2013/14 Premier League

[Game_Breaker]

Tuesday - CFC
Saturday - LFC
Wednesday - BVB

The week the Goners' balloon pops I'm tipping.

So you're including a league cup game where we'll field a 2nd string side?

No. Noone cares about the Cup game. As long as we get no injuries I don't care if we lose by 10.

LFC, BVB, MU. We have that within a week, and all 3 of those games actually matter.

With the League games, if we beat Liverpool and then go to Old Trafford and get all 3 points I'll firmly believe we can go all the way. If we win against BVB and I'll think we'll win the group and get to the final 8.

If we lose all 3 we lose the League lead and we're in danger of not getting out of the group in Europe.

That is the 8 days that makes us or breaks us.

You're playing a team coming off only 48hrs recovery. At home.

You have everything in your favour.

Couldn't beat them at home, no hope in NRW.

His point (I think) was that it's an early round Carling cup. Noone cares about. Not having any injuries is more important than winning or losing.

Especially because there are 3 actual big games starting next weekend.

Couldn't beat them at home, no hope in NRW.

We won at Munich. We can beat Dortmund.

 

[Helmet Man]

maybe they pull scary faces

Wenger would win.

As will we...

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

As will we...

The difference being that your second string will have players like Willian and Mata. Ours will have the likes of Chuba Akpom and Thomas Eisfeld.

We can't all afford to fill our reserves up with 20 mill pound players.

As long as don't get any more injuries I couldn't care less how the game goes. I'm guessing Wenger will think the same. A win would be nice but i'm expecting 3 or 4 nil.

We've got three infinitely more important games coming up after this. They will define our season, not our performance in the mickey mouse cup.

Couldn't care less about Tuesday, you should've thrown in the United game after the Dortmund one.

The Liverpool game depends on what Liverpool turns up. The one that couldn't break down a 10 man Newcastle side (that just lost to the worst team in the league) or the one that crushed WBA.

2-2 i reckon.

No we won't, Mourinho won't field the same team that played City

and even if we lose against Dortmund, our group stage exit will come down to our game against Napoli, although a point there will be helpful


So that just leaves Liverpool going to the Emirates and "busting" our bubble

Love that clip, with the sound you can hear Big Sam's exaggerated laugh. What a dope Chico can be sometimes.

Many thanks

Hey Arsenal fans, how good is Bendtner ... :lol:

Better hope Giroud doesn't get injured :shock:

And his haircut is THE worst in the premier league right now, even Jonjo Shelvey wouldn't wish for hair like that.

Apparently Rogers LOL'd when the Goners submitted their Suarez bid in July:

Wenger probably LOL'd at your lineup this morning.

 

[Jack_Napier]

Gunners just far too good. We looked ok in the first 20. Then Carzola went bang and it was game over. What I wouldn't give to have a midfield that's even 40% as effective as arsenal's. Henderson and Lucas are deadset passengers. Gerrard as well to some extent.

The 1-2's around the box from arsenal was lovely to watch. Shit myself every time it happened as it carved us up, but still lovely to watch none the less.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

I don't think Gerrard can work as one of the deep midfielders. Just not mobile enough and defensively his positioning is iffy. CAM or nothing imo, which is tough because you like to play two strikers and even if you were to play with a CAM it'd probably be Coutinho.

I'm thinking Gerrard's days of being a nailed on starter are, or at least should be, numbered.

 

[Jack_Napier]

Yep, can't really argue with that. Just doesn't have the legs anymore. Also doesn't help him having the scrubs he has around him. Seriously, Henderson and Lucas are rubbish. Henderson wouldn't get a start if he was still at Sunderland.

Whatever they're smoking at the Emirates tell them to keep smoking, Ramsey is on fire!!
