So excited for tomorrow, return of 'Arry and one of the defining games of the season which has sold out 
For all intent and purpose we HAVE to beat QPR, thankfully the reverse fixture was 3-1 to us and a repeat of that would be nice seeing as they have ultimately strengthened by offloading Ferdinand and Cisse...
Lawro's predications are getting embarrassing too, since the new manager came in we have been predicted to loose every game and QPR have been predicted enough points to finish 6th... No idea how in his opinion "QPR are due a win" when they have been such a shambles this season!

Whether we're the in form (1 man) team against Arsenal or not, they will always up their game in the NLDs. Walcott who's been non existent the last few months will suddenly turn up and play a blinder. Your strikers might actually score as well. We will hopefully have Defoe back (prays) so we at least have a decent striker on the pitch.
Really won't stop worrying until 6pm on Sunday when hopefully we've got the 3 points and extended our 3rd position in the table.
No predictions, it could go anywhere.

Lawro is a ******* clown.
Tough for us, hard game but hoping for a draw.

Sadly, I can't see us getting anything from the game on Sunday. Please, can any fellow arsenal fans give me reason for optimism?
Yep I have no problem with him staying on for another year, if his performances hadn't bucked up from what they were during the first half of the season then yeah I'd question the sense in it from all parties but he's been nothing short of incredible since the West Ham 3rd round cup replay at the turn of the year. Next season surely has to be the last though right? He cant keep doing it can he?

It says a lot for the standard of the Prem
Remarkable achievement.

Lol...Laudrup is apparently the best player in the Swansea squad and he's nearly 50.
It's embaressing he is one of the faces of BBC football when he is a classless idiot.
Ha! West Ham (and probably Watford) said that about Zola when he was in charge! Would like to see them both sign them selves up for a quick game one day...
west brom may be able to get a draw at chelsea though i assume lukaku is ineligible?
pretty uninspiring saturday fixtures imo but sunday looks a good 'un
Lukaku will be unable to play, plus saturday has loads of good games...
No one wants to see a north london 0-0

It wouldn't surprise me to see Arsenal beat Spurs. It seems to happen every year. Arsenal will be in bad form and Tottenham the opposite, spurs fans get all cocky and then they bottle it and lose 3-0.
Perhaps without Cesc and RVP spurs might stand a chance.

With Madrid in midweek I hope Fergie takes no risks with the team selection tomorrow, rest the lot of them to make sure they're fit for Tuesday;
---------------Lindegaard---------------
Valencia---Smalling---Evans---Buttner
Nani---Anderson---Giggs---Young
---------------Kagawa
----------------Hernandez
Subs: De Gea, Rafael, Vidic, Carrick, Cleverley, Rooney, RVP
If we drop points then so be it but that team should have more than enough to beat Norwich

Reading the Wenger quotes on Sky Sports and one of the best was:
Our strengths being conceding soft goals at set pieces, playing terribly for the entire first half and having the most ineffective attacking set pieces ever. At least Sagna won't be playing though which means our goals against will automatically go down by 2.5.

This is pretty much our only hope, hopefully the muppet will see some rage when he meets his old team and do something utterly stupid

Hmmm dont know how this one will turn out, all im hoping for is either a win or a draw.
What im really hoping is that maybe our midfield will do a better job of protecting our back 4 as it leaves them far too vulnerable especially when teams counter attack us.

I'm hoping Monreal can whip some balls into the box for Big Sexy.

Yeah. Sort of looking forward but also not...
Normally at this stage in the season a win would be nice, now a win is needed...
