The dates and times of three April fixtures have been finally announced by the Premier League and Arsenal.
The Gunners visit to Wolves on Saturday, April 20th will now kick off at 7.30pm, and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
Three days later, on April 23rd, we’ll host Chelsea at the Emirates at 8pm, after our game due to take place last weekend was postponed because of their FA Cup involvement. This game will be on TNT Sports (in this part of the world).
Finally, a North London derby visit to White Hart Lane will take place on Sunday, April 28th, with a 2pm kick-off for Sky Sports. However, Arsenal report, “This game will be moved to Saturday, April 27 at 12.30pm should we reach the Champions League semi-finals and are due to be in action on Tuesday, April 30.”
This is going to be a seriously testing run-in, so let’s hope that we can continue our momentum after the Interlull, starting with a win against Man City at the Etihad.
The fact that this report ends in the way it does shows just how much appreciation we owe to Mikel.
Yes, he’s only doing his job, Roy, but no one would have envisaged when he came in that we’d be discussing taking all three points at the Etihad as a possibility, not just in hope.
We’ve come a long way in such a short time.
It’s going to be a tough run-in for sure but that’s surely what we want, to be competing for the top honours at this stage of the season.
In fact I would argue that this relatively tough run-in is just what we need: although Wolves may park their bus even in front of their own fans, against Brighton, the Manch teams and Spuds that won’t be the case and there will be space to exploit, while the pressure will be more on those home teams than on us. Plus the toughest run-in may result in the sweetest title win, if not we won’t be accused of ‘bottling’ it like last year. I am confident that we will be in the running until the last day of this season,… Read more »
(assuming we advance to the CL semis) We’ll play 13 games in 6 weeks, until mid-May. With the prospect of a fully fit squad I say: bring it on!
What’s worse than 7.30 Saturday game to mess up possible plans? A Chelsea game on wife’s birthday when plans already made!🥴
Fun solutions please😄
Fake injury, stay in bed and watch on phone?
Fake gastrointestinal distress. Stay on toilet and watch on phone?
Continuously squint in distance saying “Isn’t that Idris Elba?? while you watch on phone?
You’re fucked mate!
Other solutions good, thank you all, but I fear yours is accurate Andy.
1-Work emergency?
2- Go big and say the state of the world with the war in Ukraine and global warming etc has you facing an existential crisis and you’re unable even consider something as frivolous as a party. If she really cares about the planet she’ll relent. Or does she think her birthday more important than the entire planet!
3- Failing that, create a fake argument the day before her birthday and then say you need some time alone to think and clear your head (this one works for me)..
You’re single now, aren’t you?
Nah go celebrate with her and watch the highlights of us destroying them comfortably 6-0 later.
Just record it! Only way our.
I always manage to not see rhe score before I watch a recorderd match late
This didn’t work for the Likely Lads in the 1970s, glad it seems to be a solution for Gooners in the 2020s
