Arsenal PL game

[Nigels Tackle]

Serious doubt about the game taking place. Further snow forecast for tomorrow in the London area. As ever the problem is the safety of spectators in the areas around the ground. City team travelling by train but rail travel could be seriously disrupted too.

snowing now in london

Is this game going to go ahead? What's the weather situation like for manana?

According to John Kettleby the weatherman this hame is not in doubt. He says the snow will be nothing more than the odd flurry tomorrow. Arsenal have heavily gritted around the ground and surrounding areas to make it safe for spectators.

Just been reading a couple of Arsenal forums and quite a few of their fans want us to win by about 5 to nil to hasten the departure of Wenger.

Reckon a few of their players feel like that as well

Can't help but think they will get stuck in a bit, in a reckless sort of way. The stick these players have had must make them far more determined. I actually thought they were decent first half, and I doubt many teams could have coped with us in the early stages of the second half.

Can’t help but think that was the whole point of Neville going OTT on them.

Thought the same when I watched the game through on TV. I was amazed at his comments. There was no mention of Arsenal being that bad at the game or on the train after.

The BBC weather forecast for tomorrow in the London area is for heavy snow showers and breezy. Just checked. The game has to be in doubt.

Perhaps, I saw it more as Ratboy being salty because he badly wanted Arsenal to win, the type of typical rag dickhead you meet in the pub that will tell you how shit the team you just beat were.

[Original Dub]

Ratboy was venting because he was seeing total domination and a firm look at the future.

It became very real right in front of his eyes and he lost it.

It's either that, or he cares deeply for arsenal fans.

Rat boy tweet from this morning......

Well would you believe it. Sky have put me on commentary for Arsenal v City on Thursday night!! 7.45 kick off enjoy....

It doesn't have to be in doubt, BBC weather site for tomorrow at the stadium doesn't get above 16% chance of snow (10:00) and less for the rest of the day. So there is 84% of no snow............

[Mase]

I went past Arsenal’s stadium yesterday and earlier today and there’s no issues. It’s fuckin freezing but no snow sticking.

[Pedro1006]

Looking for one or 2 tickets for tomorrow. I live 15 minutes walk from the ground.

Razza is missing tomorrow with his hammy. Pep says he may be back for Chelsea or Basel

It was definitely the former, confirmed by his comments at the end when Tyler talked about him having to do the PodCast. RatBoy was nearly in tears (jokingly) saying that he basically couldn't be arsed after what he seen and needed to get out of their soonest; not wanting to watch us lift the cup.

The 1-0 half-time scoreline had them believing that the Arse could come back and even at 2-0 there was a chance, but that 3rd really hit hard and you could feel the angst in his voice before the 2nd, as it started to dawn that we were getting into gear whilst the Arse hit reverse.

Loved every minute of it, a real bonus to the day's events.

Arsenal are looking for volunteers to shovel snow around the stadium before Thursday's game.

Press officer, Mark Gonnella stated, "We are appealing to fans for help, if we can get enough snow brought in, there's still a chance we can get this game called off."

[South Stand Balti]

After much consideration I'm going for a 4_4_2 formation
Ederson
Walker Stones Otter Laporte
Danilo
KDB Merlin
Bernard Aguero Sane
I'm assuming Laporte can play at LB as reported when we bought him.
I don't think Silva, Silva and Gundo can play in the same midfield.
Gundo does not suit the dynamic and combative role that Fern carries out. He also can't play 2 games in 4 days effectively. He says himself that his knee will never be the same again and he has to manage it well.
Razza is out.
I'd be happy with a draw given the injuries, suspension and fatigue.

My big worry for tomorrow is that the media criticism of the Arsenal players, rather than the limp brained Wenger, will push them into action, both in a football sense and a physical one.

I am certain we can more than cope with what they attempt to throw at us in the footballing sense, but worry that one or two of ours may take injuries.

they were made not only to look foolish by City at Wembley, but cowardly too.

[dazby]

Agreed John lad. They won't be able to beat us with skill so they may go out to Pogba us.
