Tickets booked. Aggregate score of United 6-0 Arsenal of the other two times I've been to OT. Hoping for something other than a good atmosphere this time.

going by coach (I've driven there before but that was at a reasonable ko time), at least the coach will be quiet on the way home

Society is now one polished horde
Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.
"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
regretting booking tickets for this now after last night. go all the way to OT to see us get hammered with a van persie hatrick
If we lose this I'll just about be able to handle it.
Provided Wenger doesn't give the same interview as always after the loss. That will tip me over the edge.

I don't think you've got anything to worry about there.
yeah thats true. Welbeck hattrick in a 3-0 win
Bit optimistic Ollie.yeah thats true. Welbeck hattrick in a 3-0 win
1-0 fluked last minute pub scramble will be fine (and an improvement)

Who actually thinks we can win this game?! As depressing as it may sound I think last nights defeat could be the start of the "annual collapse".
We should comfortably win this game.
However, we have a manager who will select the wrong starting eleven and then play them in the wrong positions. So that will give Utd a strong chance of an upset.
Even if Wenger picks what appears to be the right team and plays everyone in the correct positions, if Utd have a trick up their sleeve and their tactics are working better on the day - we have a manager who will not react and will simply watch us being outplayed and out-thought.
We also have a manager who will make the wrong substitutions at the wrong time and opt for a defensive posture when we need to attack or vice versa.
It's a coin toss. We're good enough to win but possibly not good enough to overcome the handicap of our manager.
On a plus side, Utd have a super hyped loon in charge. He'll probably pick the wrong team too. He'll probably opt for bizarre tactics.
Then the big negative. It's at their place so the ref and linesmen will be in Utd shirts making up their numbers so it's 14 vs 11 (15 vs 11 if you include the 4th official and his timekeeping).
Other factors. If we have have generated a bit of momentum with some decent performances and wins before this game, then we will play terribly and lose for sure. That's a guarantee.
However, if we have been shit in the lead up to the game, maybe having lost in the previous match, if it looks like we're on a downward spiral, if the fans are on the manager's back big time then we'll almost certainly win.
Hard to call.
