Who knows what could happen and if Moyes or Wenger be able to pull up a shocker. This match is highly anticipated and decides which team is capable to rise up again. I adore both teams, but Moyes is just.... errr. NVM
Good luck, guys. As a neutral (well, LFC fan!), I'm looking forward to this game. Not really bothered who wins, just expecting a cracking game. If you both play to your respective forms, you should win, but it's an unpredictable season.
yepp, that is how we look at it too, I rather Arsenal win it than clubs like chelsea or city ...sadly many here wanted us to lose over the past 2 seasons to those clubs .. so I can't say we share the same ethical points and standards in football regarding the match .. 2 clubs in crises imo .. but Arsenal are the clear favorite here
Hello shwan,how is that you not make much post on Arsenal board in this season.In the season of 2012/13 you have made much post here. Why are not make much post anymore.
This has to be a much watch game for anyone wanting to know if Arsenal are "real" contenders for the title. Manchester United might be a little unlucky to follow the Liverpool game. Obviously, I'm hoping for a reaction from the team and I think there will be one. Still a lot of twists left in this year's race, and maybe a drubbing was what Arsenal needed, although I'm not going to go as far as saying that I was hoping for it! Still think our team, apart from the defence who are doing well, is the one with the most unlocked potential in the PL. So many players showing flashes of brilliance and needing to do it on a more consistent level. Perhaps it is confidence, perhaps it is just experience, but whatever it is, a good victory against United will set us up for the rest of the season perhaps. Not going to be silly enough to offer a prediction, I have absolutely no idea how this one will go, but I'm going to be watching on the edge of my seat. Has to be a vital game for us, mentally as much as about the points.
Reading the comments on the Arsenal facebook page. I swear 90% of the commenters are brain dead ******s who have no grasp of the English language or basic footballing knowledge.
Think this game has 1-1 written all over it. Both teams will want to prove something but ultimately both fall short and it'll end asking more questions than will be answered.
How the f**k are Arsenal in crisis? One ****ty result hardly makes us a team in crisis, we are the furthest thing from a team in crisis, everything is smooth sailing at Arsenal this season compared to the previous 2. Before the Liverpool game we had won 8 out of 9 games, hardly in crisis.
I think that's a good prediction. We really need to win but we'll ultimately end up falling short. I don't think United will beat us either. I hope not anyway.
I'll be so pissed if we don't win, not just because we need a win for our title chances, but because we are owed a bloody ****ing win over United, how many games have we played them now without a win, and how many times have they beaten us in our previous games? I'm sick of playing United and not winning, our record against them is so ****.
You know, after Chavski dropped 2 points tonight.. I think Arsenal are *just* going to do enough knowing they can retake top of the league (already)... 2-1 the Arsenal.
By the way im only making this prediction not because Arsenal shouldn't beat Manure, because Manure are poor now.. it's more the fact they seem to get every little thing going their way against you. Perhaps with Moyes in charge, that will change.
I think that is a good prediction too. As daft as it may sound i think we have more chance of getting a result against Arsenal than we do against the bottom five teams right now. Arsenal will not block defend which means our stuttering attack will have more space to operate in, also Arsenal will not depend on fast breaks to score, instead building a steady, studied attack giving our slow and poor defence time to regroup.
The way I see it, you are in trouble if we score first. We have a very strong track record after going in front in games over the past 18 months. We can defend deep and that is where we've had a lot of success. If United score first, well, they'll either win or draw as we cannot seem to win coming from behind. We're not set up for it.
I really don`t think it would affect us if you scored first. Our problems start when a team defends deep, we don`t seem to have the ability or craft to break them down, but what does happen is our fullbacks spend most of their time between the halfway line and the opositions box. Evra no longer has the pace and Rafael does not have the nouse to get back in time when a team breaks on us, with Evans and Jones at centre back we have some speed to cover but not the positional sence yet. To be blunt, if you attack at pace and turn our defence you win, if your midfield play their usual passing game we have a chance. Superior midfields do not beat United, tactics do.
4-1 to you lot... united are shockingly bad...they couldn't even beat us at home...and west ham managed that comfortably!!!!!
A victory is the only result we should be aiming for and get. Anything else would be valuable points dropped. We won't get a worse Manure to play against and at home, it should make our task all the more better. Also we need to seriously consider benching Ozil if he's still off colour. We really need to get the result and carrying a player, albeit brilliant one, in an important game maybe a little risky.
Annoyingly I think we'd have played free-er had Chelsea not drawn last night. Knowing a win puts us back on top adds loads of pressure to a team that must feel a bit shell shocked after Saturday.... or maybe that's just me being a massive fanny and the team will come out all guns blazing! I see this as either a horrible scrappy affair with the odd goal deciding it (ala Old Trafford earlier this season) or we'll win relatively comfortably. I just don't see Man U walking it. My predictions tend to be on the sh*te side though so I'd whack a load on United by at least 2 goals were I you all!
this one is too close to call . Manure are sh1t but , we dont seem to be able to score for sh1t at the moment so........... who knows which way it will pan out.......
