Can never tell what Arsenal is going to turn up so trying to look at it objectively.

The bookies have us as strong favourites today. They usually get it right.

Plenty of value in a Fulham bet @ 6/1 to win and 11/4 the draw

Fulham have goals in them - 3rd highest goal tally in the league and they have scored against both Manc teams and Everton.

Fulham have shipped loads of goal away from home.

Conclusion - plenty of goals - 4 or more.

Heart says 3-1 Arsenal (10/1)

Head says 2-2 (14/1)

I am getting to the point where I actually want us to not get results to hasten the Nutty Professor's demise. I actually cheered at my telly when Huntelaar scored that cracker in stoppage time the other day.

Part of that was an ironic, "see what shopping outside Ligue 1 gets you, Forehead cost more then Huntelaar" cheer, but I genuinely didn't want to Wenger getting an opportunity to spout his 'mental strength, bounce-back-ability' cliches.

A few losses now or years of settling for fourth place? Hopefully there is a catalyst for change soon.

One thing is for sure; today's result will mean absolutely nothing when it comes to the bigger picture. No one performance has any bearing on the next. We never learn from our mistakes, we never use games as springboards to better things. This is a manager and a group of players that simply fall from one game to the next with no momentum and no learning’s. And that will go on until we see a significant change at the Club i.e. the removal of the Dear Leader and ideally the removal of some of the smug and complacent Board of Directors - but don't expect that to happen for some years. So who knows what will happen today. There will be no game plan, no tactics and no fight. Just a group of 11 individuals sent out on the pitch to do what they like. Same as usual.

I won't put you down for a chorus of There's Only One Arsene Wenger when we scrape home 1-0 today then mate

Overall I believe that it was important to show the right attitude today......

Just wait till we thump the mighty Montpellier 2-1 and Olympiacos lose to Schalke - there'll be a party when we celebrate our qualification from the CL Group like no other.

The party of course will end when we're drawn against Barcelona in the last 16 and attempt to play them off the park without having a shot

Too late to start Theo now, Wenger, he has probably already told his agent to talk to Liverpool and Chelsea.

Gervinho will be our first choice right-winger soon, ffs. I would rather have Seb Larsson back then have Klingon bumble about on the pitch and get booed off.

Theo is not even good enough for Arsenal, but we all want him to stay because we know he won't be adequately replaced, that's the truly sad thing.
