hopefully some Bolton fans show up also....their attendance vs. Fulham in the previous round was like 16K...
Henry is out vs. Bolton with a Calf Strain... http://skysports.planetfootball.com...=Henry:+Board+is+to+blame&channel=Premiership
This could go either way... lets check the predictortron 1) Arsenal want revenge on Bolton, 1-0 to us 2) Our defense against Bolton's style of play is poor, 1-1 3) Bolton are on a really good run of form, 1-2 4) Bolton might be concentrating on the league now, 2-2 5) Arsenal will be down-hearted and knackered, 2-3 6) Arsenal will realise that the FA Cup is all that's left, 3-3 7)Bergkamp and Reyes want to make up for being useless midweek, 4-3 Hurah, we'll win 4-3
Well, its not like we need him or anything. We can certainly count on JAR, DB, and RVP to score goals and not pick up stupid cards and bans.
Does it ever stop raining? Sometimes I truly wonder? I hope that Robin starts with Dennis. I hope that Gilberto gets a run out.
I just heard that Henry's out... Damn, that really sucks. I know Dennis is more than capable, but I worry about him working with RvP... It won't be easy cracking down Bolton. Big Sam really wants this cup and he's figured out how to fvck with our game. It's not going to be easy. I actually feel that Quincy should get a run, maybe not 90 minutes, but I'd like to see him over RvP, to be honest. Anyway, just read this Henry article where he talks about chasing perfection and how he's his harshest critic. I can really relate to what he's saying, which makes me love him more but I think it's sad for someone so immensely talented to be so hard on himself. I really hope he gets his CL medal next season; I can't think of anyone who deserves it more. Aww, I'm getting all sentimental now...
Apparently he was on the bench to serve as an emergency CB. Recall that Campbell, Hoyte and Cygan were injured and Eboue was ineligible.
I reckon it'll be Reyes and Bergkamp up front. We need at least one striker with pace, so I can't see Bergkamp and Van Persie starting. Team: Lehmann Lauren-Toure-Senderos-Cole Ljungberg-Fabregas-Vieira-Pires Bergkamp-Reyes Subs: Taylor, Clichy, Flamini, Van Persie, Quincy Result: 2-1 to the good guys (and if that twat Diouf can get himself sent off that would just make my day)
If we get a clean sheet against Bolton, which will be our fourth in a row, people will start saying what a good defense we've got!
If Arsenal keep a clean sheet the people can say whatever they want because there will most likely be a tick in the W column for the Gunners!!!!
FSC starts the pre-game at 4am my time - I'll be up an ready for it. Come on Gunners! Big win tomorrow!
I don't have a TV, so when I have to make arrangements to see the game at 7:00, everyone considers me a little strange. And then I tell them of my west coast friends who have to get up a truly ungodly hour to see the games. Actually, I like having the games so early, I watch the whole game, it's quiet and then I have my whole day. Must be great being out on the West Coast for American football. Games come on at 10:00am. My spiritual life would certainly suffer. Either that, or I'd have to find a church with a 4:00 service.
The only problem with early American football games is that you are sometimes already loaded by 11am and it makes for a really long day. 4 am sucks, but still I go back to bed for a couple hours and I still have all day to goof off.
Good ole Bolton, the home of some of our worst memories. The 2-2 draw in 2003 still hurts. I remember sitting on a beach in Nerja, Spain - listening to the game on radio. 2-0 up and I decided to track down pub to watch the rest. Wish I never had. Bolton will be slightly rocking with the news that their manager is being touted as the next Man City boss. However, their up-an-at-em approach is guaranteed. Arsenal will dig in. I can see Pires et al on fire early on, 3-0 up after 70 mins. 3-1 win.
I'd have to rate that the worst. Worse than Valencia, worse than... well, I won't mention it. Need...Positive energy. I hate Bolton. Anyone doing pbp? I'll rep you. It's probably two points or something like that. Anyone?
I'm not a huge fan of Gilberto, but having him back will certainly give us some fresh legs out there as long as he's match fit. Now if we can light a fire under Reyes's ass to score a few we will do well tomorrow.
I just read the preview and it looks like Gilberto isn't match fit yet, he's scheduled to play for the Reserves Monday. Jens is in goal and Eboue is on the bench from what Wenger has said. Can't wait for this one. My buddy at work is a Bolton Fan so we've been talking sh1t to each other all week. I really want to have the bragging rights on Monday.
We will win this one, sure thing. I will be sleeping like a baby through the entire match. but when i check the score it will be 2-0 Arsenal. Trust me, when i don't watch we win every time, i'm doing everyone a favor. The game is at 4 and i will be checking the score around noon. Have fun with the win while i'm sleeping.
