Tomorrow we welcome Burnley to The Emirates, the Mancs face Wolves away and the Chavs are at home to Stoke City in the FA Cup.. We know Stoke can give any team a hard time in more ways than one and as much as it pains me to say this, but I will be cheering them on against Chelsea on Sunday –
OOps, I have just been advised this is a cup match for the chavs, all the better I say, we can put more pressure on them with a win!!
I can’t stand John ‘Thomas’ Terry and his bunch, I have little time for Stoke – but out of the two I would rather the Chavs win nothing, so a Stoke win would be good!
As for Wolves, old Mickey boy will play his strongest side against the Mancs, he can’t afford another hefty fine like he had when he fielded a very under strength side the last time they met. When that game was played I could understand why he did it. He didn’t think they would win and Wolves had a relegation battle a few days after that game but like ave said here, if it gets close at the end, will you feel the same?
It is close and no I don’t ave, I wish Wolves had played a full strength side and nicked a point!! This time around though, Wolves are at home and live on television; I hope they play up for the camera and stuff Sir Red Nose’s side.
Drop points Mancs and Chavs and trust me it will be at your peril, you both have a crap run in and we have a much favourable one – apart from Tottingham away, all are games are winnable.
That’s why Old Red Nose and Ancelotti are worried, that’s why they are again talking to the media, saying that no-one should write Arsenal off!!
It’s all a game, mind games and trivia yet again by the managers who truly believe we are in the best shout for the title since the ‘Birmingham Affair’. They are scared, rightly so too and we need to make sure we stay focused and not choke at this stage. We are so so close, let’s just concentrate on us, let’s just win all our games, sit back and watch the others drop points and then we can sneak in when it counts.
The next few days are massive for us, massive! Win two games in four days and we are still grinning from ear to ear, lose either and the challenge for ‘that’ trophy is over. It’s do or die time for the team as far as this season goes.
I honestly can’t see us dropping one point on Saturday let alone three – in fact I would stick my neck out so far to say this is going to be a high scoring game. I don’t however, see Burnley contributing to that high score one bit, other than being on the end of it!!
Not only does the team/squad need to believe it, so do the fans. Against Burnley, those who are lucky enough to be there need to sing loud, support every player vocally. Get behind the team we all love and help them to achieve what we all want them to!
This time Tuesday night, we could be two points off the top of the league and in the quarter-finals of the Champions League – How great would that be?
Come on Cesc, you can and will be the next Arsenal captain to lift this trophy.
Have a good day all….

chelsea match against stoke is a fa cup match ! schoolboy error! have we heard that in the last couple of weeks
Morning All
Chelsea play stoke in the cup so no dropping of points.
Morning Rico,
good piece and it’s good to start feeling positive again, starting with a win on Saturday!
Come on you gunners!!!
I thought the stoke-chavski game was a fa cup tie?
Stoke play Chelsea in the FA Cup not the league!! Come on, even I know that!
Thanks to those have corrected me on the fixture, I have ammended the post – at least it shows you actually read it
Morning Mustang..
I got the fixtures wrong, school girl error
But we win and the Chavs will feel the pressure, and thaks re the post, fed up with the doom and gloom
I am sure you guys are enjoying pointing out the error, but do you get the general gist of the article or are you only interested in pointing out mistake if others that I am sure you never make?
Don’t worry Mustang, they came to only to mention the error, they will be long gone now.. Thanks though
We win at the weekend, Mancs drop a point or two and then its ours to lose imho..
Wow rico the belief is infectious
and no smiley
Rico,
still a good piece, come folks let’s get behind the team and be positive. Let’s get rid of some of the negative energy from the season so far and support the team. The aggitation for the misplaced pass, the odd slip on the pitch, the shot off target, the flapping of our keeper, in spite of all our frustrations let’s learn one thing from Pompey, full support for the team come what may! This is no time to have divisions amongst the supporters.
United we stand, divided we fall!!! Gunners unite!!!!
Morning rsd – its how I feel, this is ours for the taking..
Great comment Mustang..
We are where we are with all the errors, maybe the errors are now done and dusted and we a due a run without them now …
let hope we start to make our own luck
we’ve been due some decent decision
and they’re starting to turn up
two game two pens
Good point there rsd, not often we get penalty decisions go in our favour.
i was saying we hope it even out before the sunderland game and that would mean a pen every game till the end of the season
let hope that happens
you gona watching the AW press conference
I don’t want Stoke to win at Chelsea. I want to see a draw so the Chavs have to play an extra game in a replay.
I hope to later, busy day though sadly
Morning jim, good point, i just hate the chavs and want them lose every game they play, sometimes it takes over any logic
would be nice a replay hey
thats no good am without sound today so will have to read the wapping slant on what wenger says
It should be on ATV, so i’ll see what I can do in a while
did you see 300 so called arsenal supporters sent shawcross emails of sympathy
you jest rsd? that is crazy isn’t it..
did you send a message to Ramsey via afc.com?
Noticed the “get well soon” t-shirts the Wales players were wearing at the weekend. Nice touch…..
I liked that too Mustang, nice for Ramsey to see
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/mar/04/ryan-shawcross-stoke-aresnal
not fans mind you just supporters
yeah sent a RSD one and an unmasked one
think the red action flag is nice have you sent in for money to that as well
didn’t see that one
http://www.redaction.org.uk/front.html
thanks for the link rsd
This for shows the support rambo is getting from a welsh spudnik.. not to harp on an issue.. but its pretty amusing.

Morning all.
Welcome aboard Sid..
Rico, I see you sussed out how to get newbies on lol..
I wouldn’t have a clue either who is still in the FA cup.
Hi Sid, thats a good one
i’d didn’t even know it was the cup this weekend was wondering why there was so little fixture
I only knew this morning as they were talking about the shit wembley pitch on the radio..
and how it has ended Owens season.. oh dear!
Morning ave – I honestly didn’t realise, just thought it was the PL, still, it let people have their usual early morning moan
i missed that is owen out
that is good news
the tilt is really all going our way
Fergie has only just said it in a press conference.
Hi rico.
Not that I could understand him..
Rotten for Owen though, I thought he would be in for a farewell WC with Beckham
Coz old red nose says something they will listen, if it was AW, people would say he’s just moaning again…
what is this i know we’ve had a golden genertaion that couldn’t even make it to the euros but lets face it there past it.
By the way whats is the that table they fight on in flash gordon it bugging me now
you know when flash and that green prince (timothy dalton). fight in brain blessed palace?
sorry for the ramdomness
“tilt”
0-10 to the girls v spurs go on
Beckham doesn’t deserve to go to the world cup either .. he sold his soul to the USA for money.
It’s the FA that keep him in as a shirt seller and to try to get the WC in 2018.
If I was Beckham I would be embarrased by it all.
Thats cracking rsd, just fab – if only I had seen that before
I want him to go ave
Do you believe in his hype ..
Big blotch of ink on the back of his neck, wears stupid clothes to get in the papers..
When was the last time he did anything on a football field?
But he scored from a free kick against Greece.. after he missed 30.. and it was a dive that got him that..
but the can use a dead ball
nb when cappello brought him on last year
0-0 i tinks and he gets the ball drops it in on a six pence and goal
even lemmon and theo cant do that
maybe they should stop running
the=he
Take Jonny Wilkinson then..
Surely you cannot have a passenger of a player who can score or assist a goal from a free kick every 10 matches.
I wouldn’t take take Theo either.. I would and I hate to say it take Lennon.
It’s like RvP taking all the free kicks.. since he has been injured we have scored loads.. When was the last RvP goal from one?
/maybe he should change sport in usa
didn’t wilko get offered a contract for a kicker
in that “american soccerball”
would do wonders for theo confidence tho
I don’t like all that side to him, but thats his choice – he has been good for England and I personally hope he is on the plane..
At least he hasn’t been shagging all his team mates wives
Thats it rsd, also, if Theo goes, Beckham is the only one who will pass to him
so its only rooney and berbatov that utd have till the end of the season that is good news
ave – you either love him or hate him, Becks I mean. He is a player who can change a game..
But we can say the same about Cesc and his dreadful corners..
I don’t want Theo to go either.. He needs a summer in the gym and resting his growing bones..
Berbytoff isn’t 100% fit either rsd, i think he needs an operation..
we do miss rvp from dead balls
dudu can take a good one
oh yeah i nb reading about that
so it just rooney and that itie kid
with cech out a ahole
things are getting very rosey
We need to sell Theo asap, more and more people are sussing him out and he won’t be worth jack in a years time..
All this injury crap.. and age .. excuses, excuses.
yeah i know trigg
we fucking love theo ay rico
guess we can only rate him once he get shifted to centre. after all henry was shite on the wing and then……….
Henry could control a ball, always has been able too, and he made intelligent runs.
Theo. without going all over it again.. just can’t.
Nothing stops Theo from moving into the centre sometimes yet he still doesn’t show any inkling that he capable of being an Arsenal striker in tight places.
He would be okay at Bolton or Blackburn where they play counter attacking football.
he’ll work it out in the end
but might take a few more years
wrighty started late he was in his twentys before he was any good
I don’t want Theo out – I want him to get better, how old was Henry when he came to us ave? How good was he at 20 years old??
He was pretty average until he joined us and AW moved him into the middle, Theo needs a chance to play in his right position, a bit like Eboue, at RB he is very good, right midfield he can be poor..
spot on rsd, he nearly quit and became an Engineer i think…
i have to pop out, be back soon – in the meantime rsd, you fight young Theo’s corner
right i have to spin the dog
and get some supplies in for the girls
catch you up in a bit
i’ll expect a transcript of AW Press conference
Good job you reminded me about that..
hit and run lol
Thierry won the world cup with France at 20..
did you see theo’s new hair cut by the way
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=152435&id=252829444015#!/photo.php?pid=3798247&id=252829444015
theo went to the world cup at 18 :-p
and was France’s top scorer . in that world cup.
So did another million spectators.
pmsl
so theo 21 a week on tues and is prob going to world cup bet you fiver he scores more than 3
right food shop
If he goes your on..
But Lennon and Cole will take his place.
I wish he could score three for the Arsenal..
he’s got 1 this year so he’s half way there
£3 million pounds wages per goal.. not a bad return..
from six starts thats not bad
AW is on
That was his fault for going against Wengers wishes to the U21′s and the full England team in the summer..
was against aw wishes for him to be called up by fa once they did he couldn’t not go.
have you got atvo with sound
my lip reading aint so good
all i can make out is
“I believe”
Nah.. it will be all over newsnow soon.. I’ll have a look.

rsd, 5-0, you wait for the post in the morning, and i have you to thank for that
say no more
that youtube clip is very very funny, i love it…
0-10??
Juventus will test Arsene Wenger’s desire to sign Felipe Melo by insisting on an Arsenal star in exchange.
The Gunners boss admits he is still interested in Melo, who he failed to land when the Brazil midfielder left Fiorentina for Juve in a players plus cash deal worth £21million.
The Turin giants would be open to a deal, but are eyeing at least one of Robin van Persie, Gael Clichy and Bacary Sagna as part of any transfer.
0 – 10 …. brilliant!
Sorry .. Hello all
rsd
Yo, 4pigs, havent seen you here for a while, thought you had deserted us
No chance, just busy at work…. soooooooo sad
Rico.. re your last about Melo, I just hope it’s not RVP, we have cover for the other two. I wouldn’t let any of them go personally – in any case it’s probably a load of old tosh!!
Is that the Welsh Tosh
You are right, its probably bollox! Silly summer season looms and this is just the start of who will we buy and who will we sell.
Work… I hate that word..
DAILY STAR: Germany playmaker Mesut Ozil has cleared the path for Arsenal to launch a £15m summer swoop.
This is interesting, its in our own ‘rag’ – the daily star
I’m off to Wikki the player
Mesut Ozil – he isnt bad, attacking midfielder/winger, 10 goals in 26 games this season for Werder Brenan…
Are we not a bit over loaded in the midfield?? Another LOB JOB
Am I talking to myself again
Work “i hate that word” … LMAO……
Me to, I do read but i just dont have time to get as involved as i would like.
You’re not talking to yourself Rico – I’m still checking.
hoorah
sorry final have sound so had to see what aw was saying today
Özil he’s not pretty enough to play for us

on the site
Thats me done for today, tomorrow is footie day, hoorah
stay safe rsd, see you tomorrow..
Nite 4pigs if you are still reading..
oops, no i havent, off for a quick check
“I remember what happened clearly and after the tackle went in I saw that my leg was broken and hanging at an angle. I have seen images of the aftermath of the collision again but I don’t want to dwell too much on the challenge as I can’t change what has happened.
“It is difficult for me to take everything in at the moment. I thought I had been progressing well this season, so of course this is a real setback. It is very hard to take but I am young and have time on my side. I had an operation last weekend and while it will take time for my leg to heal, I am determined and focussed on overcoming this injury and hope to be back fitter and stronger than before.
“I have been overwhelmed by the terrific support I have received from so many people including fans from many different football clubs. In particular, I would like to thank the medical team here at Arsenal for their efforts as well as the staff at both hospitals. Glenn Whelan was especially kind and I really appreciated his immediate assistance on the pitch as well as the medical support from Stoke City. I also want to say thanks to Arsenal for helping my family this week.
“Last but certainly not least I have been blown away by the fantastic messages of support from the Arsenal fans. I am proud to be an Arsenal player and your support has been incredibly touching. Finally, I want to wish my teammates all the best for the remainder of the season. I know that we are capable of winning a trophy and I will be backing them all the way.”
That is a really touching statement…
Get well soon Rambo
oh rambo rambo
guess that good night from me then
Offski now, see you guys tomorrow…
I’m still lurking… be afraid!!!! Only for a while … soz.
Oh you have really gone… nite then Rico, RSD and anybody else that is reading.
