@heynonneymouse, i guess i asked for that. When you boys played footy 5,6or 7 years ago it was the best thing i had ever seen in my life. It was like having a coke habbit and Wenger being the dealer. At this moment it feels like im been sold second rate gear. Thats all i can say mate. Deep down inside as a football fan im sure you all out there understand exactly what im talking about.

I predict an away at Stoke win for Arsenal and closing the top considering,

1. A must win for WHU to stay at mid table.
2. A must win for MU at Carling Cup Final, so players need to be fit and form for the Cup.Key players will be rested.Draw or lost at home for MU.Dropped points.
3. Stock must win for the FA Cup running.Pulis is pushing everything he’s got to take Man City.And are now safe in the mid table of EPL.Draw or lost to Arsenal not really matters.Need a rest of key players after that to take on away at Burnley.
4. Chelsea away for Inter in CL.Must win or getting away goals.Will not in form after CL and a Draw or lost to Man City at the weekend.Dropped points.
5. Man City if lost or won at Britannia will force them to take down Chelsea either way.To stay at 4th on table to rivals.

Both top will drop points.

@icehammer – I like shambo’s posts and he makes good points but I feel I’m generally more positive about The Arsenal than he (no offence Shambo). And one point where I particularly disagree with you, Ice, is your crtiticisms of Arsene Wenger. Frankly they mostly sound like wind-ups to me -and coming from someone who isn’t even an Arsenal supporter I take exception to that. Take your latest comments for instance: ‘How the fuck can you stomach that shit’?? We can ‘stomach that shit’ because he’s OUR F*CKING MANAGER and there’s barely a football team in the world who wouldn’t tear their arms off to have him in charge – including your mob. Do you think whoever the hell owns West Ham these days wouldn’t kick Zola out on his skinny arse in a minute if AW told them he’d be willing to take over?
The man’s a legend. His contribution to English football generally and Arsenal in particular has been absolutely bloody astounding and fantastic. And right now we’re 3rd in the table and looking at yet another years qualification for the Champions League, one of the many successes he’s brought to the club.
I don’t always agree with what he says and does but why the hell should I? He gets asked a million questions on every subject every week and, according to the media, is always helpful and polite in answering. How much utter crap would you come out with, week in week out, Ice, if you had a mic shoved in your face every day and was asked to give an opinion?
He’s not bigger than Arsenal, ultimately no one is, and the club is us, the fans, but it’ll be a black day in our history when Arsene does go – and anyone who thinks we can just get Carlos Kickaball or any other famous foreign manager in to win us the league again is going to be in for a shock when that day happens.

IMHO, to say that Arsenal has a good run in is on paper fair but in reality that’s not going to happen. How many of those ‘bottom half’ teams will be fighting for their lives. There will almost certainly be a few surprises for all the top teams in the run in and seeing as Sunderland really should have made it 1-1, don’t count your chickens. Stoke, Burley, Hull, West Ham, Birmingham, Wolves – looks fantastic doesn’t it! There’s at least 1 or maybe 2 draws in that lot.

The way Stoke, Hull, West Ham and Birmingham have been playing, I’ll be happy with 4 wins, a draw and a loss from this 6.

I said last week that being an Arsenal fan is stressful and sends my blood pressure up. Watching Arsenal should come with a government health warning like the smokes.

My XI versus Stoke:
Almunia, Eboue, Gallas, Campbell, Vermeulen, Song, Diaby, Cesc, Rosicky, Arshavin, Bendtner. We’ll need the height of Sol, Bendtner and Diaby against those long throws!

What I’d give for a comfortable 2-0 win on Saturday, but something tells me it won’t be!

@nairobi, that’s the comment i was talking about yesterday from MOTD. “Then our pride will be being able to say we went as far as we could” Shambo @andy, i know i dont wear the colours but come on. How the fuck can you stomuch that shit. ” We went as far as we could” He is trying to say that it’s the best he could have done for you supporters this season and no matter what position the boys end up, “they went as far as they could”. So you should be satisfied with that. What does that say for next season. The same fucking same. He needs to be sent packing upstairs. Sorry boys. Look at the state of upton park, but we are still bringing in bodies by hook or crook, still trying to kick arse. We might fail but we will go down kicking and screeming. Up de ammers.

@heynonneymouse, are you shambo in disguise. Agree wid you totally @Algunner, Wenger has been playing that card for to long now. Eboue and Song had a very good game and as i have been saying from time since the boo boys got on Eboue’s back a while back he is coming into his own. Best right back right mid/winger in the team. Actually starting to add end product to his repertoire (good word ice). What is Arsenal’s best 11 team now, including injuries.

Quoting Wenger from the Arsenal Newsletter :

“Our run-in is said to be easier than others, but I believe we still have difficult games. For example, we go to Stoke City this weekend, and we know that is going to be another tough challenge for us.
But we promised ourselves to give our best in every game until the end of the season. Then our pride will be being able to say ‘we went as far as we could’.”
