EPL – Arsenal vs Newcastle – 8:00pm – 12/03/12 - SS1

To be honest, I agree with Ant, this 5pud2 is a bit smalltime. Funny on the day we've wiped the floor with them a couple of weeks ago, but not so anymore from my point of view.

I see no one else using Ch5ls3a anymore, for what it's worth.....

Yeah, exactly. It's like something Spuds would do if they beat us!

i just think it looks stupid.. not to mention that they are still ahead of us in the table

also not to mention that it makes the forum harder to read. (same reason we dont like text language)

I don't think you have any trouble reading 5pud2 and it's not like text language is often used in other situations.

As for the small time notion some of you used in regards to 5pud2, I just don't see it. Why even use this argument when we all know how things stand in reality.

Frankly, and I'm not saying this in a disrespectful manner, we should all just mind of our own business because if we start to judge each other on the basis of how we write a certain word we should just pack the bags and go home. It's childish and unconstructive.

you may not have trouble reading it, but others who aren't so fluent in English might have issue with that.

conversely, i wouldn't care if it was an actual word (like Spuds, etc). 2 numbers and 3 letters dont make up a word. they make up a passcode

as a member of the forum (and not an Admin per se), i just think it looks stupid (that was my main comment on it).

next

We should be well up for this , what with our confidence running high . Lets put the pressure on Spurs .

i agree. we should be pressing from the outset. lets hope we brought our shooting boots and lets make sure that if we DO score, we dont have another monumental collapse like last season

Why is the game starting so late? Daylight savings? I'm going to be leaving the office as soon as this starts so I'll miss it through my commute

Just to make sure: This game is on in an hour and ten minutes and not ten minutes, right? Us Canadian folk lost an hour yesterday so I always get confused about game times when our time changes but the time in England hasn't changed yet.

1 hour 10 mins mate, can't wait for this, think we're going to see a cracker.

Like the salty dry bread that turns into nasty stuff you try to rub off of your teeth when you finished a pack? I rather see a goal feast B-)

agreed.. hate the fact that we decide to start DST 3 weeks before Europe. always f*cks up my weekend for those few weeks each time

Think Newcastle will show us a lot of respect rather than going at us which will work in our favour.

Why's that even the case?

Makes no sense to me at all, someone please enlighten me.....

I think it goes back to 18th century (or even further) where they wanted to reduce the consumption of candles/wax by making the day one hour longer.

Hm.....that's perhaps true, don't know, but I wanted to know why this process takes off in Europe three weeks later than in America?

Good line up. The best we can offer and think we'll have a solid bench.

Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Song, Arteta, Rosicky, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Van Persie.

thats a strong line up.

Substitutes: Fabianski, Djourou, Santos, Ramsey, Benayoun, Gervinho, Chamakh.

Not bad bench too.

Gerv dropped for Ox, interesting decision.
Maybe Ox will drift inside a bit more often in order to offer us one more body there, in a crowded area.

Good line up nonetheless.

this is basically true.. they think it will save electricity..

newcastle going to play 4-5-1.

nufc: Krul; Simpson, Williamson, Coloccini, Santon; Obertan, Cabaye, Tiote, Gutierrez; BenArfa; Ba.

Strong lineup, the best we can put out at the moment.

Lets trash those northern scums!

Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Song, Arteta, Rosicky, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Van Persie.

thats a strong line up.

Apart from Walnut, quality line up

come on lads a win today will make newcastle and liverpool forget to catch us. we will be 8 above newcastle and 13 above pool. bring the win lads.

Oh ****, Webb?

I swear I read someone else's name two or so days ago, not Webb's.

Webb's the referee?

****.

We're due to have a penalty for us. The last I can remember is Aston Villa pre-christmas.

I'll go by my previous bet.

2-0 for us
RvP (P) and Theo

Webb's the referee?

****.

better then Dowd and dien.

and don't worry we are very far from manure so he will not making mistakes.

From ESPN Gamecast: With Thomas Vermaelen, Arsenal concede an average of 0.94 goals per game. Without Vermaelen The Gunners concede 2.33 goals on average.

I'm actually a bit worried about this game, depends on the team sheet really.

I don't think we'll lose exactly I just think a hard fought win or a draw maybe on the cards, we'll see.
