Injuries have it us hard im not gonna lie but even with Ramsey and Theo in the side we werent really threashing teams or even winning by big margins. This team is about solid defense and a couple of goals in a short space of time to kill the game.Quote:

We might not have been trashing teams, but we were still #1 until both Ramsey and Walcott died and now we're going into a tough run with more impact players dead :s
I'm not sure it's a choice, for is something that manifests itself from the confidence of getting big wins, lots of goals and wins against top sides, Liverpool are flying due to their results and the fact they are spanking a number of sides.Quote:

Honest question... how many here think we will win this game? And why?
Here is where I think our strengths are: Defense and a little momentum
Here is where I think Chavs strengths are: Hazard and Mou
Looking at the comparison, I give the Mou factor higher points and think will triumph in the end unfortunately. Wenger really needs to fire up the boys.
I do. Because I'm an arsenal fan.Quote:

Also we have just as many good players as they have, I rate us stronger in defence than they are even though the stats tell a different story. We blew a lot of goals away in two games against teams with top strikers and it skewed the stats. The chavs don't have top strikers. This will more likely be a game of attrition and we have a 50/50 shot on that basis.Quote:

Mike Dean is in charge of this one.Quote:

If it really is Mike Dean, we might as well not bother turning up.
Being an Arsenal fan means I hope we'll win, it doesn't mean I think we will.Quote:
