    But we're playing Arsenal not Halifax. I'm sure Wenger has a 4 fresh defenders to deal him.

    Don't get your logic fella seems all over the shop. Not good enough to come off the bench because Arsenal will have a versatile defender to bring and deal with him, but good enough to start against their strongest fit defense where all the defenders are fresh. Both while Wenger isn't ****ting himself. Every thing you've just said casts doubt over him. Don't know if you're just arguing the toss or what but I don't have a clue what you're going on about.

    He's saying eat more might be a good player for us, but we are playing a team who often play against the best teams and players in Europe. Halifax was only used to show the comparison in quality. Ie Arsenal have dealt with better players while Halifax would poo themselves.

    Jones back, Yedlin on right for Laarson, Borini for Defoe.
    60 minutes Lens and Watmore on for Borini and Fletcher, their pace pinches a 1-0 win.
    Simple this game :emoticon-0160-movie

    I know fella, he's was just being sarcie. He'd start Watmore but he isn't good enough to come off the bench. That's what doesn't make sense. Doesn't matter anyway. He's stopped talking to me now thank **** so it's done with.

    I`ve given this bit of thought and come to the conclusion I haven`t got a ****ing clue as to what I would do. A baffler and no mistake. It`s a bit of a novelty to actually have options.

    What is going to make it really interesting is how Sam deals with it. Going to be some talking points on this one I reckon.

    Tbh a narrow defeat would be fine by me. It would show improvement from players heads dropping and completely collapsing.

    I get what you're saying. A good performance away to a team like the Arse is just as important as the final result if they give it their all and still lose.

    But a narrow defeat is still 0 points.

    Scores out of ten per player in the Sunday press don't count for ****.

    I couldn't give a **** about a good performance. I'll settle for a god almighty ugly grit-arsed 0-0 result. Which is what I think you saying, so after all that crap I've just spouted, I think I agree with you, but with at least a point at the end of it <laugh>

    Could be the Friday night Guinness talking though.....:emoticon-0136-giggl

    The big ask for me is wheather JoS and the gang are able to stifle the lethal attacking threat of Arsenal, despite loosing Sanchez and Corzola.. If they get near to achieving this we are in with a chance of a huge upset. Away the Lads

    Allardyce previews Arsenal trip
    Published: 04 December, 2015
    by Oscar Chamberlain

    Manager warns of threat posed by depleted Gunners.

    Sam Allardyce refused to underestimate Arsenal in his pre-match press conference despite the Gunners’ injury woes.

    Arsen Wenger could be without up to ten first-team players when his side host Sunderland at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, with Alexis Sanchez, Santi Cazorla and Jack Wilshere long-term absentees.

    Theo Walcott could return following a five-month stint in the treatment room and Laurent Koscielny could also feature, with Sunderland also mulling over a number of concerns as top scorer Jermain Defoe and former Gunner Seb Larsson both look set to miss out.

    Speaking ahead of Saturday’s game Allardyce warned of the threat posed by an Arsenal side with incredible strength in-depth, whilst also challenging his players to continue their fine form and ensure a fourth league game without a win for the Londoners.

    “[Despite injuries] they still have a top quality squad of international players,” said Allardyce. “Our best form will be needed even if people consider that Arsenal are weaker without those injured players, but I think the strength and depth of their squad over many years has been the key element as to why they have been so successful.

    “As we all know we have a particularly difficult December starting with Arsenal, and I think that the challenge for us is to maintain our good results and increase our performance levels because they are getting better and better.”

    He continued: “This is because of the confidence we are getting from winning games and hopefully the lads can show that confidence and determination on Saturday, at what is a great stadium to play in with a great atmosphere.

    “Saturday is what playing in the Barclays Premier League is all about.”
