Gotta try get at least a draw at the Scum, keep the momentum going.

[Roboklopp]

Getting 3rd would alleviate the freakish opportunity of Scum knocking us out of th CL places by winning the ****er too.

go and bet all of your money on manure winning the CL

the arse meltdown is underway. [this isnt about slinky and his car shenanigans].

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Tottenham (a) Given the players missing - Draw
Chelsea (a) Mourinho vs Wenger - Loss
Swansea (h) - Win
City (h) maybe a few players back - Draw
Everton (a) Tough call, Everton deserved 3 points at the Emirates - Draw

Honest assessment of their next 5 games, I'd say that looks pretty realistic 6 points from 5 games would put them on 65 and I'd expect us to be on a minimum of 70 over the same period. With our goal difference that's 6 points they'd have to overturn in 5 games, I'm getting excited

I hope they beat Chelsea or at least get a draw.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

I hope they beat Chelsea or at least get a draw.

I think Mourinho is unbeaten both at home with Chelsea and against Wenger full stop.. I know football is a funny game but it'd have to be ****ing hilarious for Arsenal to manage a win.

[Fosterbloke]

Draws against Chelsea and City would be great for us. I hope they only beat Swansea and draw the rest.

Nicklas Bendtner 'dropped his pants and rubbed himself on my taxi'
• Danish reports claim Arsenal striker involved in drunken row
• Alleged incident took place in Copenhagen on Tuesday


Nicklas Bendtner has been accused of being involved in a drunken rant with a taxi driver in Denmark.
Nicklas Bendtner's reputation has taken another battering after the Denmark striker was accused of threatening a taxi driver while worse for wear in Copenhagen on the same night his Arsenal team-mates had exited the Champions League to Bayern Munich.

Bendtner, who has not featured for the Londoners since 2 February but did start for his country against England last week, was reported to have unbuttoned his trousers and rubbed up against the side of the taxi by the Danish newspaper, BT. The 26-year-old is then alleged to have whipped the cab with his belt, calling the driver a "little whore". The cabbie was so concerned that he called the police.

The incident allegedly took place outside the Norrebro Brewery in Ryesgade, a restaurant in a trendy suburb of Copenhagen who had just shown live coverage of Arsenal's 1-1 draw in Munich, which confirmed their elimination from Europe's elite competition 3-1 on aggregate. Bendtner was apparently accompanied by three friends, one of whom had a bicycle.

"They were pretty drunk," the 47-year-old taxi driver told BT. "I got out of the car to put the bike stand on the back of the cab, and Bendtner and two of the others climbed into the back seat. When I sat back down I saw that the taxi radio had been kicked loose and was dangling down. They'd also taken some of my personal belongings that had been lying between the seats and, when I asked to have them back, Bendtner completely freaked out.

"He said that, if he was not so famous, he would have smacked me, and he called me a 'little fat pig'. I asked him to leave the car – I had to ask them three times, and said I'd have to call the police if they didn't." The cabbie then claimed that, while he was removing the bike stand again from the back of the car, Bendtner had to be restrained by his three friends.

"He stood at the back of the car and rubbed up against the side window after unbuttoning his pants while he whipped the cab with his belt and shouted he wanted to '**** me'," he added. "I've had drunks and alcoholics in my cab in Copenhagen over the last 25 years, but I've never experienced anything like this." Bendtner's spokeswoman, Elisa Lykke, when contacted by The Guardian declined to comment on the story on Thursday, while Arsenal said they were looking into the matter but declined to make any further statement.

The Denmark international will leave the club this summer under freedom of contract but, while he still hopes to play a part in the club's run-in, he had claimed earlier this month that his image may hinder his attempts to relaunch his career elsewhere. Bendtner suggested he had been "made into a psychopath" in terms of public perception.

"I have, for example, talked to clubs who say they have heard this or that story about me," he had told the Danish paper Jyllands-Posten. "So I have to tell them that is not true. Of all the things that I have been associated with, I have only done one thing wrong and that was in Copenhagen [an arrest for drink driving]. Regardless of this, I have, bit by bit, in people's eyes been made into a psychopath."

His performance in the 1-0 friendly defeat to England had drawn criticism from the Denmark coach, Morten Olsen, born of the player's lack of match sharpness with his club career effectively in limbo. "Bendtner's not performing enough," he had said. "I'm hopeful he'll find a club in the summer. We knew, and we know and saw it at Euro 2012 when he was one of the best strikers, what he offers, but he has to play every weekend. With his big body, he has to be in good physical performance otherwise you see his performance: it's not enough."

Arsenal will be without club record signing Mesut Ozil for "a minimum of three and a maximum of six weeks" with a hamstring injury, manager Arsene Wenger has announced.

[Bender]

Ok this is from the Mail and no quotes so take it with a pinch of salt......

Arsenal will be told the price of keeping Bacary Sagna when his contract runs out at the end of the season is more than £20million.

The 31-year-old has already rejected two offers to stay, the latest a two-year option on the same £60,000-a-week he earns at the moment.

Make-or-break talks are in the diary but Sagna wants three years at more than £90,000 a week, plus a £6m signing-on fee to be paid in annual instalments

[Roboklopp]

Cheeky ******* if so.

[john316]

Average player - we've seen the problems of overpaying your own players. Sure Wenger can find himself another full back somewhere in France for a lot less.

[Leyton388]

He's ****ing crap imo. Arsenal will do well to tell him to sling his hook in the summer.

[McDermotX]

Arsenal fans telling me it's 120k a week on a 3yr deal AND a testimonial.

Really high opinion of himself.
