The game comes in the same month that we play City, Chelsea and Liverpool as well as (hopefully) two legs of the League Cup semi final

I expect to see us get whipped down at the Liberty with Djourou, Yennaris, Miquel, Flapper, the Chamster, the lazy Russian and co. all performing to their usual levels of ineptitude.

In 2 weeks we'll draw Barca whores/Madrid/Dortmund/Valencia all of who willl bum us, if(and right now it is if) we get past Bradford, I'm not looking forward to being drawn against Norwich or Swansea over 2 legs in the C1 cup. :(

Was really hoping for a decent run in the cup.....oh well never mind see, what next year's 3rd round draw brings. :cry:

The season is over by the 1st week in January. That's going to be pretty special even for us. :oops:

Yip, this is the time of the season when Wengers incompetence reaches it's peak as he swaps and changes line ups without a fucking notion as to what he is doing.

Swansea!!! Is somebody taking the piss? Is the coach going to go via Wrexham, Swindon, Walsall and maybe Loughborough, just for old times sake!

TBF this would not be an upset on the scale of those you quote. After all they are above us in the league. :twisted: :oops:

Yes the tie is a couple of months away, but considering we have been playing mostly shit for over 3 months now, there's not too much cause for optimism.

I still think we've played <10 acceptable halves of football in the whole season to date.

And in terms of top quality, apart from the 2nd half of West Ham away, has there been ANY other time where we've hit a really high level throughout the whole half? I say no. Reading, Scum, Liverpool arguably.

Take away West Ham, Liverpool and Southampton, and possibly City, and we've disappointed every game to varying degrees. 4 good performances out of 22. And that's with the added factors of Southampton being absolute dog turd and us contriving to blow a golden opportunity to beat City away by defending set pieces shite (again) and playing Forehead Wanker up top. And if anybody suggests that Reading can be construed on the whole as a good performance ... :box: :box:
