Had a mental dream that we went 5-1 up after 30 mins but for some reason I had to leave.
Fast forward to full time and we'd lost 6-9 ...........after extra time.
I don't even know what to make of that.
I think we're better than them, but I'm weirdly gloomy and pessimistic and think we'll lose.
I can't see why not . Arsenal have not been amazing , the Newcastle game was not amazing for us but we still made chances and on a better day they would have gone in and we drew with city when many thought we would get a thrashing .It's only the start of the season so anything can happen.Wow! 30% of voters are optimistically deluded in thinking we'll win this. I admire it though.
Our record there is shocking which really kind of makes you even more pessimistic than you could be going into the game just based on our form.
I won’t be watching the game live or on TV which is probably the first time for ages. I’ll watch a recording of it when I get back home.
Thus far, we have played two sides that played a low block with 8-9 defenders and one side that kept the ball and won it back every time they lost it. Nevertheless, we've scored 5 goals.Maybe, but our attack so far this season has been about as sharp as rhino's arse! And no, there is no such thing as a lesser spotted sharp arsed rhino!!
Our player's said that last year and couldn't back it up in both games and we got taken apart at theirs, so I wouldn't get too carried away.I think we're better than them, but I'm weirdly gloomy and pessimistic and think we'll lose.

Arsenal won't play a low block at home and there should be openings to score. Our squad is short of positivity and togetherness at present and we aren't playing our best defender and best midfielder, so there's every chance we'll concede more than we score, but we should be able to pass and move among their defenders and, if we can finish, we should be able to score some goals.
It's a different proposition than trying to pry an opening against Villa's and Newcastle's surprisingly well-drilled massed defences. Arsenal have to try to win the game and they wont sit on a 1-goal lead unless there's an hour gone.
It doesn't matter how good they are or whether we play their ladies team we always and will continue to do so lose there because we just can't cope with expectation or pressure to deliver, it won't change an arsenal know this and each year we go there as sacrificial lambs.They'll press us high like City did, can't see us getting out of own half too often and giving the ball away too often and too easily as a result. I fear an embarrassing afternoon as I don't see our lot being up for the fight.

Didn't we win there 0-2 in the cup last year?...surely there was more pressure to deliver then than in a league match?It doesn't matter how good they are or whether we play their ladies team we always and will continue to do so lose there because we just can't cope with expectation or pressure to deliver, it won't change an arsenal know this and each year we go there as sacrificial lambs.
I wouldn't have thought so mate the biggest games with the most importance we tend to lose you know that and no I'm not being negative.Didn't we win there 0-2 in the cup last year?...surely there was more pressure to deliver then than in a league match?
