We are relying on a 19-year-old kid to run our side. Because you can be sure the rest of them won't give a f*ck. Everytime we've had to win this season they've c0cked up. I see no different this time round.

Our defence can't cope with players attacking on all fronts. We'll be tanked 4-1. After recent performances, we'll struggle to win any of our remainings games.

This game is of huge importance, we do need to cement second place as well as stopping these cretins getting into the champions league this season. Also I still haven't got over that 3-2 loss earlier this season..I can't see it sadly...we'll lose 2-1.

Given up on them. Going to watch the classico instead, not worth the stress. Until they start playing with 110% commitment they can all fuck off.

I agree with all of you and it breaks my heart to say it but I think Wednesday night we're going to get badly found out, sperz will come at us as a hyena does when it sees a wounded animal, it'll be their cup final after the Real Madrid games. There's a very strong possibility of losing our top 4 status and let's face it, this has been coming. The Wenger equation does NOT work and has to change, how that change arrives I'm not sure but without it we're heading downhill fast.

big game always
unfortunately not as big as it should be
I'll not be there for the first time in many years (seen most of our away defeats this season and our last two derby defeats)

if the league title really is gone, mathematically no but our ability to snatch draws from the jaws of victory doesn't make anyone feel positive
then a draw is a decent result I guess...

a dull boring 0-0 is the best we can hope for.

Call me a mug but I have a sneaky feeling we might do better than most people think in this game. My dodgy reasoning goes a bit like this -

We have fucked up our chance of the title and the whole season. No one is now going to be paying that much attention as they all know that the mancs have the league sown up. The players know this and might start playing without that fear of failure. Everyone thinks they are a bunch of bottlers and therefore they might find a bit of fight for the one chance we have of salvaging a little bit of pride from this end of season. I am gonna stick my neck on the line and go for a 0-2 win.

Now ..... call me a mug :wink:
