Decimation

I was talking on the phone to my son...I said i feel it would be 3 1 Arsenal...........I had a dream last eve.......It would end a 2 2 draw......

My honest prediction taking all emotion out is a draw. I think we can get at them though and with a little luck, we'll steal it 3-2. 

 

Hazard confirmed ready? 

 

I can't say that I am unhappy that Liverpool is staging a huge comeback against Norwich, even I do like to watch the Dippers lose. 

We cannot, must not, let them score, here's to us even if we secure a one goal win. And let's hope Guus follows Jose by keeping Wenger at bay. Come on you Blues.

Yeah not one bit confident for this one.

It's getting closer every minute, can't wait for the game! 

 

We're still unbeaten with Guss, even when I dislike his lineups. This game is all about respect, fans and motivation. This is Arsenal and I don't really think a form is our problem, as a fan I have all the reason to beat them without being in good form, we have the ability for that and I expect that from the boys. 

 

COME ON CHELS!

Zero confidence for this one sadly.

3-1 to those Arse holes.

Last I looked we're 12/1, Arsey 8/1, but all things are possible.

An 8/1 favourite in a two horse race??!!!

IMHO I am not convinced in le arse for this match. Didn't they get bitch slapped a few weeks ago? I know everyone is calling those bums brave because they finally didn't lose away to Stoke, but I ain't buying that crap. le arse needs to prove to me they are top notch. IMHO they are still 2nd best.

? Now 8/1 and 6/1

I strongly suspect they are promotional odds to entice newbies in, get a fiver free bet at those prices.

Will look closer...

I'll be putting money on both teams otherwise, probably be able to hedge it back on the draw too! :-)

Yes we're 13/5 for a win, behind the smoke and mirrors!

GAMEDAY!

Can't say i feel confident at all. This season we have been terrible.

 

Arsenal Have not lost at home since the opening day. I think the best we can hope for is a draw. 

 

 

I would go with a 4-3-3 keep it tight and try to nick it on a counter or set play.

Will see what the game brings. Anything other than a defeat would be a pleasant surprise.

I think we will win today with hazard and Costa in. I have seen arsenal struggling often too. We have hit rock bottom, where further to Go. Don't know if it means over optimizm or a prayer. What ever I am more worried about stokes Bournemouth etc.. Nor arsenal

All things are possible.

Of course I'm desperate for us to avoid defeat but I'd at least like to see a bit of positivity from us today going forward. Take a draw over a defeat all day long but really couldn't be bothered with another bore 0-0

Any talk of taking the game to Arsenal is cobblers imo.

 

I'd settle for battening the game down from kick-off and walk away with 1 point.

 

If Hazard plays he won't be match sharp - he was pretty cack before his latest time out too so can't see how he will have changed.

 

You can imagine what Wenger will be saying today to his team;

 

- sever the link between their AM's and Costa - he's not going to collect and run from deep on his lonesome, try for a couple of yellows too to be on the safe side,

 

- play a high or deep defensive line as you feel fit; their AM's will happily shuttle sideways ad-infinitum regardless of where the line is drawn, possession matters - haha!

 

- no fouls in Willian dead ball range,

 

- they don't do wing play so forget that,

 

- overload their RH side defence,

 

Sorted.
