    Tough match as West Ham are fighting to make CL. Also our last match at the Boleyn Ground. Lets avenge that early season loss. Go Gunners.

    Oh me too. Allows me a whole Saturday afterwards. But especially this time!

    I had it down as a 3pm match and as such it collided with my trip to the airport. But now that I see it's 12:45, I should just barely be able to watch it before I go! As long as I'm all packed the night before.

    Damn, better than finding a dollar on the sidewalk. :D

    Will accept nothing less than a win. Doubting that LCFC will lose or draw at Sunderland, but fully expect Spuds will drop points against ManU on Sunday so we can make up more ground on them.

    Agreed. A bad result and I still have the whole weekend to forget it.

    WHU are good. A draw would please me honesty.

    Nope. Due to our circumstances, anything less than a draw must be considered bad.

    We are on our game. We will win this match. Hopefully Sunderland and Man U do their part.

    Yeah would be great to win, but don't see that occuring.. maybe if Cech was in, he could block out Payets FKs

    Sure Bilic and his lads are very tough at the moment, but we have higher quality on average. I'm convinced that if Wenger sets his tactics right and the players are truly motivated, like they've been the last few matches, then we CAN win this one.

    As for Cech, he's coming off a calf or hamstring pull... he'll be in the squad but I wouldn't bank on him being back to 100% of his usual capabilities, thus I also wouldn't bank on him starting this weekend. And the way Ospina has deputized, I'm OK with.

    Ah, yes. The team so desperate to make a name for themselves they've had to add "London" to their new crest. I truly wanted to see WHU relegated this year and opening the Olympic abyss in the Championship. Alas, they've come good on the pitch and are a legit threat for a European spot, no matter how much that thought abhors me. I dare say I'd rather have ManU in Europe than WHU, but I digress.

    Arsenal can't afford to give up cheap penalties around the box and ideally needs the first goal. I think the Hammers defense can be had but they're certainly a threat in attack. Gunners will need to do a good job holding possession.

    I expect to see more of Welbeck and Iwobi, thinking Wenger will ride the hot hands. Plus the lads know a win here would go a long way in securing their own CL fortunes for next year. To say nothing of potentially leaping Spurs this year. Counting on the defense to come better with their full week off.

    2-1 Arsenal.

    He said as much in his pre-match presser. And I'm fine with that. From a psychological, confidence point of view it makes a ton of sense. Still, Gabriel seems at any given moment just inches away from a game-losing-mistake. He makes me super nervous these days.

    I am feeling a bit nervous honestly. Hope Gabriel isn't our undoing today.
