I don't think he should rest anyone unless we are 3 nil up at any point!! Its the Premier League! It's what the players are paid to play in and Hull will be no walkover, we should treat them with respect, they've only lost once this season and should have beaten Everton last week. The players have all had a week off, that's plenty of time for a top athelete!

Team will msot probably be:

Almunia

Sagna Toure Gallas Clichy

Theo Cesc Denilson Nasri (if fit)

Adebayor RVP


Personally I'd like to see

Almunia

Sagna Toure Gallas Gibbs

Theo Cesc Denilson Nasri

Bendtner Vela

Hull have had a good start and any newly promoted team coming to us will run their socks off, I think if we get an early goal then we could run away with it, but we cant look at this and say easy 3 points..

I predict a 2-0 win

The team: ( I would like to see)

Almunia

Sagna Toure Gallas Clichy

Theo Cesc Denilson Nasri

RVP Bendtner

But Eboue will prob start because he scored last week :roll:

Almunia

Sagna Toure Gallas Clichy

Eboue Cesc Denilson Nasri

RVP Adebayor


He'll look to bring Theo on to run at tired legs. Win 2-1.

More importantly, who will be in the Rocket after? :bestmates:

I'd love to see Theo, Nasri, Vela, and Cesc alll on the pitch at the same time, but I doubt it will happen. :(

One thing though, I hate these 5.30 kos. It ruins the day completely. Can't do anything during the day and go to the ground in the evening like a 7.45 ko, and the evening is bolloxed as I won't get home until about 9.30. :banghead:

Think we'll line up like this -

almunia

sagna kolo gallas silvestre ( :banghead: )

theo cesc denilson eboue

bedtner rvp

subs :

fab
djouru
greddybayor
vela
clichy
wilshire
ramsey

Obviously I am not saying that is the team that I would pick myself but I think wenger will use clichy's injury and the porto game tues night as an excuse to get silvestre in :roll: You can use the same reasoning for leaving nasri out if he is even in the squad. If I was picking the team myself I would have vela in for rvp and ramsey in for denilson but what do I know :wink: Fcul it I would go the whole hog and start djouru for gallas as well 8) :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

I do think we'll win (obviously) but I also believe that we will concede a goal so 2-1 or 3-1 for me

If we dont take our foot off the gas as we normally do when we go 2 or 3 up i can see us scoring at least 5.Hope i havent cursed them now.
Would like to see Vela get a half hour.

I am worried about this. Their 'Manager' is from the Bolton school of 'thought' as this indicates :-

Hull have made a bright start in the Premier League having collected eight points from five games but Brown is well aware his side would struggle to match Arsenal on technical ability alone.

Brown said: "For me the Kevin Davies tackle, there was nothing wrong with that.

"If you take that out of the game Hull City might as well not play at the Emirates on Saturday.

"If you allow Arsenal to dictate that tackle goes out of the game, then we are finished.

"We have got that tackle on our side - they have got the technical side of the game on their side.

"If they are allowed to express that technical side without tackling, without physical contact, we might as well not turn up."



We can ill afford any more injuries and the more we play our football the more the sledgehammer practioners of 'Frankenstein Football' of which Brown is an obvious devotee, will seek to kick and maim our players as a point of first resort.

And if they succeed they'll be the minimum of media criticism and it'll further encourage others to do the same.

Also Nasri is out AGAIN ! Have we acquired another Rosicky ?

Is it me or does the HUll coach officially announced that they are going to kick us around the pitch ?

Basically he's saying: "if we try playing football against them we'll loose for sure! SO we plan on kicking them and tackling them. It will either scare them, which is good, or maybe even hurt them which would be even better!"


Now if I see another tackle a la Davies this week-end, and no reaction from the F.A I swear I'll send 5 tons of napalm on their fuck faces! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

as for the team wenger will play i think it will be.

almunia
sagna
gallas
kolo
clichy
walcott
denilson
fabregas
eboue
van persie (he is still fit!)
adebayor

subs: fabianski,silvestre,vela,bendtner,ramsey,song (if fit), wiltshere

I do have a sneak feeling tho wenger will possibly rest a cb and play silvestre in there :shock:
