My two penneth?

I say there is no way that anyone can seriously come on this thread and feel confident about any prediction they wish to make. It is currently not possible to call any game in which we feature. We are the new coupon buster.

Therefore Saturday's outcome is a total mystery.

Only certainty is that Wenger is finished unless he was to get Dein back, and even then I think it is probably all too late now.

Bolton can be had at 9.5 for the win. Crazy odds. Defo worth sticking a oner on that. Arsenal are bloody lucky Klasnic is suspended because he knows exactly what Mertesacker's weaknesses are (having frequently rinsed him in training at Werder I believe)....Klasnic would have slammed Mertesacker if fit tomorrow.

Kevin Davies will bully the 'defence' (LOL) in any case but best I can see Wenger FC getting here is a draw.

I have to agree with this, it came up in a conversation I had today with a Man U fan (from London of course). We are shite, no doubt, but it's always possible that we could put a run together. Perhaps the signings will settle in, blah blah. I said I could see us finishing 5th-15th, but couldn't predict with more accuracy than that.

Yeah well done mate, you have basically covered every option there!!!
If we win you will say its because Klasnic was not playing, if we lose you will say its cos Davies bullied our defence and if we draw you will say you predicted it! Quality!

Is their dog-scoffer fit? He'll turn whoever we play at LB inside out if he is playing.

Davies will injure one of our CBs so I hope TV isn't playing. Let him wipe out Kalamity Koscielny or Dire Djourou.

After 5 games, Bolton are the worst team in the league - they've lost their last 4 premier league games.

However, they have scored in 7 of the last 10 meetings against us and since 2001 only twice (from 11 visits) have they failed to score at our place.

I have no idea what to think of. Ideally the team would be more settled defensivly and would perform better, but as fucked as things are at the moment...

If we don't concede or the players grow some balls and know how to react properly when we do, we win, if we we get trapped in that ridiculous attitude we've been showcasing at the premiership, then we're fucked.

I can't see us losing this game, both teams are in bad positions but we're the home team with a better team than Bolton. I'd be very surprised if we didn't win.

I should imagine that a certain Kevin Davies is looking forward to this!

I think they have only won one of their last 10 league matches!! Should be a fairly even game then. :oops: :lol: :lol: :wink:
