Morning, does anyone have a spare ticket?

Morning threadsters, surely Arsenal are the most hated premier league club nowadays ?
___________________________________________
Where on earth did you get that from? not that many neutrals hate Arsenal, in fact Arsenal have been one of the very few "top 6" teams people have admired in the past 20 years or so.

Maybe in London, but outside the 25

We're probably the most hated among our own fans right now

Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool and West Ham all ranked higher than us in "most hated" - the first two by some distance.

We have beaten them once this year so why not again? I have gone for 2-2 but it wouldn’t surprise me if we come away with 3 points.
It depends a lot on what Nuno decides to do. Go 3:5:2 and sit back first half (again) or 3:4:3 and go for it.
With everyone fit and rested with the exceptions of Boly and Bennett, either way the team pretty much picks itself.

If MGW is still not fit I would expect Jordao to replace him in a 5 man midfield.

A draw or a Wolves win
Cant see Arsenal winning this one
Even when we look like getting somewhere
the defence produce another masterpiece

Another unsatisfactory weekend for Arsenal

Wenger in ?

We're at home to have a good chance, expecting it to be dire in terms of the football played by us though

I think we have to play Traore. He has been by far our most threatening player this season.

I don't think it's that cut and dried to be fair..You are hard to beat at home for sure. But then so are Man City and look what happened there. My concern is that we underestimate Arsenal as we did with Chelsea at home, we got thumped 5-2 as a result!

That's what I would like to see too Tam. If we play with him in a 3 up front and go on the attack from the start, it could be a good result for us.

Yes the player that was ‘useless’ to many last season and UH said he was worth no more than £1 Mill

Incidentally.....what would his value be right now ?

Rugby is turgid would switch it off if it wasn’t the World Cup final

Rugby getting better

Rugby getting worse

England absolutely battered in Japan. SA reminded me of Wolves in several games this season, tight defensive turgid for two thirds of thre game, open up and seal a win or nick a point at the end.

I think today there's a chance to really start a PL game on the front foot. Go out and take the game to a team low on confidence and try to get the crowd on their backs early on. I understand fully why Nuno has sent us out to conserve our energy at times with priorities in mind, even if I haven't enjoyed it. But everyone that's fit should be fresh, we have five full days until the next game, I'd love us to go at them and get the first goal for a change.

Arsenal still have a few very dangerous world class players that would walk in to our starting line up. But they have a soft underbelly, we smashed them at molineux last season in about 20 first half minutes. Would love to see us go and try and repeat that today.

Hopefully 3-4-3 and go at them
