Premier League: Derby County v Arsenal, Mon 28th at 8pm

[nazo]

7-0
Anything less and i'll be pissed.

 

[Bergy_1995]

Too right.

I want the lads to give Derby a good pasting. Nothing short of 5-0. Put Theo on from the start and he'll run their left back ragged.

 

[tam1886]

Theo is more likely to struggle with wind resistance than anything Derby can put in his way. I can see him scoring in this game, he was unlucky not to against Reading.

 

[Gooner_Stu]

Enough goals to make Sky's extended highlights all the more plesing. Agree with whats said, i think we should still aim to get 3 points for each remaining game and hope 2nd place becomes a reality.

 

[McIntyre]

Also, considering these could be Gilberto's final games give him another run out. Maybe bring Denilson in for Cesc to give him some rest.

Nice idea, but rest Cesc? For what?

Not for anything, except to prevent the poor guy dying of exhaustion. He's been running on empty the last few weeks. Mind you, he's still played well despite this. But with Euro 2008 coming up there's no need to run him into the ground any further. I'd prefer to give him some rest now than be forced into it at the beginning of next season.

Surely we can tonk this lot if we don't score at least 5 we have problems.

 

[number_0]

"its only derby" is my quote of the week.

 

[awooga83]

The ****est team in the premiership for such a long time they are the one team you surely cannot fail to destroy them, their crapness just won't allow it..

 

[A_G]

Fabianski
Eboue Song Gallas Clichy
Denilson Fabregas Gilberto Walcott
RvP Adebayor

Hopefully we give them a nice beating, I have a feeling Walcott's going to destroy in this match.

 

[HollandGooner]

Possibly, we will dominate it and they get a corner and score the 1-0, after that we really destroy them 1-5.

 

[AliBabaBrewer]

Fabianski
Eboue Toure Song Clichy
Walcott Denilson Fabregas Traore
Bendtner Van Persie

 

[AnthonyG]

Fabianski
Eboue Touré Song Clichy
Walcott Denilson Fabregas Traore
Bendtner Van Persie

Captain?

 

[Lancelot]

Fabianski
Eboue Touré Song Clichy
Walcott Denilson Fabregas© Traore
Bendtner Van Persie

Captain?

Fixed. :wink:

 

[GoonerGurjit]

Is Sagna still not fit?

I would go with:

---------------Fabianski

Hoyte---Song---Gallas---Clichy

Eboue---Cesc---Gilberto----Walcott

----van Persie----Adebayor


Subs:

Almunia, Toure, Denilson, Diaby, Bendtner

 

[algunner]

AW should give Fab, Ade, Kolo, Clichy and Gallas a week off.

. .Fabianski
Ebue Song Senderos Traore
.....Gilberto.......
...... Denilson ..... Diaby
.... Walcott ..... Betender .....RVP

Subs: Manone; Hoyte, 3 Reserves

No wonder AW went to watch the reserve games because he wanted to see which players will be going to Derby.

Thats what I thought

You know what? Bearing in mind the fates that tend to meet any Arsenal player on international duty, I'm actually inclined to agree with you.

Captain?

Toure/Fabregas
Hell, even Fabianski's been handed the captain's armband this season!

And actually, taking into account some of the suggestions made here, I think it would be good to give Fabregas a rest, and for Gilberto to play out some of his last games for the club..

 

[tam1886]

I reckon I could play Derby myself and still come away with a respectable result. If you're reading this Arsène, gimme a phone. No need to risk any of our players at all when I can take to the pitch, play in goals and beat Derby at a game of longshots.

 

[asajoseph]

Play Rosicky.

I couldn't give a damn if he's 'injured' - the best we can hope for is that he gets so badly injured we can claim the money back on insurance.
