Sounds about right, plus the familiar fixture pile up at this time of the season is always amusing, as Wenger gets himself into a whole kerfuffle with team selections.

God knows what will happen. Could be another replay. If we go with the right attitude we will have no problems.

oh great :( and now all we need is Kos to get a little bruise and it will be Santos, Santos, Santos time :barscarf: :banghead:
He was dismal last night (santos). I don't understand how he merits a first team spot.

I expect a win in this one, but we will probably concede. 3-1 win. I think that the players will be up for this.

these lot will be dangerous, if we get in with a lead at HT that should be enough for us.
If you score first you'll win.

We haven't come from behind to win a game since August 2011 (First ever game at the new stadium)

Ahh, but when it comes to creating unwanted records mate we're the masters. First team ever to surrender a 4-0 lead in a Premiership game. We could be swatting you 3-0, but just fling in a couple of half decent corners and if you've got anyone over the height of 5'6" who can jump then just make sure they stick to our non-jumping German Willie Young. Put anyone with more physical strength than a sparrow up aganst Kosicleny too. If you pull 1 goal back then watch the panic that follows. If Reading can create 20 mins of blind panic in a game we were winning 4-0 then I'm sure you can

Watch out for our beast from Montpellier though - if he's on song you'd better hide behind your seat (only for fear of one of his headers connecting with you up in the stand)

Not Jack, he will surely be rested. My guess? Sagna. Or if he is rested Big Per.

She wore, she wore, she wore a yellow ribbon, she wore a yellow ribbon in the merry month of May, and when, I asked, oh why she wore that ribbon, she said it's for the Arsenal and we're going to Wembley, WEMBLEEEEY, WEMBLEEEEY, WE'RE THE FAMOUS ARSENAL AND WE'RE GOING TO WEMBLEY, WEMBLEEEEY, WEMBLEEEEY :barscarf:
