To be perfectly honest, I´d say This G-Day we may get blown away, But, what the heck It´s not going to wreck Our season, nor the way we play But, interestingly enough For Gunners, it might, if they´re stuffed, And just what that shows I´m not sure, but goes Some way to helping, if it´s tough For them, a defeat´s not to bear While for us, it´s nothing to fear, Not many expect That we will collect Three points, and a celebratory beer And though we´re closer to the top Right now, it´s those down near the drop, Who we need to beat If we are to meet Our target, and avoid the chop So far at home, we haven´t seen Any of the really top teams, So it´s hard to know Just what sort of show Our lads will put on, if they´re keen We´d like to think that we will match Those big wage earners on our patch, And that´s the beauty Of this game, you see And what keeps us wanting to watch For no-one´s yet worked out a way To prophesy just how the play, Will go, or who´ll win Before it begins On any one given match day So although the Gunners may feel That this one´s almost a done deal, They should know by now Whether low or highbrow That no game is ever a steal.

Hi RBF! A mouthwatering prospect for those lucky enough to be able to attend! This is NOT going to be 0 - 0, with Arsenals defensive record on the road, and our continuing failure to keep a clean sheet, it will come down to which of us can out-score the other! On our day, with Lady Luck granting us her favours, who knows? This could be our day!
Wouldn´t that be great Mr. boots, I´d certainly enjoy writing an ode to celebrate the occasion with the Arsenal fans.
For some strange reason there seems to be more trepidation for this game than for Chelsea,Man U and Liverpool which were all away matches.Let's just hope PL gets Pizza on his face,not egg.
Think that´s perfectly understandable Cruyff, to lose 3 or 4-0 away at any of those you mention, is no disgrace, but to lose by the same at home, ( which, let´s face it, could happen) looks and feels a lot worse. Still going for 2-2 myself.
Excellent stuff RBF! I'm not as pessimistic about this as some. Last time we played them a t home, we lost 4-1, but that was an Arsenal team in the midst of a 49 game unbeaten PL run, and with the likes of Henry and Bergkamp playing. They still have good players, of course, but I'm hoping for a better result this time out.
I remember that game too gandy, but I´d say we´re stronger now, and maybe Arsenal are slightly weaker, Henry and Bergkamp were a bit special, should even things out a bit, I´d say.
