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.
Nailed on defeat and will follow the usual pattern. 2 down before ht, slight improvement in second half and pull a goal back about 60 minutes and maybe miss one more gilt edged chance (Forehead or Wally)
Won't affect our VT chances though. The luckiest man in football is destined to win it yet again and get his new contract

can't see us getting more than 3 points from this game

I can't see the point of this pessimism.
When Manure play like we did against Fulham everyone says something like ' It's a sign of a great team that they still fashion a win when they play badly'. When we do it they say 'Arsenal played rubbish'.
We WILL win next week, despite what The Devil Hanson , The Devil Shearer and the prophets of doom say.
Don't forget either S***s or Chelsea will lose points as they have to play each other.
3-1 to The Arsenal, can't really give any reasonable logic for the optimism other than my tea leaves at the bottom of my cup this morning spelt out "Arsenal 3-1 Man Utd" Well that's how I read it
Spend the week spouting rubbish about how we are mentally prepared for it and how we'll give everything we can to win the game.
Fast paced start for us with the crowd up for it, 1-0 down within 10 minutes due to an indivdual defensive error after their first attack (I'll go Sagna), 2-0 down by half time with Rooney getting his obligutary Emirates goal as they control it comfortably.
The majority of the 2nd half will be spent by us trying to force the game but in reality never working their keeper as they still control it without breaking sweat, we'll scramble an ugly goal though from a set piece to give us hope before they kill us off almost straight after on the break with a 3rd from Van Persie.
The game I used to look forward to more than any other, and now the one where I can barely bring myself to watch. Sit back and watch us give them the freedom to tear us apart and go 2 goals up after 30 mins or so.
No doubt Lord Cockface will still declare that we are not very far away from being at their level
In the pub for this one, the final game of my Cat A boycott for this season & it feels fucking great. I won't be giving those fuckers a penny to watch Utd celebrate the title, i'll spend half the money I would if i went in the ground, i'll drink beer for 90 mins+. Fantastic!
Wouldn't it be nice if Whisky nose could send out a team to coast the game in 2nd half and gift a 3-1.
Unlikely, they will play within themselves. We will score from Poldi, then 2nd half Judas Fc will rouse from their slumber into sub 1st gear get a goal and in our desperation to get a winner, we will get done on the counter, Rafael will skin Monreal 1-2.
Job done. 5th here we come. Nice away games in the back of beyond of Europe and no more 3pm kick offs.....'rubs his hand with delight'
