    After tonight, if we are fit for Sat, it's going to be a great game. Arsenal will be expected to come at us and that should give us spaces to exploit.

    Enjoy the game Dai. Wish i could be ther but I'll be watching it from home.

    Enjoy the match Dai, will be watching it in the pub as can't spare the time to travel there myself.

    Should be an interesting contest with a hopefully positive (for us) outcome. What I saw in the first half tonight at the Liberty took my breath away - total football at its very best! If we can do that at Arsenal there will only be one winner. Still pinching myself at how far we have come in such a short time!

    Some of the football tonight was breathtaking, West Brom were like headless chickens.
    Couldn't understand their keeper seemingly time wasting though, even when they were 3 down. Was this to try and slow down the tempo of the game?
    I hope Hernandez is fit for Saturday as he looked like he may have pulled something, he was outstanding tonight

    A few questions for you guys ahead of our game. Which of one your midfielders do you think will be tasked with tracking the AM from the other team or basically just Cazorla for us on Saturday? And will Michu play as the CF?

    Have you seen our form lately? Tbh we all our midfielders are burnt out and exhausted jack aside. We have a better chance against you guys if eisfeld and coquelin replace Arteta and cazrola.

    Looks like Pablo's out for this one which is a big blow. At least Dyer should get a full game though.
    Tough game for us but the way we played last night fills me with confidence. As my predictions are usually crap I will go for a 2-0 win to Arsenal just to ensure that Jack victory!

    Lets not get over confident. This is Arsenal were playing not Accrington and we all know the quality they have throughout their team. I'd happily take a draw right now.

    I'd take a draw as well but if we replicate the first 45 minutes played against WBA, I honestly believe we could beat them. Trouble is Pablo is out and he is immense for us right now, making things happen and creating chances galore. Even so, I'm not writing off our chances after that display last night. Just hope we don't rest on our laurels......

    Where has that been confirmed? I cant find anything about it this morning.

    I agree with Dilligaf, we shouldnt get overconfident, but we also shouldnt just turn up and show them a boat load of respect either. You have to go back 8 games to find the last time this Arsenal team actually won a league game against a team who didnt gift them a result with a pathetic sending off that ended the game.

    Even if you ignore the fortunate circumstances surrounding their wins over spurs and QPR, we're a point behind them and you could definitely argue we're in far better form than they are.

    We shouldn't go into this game pretending we're gonna play Arsenal off their own park, but we also shouldnt be expecting to get slaughtered ourselves. There was a gooner asking about who's gonna mark Cazorla earlier, i'd probably be looking at which of Arteta, Wilshere and Cazorla is gonna drop in and deal with our 10 and provide the protection for the defense that someone like Leon naturally provides.

    Not a time for over confidence, but lets not sell ourselves short either!

    It's going to be difficult and I just hope they play well and put up a good performance. Very exciting game with nothing to lose and I would be very happy with a draw but right now anything can happen when swans enter the pitch. A win is not that far out.
