AG edited my post asking for emoji votes instead of a poll ‘New and improved match threads’ they said… ‘up to the minute team news’ they said, like we solely rely on the forum for team news… They’re out of touchHow does this dead forum not allow polls ffs?
Magpie-Mania has top of the line stuff.
Outside of the current top 3, the rest of the Premier League is much of a muchness. The gulf between them and us/United/Sp**s is the same as the gulf between us/Utd/Sp**s and the bottom 3.Saying this is must win for top 4 is a bit exaggerated I feel. We won at United and Chelsea for the first time in years last season and came 8th...
I reckon 4th this year will be down to who is more consistent against the mid to lower table teams, and so far we've been good in that aspect. Of course we should be looking to win, those are the standards of this club, but this game won't make or break our season.
I understand what you’re getting at, but they’ll always be bigger than us and they’ll always most probably have better players too and a bigger stadium. We need to focus on the long term goal. This is still essentially a bumm fight.
That’s my ambition tbf. Go for the title and then end up with 4th. Some people are aiming for 4th and then we’ll end up 5th
My whole point was that we failed to capitalise when West Ham dropped points against Wolves as we had Liverpool that same gameweek but today is the perfect opportunity to capitalise on two of our direct rivals for top 4 as West Ham already drew and we have a chance to beat Utd. If that isn’t a “must win” then I’m not sure what is? The next game week is a tricky one for both teams (Palace and Chelsea) and we’re playing a day after them, so that will probably be must win too.

I completely agree that consistency is the key & we have an advantage due to no European football.
Happy with what we're doing defensively, but phase 2 and 3 of our build up play needs a good deal more work.
Who cares about polls anyway? No one votes seriously, the same posters vote for the same result every week.How does this dead forum not allow polls ffs?

Chelsea should have won at least 2-1, probably 3-1. Plus the United goal came from a ridiculous Jorginho mistake to let United attack with 2 guys vs the GK.Man United just got a draw against Chelsea. I don’t think they’re in that bad shape at the moment. New manager, Arsenal coming to the ground… History mostly on their side…We are big underdogs, make no mistake.

Also not sure why we should look too far into the past. For example last 5 games against United (all EPL), are 3-2-0 for Arsenal. Away from home it's 1-1-0.
We need to at least draw this, and we should even without Saka. United is without Varane and Pogba, and Shaw will be assessed.
I took that vote seriously, I’ll have you know. I knew of the aforementioned waste men who predicted a loss every week. That didn’t deter the rest from treating the poll with respect. I think we need to bin the new match thread thing and go back to the poll threads. Maybe have a poll asking if it’s what the people want, dread?Oh no democracy is dead because reed and rich can't vote for an Arsenal loss every week.

We were just conforming, being nice and open to change like decent people. Were we told the polls would disappear? The only mention of a poll was to have one for the new layoutDesign of matchday threads
Hello. In efforts to always improve the user experience, the matchday threads could have a slightly better layout where the original post can remain stuck on all pages of a matchday thread. In this way, as the match goes on and new pages are created with instant reactions, the original post...arsenal-mania.com
A-M chose this...
