I hope the showers are freezing,the benches are uncomfortable,and the heating in the changing room is either off or ramped right up. :barscarf:
There are apparently only 4 showers and it is quite hard to get the water out of them, as the shower heads are partly blocked :lol:

The boiler has nearly packed up and so the heating will be ramped right up - and considering how hot it is outside today then that won't be much fun :lol:

Oh and the walls are painted brown :D
They concreted in the bath to make more room - apparently at our request. :lol:
Now there's an opportunity missed...could buried a few un-wanted persons in there at the same time. :lol: :wink:

I'm outside the ground.
Place is heaving already.

Not quite sure how Arsenal will get the coach in the car park. Wenger and the team will have to walk through hundreds of beered up locals :lol: to get into the ground.

God help them getting back to the coach if this goes wrong.. Stoke Train Station will seem like a little banter.

If they lose this tonight, which I honestly think they just could manage to do, then they should be fucking walking back home or going on the night bus.

There is quite a "welcome commitee" here for Wenger now

Only problem there is probably a lot of Chelsea here who will give him a cheer :|

Hardly headline news, but absolutely no chance of losing this tonight, it will just be a question of how many, seriously.

I have played on this ground in a kick-about, and the surface is brilliant, and will suit us a lot more than some patchy pot-holed excuse for a pitch.

I am going to back at least 6. The standard at the bottom of this league is not that great, and I have watched a few games. The odd bit of talent, bit physical, mostly long hopeful balls. They should tire quickly as well.

I suppose it depends on the team, but with no match until March now, should be a very strong 11.

I guess they want the ball whizzing across the surface, surely that will suit us rather than them
