We should really win this one and comfortably. Though with Arsenal, anything can happen....
I'm going for a 0-2, Theo & Santi

Lawro predictsQPR v Arsenal (17:30 BST)
I don't know which players will still be at Loftus Road in the Championship next season but QPR owner Tony Fernandes has done well to make sure Harry Redknapp stays on as manager.Arsenal on the march again
"Every season people cast doubt on whether Arsenal will make the top four, and every season they prove them wrong. It is going to be tight again this time but I think their chances are really good, especially with games against Wigan (at home) and Newcastle (away) after this one.
"I just have a feeling Tottenham might miss out. Chelsea seem to have picked up at the right time - they have been lifted by their run in the Europa League and I like the way they are playing at the moment.
"You saw what a good side Chelsea were in the minutes after they conceded a late penalty that wasn't against Basel - they just picked themselves up and, as a team, seemed to say 'come on let's go and win this'."
The upshot seems to be that Redknapp will not have to sell any players he doesn't want to sell - Fernandes has had a taste of the Premier League now and clearly wants more of the same. Harry has managed in the Championship before and I do think they will come straight back up, don't think there is any doubt about that.
Arsenal were feisty in their 1-1 draw with Manchester United last week and there is something different about them when they play that way.
We know they are a really good footballing team who are good to watch and have some outstanding players.
But when they were winning things regularly, they also had that steel and physical side to their team. The question Arsene Wenger must be asking is 'why can't they be like that every week?'.
Arsenal are on a really good run of form dating back to their defeat in the north London derby at the start of March and they should continue that at Loftus Road.
Prediction: 0-2
Going to this.
Although I'll be in with the QPR lot.
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..."
Yeah I've been to Loftus Road before (Vs Fulham when Reyes scored from a VDS fuck up).
What a dump. Free ticket anyway, just tagging along with a guy from work who's a season ticket holder. Poor sod.

Ben Haim?
Shame Zamora is starting.
Crooknapp has filled their team with Arsenal-slayers and loanee Spuds.
