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

I agree. This weather needs to be moving west, big time, if there's to be any hope.

Will depend how hard it comes down.

Would probably need a decision early afternoon for fans travelling to the game.

What's he in the squad for then?
Part of me wants him to play a part before he goes. He deserves it.

I would love him to still be able to, and perhaps when the prem is wrapped up he will fulfill a role in the fixtures around CL matches.
But he's done more than enough for us already and is ready for pasture in real competitive fixtures unless we are desperate - no shame in that.

We have a lot of snow down here on the south coast and it's forecast to be worse tonite and tomorrow,i london will be freezing on thurs but thats all i think,it should go ahead ok

You live on the south coast? Never for a minute imagined that

I have flash backs to when we beat Liverpool in the final. The battered us a few day's later at Anfield. We never turned up. Think Arsenal will do, or try and do something similar. I'd rather have it called off. Heavy snow forcast for Wednesday and Thursday in London. Pitch will be OK. It's just fans getting to and from the ground that might cause the match to be postponed.

Think we're a different beast now. Not guaranteed to win but pep won't allow any complacency

Does anyone know if Ozil will be back available for them on Thursday?

Part of me thinks it would be a bonus were the game to be postponed, as we’d have Fernandinho back when it was rearranged and we’d be fresher for the Chelsea game. On the other hand, it’s probably a good time to play them after Sunday’s abject performance.

I agree ... postponing is best ... plus we have way too long break in March ... no games between 12 March and 31st March ...

Both City and Arsenal have free weekend 17/18 March and Sky has no games that Sunday to show either so makes perfect sense for all three parties (Sky, City and Arsenal) to re-arrange for that weekend ...

But then when did Sky did anything that made sense?

Hopefully some Champions League games to fit in between those dates
