    Well, here we go again. This time it's the 'ammers knocking on our door. With Villa playing a stubborn Wigan side and Liverpool and Chelsea going head to head this is a great chance to gain some ground. Come on you Gunners!

    His career could be over and it wouldn't really bother me. I could never really consider him a gunner.

    i would rather move back song back to cb and buy a new dmf. silvestre is just an expense.

    Here starts our run of 9 straight league wins heading into our clash at Liverpool in April to decide who gets second!

    Come on Arsenal!

    If we won 9 straight games forget 2nd, we would be in a race for 1st.

    please, please, no more midfield of:

    song/diaby/denilson/nasri

    is just does not work at all.

    Well we can appreciate that he's bringing more Arsenal and ex-Arsenal players than United players over this summer to New York City. He will at least have been good for that :p

    Only if Wenger sees the same thing. Refer to Everton game, I keep wondering why he kept the same formula for 90' and didn't make any changes. It didn't work at all in my opinion.

    does any midfielder in the league, use their hands on a player, more than song or diaby? they damn near grab a guy by their shirt, and hold them back.
    who taught them that technique??

    I actually think this could be a tough game for us. We haven't been playing that well and have been letting RvP do way too much of the work. On top of that although not a spectacular team...West Ham have been getting some good results lately.

    Although I'm not sure we have that many other options than a Nasri-Diaby-Song-Denilson midfield, I think it could use some changes.

    Perhaps...

    -------Adebayor-------RvP--------
    Nasri---Denilson---Song----Bendtner
    Clichy---Djourou---Gallas---Sagna

    We've looked very good going forward when Bendtner comes on because he pushes up to make a front three that overwhelms the opponent's defense and it would be nice to see this team go in front early then build a lead for once (rather than waiting till the 75th minute to switch to this lineup anyways and having to score a couple goals to win)

    west ham's current form is very good, I agree, the midfield doesn't work, anyone notice how our forwards had to play so deep becuase there wasn't any wide play from the midfielders? He's got to change that.

    They've been playing well, but they're really painfully average. And they just sold one of their best players.
    Let's win this.

    midfielder johnny, midfielder.

    terry does love the "arms out, in the box, helicopter move", and will never get called for it.

    Yet another reason why it's becoming difficult for me to support England in the upcoming qualifiers...but that's for another forum.
    It'll be the re-run on Setanta at the pub in the afternoon for me.
    Best part....I'll have just finished work....and it will be happy hour.:)

    COME ON YOU GUNNERS !!

    Agree with the score, but RvP should and will be starting. The man is in sick form at the moment. I say his brace (1 in each half) and a late West Ham goal to make it nerve racking as usual.

    GO ON YOU GUNNERS!!

    The next time Christian Miles says something remotely intelligent.

    Best you get Setanta for the foreseeable future.
