Arsenal don't appear to be laughing at us anymore!

We never win at Old Trafford, either.

 

Looking at our league games for the rest of the month they're all winnable and losable on paper. You can't help but have a bad feeling about the United game though. Fergie won't take any chances after losing to us at OT and it'll almost certainly be one of his henchmen in charge.

I don't see QPR away as an easy game either, 'Arry knows nearly everyone of our players well and on a small pitch I can see us being frustrated, we're fairly relentless in creating half chances against teams who've sat back at us lately but it only takes a bit of luck and we won't score(like Stoke). I think Norwich away is the best chance we have of 3 points but even they can cause us problems. Our February and even March are better though, if we're chasing them going into April I can't see us finishing above them and therefore not in the top 4.

 

Was browsing the Gooner board last night, and I was surprised to see that there were very few postings.

That's rather strange. Those lads always seem so chirpy when things are going their way.

 

Are you trying to suggest that it's all gone quiet over there, HIAG?

 

Even Peskie is'nt posting on our board,i'd have though he had a brass neck to carry on.

 

i'm not saying anything about THEM after last season's capitulation

Funnily enough, and despite my recent "clown" attack on AVB, I don't believe he will be as weak as Redknapp, in the final half of our season. I think he showed with Porto that he gets stronger with time, and that he has the mentality to take a successful season to its conclusion. Plus, I believe, despite what he says publicly, that he is driven to finish above Chelsea, to show the mad-dog Russian that he was right in appointing him (at great expense) and wrong to sack him in such humiliating fashion. It's that drive for revenge that will push us over the finishing line, I believe. We didn't have that, last season.

 

Just the 23 pages on the match thread then

Do you try to make yourself look silly on purpose ?

 

Try telling that to HAIG

His infamous quotes make for a good laugh when they all came back to bite him in the arse. But at least he had the insight to recognise that he was talking ****e in the end

Keep em coming HAIG . . .

 

Brass neck's appeared,clinging tightly to his little scoreboard sig!

 

I think we can all spare a joint laugh for Chelsea tonight, we can carry on tomorrow.

We might have our differences, but like gent says

We are ALL laughing at the Chavs tonight

 

Bloody typical that Harry learns how to win at Stamford Bridge about two years too late...

 

"You'd have to be a real dope to mess it up with [the likes of] Eden Hazard, Juan Mata, Frank Lampard."

 

You just knew that quote was going to spring into life straight away

 

Yes, it was a shock result, tonight, for the Chavs. That has got to hurt. Benitez was all blotchy-faced, like he used to be, in his final days at 'Pool.

That result will give our Gooner friends hope that they might be able to catch them and perhaps even finish above them. They'll have to address their usual end-of-season bottle-job pretty fast, though, otherwise they'll be swapping places with 'Pool.

 

Don't tell me you think Pool might have a chance of top 4? A Pauline conversion!

 

Actually, it isn't the case anymore. Somebody else has claimed that mantle. Last season we were staring at a 13 pt gap against a team who were beating us O-2 at home. We then went on to spank them 5-2 and in the process it acted as the catalyst for one of the most monumental end of season bottle-jobs ever seen
