They have the late KO on the 21st so it could be 11 points by the time they get on the pitch.Quote:

Bit much, Charlie!
Ach, stop waving imaginary red cards in the air :rolleyes:
Apologies i took it too far, sorry if i offended anyone.
Should be a win really, although Wigan are going through their annual mental finish to a season, probably not a team to take lightly at the moment.
Hopefully we can get the job done so nothing is left in the balance for the Chav game. Keep a nice cushion and seal CL football against them. Jobs a good'un.
I've a spare as mate can't change shift for the 4,000th time due to tv fucking things up again! Pm me if interested.
Anyone fancy a pint before the match as will be going straight from work to the match.
We're still here Lawro :wave:Quote:
Arsenal v Wigan (2000 BST)
What a time for Wigan to start playing well, and to claim their first win over Manchester United in the Premier League as well.
Arsenal swept aside Wolves in their last game and are on a great run themselves. You have to ask what happened to all those Gunners fans who wanted to get rid of Arsene Wenger in October and November?
It would be interesting to hear their thoughts now because the Gunners look nailed on for third place now. Their front three of Robin van Persie, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott is firing on all cylinders, Tomas Rosicky looks like a player reborn and Mikel Arteta and Alex Song are both playing very well.

“
At one stage, a month or two ago, I thought the Latics were down but they have come back and done fantastically well
”
They were a good side even when they were playing badly but their defence is obviously playing a big part in their run too now it is back to full strength - they were always going to struggle without their regular full-backs for half the season.
Wigan have picked up points when they were expected to be beaten and that means they can go to the Emirates and have a go at the Gunners. They are trying this 3-4-3 formation, which you can tell is working by looking at their results.
Latics boss Roberto Martinez is generally a brave manager and I would expect him to go for Arsenal the same way as he did against Liverpool, Stoke, Chelsea and United.
After his side lost at the DW Stadium on Wednesday, Sir Alex Ferguson said Wigan should be higher up the table that they are. If you look at them and you look at the quality of their individuals then you say yes, that's true.
But it is the collective that counts and that is often Wigan's problem. I always think their players are well aware they can sell themselves and get moves to bigger clubs by playing for the Latics in the Premier League, which doesn't necessarily lead to great team spirit.
At one stage, a month or two ago, I thought the Latics were down but they have come back and done fantastically well. They have a great chance of staying up now.
Prediction: 2-0
Gibbs 50:50.
Gervinho 80:20.
Diaby and Coquelin probably fit for Chelsea game.
Wilshere dead.
Win
Spare still available, north bank lower, next to me... :tumbleweed: anyone up for a drink pre match?
Why is Lawro talking about Ox? He hardly plays!!
Be great to see Ox starting this game.
Go big or go home
7-1
Gervinho and Gibbs might be back for this
Wow, must be worth going to this one!!! Spare still available for price of a pint.....Quote:

:lol:
Santos :bow:
think this will be a tight one despite the last two times they have come to the emirates suggesting otherwise (4-0 +3-0 just as a reminder), think they will go for it against us and i can see them scoring at least once, i think we could be looking at 3-1 or 4-2 to us in the end...last minute goal giving us the two goal cushion.
Chakma. :haha:Quote:

Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Vermaelen, Djourou, Santos, Song, Arteta, Rosicky, Benayoun, Walcott, Van Persie (c).
Substitutes: Fabianski, Gibbs, Squillaci, Ramsey, Gervinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Chamakh.
NQ on co-commentary. :popcorn:
I think Wenger is starting Yossi consistently now to see if it's worth signing him in the summer.
Oxo. :rose:
