    In fairness, if I take yourself as a paradigm case. My experience has taught me never to assume what you know

    I don’t expect this one to be comfortable, Brentford are definitely capable of making this a tough game for us even though they’ve not been as good this year.

    Saying that, it would be quite unforgivable to miss the chance to gain points on at least one of City or Liverpool. So I would happily take a pub win here.

    It’s all relative (as I’m sure I say a lot) will it be comfortable compared to say Sheffield United or Burnley ? No…they will offer more of a fight than that. They in fact probably have a bit more teeth from an attacking sense that most teams we’ve played in this seven game winning run

    I don’t expect we will thrash them, but I’m inclined to say we should win comfortably….maybe one or two hairy moments but I would plump for 3-1

    Bit nervous about this one.
    I chastised Wengerbabies for declaring games “must win” early in the season.
    Up till Christmas there’s no such thing really. But it’s showtime now, if we don’t win to go top today, with the other two contenders playing each other tomorrow, then it’s game over.

    Yeah it would be a bit of a disaster really to not win this. Which might sound silly as we’ve won the previous 7 but given the game after this is at the Etihad, we could be out of contention very quickly.

    I was nervous about the Newcastle game, I know they were god awful on the road but they had won at Villa Park recently and we had just lost to Porto and was bit concerned about potential hangover.


    This one? No I’m fairly confident. If Arteta has any brains he will have played down the going top with a win aspect.


    We are a team that is very confidence oriented but we do seem full of confidence. I suppose the only doubt is I’m not sure we’ve won more than seven league games on the trot under Arteta but I don’t think that is particularly a psychological barrier.
