We lost 2-1 last year, I don't remember the game but they had 75% possession and it appears they won easily.

None of those are playing, plus they don’t have a fit centre forward.
Couldn’t possibly be playing them at a better time
It is an exceptional time to play them. They also play a very high line at the moment, which also plays into our hands!
Lets just make sure that nobody tells Arteta that Sterling always scores against us....

I think I can remember a couple of 1-0 victories in the league against them recently plus we mullered them in the cup not long before that.

I remember it very well. First Half we couldn't get out our own half 0-0. The First goal went straight through Turner at the near post and then the 2nd - Montiel decided to try and control a high ball on the half way line facing our goal and then they took it off him and scored.

Admire your confidence but we have said exactly the same thing about Bournemouth Fulham and Newcastle all missing key players.
Unless we can refind the defensive resolve we had earlier in the season I can only see a defeat next 2 games. Sorry to be negative.

I am confident we have this one in the bag and I don't normally say such things.
RE: Nottingham Forest - Arsenal - Sausage Roll - 24-02-2025
We mustn't show them too much respect. Seemed in the Arsenal and Man City away games we were still a little overawed by them and there is no reason we should have been, particularly given our win at Anfield. Despite recent blips we're still 3rd on merit and need to play like we know we belong there.

I think Arsenal are mentally screwed.
Following there loss to West Ham and Liverpool's win yesterday their PL dream is over once again. They are on the floor.
There for the taking.
Bring it on.

Pretty much like our first season where we confirmed safety against them. They lost to Brighton the game before and all but ended the title hopes.
Just this time we have a chance to move 3pts behind them which sounds crazy in itself.
RE: Nottingham Forest - Arsenal - Trailer Park Tom - 24-02-2025
Given the fact we are at home and arsenal are without their Frontline we really need to be targeting a win and taking at least a point from the game.

Hope Taiwo is fit then to shin one in again. Arsenal have always struggled against him way more than any other team for some reason.

Would you rather play them without their first choice front 3, or with them all fit and firing ?!
