3 reasons Arsenal will KILL CSKA Moscow tonight!
We've had enough of this shiite already Arsenal Football Club! Can we be done with all the uncertainty and pessimism and get back to the roots of the club and just come out and play some scintillating football. For the love of God? Or football? Whichever matters to you more..
With the trip to Moscow beckoning in a week's time, we - engulfed in a whirlwind of optimism - have come up with five reasons why the Gunners will kick some Russian butt tonight at the Emirates.
Don't mess this up now Arsenal.. #COYG
#3 Arsenal have four wins on the trot
When the team laid out the red carpet for the two newcomers - Aubameyang and Mikhitaryan - with a 5-1 demolition of Everton, even the most skeptical Arsenal fan let himself dream just a little.
However, what followed was a cruel reminder of why the average Arsenal fan has grown up to become a skeptic.
Arsenal lost 2 out of their next 3 games against Spurs and Östersund - absolute minnows from the Swedish League (Who even knew about there being a league in Sweden!?) - and the Gunners couldn't comprehend which one was more humiliating.
The humiliation didn't end there as the North London side went on to lose the EFL Cup final, in a horrendous display of apathy by the players, against Manchester City. A repeat of the same on home-turf followed that performance before the Gunners were out-gunned by mother-f***ing Brighton in their next game!
Fortunes have mercifully seen an uptick since and the Gunners have managed to stitch together a run of four wins on the trot, including a two-legged humbling of the Rossoneri in this exact competition.
So who the hell are CSKA to stand a chance? They're no Östersund for certain.
