I will b at the game saturday, cant wait as it is my 1st away day this season but saying that im not excally confident of getting a result.
I will also be getting up early doors to catch the 6am coach, i hope the players are aware of this, all i ask is they compete and battle.

Im worried what the team is going to look like because on the website it said cesc (knee), cilchy (hamstring i think), sagna (flu) and kolo (calf) all doubts along with naz (ankle) being out for 2/3weeks.

We going to have no width to our game what-so-ever!!! denilson and diaby are NOT wide men how ever much wenger thinks they are.

alumina

sagna

gallas

djouruo

chilchy

diaby

song

fabs

denilson

rvp

ade

Cmon arsenal 2-0 win!!!

I will say we have the mental strength to win this game 2-0. If we disappoint it will be the last time I have faith in this team.

I think boro will be full of confidence playing us, they'll get the first goal within 30 minutes and then go ultra defensive.

So yes i can see us lose again but i hope we don't. At the end of the day i just want every player to give 100% and to have our midfield play like one. Fabs is our key and the other night proved that even more so.

Good luck with that one!

2-1 to Boro.

The good thing is they have problems of their own, theyâ€™ve only won once in last 6 matches and threw away a lead last week. Just need to score first 20 minutes. Trouble is, we always look like we need to concede before we wake up.

Obviously he wonâ€™t but Wenger should start with Wilshere on the left. We basically donâ€™t have anyone else available at the moment who is willing to go down the line. And lets be honest, he would tie Hoyte up in knots. Heâ€™ll probably just play Silvestre there thoughâ€¦

2-0 to the Gunners.

Not gonna suggest a team. We all know Wenger will keep faith in the crap players that are his favourites. He won't give a chance to the younger players.

As to the score it will be 3-0 (not sure which way, depends which Arsenal turn up)

Yankee_Gooner_Dandee · Sat Dec 13, 2008 3:16 am

My guess is:

Almunia
Sagna Gallas Djourou Clichy
Eboue Fabregas Song Denilson
Van Persie Adebayor.

2-0 to the gunners.

Tallest Gooner. That's about the same midfield we had against Stoke, and Toure's forward runs were our most dangerous attacking option. It's bad enough when we field a midfield of 3 central midfielders and a right back but the idea of playing 4 central midfielders is a joke beyond belief. At least Eboue can add a bit of width and make a forward run without the ball at his feet.

If all our wide players are injured, why not play Vela or Jack there? Or in fact, just about anyone who actually is a wide player.

Depending on who's fit I'd like to see,

Fabianski Prefer him to Almunia anyday
Sagna .And I want to see him getting back to his attacking ways again
Gallas (If fit)
Djourou
Clichy
Wilshere There is no reason whatsoever why not, is there? He's better than any other fit wide player available
Fab (If fit)
Diaby (Well, play him in his real position or don't play him at all I say)
Vela Wenger wanted to play Walcott as a wide player to help him become a better striker in the future, while Vela can't get games as a striker..why not do the same with him?
RvP Not really his type of game but always dangerous and the only one who's got the ability to score goals out of nowhere.
Ade, Despite that he'l frustrate us all for most of the game, he does score goals, sometimes.
