Looks like it, lets hope fate doesn't make Wilshere score against us.

[Diana Prince]

Fate my arse. We'll get beat.

Robinson, Knight, Muamba, Holden

And to Dh - I appreciate your points and can see the logic. Also you said you would have a go with Moreno if we are winning with ten mins left. What if we are losing? I think that would be prime time to spring the trap. Hit the ball up to Davies head it into a gap, hope Rodrigo's pace gets him through... ? Non?

Non! If we are ahead with ten minutes to go, then Arsenal will be committing men forwards and, as such, will be pushing up and playing a high line against Davies who, as we all know, isn't the quickest player in the world. Bringing on Rodrigo in that situation, or another player with pace if we had one, would be a better idea, at least offensively, as he could exploit any long balls over th top as he'd have space behind Davies to run in to.

If we are losing tomorrow, say by one goal, Arsenal aren't going to be committing men forwards, and there won't be that type of space left in behind for Rodrigo to exploit. Therefore, if we are behind, Arsenal are more likely to be playing a deeper defensive line and, as such, if we were to bring on an attacking player, I would bring on Klasnic as he is our best goal poacher and will be more later to half chances arising in the box from davies' knock downs etc.

Arsenal does not even have a player called Fate stop chatting shíte.

Saying that Dh. Arsenal aren't usually a team who think "right we have scored, let's drop off now. They usally go straight for the neck for whenever I have seen them. One of the reasons they score so many!

[Batman]

If Almunia plays, then we'll stand a chance.

[Darequam]

OOOHHH!!! My God!!!!!!

I can see us winning Arsenal, and Arsenal forcing a draw at 9 mins to the match stop

Fair point, and I don't deny that if we go behind early it could end up a cricket score. That said, if we fall more than one behind, we could bring on Messi and it wouldn't make any difference. My post was mainly on what subs I would make if the game was close i.e. with one goal in it, and, following on from an earlier post of Jayjay's, that I don't think Rodrigo is the answer to tomorrow's type of match. If Arsenal are two or more ahead, it makes little difference who we bring on.

Who the fcúk are you Joey Styles?

Never really liked ECW and he was one of the main reasons; that and the shíte people they had on it.

EV 2.0!!! Sabu, Mick Foley.

I can't be arsed googling, so who's Joey Styles? Some illiterate I presume.

[Jamster26]

Can't upload the pic for you Diana. Dam you Manny.

[jimbo_bwfc]

Back three of Almunia, Squillaci and Koscielny. It'd be stupid to say that we don't have a good chance of scoring.

The love-in between Arsenal and Bolton goes a step further with Wenger admitting Davies is  not dirty, he is committed and he respects committed players. UNBELIEVABLE JEFF!

That said, I'd much rather him be saying the exact opposite in his post match presser. It'll mean we've probably taken some points and Davies will have smashed one of their Frenchy defenders.

[Didledee]

I'm so confident we're gonna win, I actually think we can score more than once. But will stick with 1-0, sure they will cause us problems, but we must have bring some confidence in this game and we do have some match winners, Arsenal are without 4 first teamers tomorrow, sure they have Fabregas and Arshavin and co but if we can close them down and pressure them and not take too many risks we have a great chance.

Davies will upset them, and we have the quality on the wings and a bit of class ourselves in the middle, Muamba to do what he does best, and Holden to play some nice passes around.

[Manny]

We'll get trounced. They might have 3 or 4 first teamers out but they've got more than enough quality to step in. They might not have won anything for a few years but they're still up there behind Chelsea and United every year, while the likes of Liverpool faded away.

[Didledee]

I don't think we will, last season we went 2-0 up and I reckon we have a better side now than last season.

Yes we ended up losing 4-2, but if Jussi didn't just let Rosicky's shot go in just before half time, I reckon we would have gone on and won, it gave them belief and then Jussi let an easyish Fabregas shot go in , then the ref didn't send Gallas off for his dirty tackle on M.Davies.

Cut out the mistakes, don't give them time on the ball and keep letting them attack and take our chances. we will get some, even Blackpool did when they lost 6-0.

They always finish a long way behind those two and they've won as much as we have in the last five years. Their second best player is Van Persie and their third is probably the Belgian defender whose name I cannot spell. You lose your best attacker and your best defender, not to mention your overrated right winger and you may come a cropper to a nothern team filled with 'rugby' playing bastards. Yeah, Arsenal are a good team but, like us, they're nowhere near what they used to be. fcúk 'em. We have nothing to fear. Stick Muamba on Fabregas and they've got nowt.

Davies will cause them problems all afternoon and we'll give then a good arse kicking. Cone on you Whites!

Both to be honest. The Vinny Mac version was wank, although a couple of the One Night Stand matches were good, but I never liked the original if I'm honest. All the decent talent, if they were decent, ended up elsewhere anyway and the guys who stayed throughout are pretty shíte e.g. Tommy Dreamer.

When the WWE was at its highest, nobody gave a shíte about ECW.

[Chris Rabz]

If we are going to get anything, we need three things.

1. Bogdan needs to have a Jussi-style game because he WILL have to make saves.

2. We must take our chances. We won't get many, we may not get any, but if we get one, we have to make the most of it. Blackpool didn't and got punished big-style.

3. We have to score the first goal. If we do, we might get clawed back. But if we go behind this time, it will be goodbye points.

I've had a long hard think about this and despite the Walcott and RVP injuries... I just can't see us getting the win. A scabby draw maybe, but while I don't agree with Manny that we will get battered - I do ultimately think we'll get beat.

Despite what I put in the prediction league (3-0 Gunners).

[Batman]

I can't remember if I went 0-4 or 0-3.....
