappointed and felt let down by us not going for it yesterday, it's a bit like watching who wants to be a millionaire on TV and TV viewers all over the country urging the content who's on half a million to gamble everything for their entertainment, of course they want to know what would have happened because they themselves have absolutely nothing to lose either way, but for the contestant and their supporters there is everything to be lost as well as the jackpot to be gained by throwing caution to the wind.
Most Arsenal fans i know are over the moon happy with a draw at City, and just imagine how upset and really angry the tiny minority of Arsenal fans who aren't happy about yesterday's draw would have felt if we'd really gone for it and got stuffed 3 or 4 nil, yet again? They'd have then been calling the team and manager naive useless and been demanding change no doubt 😊
You can please some of the people some of the time, and they are definitely the ones you should worry about and concentrate on in my book 😊😊😊.
01 Apr 2024 17:09:17
Personally i didn't find the game to be boring. For me the game becomes boring when a team doesn't try or plays without a plan or if the other team is overwhelmingly superior. This game was tight and suspenseful, i had a real sense that it could go either way. So i liked the game very much and i'm reasonably happy with the result too :)
I don't think we wanted to defend that deep. We played our pressing game but City were so good at diffusing it we had to react by dropping deep. Then going forward we clearly wanted to simply bypass the press with a long ball and get the second ball. I feel like Raya's delivery was a bit subpar though and that meant we ended up surrendering possession to City a bit too often. I think those factors made the game a bit monotonous and that's probably the reason most people didn't enjoy it that much.
{Ed014's Note - I didn’t find it boring at all, we nullified them almost completely whilst making the best chances to win the game despite our lack of possession.
Arteta has been slagged off for a supposed lack of tactical nous but he’s being hitting that bollox out of the park all season!
01 Apr 2024 17:56:56
Hi Ice mate, we were heavily emotionally invested in the game and because the stakes were so high we couldn't switch off for minute, but I get the neutral point of view.
I have to say because it was against the world champions who have been consistently the best in England for some years now yesterday very much to be enjoyed and celebrated as a huge success 👍.
01 Apr 2024 18:21:08
It was not a goal fest as some expected it to be especially with the amount of goals we have recently been putting away. For me we just could not afford to loose the game a win would be a bonus. A few seasons back and we played Totenham where a draw would have been sufficient for us and keptu son course for top 4, we blew it as we went out for the win and lost complete control of the game players good injured/ suspended and we lost top 4 spot too. Important thing is we are still init and we are still lokking good for the run in. For the mutual it may have been boring but for us Arsenal fans we live to fight another day. Agree with the sentiment that I don't think Jesus should be starting I think super sub for him at minute.
{Ed025's Note - it was a good result G4E there is no doubt about it, now the hard work starts where defeat is not an option which is a hell of a lot of pressure mate..
01 Apr 2024 19:19:41
Both games against city were boring, but every city game is boring. We took 4 points - who coulda expected that?!
02 Apr 2024 01:18:42
Agree guys our teams needs us the fans more than ever now. We need to pull together and push the team even further with our support the next 8 games now need to be treated as finals every time we can not afford any flip ups. Teams are going to be upping their games up against us that much more. Tottenham already have given up hope of getting champions league and now only see putting a dent in our stride as their number 1 ambition for the season. Come on you gooners let’s get behind the team manager n club.
02 Apr 2024 08:53:50
Hi G4 I think pretty much everyone is behind the team and manager mate, as for the run in hopefully in a few weeks we might meet 1 or 2 teams who's players already have their swimming trunks and suntan lotion on .
