I'd love to win this game, ideally it would be an added time penalty put away by Kevin Davies. I think it would be the final straw for Wenger, as I'm sure he'd have a complete melt down.

Any penalties are almost certain to go Gooner way. They're far more experienced at diving and agony-rolling than we are.

I know, but things aren't going Wenger's way of late. He is fighting and bitching with everyone these days. He looks very very close to a meltdown and it would be poetic justice if we were the final straw.

They've given away loads of penalties recently.

It's partly because they're crap at defending.

Partly? :grin:

And it'd be much sweeter to win with a 'proper football' goal. Either way a nice scalp to wash out that Cup taste is in order!

I'd uh, be happy with a draw.

Trips them up and is a realistic result. We've been threatening to get something against them the last few times, could be an unlikely result this weekend...oddly confident for some reason.

Very Churchillesque, Truewhite. I hope it gets the turnstiles working overtime. :D

Tho I have had several bouts of 'couldn't care less about them overpaid spineless cuts' during the week I will still be watching tomorrow from a pub in Galway. Totally rearranging my friends weekend to accommodate it. Like many, I just want to see some passion and effort and I am hoping that will go some way to restoring my faith.
Just one thing. If petrov if in starting line up I could well stab someone

A good place to start might well be with Petrov.

Plenty of targets outside Supermacs at spilling out time. Anyone in a tracksuit and a threadbare 'tache is worth a punt. :)

Nothing but a win is good enough for Arsenal to keep their title hopes alive. Unfortunately I think that, once again, they will be just to good for us.

Two teams with a definitive something to prove. Should be a classic.
