Sunbury Fox Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 Have got one point from our last 16 visits to Arsenal and not beaten them in 20 games home and away. This is going to be extremely tough. But we have broken so many hoodoos this season so who's to say we can't do it again? Guess it'll be the same team and approach as yesterday. Hopefully they'll play a high line with Mertasacker back in defence.
foxfanazer Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 So long as we approach it in our usual positive manner I don't worry about the result too much. Not many thought we'd get more than 3 points from Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal and we already have 6 from the first 2. Would be terrific if we could get something but I don't see it as too damaging if we lose
Bluetintedspecs Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 Same as yesterday team wise and ethos, we have a FREE pop at the Arse now and all the pressure is on them AGAIN ala City yesterday. They have to come at us as they're at home and they NEED to beat us, that plays right into our hands, chaaaaaaaaaarge COYB
ARM1968 Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 Flamini just said they've got to win next week. The pressure on them will be immense. I imagine they will put up more resistance than Man Ciry did. However on our current form we might come away with something, which would be awesome.
car1os Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 They're under more pressure than us - they expect to be challenging for the title whilst we're enjoying the ride. Reckon it'll be a draw though, 1-1

TJB-fox Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 Free pass. Win, top. Draw, top. Lose, top. All the pressure on big boy Arsenal
dedlock Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 Our defence has improved enormously since September. There is little prospect of the Gooners getting the space and freedom the enjoyed at the KP. They do have world class players in Ozil and Sanchez but will we allow them the space? Mertesacker was on the bench today.Wenger will probably go with Koschielny and Gabriel next weekend but will they have the legs for Vardy or the wit and guile to counter Mahrez with Shinji mopping up the ricochets?
I blame Wellens Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 Just got myself a ticket in with the Arsenal fans. Really don't know how I am going to contain myself if we score.
Guest Sharpe's Fox Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 These are perennial bottlers, they don't have the mental strength to win an egg-and-spoon race. I have no doubt we will get a result here.
Christoph Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 Can't see us shipping the amount of goals we did last time but csn see arsenal doing the business and holding on to a 1-0 win
fuchsntf Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 ARSENAL........................,,....................................LEICESTER We gotta win we must win........verses..........oh well......ok we'll give it ago, see what happens .
Master Fox Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 Why is it a 12:00 kick off? Makes absolutely no sense. I hate early kick offs.
sylofox Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 Why is it a 12:00 kick off? Makes absolutely no sense. I hate early kick offs. Why is it not Saturday 3pm. Cos sky say so.
fuchsntf Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 Why is it a 12:00 kick off? Makes absolutely no sense. I hate early kick offs. Afters...Get down to the pub, for a good but burnt sunday roast and yorkshire pudding.
sylofox Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 I'll settle for a 1-1 I would have to until 1d1ck arrived now I'll be pissed if we don't rip em a new one.
jammie82uk Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 Wenger: Leicester clash is must-win for Arsenal Arsene Wenger says only a win will do when Arsenal take on Premier League title rivals Leicester City next week. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger acknowledged that next Sunday's clash at home to Premier League leaders Leicester City is a "must-win" for his title-chasing team. The Gunners won for the first time in five league matches by beating AFC Bournemouth 2-0 on Sunday thanks to first-half goals from Mesut Ozil and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. That result put Arsenal above Manchester City and into third in the Premier League, but they still trail Leicester by five points. Wenger knows the importance of the game as part of a crucial weekend that will also see second-placed Tottenham take on title rivals City. "It is another must-win game," Wenger told Sky Sports. "We play at home, we will have our fans behind us and of course we are playing now against one of the favourites for the Premier League. "We of course look at their strong points to make a strong defensive performance against them. We have to prepare now." When asked who should be considered favourites to win the match, Wenger replied: "Favourites do not have great meaning. "The only thing you can say is it is a big game, a very important one for the Premiership as well. It is a very big weekend for the Premiership because of the big games next week so let's prepare and win it. "Leicester have made a big impression in the last week after their results. They suddenly become the favourite in the Premier League and it makes our game big."
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 Come on Leicester!!!!!!!!! We can do this Up the Foxes!!!!!!

He's also building the pressure on his team. Excellent. We genuinely go there with no expectation, no fear and with the freedom we have enjoyed all season. Can't wait!!!
Weller in Tights Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 I am so excited about this game. I love football and love Leicester City but I have actually got other interests in my life. However, at the moment I am just so focussed on Leicester, that I am in a daze between games. I am continually calculating what results would be good from other teams fixtures. I think of worst case scenarios then best case, then worst case again then best case.... And on and on. I am just so happy. Come on Leicester make a big 55year old kid very happy, keep it up.
