Manure v Arsenal

[flash gunner]

Have we got any 17 year olds we can throw in like last season just to ensure their confidence is properly shattered before their careers have begun ?

Im sure we'll find someone somewhere

Although this time around I suppose we haven't got our match of the century in Udine to contend with, but then again we do have the all exciting CL return against Sch.......zzzzzzzz...........zzzzzzz..........zzzzzzz........zzzzzz

[piresistible]

in principal I disagree with wanting your own team to lose.
but in our current situation - sponsorship deals to be renewed in 2014 - dropping out of the CL would be disastrous.
Even if you want Wenger to go
wanting the next manager to have no money seems to me foolish in the extreme..

True say...it's pretty unfortunate that juggernaut they call diaby is out for this one

Schalke is a great game, against proper opposition from a quality league
Liverpool and Sperz would love to dismiss that kind of match as boring
I'm looking forward to that trip (1st time to Gelsenkirchen) and visiting Prawnville for the millionth time
Not sure the purpose of dismissing the Udinese game - the season showed it was more important winning that game than the ManUre one. Was a good performance in a high pressure atmosphere.
We'll need that kind of bottle v ManUre.

I think Arteta can absolutely fulfil the Bousquets role, with Jack as Xavi and Santi-Iniesta.
The hard bit is making our wide forwards work like Barca's do .

ManUre have no defensive midfielder and everyone's predicting they will batter us...

FFS MODs - if you're going to ban Red Member can you at least make sure he hasn't got access to HighburyJD's login details

I never believed Red was real

but sadly enough agreed with him on the importance of the Udinese game (if not Feo's World Class quality)
twas a monster of a match - that was instantly forgotten once we won it

ManUre away won't be - this can be a season defining moment

Nothing will ever remove the pain and shame of the 8-2 at Old Trafford mate. Truly one of my worst ever memories of being a Gooner. Nice banner though

[highburyJD]

I can almost guarantee I had a worse time than you
my day was Dante's 11th level of hell
(never stopped singing though)

Were you anywhere close to those delightful young ladies with the banner ?

[highburyJD]

no, only saw that on TV.
I was on a stag do in Brighton from the Friday - hadn't slept. Just retained consciousness by standing swaying and retching on virtually train to Gatwick. Flew to Manchester - my cousins had somehow found the worst curryhouse in England.
Drank, spewed, ate, spewed, drank, spewed, shat, drank, spewed
match... well you know what happened

horrific

then later in the month my cousins (who had let me down more than once on away tickets theyd 'bought')
phone me because they heard we got a refund and wanted their money

that was a truly hellish experience - but the CL beating at the Grove was a much worse feeling
as was the CL robbery at Anfield.
In fact folding like bitches at Sunderland in the cup was probably worse (missed last train home).

Why do we do it to ourselves...?
Maybe I should just sell my 3 to ManUre...
(but it could be an all time great victory... it's the hope that kills you, not the despair)

[SteveO 35]

the CL robbery at Anfield.

Ahh, but thanks for reminding me of that one. Another in the long list of 'a masterclass with Abou Diaby'. The great man was as imperious as ever that night

[highburyJD]

Hleb was awesome in the home game. Kuyt blatantly hauls him down to stop what would have been an all-time great CL goal.
Kuyt's mate from back home decides to let it go.
Still screwing, scandalous robbery.

If we look like scoring on Saturday we can prob expect more of the same from webb...

I already known in advance of any away game at Old Trafford or the Nou Camp we'll either have a man sent off or a penalty awarded against us. Just prepare yourself for it to happen - its inevitable.

Howard Webb.. why am I not surprised
we are so, so,
