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.
if they can beat Liverpool, they can trouble us especially if we think we just have to turn up or the players have been listening to and believing Theo's rantings about how good we are. They have everything to play for.
This lot are no worse than Stoke or Swansea, who both beat us, & have a lot to play for so I don't think it will be easy. Any one goal win will do but I think they will score. 2-1 or 3-2 to us.
I can never understand why some people always predict us to win 2 or 3-0, especially after the struggle we had against Reading. I think we will win, but it will be tough, 2-1.

I think the fact that he refer's to both stoke and Swansea shows that position in the league table is sometimes irrelevant and they are certainly not one off games. Actually you could also point to the fact that hull also drew with us at the grove
it'll be a tricky one. they will start with plenty of intensity, as do most cannon fodder sides at home against bigger sides. they will start singing "same old arsenal" etc whenever one of their english diving wankers goes over, or when alexis gets scythed by rick waller's son. we will go two quickfire goals in the second, hull will score to make it nervy with ten minutes to go. we will hold out and win 2-1, get your bets on
They will be fighting for their (Prem) lives AND for revenge for the FA Cup Final defeat last season - They will do all and everything, which includes kicking lumps out of our players - so we need a ref who won't bottle it - we also need to match their 'intensity' from the start - set the pace of the game - Fast - Fourth Gear - and keep that pace constant - score a goal and then another and then another till they fold.
