Arsenal (a) pre-match thread (Game given go ahead 1350hrs)

[typicalcity...]

A lot will also come down to if we have a referee or a cheat in charge

Andre Marriner I believe?

 

[Turner92]

Go to a back 3 with Ferna been out Ederson Walker Stones Otamendi Laporte Danilo Gundogan Silva De Bruyne Jesus Aguero

 

[K10&S21]

Wonder if Danilo could play the Fernandinho role

think we could see this

 

[Bozo]

3-0 City.

 

[shemnel]

finding us a bit hard to 2nd guess at the moment. If we see more of the same as Sunday, we should pick up points.

Better off postponing this, weather will be bad and travel difficult, move it to the free weekend when the 6th round of the Cup would have been.

Coped well enough with a non referee in charge Sun
Though he did provide protection against fouling this time and didn't fall for two potentially critical dives by Arsenal - a pen and second yellow agaiaga fernandinho so still some hope for better standards

Was just looking at the forecast and I suspect that this game will be called off given the warnings for snowfall and travel disruption.

That would be perfect with the game on Sunday also in mind.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Should be a wonderful atmosphere in the arse seats.....a quick goal of us and it'll turn proper toxic.

They looked like they had been given a proper lesson by us at the end of the game, good luck Wenger in getting them up for Thursday, he'll need it.

Arsenal have cancelled games before because of the surrounding area is not safe for the fans.

 

[lionheart]

Given recent form, a postponement would definitely be to the Londoner's advantage and might also help keep the title race open for a few weeks longer. As a result, you can bet on the game being called off.

We already have 1 postponed game(Brighton),Dont want one more,Confidence is flying at the Mo,lets carry it on..

 

[worsleyweb]

I think this will be called off. Just leaving London and absolutely Baltic.

 

[bumbleblue]

If this gets postponed, when is it likely to be played? I am guessing the next round of FA cup games or are arse still in that?

 

[geoff clipp]

No snow forecast for london on thursday so can't see it being called off. There was a weekend in December where the snow stuck quite a bit by london standards and nothing was called off.

If the argument for moving is purely down to fixture congestion then i'd have thought the conversation would have been had a week ago when we knew we were no longer in the FA cup.

 

[rnblade]

Tough game as I don’t think they’ll make the same mistakes twice. It will be difficult without Ferni and co.

[kaz7]
