[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd are having a great season.

[GP]

Monreal has been atrocious?

When?

[Munchies]

Fantastic news lads.


Lawro's predicted us to lose.

For the Spuds game:

'Josh's prediction: I know the scoreline I have gone for might affect how I get on against Lawro but, being a Gooner, there is no way I can say Spurs will ever win a game! 0-10 '

Provided the back 5 play well for us we should win this. We're better at the back, better in the middle. They have no defence and nothing of note in the middle. They'll be betting everything on Suarez and the wide two. Bottle them up and it's another 3 points. I hope we don't go negative. If we go negative I'm going to shit in my hand and throw it at Wenger.

Really hoping Jack is 100% fit to start this. Good sign that he's in the training pics. Wenger had him down as a 'maybe'. Gibbs should be back at LB at least.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Liverpool have a few defenders out but Agger has been a little on the fringes this season and I think Flannagan is actually a promising player.

I don't fancy a point after the euphoria of seeing the Quadruple winners drop points and what is certain to be child's play when they take Norwich to the cleaners.

I really hope Gibbs gets his place back. There are certain pieces of very specific attacking play that Monreal capitalises or maximises better than Gibbs but other than that I see Gibbs as superior in every other way. I'd like to see Rosicky given a start too and though he has been out of the team, he has been fantastic for a while.

[I am invisible]

Good news! We could have the unimaginable striking power of Yaya Sanogo back soon! He's just come through a whole 60 minutes with the U21s.

i would expect the following to start
Ches, Sagna, Kos, Mert, Gibbs, Arteta, Wilshere, ozil, Cazorla, Giroud, Ox (maybe rosicky in place of ox).

I feel this game could be make or break. Think of the statement it would send out if we win, 6 points from the next 2 games not only would give us a massive boost but also send out a message to city and chelsea that we will not give up easily. Unfortunately its these games that more than often send us into a downward spiral for a few weeks then pick up again when the title is gone. You get the feeling if we lose then the utd game on wednesday becomes crucial and we do seem to crumble in those crucial games. Id take 4 points now and even 3 points would be acceptable. anything less and we will be chasing city and chelsea. I fear more for the games in March as they are against better quality than utd and liverpool. If we are top come that tough run of games in march then a defeat against one of them wont be critical but it depends on us getting at least 3/4 points this week.

probably 1-1 though i can see liverpool having one of those performances where everything goes right. If we play the way we did v southampton then the game will be over at HT. Play the way we can and we will get a draw at least.

Why are we scared of Liverpool and Utd? We are better than them in every department, excluding Suarez. We've shut him down before and can do it again. We have the best defenders in the country. We should go into both these games expecting to take 3 points. The table tells us this is a different season and a different mentality to previous years. The real challenges come against the chavs and the gypos, those will be tests. These next two games, what's the big deal? We've been beating teams like this all season. The earlier results against Utd was an epic fluke. A flu-ridden team against a fully fit opposition who play like they have flu, it evened things up. And they still needed our ex-player to shoulder one in, they had nothing of their own making on the pitch that was worth a mention.
