Prediction(2) - FA: Arsenal vs Stoke City | 09/01/05

[shonsuperstar]

its simple, predict arsenal's goal difference will be at full time

 

[shonsuperstar]

i think we'll win by a comfortable 3 goals

 

[Gurgen]

When you see the squad we're picking from, I think it will be 3 at least and probably 4.

 

[seb_afc]

5-1

Well, technically, predicting the outcome of the game and predicting the goal differential are different. I mean, you only asked if we were to win/lose/draw. This talks about goal differential......you be the judge.

Honestly, I could care less about the score. All I know for sure is that Arsenal will win.

 

[gooner#1]

Fair enough.

 

[shonsuperstar]

thank you arsenal316. my point exactly.

 

[shonsuperstar]

the score and the outcome arent that similar. a big win would boost our confidence, but a close 1-0 win in the dying seconds is hardly a great result against Stoke is it.

But a win is a win.

 

[shonsuperstar]

but a win based on a great performance is much better than a lucky win, dont you think?

 

[gooner#1]

Yeah of Course, but sometimes a lucky win gives you even more confidence than a great perfomance .It gives you you that extra belief that you can do well, with or without luck.

 

[shonsuperstar]

where obviously not going to come to a conclusion, lets just agree to disagree. by the way, do you mind predicting a score, i've just voted on your poll ( arsenal win, what else)

 

[gooner#1]

No I dont mind, lol.Yeah I will vote.End of discussion :wink:

 

[shonsuperstar]

cheers. anyone else care to coment on their thoughts?

I'll let it go this time, but I think in future we should just have one prediction thread (no poll) where people just predict a win draw or loss, the score, scorers etc. Little point in having a different thread for each one which is how it could turn out.

You two can decide amongst yourselves who does that thread though. :wink:

 

[seb_afc]

a win is a win no matter what. especially in the cup. its hardly a confidance booster winning 10-0 vs stoke. its best to just get it out the way. although a win in the league by a massive goal difference is usfull as it may come down to it at the end of the season but in the cup it serves no use pushing on to get more goals when all it will do is tire you out with no product.
