Should win this at home surely!

Interesting fact for you guys:- In Sheffield there are 4 trees for every person, and that is the highest ratio of trees to people for any city in Europe :typing:

One of the fittest, best organised teams in the league. Fantastic work rate and attitude but also zip the ball around at a high pace - been very impressed every time I've seen them. Of course it helps having hundreds of millions to spend and a trendy manager from Portugal to achieve it...... :banghead:

The huge improvement set to continue as we draw 1-1 again

This is going to be a tough game against a very well organised team.With Torriera playing 1-0 without 1-1.Interesting fact no 2 Sheffield is the only place where humans can get Dutch Elm Disease.

Regardless of the Arsenal starting line-up (Especially now without the player who has kept us out of the relegation battle - Auba ) if we do not turn up from the very first second Armed and Ready to Fight for the whole game they will beat us. They are incredibly well organised, they close down fast, they are physical; bordering on dirty and so we will need our "A" Game.

Arteta really has got his work cut out.

I'm waiting for someone to mention "home game" and should "sweep them aside"...… Are there still fans that believe we are capable of that, that the Emirates is some sort of fortress?? :shock: :? :oops:

It's a home game so I think we'll sweep them aside in Fortress Emirates.








Or lose 1-2. :wink:

Of course on top of our shit defence we now have the added problem of no goalscorer for this game. Unless Laca suddenly stops firing blanks or Martinelli bags a couple we are going to struggle to a dour nil all..... or lose 1-0. :|

Mike Dean is the ref for the match, it is now an 11 v 12 game.
