Back in the eighties and early nineties Arsenal’s notorious ‘Tuesday club’ used to convene in a pub and drink themselves into oblivion in preparation for their next game. Alcohol has long been off the agenda since Arsene arrived, but it appears the current crop of Gooners are still capable of getting drunk…on pints of positivity.
Almost all Wenger’s players (Ju Young Park excluded…he’s not allowed) have gone on record stating their belief that progression against AC Milan is possible, despite the mountain left to climb after the first-leg San Siro slaughter.
The latest babes to suckle milky optimism from the boss’ teat are right-back duo Carl Jenkinson and Bacary Sagna. Both men believe that Arsenal have the firepower to score five against their Italian opposition having notched impressive home wins against Blackburn and the Spuds in recent weeks.
First up Jenkinson told the official Matchday Programme: “I don’t think goalscoring is a problem of ours, so if we can find the net early then I’m sure we can make a real go of it.
“Getting that early goal would be so vital – we scored five in our last home game and there’s no reason why we can’t do the same again tonight.
“Attacking-wise we’ve got some of the best players in the world, Robin van Persie’s on fire at the moment and we’ve got goals in us all over the pitch.
“One thing about this club is that we never say never. As a team we’ve got the ability to turn anything around, so we’ve got to have the mentality to go out there tonight and do exactly that.”
Recognising that we might actually have to do some defending against the reigning Serie A champions, Sagna took the time to stress how important it will be to stay tight at the back.
“Of course it is possible, we just need to score goals and defend better than we did against Liverpool,” he told Arsenal Player making football sound so fucking simple you wonder what all the fuss is about.
“We have to be sharp everywhere on the pitch and I am sure we will score many goals. We will have great support from the fans and I know we can achieve a lot.”
Arseblog News is a cynical old beast at the best of times so we’re not expecting miracles…but maybe…just maybe…
Sagna hatrick? Maybe…. just maybe
Nope, Park scores 4 goals, not 5.
then he wakes up from the dream haha.
Or stops playing PES xD
” getting drunk…on pints of positivity.” Read that in Family Guy Stewie’s voice… hahaha
Simpson’s rule.
I BELIEVE…..!!!
This cant be good. Now I am starting to believe we really can do it.
My prediction is 6-0 in favour of the only King of London
We will concede one mate, 6-1 is far more realistic.
What a bitch it would be if we win 5-1 and go out on away goals…
Being realistic is too mainstream so I’m going for a 10-0 win tonight.
COYG!!
I see us taking it to 4-0 and getting through on penalties.
COYG!!
Nooooo, please no penalties!!!!!
“making football sound so fucking simple you wonder what all the fuss is about.”
Laughing like mad in work now.
my moneys on 6-1 to arsenal, park for the winner.
I am sure to jizz all night if we win. Here is to one happy sticky night to me. 6-0 to Arsenal, I am already fantasizing haha.
A good point, terrifyingly made. . . .
Our worst performance came against them so its only just tonight we give our best performance of the season.
You can do it.
Remember those cunts scored four against us, it is a pay back time to give them four back and some add ons.
COYG
The tweet of the day came from Mad Jens Lehman..that tweet is the best.. Call him up to dug out and get them drunk with Jens spirit..
‘ We need 4 goals, i bet we’ll beat the fatigued old men at Extra time’
Oh i fucking loved it. Still smiling from that tweet. And its Ex-players like these who make you feel how awesome our club is.
Do it for Jens else you know what happens when you mess with Jens.
Can we have another “I ain’t takin’ no shit” goals from Sagna please?
I got this feeling that Arteta will play. Remember RVP last season, when Wenger played him at Nou Camp?
Chamakh and Park each score a brace, and the winner will be an own goal by Ibrahimovic. Then RvP gets a hat trick all in extra time. Gunners!!!!
you’re a man after my own heart sir. That’ll do for me.
RVP The Ox and Theo up front…..2-0 in ten mins, Milan start to feel like they are back in Istanbul, shit themselves real nice and RVP bangs a 10 minute hatrick in after half time.
It’s all well and good having a positive attitude about tonight’s game, but ultimately Joey Barton is still a complete and utter cunt.
I’m not particularly positive about our chances this evening, to be honest. Certainly not going to get my hopes up about a victory. Don’t get me wrong – I’m going down the pub with my mate to shout until I’m hoarse at the screen, and possibly at the annoying landlord. I’ll support the team the best way I can – by screaming obscenities, getting drunk and picking a fight with a Chelsea fan at the next table. I’ll believe we can win from the first whistle to the final dregs of the rancid piss that I drink. But I just… Read more »
you just said you don’t believe it and then you will believe it, but you don’t believe it. Make your mind up mate.
84th min Ibrahimovic freekick, but SCSZ boxes it over the whole pitch and into the top corner behind Milans keeper. Sagna scores with a powerheader a minute later. RVP hattrick and it’s 5-0. That’s one way to do it. I don’t care as long as we score a lot of goals.
Come on ARSENAL!
