let's get going today

Arsenal have gone from favourites for the title to fighting for fourth place once again and questions continue to be raised about Arsene Wenger’s future. They need a win this weekend, and a convincing one at that, to relieve any doubts that people have about them being able to qualify for the Champions League. The visitors on Saturday need points desperately as they fight for survival. Since they last played, both Sunderland and Newcastle are building momentum and Norwich need a positive result this weekend to keep up with the pace. It will be a tense affair, especially if Arsenal start slowly and the negative atmosphere could play into Norwich’s hands.

Its been another disappointing campaign for Arsenal after it promised so much before Christmas. They have been average at best since the turn of the year and the drop in both intensity and quality has hurt them. If Manchester United win their game in hand, they will go just two points behind the Gunners and Arsenal will know the importance of winning this weekend to increase the pressure on United before their match against Champions-elect Leicester City. The return of Jack Wilshere was a huge positive from the match at Sunderland and they will be hoping he gets more minutes this weekend.

Norwich are in a three-way battle for survival with Sunderland and Newcastle. They dropped into the relegation zone after Sunderland took a point from Arsenal and the Canaries will be hoping for a similar result this weekend. They are level on points with Sunderland with a worse goal difference and are one point ahead of Newcastle with a game in hand over the Magpies. They will be confident about their chances of survival but they are the team with the worst form and need to quickly correct that.

In their previous meeting this season, the two sides drew 1-1 with Lewis Grabban scoring for the hosts in reply to an earlier Mesut Ozil goal. In the corresponding fixture from the last time Norwich were in the top flight, Arsenal ran out 4-1 winners. Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil (2) scored the goals for the Gunners, while Jonny Howson netted for Norwich.

I expect Arsenal to win this match and if Manchester United fail to beat Leicester, this will all but confirm Champions League qualification. Alexis Sanchez is in great form and I think he will continue that and grab at least one goal. The frustration in the Arsenal camp is at an all time high, which could be a bad thing for Norwich as they will want to take that out on someone. If Arsenal get a big win like I expect, it could have a devastating effect on Norwich and their survival hopes.

Pretty much, giroud goal drought and this home crowd booing their own side is pretty comical. Mr. Bean isn't to popular anymore on this arsenal side.

We like anything today?

We looking into a few

Serie A
Roma U3

Bundesliga
Werder Bremen U3.5

My guy doesn't post soccer lines now til like 90 minutes (or so) before the match, so I don't have my EPL lines yet, or some of the other matches.

Serie A
Napoli Over, depending what it is.

They've just scored at home like crazy and think they can really put it up if the total is 2.5....if it's 3 might have a lot more thought on it.

15 mins til kick

Swedish

Kalmar vs Orebro over 2'


Get it

Are the hot Spurs going to be ready to play today or since they can't pass Leicaster, ( or have I miscalculated ) are they not going to be motivated ?

Missed the Swedish Game, good luck there.

Well Tottenham hasn't won at Stamford Bridge since 1990 in all competitions, so whether they are ready to go and up or not, its a tough pick.

However, definitely considering them at PK -110, because then at least you push on the draw.

Since 1990, wow. That's incredible. Do they play at least once a year ?


I can't believe the Cubs blew that one yesterday after tying it up. I had a 6 team parlay they cursed. A lot less painful as they were the 3rd game, the last 3 were blues, Redsox over and pacers under

They've both been in the top flight since then, so yes...they've played at least once per year at Stamford Bridge.

Not to mention, they could have met in the FA Cup and/or Capital One (Carling) Cup during those years as well.

I'll try and look up how many matches its been, but its not pretty.
