Our home form is pretty good at the moment, so we need to batter the barcodes seeing as we haven't beaten them in the League for a while.
Szczesny
Sagna
Koscielny
Vermaelen
Gibbs
Song
Arteta
Rosicky
Walcott
RVP
Benayoun
Song, Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain all picked up injuries, but the first two will probably be ok. Oxo apparently had a hamstring strain, so he's likely out for this/the season.
If we're not still in a state of depression, we should win this comfortably. 3-1.
Must win.
Need to get a grip on 4th and not allow our rivals to close in so soon.
2-1 to the Arsenal.
Normally id say after a game like that in the CL we loose confidence and bottle what ever remaining cups, title race were in. This time i think we should be ok tbh, the players new it was a big task, just hope injuries don't affect us too much for this game.
We should win though.
No. We need to get a grip on 3rd.Quote:

If we can muster the same intensity for this game, the Barcodes won't have much chance. Whether we will do that from 0-0 though, I'm not so sure.
If Spurs lose at Everton (which they will), we definitely won't win.
We never capitalise on other results. We need to play before Spurs or at the same time really.

Because that has been working great over the last couple of weeks.
If spuds loose that should give our lot extra motivation tbh.Quote:

Sczesney
Sagna Koscielny Vermy Gibbs
Rosicky Song Arteta
Walcott ( or Gervinho) Chamberlain ( Gervinho or Benayoun)
RVP
We might have too much power for them : 3-1 Arsenal
Love to see Pardew's face if we batter them 5-0

I hate pardew more than I hate pulis. He is subhuman filth.
Nah I think Pulis still tops the subhuman filth list.
All Honest Pards is guilty of is a little bit of fist pumping on the touchline.
How dare you say a thing like thats against a man like TP, your just Stokeist.Quote:

I see us being completely knackered for this game and probably getting a bore draw with lots n lots of tippy tappy!

Really? We have a whole week to recover after Tuesday's efforts. If we were playing Saturday lunchtime that may concern me but we should be OK by Monday.Quote:

Arteta and Ramsey are back. Hope Rosicky keeps his place though.
Yossi is a doubt.
Presumably Oxlade's available to play - he had the flu.
I hope we line-up like this:
------------Van Persie---------------
Looks good.

Lawro positive about us againQuote:
Arsenal v Newcastle (2000 GMT)
This might prove to be a more difficult game than Arsenal fans are expecting on the back of their last three performances, in which they have been absolutely outstanding.
Newcastle will be fired up for their trip to Emirates Stadium because it is a big one for them in the race for fourth place. The Magpies were not particularly good against Sunderland, when too many of their players got caught up in the moment, and they will be looking to bounce back from that disappointment.
But how can I not tip Arsenal to win at home with the form Robin van Persie is in?
He is basically unplayable at the moment and was nothing short of sensational at Anfield in terms of coming up with the goods at precisely the right moment. If he had been playing for Liverpool last week then they would have scored four or five goals.
Arsenal have definitely improved at the back too, with Kieran Gibbs, Thomas Vermaelen, Laurent Koscielny and Bacary Sagna looking like a good unit in front of Wojciech Szczesny.
Fourth place is up for grabs and Arsenal are in the box seat at the moment but there is still a massive reliance on Van Persie to deliver for them and even when he is in the team they can still look pretty ordinary at times.
This is an Arsenal side that went to AC Milan and were hopeless and went to Sunderland and were not that much better.
Yes, it was a great comeback to beat Tottenham, yes they did very well to nick a win late on against Liverpool and yes they were impressive against Milan but, for me, they remain fragile. You cannot be sure you won't see another poor performance from them next time.
Prediction: 2-1
Why didn't he just say he hopes we lose? Why is he so long-winded about it?
Oxo-Chambo was awlsome in the middle. Home games like this would be the best place to try it out again. Now that some of our midfielders are actually fit, we probably won't see him there again though. I'm expecting WUMger to bench him for this anyway.
Fat Fuck 2 could actually play on Monday, as Gibbs is 50:50 again. http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-arc...y-and-benayoun
well we did beat his beloved liverpoolQuote:
