We need some improvement but if you try to look at things objectively (and a little on the positive side) we aren't in a bad spot. We are currently tied for 5th but only 1 point out of 4th. We have 2 tough games left (Spurs & ManU) and the rest should be Ws. It will take things going our way but both ManU & Chelsea have more tough games remaining on their schedules. On top of that we have a decent shot for EL. There are a few good teams left in the competition but when we play well we have as good a shot as any to beat those teams.

We could argue all day on the Ozil situation. He has games were he looks brilliant and others aweful. I understand being careful if/when to play him. I personally would play him a bit more often but with a short leash. Ramsey on the other hand should be playing often. He tends to play well when he does play. I'd be running his butt into the ground until he leaves.

They are also having issue with Sarri. Heard a rumor yesterday that he could be sacked.

Marca claiming that Monchi's contract at Roma (expires 6/30/2021) has a "release clause" that he can invoke this summer and he has hinted at a planned exit. It is speculated that he would then join Arsenal.

If Arsenal win tomorrow they will trail the spuds by 7 points. Spuds have chelsea, Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool left on their schedule while Arsenal just has Man U and spuds. I feel like there is a real chance of Arsenal being able to gain 7 points. Maybe just wishful thinking. Also helps that the spuds now have no shot at their EPL title.

Good news for Wangus, looks like we will be playing with a back 4 again today. Get's us one better attacker on the field. Also S'hampton have a 3-5-1-1 which seems like it will be a bit narrow. I'm hoping we come out and press early and look to disrupt S'hampton early to try to create some easy chances off of turnovers.

Good call, turnover leads to number 2

Wide open match. Arsenal burying their opportunities while Southampton have not.

ManU is having some injury trouble. Rashford is limping, Herrea subbed off with a hamstring injury and Matic out a month with a muscle injury. I don't think they have the depth to replace those three though rashford might be okay.

Add Mata subbed off after 25 minutes.

Add Lingaurd subbed off after coming on in 25.

What makes it even better is that I am pretty sure he has posted about this before on previous year's Arsenal threads for previous marathons.

Abou Diaby officially retired today. He was such an awesome player to watch when he was healthy, but after the ankle injury he was never the same.

I like how you put "the ankle injury". Like there was only one!

I'm talking about the original one against Sunderland in like 2005. Dude destroyed Diaby's ankle and that was the beginning of the injury problems.

I figured that's what you meant, just thought it was funny.

Big 10 days coming up. Need the win today against Bournemouth to give us some momentum heading into the matches against spuds and united.

hopefully manu's injury bug holds out a bit longer to give us a little bit of an advantage. with their remaining schedule (vs ours), a win would put 4th place squarely in our hands.

Jenkinson starting is a bit of a surprise. Will be interesting the shape our attack takes.

That explains that.

I think kola and ozil will get an assist today. Just feels like a good opponent for them
