Pompey V Arsenal pre/dur/post match thread [R]

[deeplennon]

Ooh, looks like we need a new game thread. Have the police found Catfish's body yet?

Lucky us, this game is live on FSC at 9:15am pst, 12:15pm est. Annoying "pre-game" coverage and penis enlargement commercials to start 15 mins prior. At least it's not at Highberry!

I believe this is what we need to do this week: WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN.

Pompey are in a relegation battle, so never put anything by a team fighting to stay up. However, the team form and work rate have been great lately and I don't see why it would change.

2-0 to the Arsenal.

Walcott! I want my Walcott! Not that lousy player Song.

[Gunner Phan]

Hopephully the boys can continue this phine run of phorm and take home a victory. I'm thinking....2-1 gunners with pompey scraping a late goal to make it interesting.

Up the arse,

Hopefull we'll get him.... He scored tonight.

Walcott! I want my Walcott! Not that lousy player Song.

[Gunners11]

2-1 to the Arsenal with Walcott netting the winner after TH14's opener.

I think you put it quite well. Pompey are battling to stay alive, but I think PFC are going to come up short and go down 2-1 to The Arsenal. Fratton Park may be rockin loud, but the lads will silence the crowd early on with some outstanding play and dominate possession.

Go on Arsenal!

Arsenal 2 (Henry, Adebayor) Portsmouth 1 (LuaLua)

Sergio Mendes has been on fire for Pompey. His goals the past two weeks were absolutely stunning. Oh, and I'd like to see Diaby (if he plays) get stuck in and shave the head of Andres D'Alessandro. That dude has the worst haircut of any footballer in the EPL :eek:

Hopefully no injuries before Tuesday's match :)

[Martin Daoust]

2-0 or 2-1 to Arsenal, although on our recent form if we get on top early there could be 4 or 5 for us. West Ham rested half their team ahead of the FA Cup quarter-final and those who played were thinking ahead to it and that had as much to do with Saturday's result as anything else. If Pompey restrict us playing all over the pitch it will be tight if not their keeper would have to have a blinder to keep us under three goals....

Only beaten by his voice, squeakier than Beckham's, Joe Cole's and Andy Johnson's combined and in Spanish.

[total_football]

6-0 Arsenal, Henry wtih a hat trick and 3 assists....wide-open game, Arsenal carve them up, chances galore, many go begging..


Oh, wait it's an away game...oops

which means.

0-1--Henry nets the game-winner in the dying embers of stoppage time in a tough, physical, hard fought match with a scarcity of chances created..

[gunner0007]

I say 3-0..... Henry with 2, Pires with 1.

[OklahomaGunner]

3-1 to the Arsenal.

Adebayor with one, Henry with one, and I see Diaby opening his account.

A moment of brilliance from Mendes and Lua Lua create a nice goal for Redknapp's boys.

[No1ArsenalFan]

I'm predicting a very hard fought scrappy 1 0 or 1 1. I can't see this game being a rout. Two form teams coming up agains each other. Although i'm sure our lads love going to fratten park especially since that FA Cup game when we thrashed them 4 0 and they were still cheering for their team at the end.

Hopefully we can score a couple nice and early so Wenger can rest Henry and Cesc for the Juve match.

0-2 (Henry, Diaby)

[Grand_Rapids_Gunner]

I don't believe we can hold a clean sheet against Pompey, as they have been playing pretty well as of late. But I do think that we should win pretty comfortably. 1-4 Arsenal (Mendes)(Henry, Hleb, Henry, v.Persie)

[michaec]

Pompey are rubbish and a couple of good results against an understrength West Ham side and a Jekyll & Hyde Manchester City don't change that. I say we wipe the floor with them and they cheer Thierry Henry off the field again like they did a couple of years ago.

[gunner0007]

Will Sol be playing? I rather Sol play this game and Senderos play the Juve game.
