Had to laugh at this Many a true word spoken in jest!

Sadly there is a huge part of me (my arse) that thinks this is likely to happen. Sorry OBG.
If we are lucky it will end up in a turgid draw with city city missing a bag full of chances, if we are really lucky it will end in 1-0 win with Welbeck scoring on his debut, if we are really really really lucky Wenger will watch Sanogoals run around the training pitch like some demented dog trying to catch his tail and decide enough is enough and resign.
I think we all know our new winger Danny Welbeck will need a bit of time to settle in, so let's be patient and hope he can fire in a few crosses for Sanogoals to scuff.

Anyhow have no idea what the score will be, city lost recently and looked pretty inept, we drew recently and looked pretty inept.
I'm going for a 3-3 über draw
Yep, tbh I'm getting that impression a bit too. I would say however it's one or two rather than a fair few. And tbh I can't understand that attitude.
For me, I live every day knowing Wenger is now the wrong man to take Arsenal forward, but hoping beyond hope that he proves me wrong. Last season he proved one of my main arguments very wrong in that I firmly believed we would NEVER win another trophy under him. And yes I know many will say "but it was ONLY the FA Cup and we scraped it against a shit team..." I agree we didn't set that final alight and were a tad lucky but I disagree about it being ONLY the FA Cup as I still love the cup. But the point is it was a trophy and I was delighted he proved me wrong on that one.
I have no ego invested in any of this. I just want what's best for The Arsenal.

You're giving him too much credit, here - won't make contact.

FFS give the lad a chance - Look, he is used to playing Sunday Pub League Twelve Football and is used to pitch that resembles a ploughed field - and not the smoothe sheen perfect surface that The Arsenal ply their trade on - hence he keeps kicking thin air because he is waiting for the ball to bobble and bounce and ricochet over his head...I'm sure once he realises that he isn't playing on a field also used for motorcross and donkey derbies - he will adjust accordingly - and then be even worse.
I NEVER want us to lose - And whilst i can (almost) understand some Gooners wanting us to - because they think it will hasten AW's departure - I honestly believe that unless we find ourselves fighting relegation - we are sadly stuck with him till 2017 - whether we win or lose....and so knowing we won't win the Prem Tile under him, at least by winning most games lends some kind of consolation to the pain and frustration of wenger sticking around rather than fecking off like many want him to.
