Agreed, 4-1

[glasgowronnieCaptain of Country]

Don't think it's going to be the hammer assumes. dare I say 1-1 draw?

[*** G L O V E S ***National Legend]

They have Bendtner up front. There's always hope.

[G-sterClub Legend]

Arsenal have injury problems but should still win the game by 2 goals.

Lets just go for it - Kerslake will know it's his last match as manager, and potentially last match at the club full stop. Absolutely nothing stopping us charging out the gate and seeing what happens. If we get a kicking, who really cares?

Red I agree ,aint as if anyones expecting anything from the game

Wouldn't that be a nice change. I would rather us go for it and lose 3-2 than , play the way we did under Malky and get picked off 2 or 3 nil.

Cornelius 87

Either from a Whittingham corner, free kick or a saved free kick and he slots home the rebound.

I like your optimism James   

Sadly, I can feel another 3-0 before halftime thrashing coming on.

[An historic day?Guest]

God knows why but I have a good feeling about today's game. Not sure that is Arsenal team could put three on anyone before Hat, they look to have lots of injury problems.

Likewise I am not sure Cornelius could score if he ignores the close season and plays on till July alone,

Hopefully we'll play the same attacking football we did against Sunderland, but remembering to keep the ball and catch our breath a bit more often.

We can't let Arsenal have it and keep it. We need a good 60% of the possession today.

60%!?

Any team in the world, even Bayern Munich, Man City or Barcelona, would be hard pushed to get 60% in Arsenals backyard.

It doesn't matter if we play superbly, we are looking at a best case scenario of 45%.

[SteWellsTeam Captain]

I just don't think we can let Arsenal have that much of the ball. They'll tear us apart.

[BlueminatiFirst Team Regular]

No i think today is where Malky's tactics might work for first half then we should try to play second half. Its imperative we don't concede early.
