I just use Firefox on Windows, Install UBlock Origin. Turn off scripts = Paywall vanishes. They are such losers because they allow Google Bots to roam freely but they block regular 'people' so a script blocker or "User Agent Switcher" can also defeat these silly paywalls most times. I don't agree with this tactic as it is lame and biased. It allows Google to view their pages but not a person. It is just used for clickbaiting people Imo. Changing the User Agent to Google bot means most will allow you thru also.

I'm extremely nervous about this weekend. Sports gamblers will tell you, its very difficult to beat a very good time 3 straight times. Very low percentage of winning. That's my concern. Counting the Charity Shield, we've beaten City twice and we didn't go their grounds for any of the victories. It's going to be tough obviously but how tough? They are going to play this like a cup final. They must win. A draw isn't good enough for Pep. That's going to be either very bad for us or play into our hands. Can we withstand the onslaught? We have the best defense in the league so there is a good chance we can counter effectively. 1 goal is not going to be enough to win this one away. Home, yes. Away? No unless its a 0-0 game and we score late somehow.

You could argue that if we're winning those games then the momentum of just playing games will suit us better than the 2 week rest Spurs have.....but Spurs will be loving that they have 2 weeks to prepare for us and we'll have 4 days to prepare for them

Its partially why I don't see us winning the title unless the other two crash. First, we don't have the depth for those fixtures every few days. Secondly, those games aren't going to be 5-0 jog around the park. We'll likely be working hard all 90 plus minutes. Two games with that kind of physical and mental pressure and we're too tired to give the same effort for the 3rd. If we get through it, it may come close to surpassing the runs in '98 and '02 in the spring. Maybe.

A draw would be a great result obviously but one feels not enough. If we're full strength we should be aiming to win and I'm sure that would be Arteta's mindset. Let's hope the reported injuries to Gabriel and Saka aren't anything major and Martinelli is back Same here for a draw, but of course, obviously prefer a win. Would take a 2-1 result. Goes both ways though for both sides. Hopefully the injuries are nothing debilitating and players are fresh.

Just hope some of our players don't get reinjured, but that's the unfortunate luck of the draw if it happens. Arteta needs to apply rotation obviously. Especially with the Bayern CL match wedged in.

Arsenal have leapt to the front of the queue in the race to sign Martin Zubimendi this summer after the cost of the deal scared off their biggest competitors for the Real Sociedad star’s signature. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/other/a ... b88e&ei=23 Great news, I think our manager has found the missing link

Just seen England have a goal chalked off for VAR. It made me wonder, has there been a ‘goal’ Arsenal have conceded this year, that was clearly celebrated and not really disputed but was then cancelled by VAR to give us Arsenal fans that wonderful moment of relief? Typing this I’ve just realised the biggest one was the Man U goal at The Emirates!

I wondered about going to the BM game in Munich but it's just too difficult to arrange things. Looking on the website, the number of away credits you'd need to purchase tickets is now down to 5 and yet there seem to be plenty of seats available in all the away areas. We got 3,799 tickets but at the moment, it doesn't look as though we're going to sell our allocation. That's really unusual. I suppose the Club could open the sale up to any member regardless of away credits, but I don't think they've ever had to do that for a big game like this.

Sky sports have done a piece where they question the injuries Arsenal players had in the international break, Saka being the main one, and their legitimacy ahead of the City game. No mention of City having 8 players they either withdrew from international games through injury or came of early in games due to injury. Ederson, Dias, Bernardo, stones, Walker, de Bruyne, haaland and Akanji. Let’s see how many of those make the squad for Sunday.

City's first half record against the top 5 this season is scored 4 conceded 1. City's second half record against the top 5 this season is scored 1 conceded 6. When we beat City twice this season (albeit one on penalties) we played more conservatively, made sure we didn't give anything to them. On previous occasions we've tried to press them and gone a bit toe to toe and got caught out by either their direct play or a tactical tweak from Pep which Arteta may have tried to over think. A draw is still a good result as it keeps us in it. The tactic has to be to make this a game is few chances, we really need Martinelli to be fit as I think the longer balls, using Havertz's hold up play and Martinelli's pace will be key. See how much space Man U got on the break in the first half at The Etihad

I have two American friends are Chelsea supporters. I hear Chelsea related stuff as a result. They are looking at a potential massive financial problem as we all know. Some think their American owners won't spend the money to keep them competitive. Meaning challenging for the title. Poch has mixed reviews with them. I don't know enough but some online pundits and one of supporter friends thinks this all could be the end of Chelsea as a competitive club for titles. Cups are all they will be able to muster. They have to sell, what, 100m worth of players by mid summer? I recall before Roman took over there were stories they were on the verge of receivership. I for one won't mourn if they implode.

Of the serious injury worries, I think Walker would be the one City would really miss. But I'm far more concerned with our possible absentees (the reported injuries to Gabriel and Saka, and particularly whether Martinelli is fit--these all seem to be lingering doubts). Any of those would be a massive miss for us. So I'd be content if City's injuries turn out to be nothing, so long as ours do too!

More likely it would be that Declan Rice has fully recovered from his hard Tuesday night partying arranged by Harry Styles and James Corden. No doubt Rice will be up for the City match on Sunday.

So, the '74-'75 season. Man Utd were relegated. We were 16th, 4 points from the drop. Tottenham one point from the drop. Chelsea get relegated. Crazy season it appears. I recall a discussion several years ago about how likely we were to getting relegated. Some said some they thought we might and some say they weren't in too much doubt. https://www.englishfootballleaguetables ... 75.html#d1

What's happened to Newcastle? Prior to the season I thought they were in a good position for 3rd. They are still a tough team to beat, but they have been beaten often this season. It's not an easy win by any means. Next to Liverpool I thought our convincing win over them was a very good statement. Now its not looking as big. West Ham are a decent side but they shouldn't have been down 3-1...at home! Very tough place to get a point last season. Anyway, I suspect they'll get it right. They 2 big things going for them, a good manager and loads of money.

Poor refereeing for Burnley to be down to 10 men. Shocking. That's the sort of challenge teams seem to be allowed to do against us, without it even being called a foul.

" photo of the Police officers as they walk over the fans shoulders to take their position at the back during the 1927 FA Cup final between Cardiff and Arsenal at Wembley. Attendance: 91,206."

I thought I read somewhere that Cardiff was the first non English side to win the cup in this game. Not sure if true but I think I recall reading that.

Actually having an internal debate with myself between watching the 2nd half of Liverpool vs Brighton or the women's FA cup final between the Arsenal women vs Chelsea women. It will depend on the Liverpool scoreline probably. If Liverpool are ahead I'll assume they'll win.

For some reason, Man Utd plays us tough, in good times and bad for them. We have outplayed them and dominated them but I can't recall where we've utterly destroyed them. I'm not counting the league cup win at home early 00s. Ferguson himself said he thought we'd field a weak squad. They've dealt us blows that a casual observer not knowledgeable about the EPL would think we are a relegation side (8-2). They have gotten murdered by Liverpool. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is we will have an extremely tough time to get a win there. Others outplaying them there doesn't equate to us doing the same.

If we have no injuries, I presume Martinelli for Trossard will be the only change. If Martinelli is still injured, I would start with Jesus instead of Trossard on the Left. We need the press and transitions to be absolutely spot on today.
