Great. Its on Sky! Glad I get to see it but dam we're on TV! Hopefully Santos will be fit for them and play left back. I think we could have a lot of joy counter attacking down our right flank as he is next to useless. Going to be goals in it thats for sure so the 10-1 for no goals looks like a silly bet particuarly with Gaston at 10-1 also. I think we really need to win this one and Aresenal have been very hot and cold away from home. We need to take heart from their trip to Norwich. We can do this and it about time we got something against them.
Difficult to predict a score here, Arsenal seem to be on good form but I foresee a hard earned 1-1 draw on Tuesday, Ramirez for us, Walcott for them.
I honestly do not have a clue what is going to happen in this match, but getting something out of it is not out of the question if we are patient. 1st goal is going to be huge, if they score 1st I think we'll push too high up and get demolished on the counter. Lets hope the lessons from the Emirates have been learned, although I think we are far less naive as a team than we were only a couple of months ago.
What a hypocrite. Really now? It's the evening of the 29th, and the game is on the 1st. So... 3 days? You posted the Saints vs Fulham match thread on a Monday, for a Sunday game... http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/172086-SAINTS-v-Fulham-Match-Thread
Yeah, Walcott was fantastic but they got so many gifts from the Newcastle defense. I honestly have high hopes for this game.

Who ever wants to do it has to be dropped from a helicopter into fratton park wearing a full Saints kit. With only a sammy the saint cuddly toy as protection. They then have to fight to the death and get back to St Marys. The winner gets to do the match thread.
