Hopefully the lacklustre proformance on Tuesday night was only a blip, if we play like that against this crowd I think we will drop at least 2 points. That said I don't think we will, I'll go for a 2-1 win

I'm going for a 2-1 win. RVP to keep up his scoring form and Bomber (SuperNic) to get a second late on if he's playing.

Hopefully this will all have followed a draw between the mancs and scousers putting us 2 points behind United. Who have Chelsea got this weekend?

Yea it is. Just checked and if Chelsea draw and Liverpool win we can go 1 point behind top, with a game in hand. V optimistic but still not bad at all!!!

I'd normally take a point from Upton Park, what with it being a London derby and usually a tricky game. However, with Chelsea and Man City likely to achieve home wins against Blackburn and Fulham respectively - along with the Liverpool/Man Utd game offering points for the other title rivals - it's paramount to get the win to fully capitalise on the top sides dropping points last weekend.

Prediction: West Ham 1-2 Arsenal.

confident in the win although havent seen much of west ham other than cole flapping at a few chances early on...

if we play our usual way we win... thats just the way it goes.

3 nil to the arsenal. we dont do 2-1's anymore

By Richard Clarke

ArsÃ¨ne Wenger will wait until after Saturdayâ€™s training session before deciding whether Nicklas Bendtner is fit enough to return for Arsenalâ€™s game at West Ham on Sunday.
The Dane missed the draw at Alkmaar in midweek because of a groin injury and, on Thursday, his manager rated both him and Tomas Rosicky (knee) as 50:50 for the Upton Park clash.
At his press conference a day later, Wenger revealed the Czech midfielder is out but Bendtnerâ€™s involvement is still in the balance.
â€œBefore training we thought Rosicky would be 50:50,â€

We will concede just hope we play better than Alkmaar

Can see us getting a 1-1 draw but if we get an early goal and keep the ball well we will win 3-1

Got a Spammer season ticket holder working opposite me, he reckons we'll win 4-0, so that'll be 4-1 then.....

To be honest, can only see a win on this one. Dont think we have anything to be worried about, Spammers have been playing from bad to worse as the season has gone on and show no kind of sign of improving. We wont keep a clean sheet tho as we never seem to any more - 4-1 (at least)
