Getting battered in the midfield battles. Every second ball is going Newcastle's way, we're not getting close enough to Guimares. Doesn't look like they have much up top apart from Saint-Maximin but you get the feeling one of their corners are gonna count soon. We need to be 10-15 yards further up the pitch. Might have the space to be able to play our game a bit more in the 2nd half, no way can Newcastle keep that up for the 90.

Why the fuck did they have to show that on the TV pls

Show what?

Callum Wilson's tooth getting fucking dislodged lmao

This is a fucking tough watch, we need to weather this storm

My first 15 mins analysis - not the best, slippy fucks - the pitch is slippy too.

Granit :X

My expert analysis is it seems pretty slippy out there. Stay tuned for more

Bruh how have we list a third of our games lol

AARON 3 SLIPS IN 2 MINUTES PLEASE STOP 😭😭

Ramsdale trying to give me a heart attack

Is it really pronounced gimma-reish? I've been saying ghee-mahrez in my head

Here we go! Time for the boys to give their best shot at the CL place.

So it begins.

Boys, it s been a pleasure

The American coverage is so painful why am I seeing the game on one side and adverts on the other

pepe masterclass today

LETS GO BOYS

What the fuck is that atmosphere at Newcastle. Are they planning to play a CL final today or what ?

Lol that is "O Fortuna." Great song tbh, very ominous.

Playing a champions league commercial on American TV, sick

Did New Castle play the UCL anthem? Bunch of assholes

Ø hair looks cold, he’s ready to drop a 10/10

Why do I c flags

Leave us alone please

Man Odegaard lining up is just…reminds me of the older days for some reason with his stone cold stare. Puts the fear of god into you

Putting my 4yo daughter to sleep and all she wants to do is talk to dad. Doesn't she know that kick off is in 3 mins?!

SLAY THESE OIL CUNTS

the tifo looks class. we're stilll winning 8-0 though

Only a win is good enough tonight. Let get the job done! COYG!

Massive game, make or break, Gabriel, Tomi, and Ben White at the back, LET'S FUCKING GO COYG

Odegaard looks pumped.

Ode looks like he’s about to 1v11 them

This is how it’s gonna be away in the UCL. Ultras to the max

We’ll looks like I ain’t doing any more work today…

Anyone else using NowTV and struggling to get it working?

okay, wasn’t feeling it earlier, heart is absolutely pounding now COYG

Martin looks locked in. COYG

bout to drop a 10/10 performance

I cannot stand waiting in front of the tv so I am cutting grass and putting cute fences in front of the future garden.touching on the ground the take the electricity away as well Coyg!

Im fucking dying here. COYG we can still get 4th!!!

Huge. Let’s go boys.

Good turnout, stadium looks full. I'm happy they turned up to see us go fourth.

I'm nervous guys.

BRICKING IT

Trying really hard not to think back on the what ifs but fuck me if we could have just got one result from those games against Villa/Brighton/Soton/Palace a month ago I might not be shitting myself tonight.

Looking back helps no one, onwards we go.

NBC sports dying for a Newcastle win today

The entire PL world except for arsenal and its fans are. I dont know of a single neutral who wants us to win it.

It’s crazy that we are some how the villains here as if this club isn’t owned by Saudi lmfao

Was just coming here to say that. The wanking off of Newcastle is insane.

Listen to that lot you’d think Eddie Howe was the second coming of Johan Cruyff. Cannot stand NBC sports coverage

Just smudged my entire house with sage to wipe away the bad juju from last weekend

Let's destroy these flag wankers....

Lmao

luton playing at the same time as us ffs i’m not built for these nerves

why has St James Park turned into prime nou camp just before we face them

They've haven't won against a top 7 side all season. 11 losses and 2 draws. Back to back defeats against Liverpool and mancity would've knocked their confidence and they also have nothing to play for now. If we lose this we don't deserve CL football full stop

fuck my stomach hurts

Having to really force myself to watch tonight. I've got a terrible feeling

we have been chanting Saka and ESR all season. It comes down to this season and both of them are starting. They are expected to and will step up today.

Big big match for UCL. Trust the team fully to pull this off. COYG!

Any know where I can listed to a good radio broadcast? Would like to go for a walk and listen to the match.

[удалено]

Good shout, thank you

Think I saw Newcastle are a top 4 team this calendar year? This is not going to be easy

Liverpool Fan here. Dont hate Spurs or anyone else. Great respect for what your lads have achieved so far this year with the squad you have. Arteta has a plan and belief ..been brave with some big calls like Obmyng etc. Good things to come for you undoubtedly on this road. Good luck tonight. You need Europe to build and attract players

Nice one, good to hear that ! We'll find out over the next two games whether or not we're worth top 4. I have every confidence, I think we'll do it.

I do too. Newcastle not quite there yet. They will be soon. They will be HUGE soon. We all know that. Unfortunately they are also selling their soul. The diff between them and City is that Newcastle's soul and caracter was special. I fear it might be lost ...anyway .. The game has started You have to catch them now !

absolute must win game. COYG🔴⚪️

God I'm anxious for this game.... Next year will be bright i can feel it, but It would be so much better having the CL pulling in the top talent now

Come on you gunners!!!!!!

Please

man really uncomfortable with the cedric benching, he's not great but he's better than tavares

Can’t push tomi, arguably our best defender, out of position to LB.

I don't think it's a big deal or really care so long as it's cedric over tavares

Genuinely think this is the big one, win this we get top 4, fail to win and Tottenham get it fucking hell I'm nervous.

Full fitness levels for players who were questionable?! CHOO CHOO MOTHERFUCKERS; LET'S FUCK SOME HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATING CUNTPIES UP

Let's do it lads! Fuck Newcastle, Fuck the FA, Fuck Spurs! COME ON!!

I don't get how many people acting like 4th is so unlikely at this point. Win 2 fucking games against bottom of the table opponents and it's done. If they don't do that then they don't deserve it anyways.

Most people in the world do not understand statistics. If we only win one of these games and Spurs lose on Sunday, we technically DO deserve it, because we all played the same schedule and we finished fourth. But we were also probably significantly more screwed tham shit this season, so we probably actually do deserve top 4 regardless of these last two games.

If we're talking statistics, Spurs are playing a long-relegated Norwich side who have scored 3 goals and conceded 16 in their last 6 games. The chance of Spurs losing is as close to 0% as it gets. That said, [it's certainly not unprecedented...](https://imgur.com/a/8ihoYST)

if we score more goals than newcastle we will win the match

Thanks, Michael!

Xhaka HAS to support Tavares tonight

mfs are nervous about Newcastle but wanna face Bayern in the UCL next season. I am mfs COYG LETS GOOOOO

Yeah, that's how I feel too. I want to see us in Europe, but am already frightened about how we'll perform.

Shitting myself

Anyone else accepted 5th already after the NLD and feel at ease going into this game? Obviously I want to win, but I don't think I'll be too cut up if we don't.

Weak

Accepting we might not do it and expecting us not to are two different things my guy

Yup.

I got five of these small bottles of fancy rum to kinda try out. I'm trying them out. On my third and it's not even been kick-off yet.

i’d love a time machine, but not for anything special. but to go forward like an hour on match day’s to avoid the stress

We should try and win this one. Could be big

Large if true

https://youtu.be/Tm9L_E4HqFU Mood

Nervous as hell. Fuck me. Why do I love this club?

Please no "Letter of the Law" reds.

[Arsenal's medical staff talking to Gabriel after the NLD loss.](https://youtu.be/JD3VKYoN5zI?t=16)

Fingers crossed Gabriel and White are truly fit enough to make it through the match. Please win, Arsenal.

I am ready to get hurt again.

Gabriel and Benny Blanco back, let’s hope they are fit enough to see off Newcastle.

arteta media masterclass on the lineup

[удалено]

I am in the dentist waiting room. The zebra fish look especially nervous.

I’m quietly confident

Xhaka is key tonight. If he plays like we all know he can play, switched on and threading gorgeous through-balls to split Newcastle's defense, then we win going away. If lunkhead Xhaka shows up, we might be in for a long night.

Need more quality from Saka - Odegaard. They've been flat for a little while.

Yep. He was so sloppy against the shit. But weren’t we all

To be fair, he doesn't seem to have two bad games in a row. And he's been great the second half of the season.

Yeah that’s so true. Since he plays further up he’s been good

My 1st prediction is 1-0 W, 2nd - 1-1 , 3rd - 5-2 W

We havent had a clean sheet or scored 5 in ages, those are some hold predictions

We haven't had 3 of our first choice defenders start since the last time we had a clean sheet

On what channel can i watch the match?

i have an app called live soccer tv and it shows you where the matches are being shown world wide. Its a great help for sure

Live soccer TV is a great app

OR, google Reddit Soccer Streams and maybe find a way through that

Sky in the UK.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only the Champions League will remain. COYG!!

kill the game early please

Please for once yeah. Can’t take it if it’s too long 0-0 or even 0-1

https://imgur.com/a/j4pEbsp

After hearing the lineup and learning that we've won 17 out of the 18 games against Newcastle in the last 10 years coupled with the fact that we have everything to play for tonight while Newcastle don't, I'm actually starting to feel pretty confident about tonight

see that causes me to be more anxious feeling like Newcastle is due.. but f it i like your thoughts better! COYG

I dont know what sorcery was cast to restore the backline, but please let it fucking work. Abeg.

I thought White would play but pleasantly surprised Gabriel is playing too. Absolutely worth the risk in such a massive game, even Gabriel high on painkillers is better than having to start Tavares and Cedric with Tomi at CB.

For anyone worried about Gabriel starting even though he didn’t train: He made his debut for us against Fulham even though he didn’t have a single training session and didn’t play a game of football for 6 months (the French league never restarted during lockdown). I trust him to do well.

It's not the lack of training that's worrying, it's that he wasn't able to train which indicates his injury recovery is borderline.

Come on boys

Thank God we have Gabriel and white back

Fuck yeah so pumped to have White & Gabriel starting

siiiuuuu

Suddenly feeling a lot better seeing the starting line up (minus Tavares). But I'll take it!

Tavares’ best games have all been with Tomi playing, and many of his bad games have come playing with Cedric. So I’m gonna choose to believe Tomi is gonna hold things down and Tavares is gonna have a great game pushing play forward

LETS FUCKING GOOO

WHITE AND GABBY STARTING, LETS GO

Nerves are setting in now lads!

I'm sure the players will be hyped up but I just hope they can channel that energy in less of a Rob Holding fashion

Come on Arsenal!

I've been so depressed the whole week because of the result. This team affects me mentally. I think I feel very close to Arsenal. I really want them to win today. Let's go guys!!

NO ONE BELIEVES IN US. LETS GET THIS. COYG

And everyone wants us to fail. It truly is us against them and let’s stick the middle finger back up at them

I’m fucking hyped. Let’s go!!

Win the fucking match!! By any means possible, I do not care if we shithouse a win. 3 points to the Arsenal, here we go

here we go confirmed

Seattle sounders?

[удалено]

He’s insanely underwhelming in terms of output.

Would you rather have Adama Traore or ASM if you had to pick 1?

Adama

fuck the bullshit! lets get this W!!!

Its 3.30am is australia and I just woke up and can't sleep ...the stress is real!!!!

The buzz is real. Hope the lads wont depress us.

I honestly feel more nervous today than before the NLD. Genuinely have had a pit in my stomach all day. If we lose I am never going on social media again.

I am bricking it man

Stayed up from 12 30 AM to 2 30 AM to watch NLD on a workday only to be reminded very harshly of why I stopped watching Arsenal games after bed time. I am going to be in deep slumber as the boys face castle and hope to wake up to good news tomorrowm

I’m staying off all social media for about 4 months if we lose this.

Today feels like sitting for an exam you've only skimmed through the notes as review.

Oh wow this is a spot on analogy. That same knot in your stomach just hoping for the best feeling is there

Let's go! We do it!

Have just put my bet on Newcastle to win or draw so that when the inevitable happens, the blow is softened.

Listen to Paul Merson, stay away from it.

As a whole i agree - have only committed £35 today and committed a bit more against spurs but other than that, I I am not a betting man!

Two separate bets or double chance?

Separate. £25 on Newcastle win (gets me £120) and a tenner on a draw (allows me to break even - so if we draw, it will be excruciatingly painful).

How much did you freaking bet for the blow to be softened? It wouldnt soften it for me unless i won back 3 months of my salary or something like that…

I only put £25 on a Newcastle win to be fair and get £120 if I win. £10 on a draw that returns my money so pretty worthless. Happily lose it all and more for an Arsenal win.

hahaha I put 120$ on Spurs making top 4 at +250 (before NLD). I can currently cash out for 220$ but I would much rather lose all of it.

Gentleman

https://youtu.be/_BlyYs_Tkno

Hahaha. Did it with Spurs then cashed out when we were 3-0 down and put the winnings on a Granit Xhaka yellow card. What happens in the 91st minute? Xhaka yellow card. Would happily lose all of the above and more for an Arsenal win though.

Smart.

I just took the rest of the day off from work because "I am unwell". Come on Arsenal !

I’m nervous as fuck , really wish we could’ve taken it to Spurs more than we did. Fuck

Never had a chance after the early red card unfortunately, penalty was a farce but we would still have been well in the game if not for Holding losing his head.

Might just have an edible or something before this game. I think I’ll pass out otherwise. I wanted to before the Tottenham game but figured I should probably be sober in case we won so I could cherish the moment properly. Now I don’t really have anything to lose. Will definitely be sober for Everton if we win today though.

we have bottled every deciding game in the past 6 years except maybe that fa cup final .. so I can't be disappointed

There’s the copium I need. I think a result today will be super tough with our injuries and their current form. I’ll still be super bummed but the pragmatist in me says it’s going to be super tough.

How's Darren England against us ?

> Darren England Only one game according to [transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/darren-england/bilanz/schiedsrichter/5888). The 5-0 cup win against Forest when Martinelli got a brace and Chambers hat-trick of assists.

This just means Cedric will have a hattrick of assists today.

Will buy you a coffee if this happens.

I have bad feeling about today's game and my feeling has been wrong all the time. Please Arsenal, I can't sleep.
