Just had a gander at the upcoming fixtures and we have a lot of tough games in a short period of time. Would you, or do you think a club would decide to play it's strongest team for the first two games, change it up for man city as we are going to get thrashed by them anyway so to give us a better chance against wet sham or not?
No. I don't think it would even cross CH's mind to do that. The Christmas period is always an exciting time for supporters and what better one than the upcoming one when we entertain the current Premier League Champions following a skirmish with the current Champions League winners. Leaving aside the morality of the Premier League, it doesn't really get any better than that does it. Just think two games like that just days after you've opened your presents of pants and socks and the effin awful tie!
I do remember when the Fulham manager a few years ago allowed his players a day off before the Man Utd game and in the press conferance said something about not really standing a chance against them... Fulham won I think it was 1-0
i'm annoyed that west ham play a game less over the festive period (and therefore will be fresher than us on new years day - the fourth game over christmas and new year is always a tough slog but for them it'll be easier now) now that arsenal have called their game off. as far as i'm concerned that is cheating - i cannot believe arsenal have got away with it. not one other game has needed to be called off because of transport worries and there are many games who will suffer from the same issues. cheats cheats cheats.
Pretty relaxed about our next five games as I only expected six points from the six games from Wigan on.
Quite right. Whatever next do they call games off for. The price of fuel has gone up? It's raining? I thought Londoners were the salt of the earth, lived through the Blitz, were friends of the Krays type of people. Can't they find another way of getting to the ground? Put on bloody coaches!
wenger moans every year that we play too many games over the festive period and i bet he was rubbing his hands with glee at the thought of an excuse to not play one of those games. its pathetic but not as pathetic as the people who have let this actually happen - the fa! its blatant cheating and how they can justify the postponement i'll never know.
No we can get a result against Arsenal and Man Utd we can get something from Man City why should you ever think we are going to get thrashed by anyone? such things happen but they are only blokes and nothing is given in sport OTBC!!
Exactly, expectation might not be high, but you never know. They might have 30 efforts on goal and hit the woodwork, off the line clearances dodgy disallowed goals and we sneak one or two. OR we are actually the best team on the day as we were against that other team from manchester
You can say that again! he also moans about every ref decision against him and any tackle that injures one of his players calling for more protection for his players and the opposing player to be banned for life..... oh and I used to quite like Arsenal when they had the defence of Adams, Dixon, Keown etc ... but now it's war, go my green and yellow canaries go mwahahaha!
