We have conceeded 15 premier league goals in our last 5 games and have only 1 win in our last 8 games (All Competitions) which was a home win against a championship team!

Where do I start here? It's Arsenal AWAY and I could say, let's ATTACK and see what happens. Then again I know we will not ATTACK so we're getting hammered. Yeah I fear the worst too Smithers. Home win. Can I think of an itsey bitsey thing to be positive about this game. Er NO! Apart from our goal diff going into minus double figures.
Can't see us getting any joy here, pre christmas I would have edged for a draw but hoping we don't get mullared 2-0.
I have plumped for a home win, 2-0 or 3-1. W.ouldn't it be great, however, if against all odds we got something from the game
I've not seen the (squad list yet) mate and I think?? that Shea can not play in a League game until he holds a Visa/green card or other to give him clearence. Might be way off with this but hearing Brek's interview last night. He said " I have to leave the country, sort out Visa's etc, not sure what all that entails" Would be great IF I was wrong and he could start but there's also the fact he's NOT played since August.
So that's Jon ( I'll play every single week for you boss yes man) Walters and pick ANY other Nine as Begovic will play surely? Begovic Wilko Huth Ryan Cameron Whitehead Whelan Ehters Walters Jones N'Zonzi I heard Waddo that Blackpool wanted Charlie Adam back on loan?? So take out Whitehead re-place with Adam
Behave Cym Just watched the highlights on match of the day and we did pretty much ok. Seems like the gap between the 2 sides is narrowing somewhat
