    Everyone knows about Arsenals current form, and very leaky defence.

    This might be another advantage to us:

    If this banner is unfurled at the emirates, it might further affect the Arsenal teams morale and motivation.

    A leaky defence is all well and good, but it doesnt mater if our attack is ****.

    We can't score, they can't defend. Should be an interesting game...

    I think you will find if you look that there are only 7 teams scored more goals than we have

    Just read on twitter about arsenal fans planned protest.

    Is it a case of whoever loses, loses their job?

    Blackburn will get beat off q.p.r so get ya bets on now!

    I doubt that anyone will be sacked after the game.

    Wenger will be under the most pressure though, if we do win. Arsenal's board might say they dont need a top 4 finish to compete financially, but that doesnt mean they dont expect one...

    I remain optimist: Ji and Wickham should be good against arsenal - big lads who can push the arsenal defence around. Hopefully, even if they dont score themselves, they should be able to create space for Gardner etc to cash in....

    Bruce will not play 2 up top mate although a lot of us seem to think it will be the way to go as per your reasoning.

    Sure he scored on his debut for us mate and most thought get in a top quality striker, how wrong we all were this management game is not as easy as it looks.

    No matter how demotivated the players are, two potent facts still remain:

    1). It's Arsenal

    2). It's away at the Emirates

    I.e. it's still a ****ing huge pain in the ass to face them there with the quality they have.

    It probably is one of the better times to face them, but it's still a bloody hard match and Arsenal will be eagerly looking to pick up points to halt the slide.
