Arsenal v Man United

good post. i have to agree with you about having a slight feeling of dread. im sure i speak for alot of gooners when i say its been very hard not to get carried away with the results this season and it will be harder not to get carried away if we take the 3 points tommorow. my brother in law (a liverpool fan) is comming to the game tommorow and seeing as every game he has been to at ashburton grove we have taken home the points (including liverpool and man utd last season) i have to say the futures bright... the future red and white

Come on lads lets have a bit of optimism. We have shown we can more than handle our own in big games, so we shouldn't have any fears about facing the mancs tomorrow. If Daddybayor can find his scoring boots again we could give United a well deserved thumping. Over the past few weeks they have been hammering poor teams (calling them poor is being kind), but their defense has looked VERY shaky at times. If we get an early goal I could see us winning 2-0 or 3-1 easily.

I realize people are going to say that I should not be negative but I don"t feel we will do it tomorrow and I am not feeling too good about the game. I hope I am wrong and we do it. I really hope we can keep doing what we are doing.

All the analysis above points to a very close game. I think it will be soo close it will be boring. Both teams are already talking about the 2 Arse Manure games as deciding the premireship so will not want to lose. I am going for 0-0 or more likely 1-1.

However my 12 yo who is normally far more pessimistic than we is going for 3-1!!

Just getting our shirts on an heading to N5. See you at Block 30 after the game. Ray parlour is going to be there.

He is good that singer, he was brillant at the Ed Kelly one & the only question i heard was a answer from Ray talking about him & Keown in 2004 with the prem medel & the warm up haha classic, think Smith is doing it next time now

Stood at the back and couldn't hear a word just a lot of noise. Don't know if it is a crap sound system or the acoustics, being surrounded by concrete. RP seemed to be enjoying himself though.

I was actually pretty disappointed with our performance
thank god billy saved us

personally I wouldn't give almunia another chance
my hand still hurts - I 4got the underside of my seat wasn't padded like the top
swung a 'toysfrompram' tantrum punch at it
and hurt the knees of the bloke behind me and my knuckles

inexcusably poor (my behaviour and almunias goalkeepin)

Ray was great on Sky 'Goals on Sunday' even answering questions about the Romford Pele - can't quite remember the reason though - and great watching the re-runs of 'that goal' in Cardiff. "It's only Ray Parlour" :D :D :evil:
