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

When are the twats going to officially call this? I just checked trains down and the tube and all looks good. I don't want to be on my way down to London at half 3 and get a text saying Arsenal have canceled it.

They'll let you know at 3:35

First train to London for me is 12:30 today due to the bad weather, surely they will have made a decision by then?

All cancelled now ... until Sat

I’d be absolutely amazed if this game goes ahead.

It's no joke. Hopefully the players get down there without problems but if they don't make it I assume it'd be inevitable that Arsenal would be awarded the three points?

Trains to Euston are running fine. I don’t think there will be any problems with this aspect of it.

No thought for fans though as per usual and not just ours. Do they think every Arsenal fan lives in Islington?

You can imagine the sky meeting this morning

“fuckin hell lads Premier League darts tonight is in Exeter and there is a red alert on the weather in the south west- shall we just crack on anyway?”

“Nah, leave that decision til the last minute cos it’s City and Arsenal tonight and we have had our cameras there since yesterday so we can broadcast no problem”

“But what about the fans?”

“Eh.....what you on about? Our fans are sat at home in front of their fires. They will be fine”

If it's not cancelled and Kevin or Merlin sustain a bad injury I will be furious whether we win, lose or draw. Given his yellow ribbon issues with the authorities, if I were Pep I would keep the boys safe and sound at home.

Arsenal have postponed games in the past because of problems on the Tube with strike action, so surely this can be postponed???

The pitch is fine, Arsenal have confirmed that, its the surrounding areas that are causing concern

Team have just boarded the train at Piccadilly so there heading down anyway

The bottom line is they need to call it off now, half their so called fans wont be turning up anyway, so why put City fans through an horrendous journey that could go pear shaped at any time, once in London they may be stranded too, as previously stated, it can be rescheduled for the 17th March, no harm done, its turning into a farce this...!!!
