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

[trotsky]

Arsen Whinger has asked as many fans as possible to turn up tomorrow with shovels. He believes if three thousand turn up, then there will be a great chance of shovelling enough snow onto the pitch to get the game called off ;-)

That was the game Silva ought to have grabbed a hattrick and the third would have been a beauty. What a pity that was..

That Fulham game was also the one where the official held up the added time board with 3 extra minutes on and a groan went up from the crowd. Followed by mass singing of "it's fkin freezing we wanna go home".

I would keep away if I were you @trotsky there maybe some with icepicks there haha ;-)

I am going for the game to be called off, shame really as am I looking forward to it

 

[BoundedCascade]

I hope the game is called off because I don't have a chance to watch it. Although it would certainly only cause more fixture congestion it would allow us to concentrate more on Chelsea

It wouldn’t cause fixture congestion as we have a free weekend.

Game on .....
Ballet on ice again?

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Think if we were at home looking outside just now it would be off. I'd guess with the state outside that Chelsea could be jn doubt with the roads as well perhaps.

 

[SWP's back]

I’d quite like an early decision on whether it’s on or off so I don’t start looking forward to it and am then disappointed.

But they don’t care about fans like me.

cant see anything on PADDYPOWER even offering odds on the postponment for the match.

Last night the odds for it being cancelled plummeted from 20/1 against to 1/5 on.

Looking out my window, couple of inches of fresh snow, with the prediction of more around 6 pm, gusting winds, -4 currently, max temp -1

 

[RandomJ]

Be safe if any blues are travelling for this. Roads are a joke. Not a grit truck in sight of course.

 

[come-on-barney]

Travelling from South Wales on the 13.40 train so hope they make a decision this morning although looks like it will go ahead as no mention of anything this morning.

Sorry if it’s been said but have we been told a time of when a decision is being made on the game ?

Cant see any reason for it not to be played based on that forecast. Cold as fuck mind. At least the Arses players will be warm as we pass the ball around them

Heading in to London for work, there’s about an inch of snow on the roads heading to the train station.

I can’t see it being allowed to go on but ticket with me and plenty of layers just in case! Getting home afterwards might be the fun bit tho...
