As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Took my allocated seat when I went there.
If you are driving up, watch out for the chancers who wear orange vests and point you into a car park as you get near the ground.
They are not official, and will rip you off.
Drive around a bit and look for the cheapest space, you might even find a free one.
or Park near Oxford Road Station and take the train in. its only two stops. it also helps you avoid the traffic after the game. go down Oxford Road/A34
Giroud will be utter pants in a big game as usual. Wally will come on and be anonymous. Sanchez will probably score but all for nought as our wingers masquarading as full-backs will once again show about as much positional sense as a bull on heat.
Dont really care too much about the results of too many of our games recently (pissed off with this virtual trophy bollox ), but this game is different on soooo many levels - over here there are so many manure fans it makes me sick and the thought of listening to them crowing b.astards is the stuff of nightmares I also would really enjoy turning up the heat on that arrogant dutch cock that is managing them - stevie wonder can see that he is balls'ing up that job, but he is still lecturing everybody that his way is right Finally win this and their season is over - they might scrape 4th but the prospect of no trophy again this season will be a hammer blow and will provide some real enjoyment to millions of footie fans all over the world
That said I agree with mc that I expect it to be a draw on monday night, and they will do us in the replay
Sadly I predict a roll over pussy performance. They,and all the other 'big' teams, know how fragile we are. Does my fucking head in.....the days of Overmars/Wiltord up there long gone I'm afraid
In the minority here i know, but i reckon we will win and win convincingly. When we played spuds last month i just felt that we would lose due to their hunger as underdogs and the motivation to gain some form of revenge for our ongoing and usual superiority. I also felt that the law of averages will sooner than later kick in and work against us.
For the above reasons i feel that Monday will belong to us.
I think our mental block will kick in and they'll walk out easy winners. They know that this is their last big game of the season unless they win it. therefore, as they're at home they'll come at us and we'll shit ourselves. Rooney will take a dive somewhere and the media will say he didn't.

3-1 to Manure
This. ^^ Every word. Particularly the mental block bit. It's been there since the 8-2 and I can't see any team managed by current day Wenger getting past that mental block.
the shit run against big teams will continue,wenker will sit on the bench and do fuck all as we go out of the cup,the sad thing is utd are utter utter shit and yet they will still beat us

This also ^^. The thing that grinds me (possibly) the most is the way he sits there looking frustrated but does fuck all about it. The Monaco manager was up in his technical area, altering the system, moving players, constantly cajoling and advising - even at 1-3!
Don't lose hope yet.......was just saying to my son this morning that evans getting suspended would be bad news for us, but he suggested that phil jones would be his replacement so all is not lost yet
