West Brom Away - Sunday 6th Oct, 4pm. SS1.

Jenks and Mertesacker and Arteta. But we seem to agree - the whole point is that the WBA team will be much tougher to face because they'll be playing the best team. So the potential "how did our youngsters beat them and yet the first team struggled?" question is void. It should be a completely different match with mostly different players on both teams.

Not sure what I expect will happen. We've got to drop points at some stage, I suppose.

Dont think arteta will start unless he rests flamini. We will drop points, hope its not tomorrow. Think it will be v liverpool. They sre due a winv us.

West Brom are a good side these days.

If we play like we did v Napoli, West Brom don't have a hope in hell of getting anything other that a fucking kicking.

If we ponce around, we may get a bit of a wake up call though.

We're due an arrogant lazy performance at some point. Let's hope it's not today.

[Munchies]

When is Santi coming back ? I read he was hoping to be fit for the Napoli game ?

[Xhaka Can’t]

I'm not too confident about today. I just think the law of averages has to kick in sometime. We've been having an incredible run, but with a fee exceptions our overall performance level simply does not merit results this consistently good.

[GP]

Yeah it does. We've fully deserved every result we've got.

[Marc Overmars]

It would be little bit shit if the run ended now, as we'd have the international break to mull over it rather than a quick opportunity to get back to winning ways.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Yeah it does. We've fully deserved every result we've got.

There have been many matches in the run (I'm going back over the calendar year) where we have been fortunate with the result. It is true that you make your own luck, and to a large extent we have done so - we have a hard working team and the talent level is rising. But there have been much better teams in the past where this type of run would have been less surprising to me. I hope the run continues, but I have my doubts.

[Xhaka Can’t]

We have had many average games in the past few months but dug our way out and managed to win all our games. Expect the same or forget about challenging for league title. :coffe:

I'm not necessarily looking for a title challenge this year - I don't think we have what it takes up front to sustain one - especially with ECL commitments and my hope that we take the FA Cup seriously. My main hope for this year s that the team continues to improve and that additions where there are weaknesses are made. I think the signing of Ozil has made this something that is much more likely this season.
