Where: Craven Cottage When: Sunday, October 7th, 7:00am EST TV: NBCSN Onwards and upwards I say. That’s eight wins on the trot—our best streak in three years I think. So let’s keep rolling with project 24. I’m glad to see Fulham back in the prem, and they have a few good signings it looks like so no cake walk. I suspect we may see miki with a start since he didn’t travel. But neither did Ramsey so I have no idea really. Defensively we need to be better. If we give mitrovic the chances we gave Watford and Everton we will definitely concede a couple in this one. On the flip side we’ve scored 2+ goals in every match this season except city.
I'll be up early for this one. Excited to see the boys play, it feels like the Everton game was months ago!
Ream what a name, HA!!! Cakewalk for The Gunners, Auba, Laca, Mhki and Ozil will pick them apart!!! Looks like for us here in the Left Coast it's a 4:00 am PDT start, with Premier league LIVE on at 3:30 am (12:30 am HST for our buddy Roger "Goonermaui" himself), so I'd better hit the sheets early Saturday night so I can be up to prepare my matchday breakfast, 6 eggs, surrounded by 5 brats,something like this, in which I haven't done since our tilt away to United a couple of years ago.: ......and it looks like according to Arsenal.com in "The Brief" https://www.arsenal.com/news/fulham-v-arsenal-brief that we will be wearing our away Navy/Red kits for this match, if to any recollection the last time we wore them was in Stockholm, Sweden on a preseason friendly match against Lazio (we won 2-0 thanks to goals by Reiss Nelson and Auba) so I predict it will be close but nevertheless another notch in the ongoing winning streak we have going, BOTTOM LINE: Unai's Red Army will CONTINUE TO MARCH ON!!! COYF'n'G!!!
U-NAI'S RED AR-MY!!! U-NAI'S RED AR-MY!!! U-NAI'S RED AR-MY!!! U-NAI'S RED AR-MY!!! U-NAI'S RED AR-MY!!! U-NAI'S RED AR-MY!!! U-NAI'S RED AR-MY!!! U-NAI'S RED AR-MY!!! (repeat as needed, so The Gunners can hear you LOUD AND PROUD!!!) You can HEAR this chant often during this clip. I want to be a recruit!!! COYF'n'G!!!
Up at 3: 45 am watching Premier League LIVE on NBCSN and yes, I am doing up 6 eggs and the 5 surrounding brats, and yes, even Alice is up early as well, to enjoy this match with me!!! COYF'n'G!!! Unai's Red Army will march right into Craven Cottage and leave with all 3 points in the bag!!!
Morning all. Turned on the TV 2 minutes in, just in time to see Leno make a crucial save. That better not happen too much more I hope.
Now 6 minutes in and Mustafi has to make a crucial tackle to save a sure goal by MItrovic. Good on Mustafi, but come on boys, keep them away from our goal please!
For the record... Leno Bellerín Mustafi Holding Monreal Torreira Xhaka Mkhitaryan Welbeck Iwobi Lacazette
26' a somewhat crazy wide open game. Great for neutrals. A little nerve wracking for this Gooner. Edit: And the ref is letting lots of crap go. 50/50 challenges which might be called fouls on another day. Personally I like that, but it's hard to adjust to the inconsistency between refs, between games.
29' 1-0! A beautiful direct, urgent build-up by us, then a lovely turn by Laca who buries it from 8 yds out.
Halftime 1-1 Been a real up-and-down 45 but I expect a clampdown by both squads in the second half. The next goal should (and will probably wind up being) be the winner.
That goal has been a few games coming. We are creating chances though so I think it will come down to finishing. Seems like a game where Ramsey comes on and scores the 88th minute winner with a back heel through the keepers legs.
Wow! What a shot by Bellerin. Forcing the keeper into a fantastic one-handed save at full stretch. Come on!! Edit: Then, a few seconds later, Laca makes a goal out of nothing. 2-1! He sure has had his striking boots on lately.
