They seem fairly decent, have played well so far this season. We are managed by Wanker, so three points to them or a turgid draw.

Wenger can thank his lucky stars it's not the high flying Hull, home or away.

Of course if we did lose to them Wenger would point out that they beat the Champions so........

Lads this is Watford we are playing not one of europe's superclubs - I know that we aint anywhere near top quality, but we are facing a Watford team that doesn't seem to be as good as last seasons, and who will be real contenders for the drop imo

Well, they ran Chelsea pretty close yesterday.

For all the good work that was done, with the away fans singing "Wenger Out" yesterday, it will be a distant memory when we hammer these next weekend. The AKB'S will be in full voice, and wanker will smugly claim, he sees no reason to buy for the sake of it. The international break will also provide a distraction from the debate over his future. By mid-September, the calls for Wenger to leave will be all but gone.

I'll be cruising at 37,000 feet hopefully as relaxed as old Shit for Brains cruising on £8m a year

Another tepid draw - either 0-0 or 1-1 - 2 points from 3 games before National Trolley Dash Day the following week

At this stage Augie I don't expect us to beat anyone ,we should beat watford but I now go into these games thinking we will lose so if we then do win it's a bonus,and it's down to 1 man that's destroyed any joy I get out of watching us. :(

Have to agree with McD on this one, i have no expectation of beating anyone these days, our turgid performances especially against teams who can park the bus and then counter makes me think Watford might not be the walkover we should expect.

Some of our players shouldn't be anywhere near the team, some of them look like they couldn't give a fcuk if they are playing or not and the rest look like headless chickens half the time.... we should win but i'm expecting no more than a draw in all honesty, and we all know the reason for it :banghead:

Speaking to a mate of mine who went to the game yesterday he reckons we could have played till midnight without scoring, so I'd be inclined to agree. If he persists with this nonsense experiment of Alexis as the lone striker not only will he get so fucked off that he'll leave, we won't score many at all. As for Wally and the Lamppost.....I think we all know how many goals they are likely to score

Similarly at the other end we're a Koscielny injury away from being utterly fucked, and without him and without a new striker I'd also agree that I wouldn't feel confident going into any game home or away. The new TV deal has ensured that even Palarse, Watford and the like can go and spend big and with our clown at the helm we might finally be entering a repeat of the last 2 GG seasons where we become a mid-table boring crock of shit with money in the bank

This is the first season where I have ever thought we may not finish top four

Let's also not forget that Watford won at the Emirates just five months ago. This is far from an away banker.

Well, they ran Chelsea pretty close yesterday.
And came to ours and dumped us out of the latter stages of the FA Cup.

No easy games this season. Mind you a couple of the big guns might pencil us in as a dead cert banker. Mourinho for one.....

Get Walcott out of the team put Giroud back up front, and move Sanchez back out to his normal position, and get a new CB in as quick as possible, followed by a striker who can score 25+ goals a season

Wenger you have not got a fucking clue......fuck off out of my club
