Too much concentration on RvP, and Rooney Valencia and Young will do us one. Better to treat him as an irrelevant prick that he is.

Our record at OT: :|
It stretches as far back as the invincibles era, so I wouldn't say it has anything to do with any lack of quality. We'll have Howard Webb as the ref, right? Well, this article is a good read:

Wenger goes to OT with a point to prove. Fungus knows it and simply sets them up for three points. I bet you we are all fired up to bomb forward. They will absorb our pressure up the pitch and break on the flanks catching our FBs off guard. 60% possession to Arsenal and 2-3 goals to United.

In the past we've just played tippy-tappy bollocks all over the pitch, pulled ourselves out of shape and they've just hit us on the break.
With Mertesacker back our positioning is a hell of a lot better. He's the key man on Saturday, forget anybody else.
The other major difference is that rather than sending up a team full of kids, who inevitably cave under the pressure, we should have an experienced side out there. Wilshere and potentially Ramsey and Szczesny are the only youngsters likely to be involved, and none of those three seem easily intimidated. People might slag Ramsey off but that boy is a real fighter IMO, never hides on the pitch.
Having disciplined internationals like Arteta, Vermaelen, Sagna, Mertesacker, Podolski and Cazorla out there is a big boost. We haven't had that in the team for so long.
I want to hate RVP, but I just can't. Doesn't feel right.

----Giroud-Podolski
Cazorla--------Walcott
----Wilshere-Arteta
Gibbs-TV5-Merte-Sagna
--------SZCZ
That's what I'd like to see our 433 transform into. We should play like this when attacking, so Giroud has a striking partner and Podolski gets far more often close to the goal.

Ehhhh...
Gibbs is very unlikely to play this game so it will be Santos on the left, needs to have a good game
say yes
forum master baiter
This is pretty epic to say the least:

Really can't stand the sight of van Persie.

League is very weak
I hope none of our lads our laughing/joking around with him at FT after we lose.

I don't think we're gonna win this - but I'd love to see a huge committed performance from the boys

I completely understand you. I just can't start calling someone a **** or wishing him leg breaks after last season, I ran out of superlatives describing him as a player. Not to mention the fact that he's Arsenal 8th all-time goalscorer. We'll see how he'll behave on Saturday. He didn't say a bad word since he left us and he stopped posting on Twitter.Glovegun said:
Even if we lose this but i want class performance from our lads at least, but am hoping to win its has been very long time we don't win there they are weak this season spuds win there fulham go there and score 2 goals the same with braga and stoke city i think we can score goals there but we really need to mark van persie cuz he is on fire at the moment.

I am more worried about the refereeing standard than our performance, which I am confident is going to be top drawer. United defence is poor and we can get a positive result. Return of Gibbs will relax my nerves, is he back for this game?
Come on Per, put ambitious RvP in your back pocket.

We're going to lose this one, the question is only by how much. Man U's defence looks shacky so we should be able to get one or two goals. So something along the lines of 4-1 or 4-2 sounds likely.
Will be interesting to see how much RvP celebrates when he scores. Will he do an Adebayor or will he be a tad more respectful?

8th all-time goalscorer, No. 1 c*** and Judas in the club history (possibly).Proof said:
He's the reason I haven't watched MOTD and any other Premiership games outside Arsenal. I have no good wishes for this piece of money-grabbing ****.

Not a chance RVP celebrates if he scores.
He may have done all he could to get the move (including the letter) but he'll have more class than that.
I actually fancy us to play well - my only concern is their wide play. We've got a better CM and CB than them, and while their strikers are class I think we can limit their service.
