What a difference a week makes. Last Saturday I woke up full of nerves ahead of a match that I saw as a must-win against in form opposition.

Today, it's just pure excitement. It's a game that I don't expect to win, so even a point would be a bonus. That hugely relieves any pressure. But I'm going into the game with genuine belief that we can come away with 1, if not all 3 points. Roll on kick off!

I’m terribly nervous for some reason.

Me too. Worried we may suffer a bit of a backlash from their recent woes against City.

On the other hand, I still haven't got used to being in the Premier League, and I'm far more excited than I should be about playing Arsenal today.

I hope afterwards if we lose that we show Arsenal the respect they deserve after a week of piss taking out of the club and their fans.

But if we beat them then we're fully entitled to really slaughter them. :)

Arsenal's away support is pretty good and loud.

It should be a great game. Bring it on! :clap:

The only time I’ve heard them at the Amex is when they take the lead, decent numbers but otherwise piss poor.

If the most probable score is 1-1, how can the most probable result be an away win :shrug:

Allegedly Joachim Löw is the pretender to Arsenal manager

1-1 is the most likely score, based on the algorithm used. However, if one team were to win the probability is it would be Arsenal.

I’m also really nervous for some reason today. I just hope we play confidently and if we are drawing or ahead in the second half that we keep going forward rather than becoming too defensive. I guess we may see the same starting eleven as last week, but I really hope CH uses his substitutes early. No injuries or sendings off please.

I think we have a real chance. We’re playing well and now have attacking options. In the last game against Arsenal we were OK but had nothing up front. UTA
