Typical Arsenal start playing well before they play us...saying that Van Persie seems to be the only one keeping them going so stop him scoring....no Drogs but Torres is back and his confidence should be pretty good...

Me against the Parents this weekend! Should be interesting! :eyebrows:

Probably the first time, in a long while, there'll be no Drogba hype.

[termninja 5,290]

Drogba certainly made it easier for AVB. First Torres got sent of and now DD. Torres will rape 'em.

Wich players should play against arsenal?

My selection would be

Iva-Alex-Terry-Cole

Meireles

Ramires-Lampard

Sturridge-Torres-Mata

oh ok

We must win this game is very important Drogba is suspended but Torres will return , we have nice chances to win this game.

Im hoping AVB to decide Torres and Anelka together in Forward so maybe it would be better.

Fuck we just had one Derby match now another??? What is the situation w/ Mata?? I saw that thug from hoops yesterday give Mata a fore-check that would be awesome in a Hockey match:rolleyes: Looked like Mata was holding his shoulder. Fuckin' hoops :/

I'd have picked Torres over Drogba anyway, so I suppose it's made easier. I'd take a narrow win, but we could easily beat them.

It feels like an age since we played the Goonies.

We have played United 5 times since our last match with them

Everybody(in the forum) gets a beer if Torres scores 2 against the Gooners and Persie none.

I'm happy with that, though I don't think he'll get two.

I do, however, feel confident enough in us to think we'll beat them by a couple of goals. Drogba out isn't too much of a problem (as has been mentioned), as it makes Villas-Boas' team selection that little bit easier. Ashley Cole's absence, on the other hand, does worry me slightly.

Cole will be out for the Carling Cup match midweek, if I'm not mistaken.

where did you hear Cole will be absent from the game? why? :S

Cole has picked up 5 yellow cards which means he's suspended for one game. But the game will be the Carling Cup game against Everton, so it's not a big deal.

Torres scored a brace against Arsenal in 2009 in a 4-4 game (Arshavin scored all 4!). I wouldn't mind a repeat performance by Torres but with a Chelsea win of course.
