Stoke have a stonewall pen turned down. Ref looking directly at it from 10 yards away.

A legend who wouldn't join a direct rival and try to stop us winning the league. Well deserved.

No other poster I so consistently disagree with more than lionsden. Costa, when when in good form, has excellent link up play and can hold the ball up as well as any striker in Europe. He can look a bit clumsy on the ball when he's trying to run at defenders and beat a man with his dribbling but hold up play is one of his biggest strengths.

Why no press conference?

Don't think there's any chance we'd be looking at him for that kind of money. Not for a backup. He's a great player who I love watching and id love to see him here, but the £30m I keep reading would never happen. I just hope he doesn't end up at City where I think he'd be a beast.

I think if we win the title Didier will retire, we keep Remy, and bring in another. I think Remy is versatile enough for José to feel like he's worth keeping. Whether or not Rey himself will be content as a rarely used sqaud player is another thing.

Eh, I don't know about that. Stop gap he may be but I think he'll be here for a couple of seasons at least.

Have to agree here as well. We have an excellent striker here already in Remy who can barely see playing time so I can't see where this guy would.Hoping this is like the Fredy Guarin link last winter where it's total bullshit.

Remy can barely get a look in now and he's a proven PL goal scorer. Where/when can this kid expect to play? Or is he Drogba's sqaud replacement for next season if he retires?

Newcastle fans celebrating Pardew leaving like they've just won the league. Think they'll be sorry when they realize he was actually doing a good job and that they were better off with him.

It's not even that his positioning is poor defensively its that he ALWAYS seems to try to lunge in with one leg to try to nick the ball rather than just staying in front of his man and denying him a cross or preventing a dribble. He lunges in and if he doesn't win the ball his man just breezes past him. That's the main thing he has to work on.

I think we're going to embarrass them again. José and the boys are now in "seige mentality mode." We'll win this big.

As always, when José speaks the truth and calls referees out on their bullshit he'll get a hefty fine and possibly a ban. That will probably in turn piss these cunts off and make even more obnoxious calls against us.

I mean, I'm not upset about it or anything but Southampton aren't exactly Man City where we'd need an extra shield in front of the back 4. Oscar played well against West Ham and I figured he'd keep him in there.

Fine with Andre and Luis rotating in but why drop Oscar after he just missed the Stoke match?

No excuses. All 3 points or it would be a huge disappointment.

Lloris the sole reason Spurs are still in this. Tottenham are just like Arse in these big games. The goal threat and menace they sometimes show against the small teams just disappears and they offer nothing going forward. Eriksen has been invisible and all they're doing is knocking it long and failing. Only a matter of time before the inevitable Rooney goal.

Can't see it myself. Think United's attack will be way too much for them and it could get ugly.

Truly do feel bad for him as a person. He's probably been humiliated for years now. He's always come off to me as a shy little kid who was crushed by the the weight of expectation and just never really recovered from serious injury either physically or mentally. I'm as sad as I can be for a multimillionaire athlete. Wish him luck in salvaging what he can of his career at his boyhood club.

I know. What I meant to say is that neither side will be fresh and rested but if we were I'd fancy us to destroy them. Since both teams will likely be leggy as the match goes on I think it'll be a closely contested one.

If we had a full week between the last match and this one I'd fancy us to win big. With only 2 days rest and it being away I'm not sure what to think. They've lost every match against the better sides so that gives me confidence. I just can't see us being able to replicate what we just did against West Ham on such a short turn around. Think it'll be a 2-1 victory.

If you guys want a roaring laugh, read page 820 in this thread: http://arsenal-mania.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=123182&sid=ba7e844eaf193cc646dad5d8c9f3d880&start=24570 One of these dopey cunts actually says Kieran fucking Gibbs is better than Azpi.

Even with a man advantage you just knew they wouldn't do anything. Arse are a better side with 10 men. QPR can't win away from home.

Christ, QPR are fucking SHIT. Each time I watch them I wonder if they've ever even worked on defending in training. Embarrassingly poor.

The most annoying thing about these sides isn't just that they play CL finals against us and then lose to our rivals, it's the WAY they lose to our rivals. They literally put forth no resistance. They just pull their pants down, spread their cheeks, and beg for it.
