Arsenal v West Ham United | EPL | Sat 20th March 17:30| ESPN

[OohtobeaGoonerGal]

Well, well. Our latest win has helped further prove our title credentials of showing we're capable of gaining late wins in less than satisfactory performances. Our next league match is another 5:30 pm kick off, and it's a London derby.

We all know what happened the last time, squandaring a 2 goal lead. But this time we're at home, and West Ham won't have much confidence after getting pounded against Chelsea.

Our title challenge continues here.

 

[Rorz]

An entire week to prepare for this one, no excuses for not winning this.

 

[dutchMasta]

Cesc, Rossa and Song back for this. On a beautiful pitch. With a 1 week break. What a nice reward for that scrappy Hull victory.

 

[nazo]

Give me another win but this time don't leave it so late. Please? My heart can't take this for much longer.

Good to have Cesc and Song back.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Whenever I think of West Ham I think of those bloody two points we threw away there earlier this season. We'd be top of the league if we didn't go ahead and hand them a draw.

But anyway, time to make amends. Three points here would help erase those demons... and put more pressure on our title rivals. We can do it!

no sense in thinking like that because i'm sure chelsea and man u also have a game over a league season where they threw it away. every team in the league can say "if only we didn't ..."

Fab and Song back should hopefully mean a rest for Nasri and a bit more solidity in midfield.

 

[KingReyes]

Nothing less than win again. We're at home and should have two of our most important players back hopefully. With the Mancs playing Liverpool and Blackburn hosting Chelsea there could be a chance to make ground on the ****s

 

[SA Gunner]

Big win at Hull, especially with that useless refereeing team.

We need to make amends for the two goals from the Hammers.. who will believe (albeit for a short time) that they can build on that. Looking at their performance against Chelsea today they can come to the party.. and make life difficult for us.

Its good to see Bendtner making an impact yet again, as well as the good performance by Walcott. This sort of boost as well as the return of Fabregas and Song point towards a good result for us next week.

This is going to be the game which makes everyone sit up and seriously notice us again (top of the form table with six wins if we take it). Because of this alone Id make this game twice as hard.

Yeah, I know. I suppose we could look at today's match as two points gained as well.
But still, it's hard not to imagine 'what if'... especially because of the ridiculously fine margins at the top of the league this season. What if Diaby hadn't planted that header past Almunia? Imagine the position we'd be in now. Stupid to think like that, perhaps, but still hard not to.

 

[yakso]

Let's just win this one without the last minute drama. I can't stand those injury time stuff every week. Not good for my health.

 

[MAK 14]

Delighted to have Song back this game. You never know, the rest might of done him some good - he looked like he needed a rest when he got back from the African Cup of Nations.

Anything other than 3 points really isn't acceptable here.

 

[Swish]

A poor looking Chelsea overcame them quite easily today thanks to West Ham pretty much rolling out the carpet for them. Green looks in fine form though and no doubt he'll be given another man of the match performance by our lads, but I still think he'll concede a couple.

I can see Fabregas grabbing a goal in this one.

 

[Meatwad]

hull was our 7th injury time winner this season.

Christ, I knew it was a lot but not that many.

Can you name all of the scorers? :wink:

 

[otfgoon]

After watching us play on that pitch I'm so glad our next game is a home.

Spanish Porn "Star"

Still a whole week of training to get through without getting any new injuries MD. That's a bold lineup on the basis that nobody from this game got injured.

 

[Kain]

Any chance Zola will rest his frontline like he did today against Chelsea?
