Gut feeling says we'll paste them! Don't think they'll handle the pressure of being favourites to win a game like this. 4-1 :barscarf:

I've been very critical of Campbell, for a long time he looked like a terrified rabbit, but of late he looks more confident, he's always worked hard and, despite being totally one-footed, he can, at least, dribble, beat a man and cross (like we used to hope Theo would be able to do one day).

I'd like to see him and Alexis swapping wings during the match; but it's rock or a hard place up top.

Play Theo and the Leics back 4 will have to drop deeper and give us more space in midfield, but at the cost of defending set pieces with the oompa loompahs.
Play the French lampost to correct that, but lose the point of having any fast players, and make even Huth look like Usain Bolt.

I'd rather neither of them, maybe Alexis in a false 9 role with an extra midfielder. No doubt AW will set us up perfectly.
Not the worst idea to have Alexis up front given the hideous form of both wally and Giroud, if so maybe move Ramsey forward and Elneny and Coq in the middle , any chance of Welbeck even making the bench

Depends how his woodworking classes are going.

There is caution, and there is downright self-hate. And saying We dont stand a chance at home to Leicester City is self-hatred.

Of course we could beat Leicester City this week.

That is NOT self hatred. It is lack of belief, lack of confidence. And who can blame us?? Because you think you cannot do something doesn't mean you hate yourself.

It really is pushing the boundaries of self-loathing when you dont think we can beat Leicester City at home. Sure it will be tough, and sure e might not win, but the chances of winning are greater than the chances of losing.

Leicester are 4/1 to win on Saturday. You sure enough to throw a large quantity of money on it?

bloody hell that is a tempting price.
just forget for a minute who they are - this is a team who are smashing everyone they play and are 5 points clear at the top

Self-hatred is for spurs fans.

Saying you don't fancy us to best Leicester is a completely acceptable opinion.

Saying we haven't got a chance of beating them is absolute rubbish.

LC to be winning 2-1 in the 88th minute we score an equalizer. Wenger says after the game that the team showed mental strength and willingness and that we fought hard.


But it still means we're basically out of the title.

Without the need for this much vaunted "30 years working in football" I can safely say we will win, lose or draw this game. 8)

Tbh I'm surprised you haven't already put a bet on them.
