I think a draw at the Al Emirates stadium will be a good result

I have a terrible feeling about this game. Arsenal have not lost there and we would have to meet them when they're playing their best stuff this season.

That is all I can say on this matter.

its bang on gunna be a draw


but what the £#%&! do i know, i've backed 3draws today and lost them all

We will win 2-1.

I have a feeling.

Rooney to score.

never say never we will beat any one on our dayand that will be the day

I agree, it's bad timing as they've been playing good as of late - but so have we.

If it is a draw (which I think it will be) I don't think the dippers will do us any favours and that will mean 4 points though.

I have a feeling we'll win too.

I think we'll match them with the ball but out-muscle them when we haven't got it and get a result by the odd goal.

I actually wonder if we should start with 4-5-1 (Arsene did against us)

i'd take the draw now

I'd snap your hand off brother - we haven't prospered in Londinium these past seasons.

i cant believe how much people are rating arsenal...

i dont even think they will score.

Make or break game this. I think we'll do them though.

We are the better side.

Lets play to our strengths rather than worrying about those @#%&!s.

If we play 4-5-1 and get beat then we'll have £#%&!ed up. We should be going all out for the 3 points.

First 11.

£#%&!ing hit them.

Don't stand off Fabregas,nail the @#%&! early on.

it's what we do.

Agreed. Give him no time on the ball and scare the shit out of him. Where's Phil when you need him?

But we have actually had good results away from home playing 4-5-1 against top sides. The problem was playing it at OT against the likes of West Brom.

I think there are two strategies:

4-4-2/4-4-1-1 out the traps,guns blazing ...either take the game by the scruff or leave ourselves vunerable and concede.


Play 4-5-1 - not the shit variant with Fletcher in the shirt and Rooney on the left - but with Rooney dropping deep and moving into the midfield more often to help out against Arsenal's three (they play 4-5-1 a lot these days). We would play it a bit more cautious,with lots of closing down and Rooney could pick his moments more carefully to move into the hole behind Saha/Larsson (I think it will be Saha).

I honestly think the latter, with lots of closing down and denying space, is the way to beat Arsenal.


Carlos.

there is no £#%&!ing way we'll play the right tactics against them. we'll be far too cautious.

i think they should be worrying about standing off scholes or carrick or tracking ronaldo,or following giggs,or trying to contain any two from saha,rooney and laarson....

henry will go missing and gilberto is out.


2-0

this game could make a hell of a difference to the psychology of the rest of the season.

if we don't take the bull by the horns, fergie can £#%&! off.

I think Gilberto missing the game will be a big loss to them. People underestimate how well hes played for them this season, a lot like Makelele in his first couple of seasons at Chelsea.
