[Archived] Arsenal 3 Rovers 0

[Alan75]

Thats a new one.

The christmas turkey formation.

[Paul]

Anybody putting their mortgage on the Rovers winning?

If it means I lose the mortgage, then Yes.

[Flopsy]

I hate to be negative but

WE'RE DOOMED DOOMED DOOMED

[Scotty]

The only way I think we can get something from this game is if we score first, defend like our lives depended on it, and then hope Arsenal get nervous. Arsenal will be under a bit more pressure than usual because of this record and it might, just might, affect their performance.

Alternatively, Arsenal will score first, Highbury will erupt into a party atmosphere, and they'll knock 6 or 7 past us. I know what I think will happen!!

quietly yes

[Mike Graham]

Let's be positive chaps. Where is the best pub for a decent pint at a decent price with a good craic near the ground. Luckily i'm stopping the night near Old Street and a few pops will round off a good night.

I will be getting the one from preston, problem is it takes about 7 hours each way.

Bit late, aren't you?

[Flopsy]

story of my life

[Alan75]

Captain Tugay and THOMO is back in squad.

Team (from): Friedel, Amoruso, Short, Gresko, Emerton, Neill, Gray, Tugay, Thompson, de Pedro, Flitcroft, Stead, Yorke, Matteo, Johansson, Gallagher, Dickov, Enckelman.

[Flopsy]

well at least Amo's back

the only way I can see of beating the Arse is to sod defending and just go for as many goals as possible.

Oh and for Nissa to kick seven shades of ###### out of that dirty dutch @#/?

[Roaming Rover]

3-1 to Rovers

I don't know, i don't think we'll be battered. We always seem to raise our game against the 'bigger' teams. As long as we try to get at them and not invite pressure (we'll be under enough of that as it is ) I'll go 3-2 to Arsenal with a possible 2-2.

Won't predict who will score i think i've said enough already.

A draw what am i thinking

[Tom Pringle]

FINALLY! THOMO RETURNS! DROP EMERTON!

[Ricky]

Anyone know of a decent pub to visit before the game. I will be in London all day on Wednesday probably head up to the Highbury area at about 6.00-6.30. It would be good to catch up with any MB members.

[rover6]

Ironically, Souness' four central midfielders tactic could work here. Although, I'd like to see Emerton play because if nothing else, his pace could trouble them on the counter-attack.

Emerton hasn't got any pace!!!!

[Hughesy]

Look at the odds they are offering!

Blackburn Win

1-0 15/1 Bet

2-0 67/1 Bet

2-1 29/1 Bet

Given our past success' at highbury i think these odds are crazy!

Its 10/1 just for a blackburn win!

[stegraham]

On the William Hill website they have us down as 14/1 to win 0-1. They have Arsenal down to win 4-0 at 10/1 !!

[Hughesy]

Im going to stick a £5 on rovers to win.
