While I'm not expecting too much for Sunday (other than Arsenal to get the big decisions) I have a feeling we could put on a decent show at the Emirates

Premier league isn't it. They'll play 10 home games against teams like us (and better) every season, and lose how many? worth checking back over the last ten years, I expect you can count them on one hand
Burnley are 5-1 to win at Everton, Hudds are 9-1 to beat Spurs at home, hell Man City are roughly 3-2 to beat Chelsea, which looks like a fair bet to make money on

What is Arsenal's record like in their first game after a european game? I know some teams struggle, some dont but could be worth a fiver if they're teaditionally poor.
Me too. 1-2 or 1-3 (can't see them not scoring) @33/1 and 150/1.
Really ?
Im havin some of that for sure.
I don't really expect to win but I can see us going there and keeping a clean sheet and then all it takes is a penalty or set piece to score and ''quids in''

I had a look - going back to the start of the 2006-07 season, slightly more than 11 seasons, Arsenal have played 212 home premier league matches and lost 23 of them, won or drew 189. It will be a toughie!!
If you're interested, they were beaten by:
Man Utd 3 times
Chelsea 4 times
Liverpool 2
Spurs 1
Man City 1
Aston Villa 3
Newcastle 1
West Ham 1
Watford 1
West Brom 1
Hull 1
Wigan 1
and Swansea 3 times, remarkably.
In 8 of those 11 seasons they lost at least 1 home game to a team outside the rest of the big 6.
Anyway, the moral of this story is "you're saying there's a chance!"

Up against 12 men, should Arsenal get another corrupt ref like last night.

Real Madrid were 1.17 to win at home the other day (against Real Betis I think). They lost, so never say never.

This is one of our less pressured games v top six. If we lose it's expected, draw or win it's a bonus. I'd love to see us go out against these top six clubs and just express ourselves.

I know an Albion win there is very unlikely - but 14-1 in a two horse race........tempting!
Worth a 50p shot anyway!

I'm poor so will do 20p at most
50p will do fine!

Brighton down to 12's now. One thing I'm sure of is that we won't roll over like West Brom did yesterday. We'll keep going right to the end.
Stand back, bedwetter incoming...
But Hemed won't be there to take the penalty
Yep.
Mmm, I'm not sure expressing ourselves against a flowing Arsenal would be the best plan. Hopefully I'll be proved wrong.
That's torn it.
