[Archived] Arsenal 6 Rovers 2

[CircoW]

The Emirates is a very impressive ground - living in London, I've made it to a couple of Champions League games with work colleagues this season. Comfy seats and loads of room all a bit to corporate for my liking though - stick me in a pen on the terraces any day of the week!

Think we'll get smashed 3 or 4 nil to be honest... we'll have a good day out though. With a bit of luck, I'll be too ruined to notice if we are getting hammered.

[bluewhitearmy]

i think we could scrape a 1-1 draw if were lucky and if we score first if we fail to do that theyll destroy us

[yorkblues]

brad to score in the 94th min

[pick32]

arsenal liverpool game was called of due to fog. not good news for us.

[SAS]

thats a shame

could have done with tired legs

but oh well, the blues will prevail 2-0 , andy todd brace

[USABlue]

Sneaky feeling we'll be down to 10 men sometime in this game. Mmm possibly as early as 25 mins.

[Jordan]

Only a 'handful' of tickets left for Arsenal game.

[lockers]

dont forget to leave all england flags at home

[AggyBlue]

dont forget to leave all england flags at home

Why should this apply to the away support?

Will they try and ban singing next?

Pathetic

[Eddie]

I imagine that it will apply to away fans as well. Wasn't someone kicked out of Old Trafford last year for having an American flag?

Oh I remember that!! SAS do you?

[Hughesy]

Head says 1-1. heart says 3-1 Arsenal

[greggyk]

Turning into an Arsenal fan are we Hughesy

[Presty On Tour]

maybe hughesy is arsenal in disguise?

[RoversFanUSA]

Well im gonna go with a crazy last minute win. Wishful thinking!! But im gonna stick with it.

[LeChuck]

It will be interesting to see what team Hughes goes for with all the injuries. Is Emerton back yet? If he is I would be tempted to play Bentley as a second striker behind Nonda.

Friedel

Neill Todd Ooijer Gray

Emerton Tugay Savage Pedersen

Nonda Bentley

If Emerton is out then I'm not too sure what we could do, I don't fancy Gallagher at all for this one. I just hope we don't try and sit back, Arsenal's defensive frailties are there for all to see this season, but they're always going to score goals. A plucky score draw is the best we can hope for I feel.

[KingCrip]

Anyone know if there will be beer available before the game and during half time? Although, it is my works party on friday so I might not be any any kind of state for a drink!

SSN are reporting that he should be back.

Fingers crossed.

I don't usually get excited about games now, but for some reason I cannot wait for Saturday. I think that Saturdays win against Reading has brought back the excitment of going to the game rather than thinking 'I've got to get up at 6am to watch that bag of sh1t'.

Anyone flying down on Saturday should check with the airlines before setting off. We are having really bad fog around this area and Heathrow is having problems which is meant to be continuing over the weekend. BA have cancelled all domestic flights today which means there will be a knock on effect even if the weather does improve.

Info from BAA's website:-

BAA

Arse are no mugs, we can't play 45 mins against them. I dont think we are yet upto 90mins of positive thinking.

So

Arse 2 Rovers 1

I'm hoping Nonda will step up to the table, we have to go at them otherwise we will get another lesson in ball retention and counter attacking, if we boss midfield and gray (Or whomever playes LB) doesn't get taken the cleaners then we could steal something, be nice to go in front for a change eh?

Also be nice if Lucas could go out on a high, hope he notches for us!

Come on lads, 90 mins on Saturday please!

[todd_could_take_tyson]

Start with Derbyshire and Nonda, nobody expects us to win so Derbyshire may as well get a game under his belt.

I've a feeling we won't come away empty handed.
