0-1 Gunners

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Mar 06, 2022 2:13 pm

1-1 didn't need that.

Good goal, though.

That equaliser was well and truly out of the blue.

Come on Arsenal, Watford well in this game.

Arsenal back in front

Arsenal goal betters the Watford goal. Lovely play.

Get in !

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Mar 06, 2022 2:32 pm

It’s an outstanding goal once they’ve got possession from Watford.

Can't see it staying at 2-1, both teams look capable of scoring every time they attack.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Mar 06, 2022 2:33 pm

That's well finished.

Game of good goals so far

Arteta slowly moulding Arsenal into top 4 contenders again with a young side and playing superb football.

Another good goal

3 from 4 going down and Watford are one of them so guess we have to cling on to hoping they lose.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Mar 06, 2022 3:12 pm

Another cracking finish.
Hopefully, that's Watford out of this game.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Mar 06, 2022 3:14 pm

The goals are outstanding but surprised nothing is said about Arteta going down the touchline to act as ball boy.

Norwich are finished for me. Between us and Leeds I think.

Don't count Everton out of it.
Things can change by the game.

Yep. It's 3 from Burnley, Norwich, Leeds, Watford.

The thing is - I can't see Leeds going down.

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sun Mar 06, 2022 3:16 pm

Think Everton will be fine, but stranger things have happened. Just hope Arsenal don't muck this up. Well on top and feel they'll get another at this rate.

To be honest for me it's not if we go down, it's what we do next season to get back up. We haven't done enough to deserve to stay up, so I'm wondering who we keep, who goes etc.

We've never called Arsenal or their fans anything other then the best of the best on The Bee Hole End.

Not Brentford? They’ve got a pretty tough run of fixtures after our game which makes a win for us even more important. Win and we go 3 points behind them with 2 games in hand.

Brentford stay up if they avoid defeat against us. Which I think they will, so not counting them.

Quite right. They beat us and they stay up. Big game.

I would say that Brentford getting 3 points would be better for their survival prospects

Dennis has had some chances and missed them.
Is he an overrated striker ?

Seen as though he’s in the top 5 in the league for goal contributions this season for a poor relegation fodder team I’d say no he’s not

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sun Mar 06, 2022 3:44 pm

2-3 hmmm

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Mar 06, 2022 3:44 pm

Let’s get that clock moving

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sun Mar 06, 2022 3:45 pm

Probably 7 mins left inc. added time. Watford's next 3 fixtures are away so a defeat here is serious for them. Come on Arsenal...

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Mar 06, 2022 3:47 pm

Nervy ending

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sun Mar 06, 2022 3:48 pm

5 mins added!

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sun Mar 06, 2022 3:54 pm

Finished 2-3, good result for us.

What happened to the 6 second rule with keepers having the ball? Throughout added time Ramsdale had the ball for 10+ seconds each time he had it.

Roy Hodgson was looking sideways at Arteta at the end.....as if to say what a bell-end!
And he's right!

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Mar 06, 2022 6:12 pm

Well at least Leeds, Norwich & Watford failed to pick up points this weekend, so our defeat to Chelsea wasn't as damaging as we might have feared,

It's looking increasingly grim for Norwich & Watford, so we just have to finish above one other, who is the big question, I've a feeling Everton will have enough to survive, so for me it's between us, Brentford & Leeds.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Mon Mar 07, 2022 9:02 pm

I would go as far as Brentford.

I might have to agree with you, but only if we win on Saturday, 3 points from our trip to London, and the cat really would be amongst the pigeons.

Everton getting a 1st half tonking has certainly given me renewed hope, and their away record is the worst in the PL, just 6 points gained on their travels, they've been pretty solid at Goodison as a rule, but with such dreadful form on the road it doesn't half pile the pressure on their home games.
