My Preferred Lineup:

- - - - - - - - - - - - Szczesny
- Sagna - Koscielny - Vermaelen - Gibbs

My Score Prediction

- Arsenal - 3 - - - Norwich - 0
- Gervinho
- van Persie x2

three games without a win, so the last two games are really cup finals for us.

2:0 RVP, Gervinho

well the next 2 games are really must win we need to take 6 points. today we played well and we were unlucky at first half we should have score at least 3 goals. well lets focus in this game no need to make silly mistakes maybe will cost us hope we win the game.

Chesney

Sagna Kosh Verms Gibbs

Song Diaby (If fit)

Gervinho Rozza Yossi

Rvp

Massive one, nothing but 3 points will do.

Gervinho is never going to score, the prat needs to learn how to hit the target first.

Not really looking forward to this game, reckon it's giong to be a frustrating afternoon.

At home and Norwich isn't motivated anymore.

Must win and I think it should be an easy one.

By the time this game rolls around Spuds could be just a point behind and Chelsea just two points. I shall let Dr Emmett Brown sum up our predicament:

Got to score first. Fckn tired of having to come from behind to get a result.

Wouldn't mind seeing AOC starting, as long he sticks to his fckn wing.

AOC should definately start, as should Diaby. This is a massive game, win it and we'll get 3rd but lose or draw it and we'll be lucky to get 4th which is unacceptable really. Unless we get a couple of early goals, this'll be one of the most nervy games of the entire season, come on Arsenal!

Dunno, I don't feel as strongly about Ox starting. Not against it either mind you. I don't think he would have done any more than Gervinho today for example.

I'd start Yossi in all remaining games though.

He wouldn't have bottled the header Gervinho should have gone for!

The Ox might be inexperienced but he is one of our most talented players he could well have changed things.

Yossi would be a good permanent signing for us. Hope Arsène makes it happen. Been one of our better players in the last month or 2.

I think Wenger will stick with Gervinho and Yossi for the rest of the season.

Yossi would be a good permanent signing for us. Hope Arsène makes it happen. Been one of our better players in the last month or 2.

He is not young and i think he will not offer the same next year rozza is playing better and i hope we sign a younger and good attacking midfielder then keeping yossi.

whats with this 3-0 2-0 scorelines, norwich have scored against every opponent this season and i expect them to raise their game with the pressure off. They have holt who will work verms and kos really hard all game and have the ability to score even against a defence that is playing well.


2-1 squeeky bum time but I think he have enough to drag ourselves over the line at home especially, only worry is the early kick off, these games are always **** no matter who is playing.

- - - - - - - - - - - - Szczesny

- Gervinho (AOC) - - - Rosicky - - - -Benayoun
- - - - - - - - - - - -- van Persie

Whereas Stoke was a "must not lose" game this is your cliched "must win game". As many have said before nothing but 3 pts will do. Norwich safe in mid-table and should be ripe for the picking. Although if they get a tonking today from Liverpool then they will want to redeem themselves.

Yossi & Gervinho for me till the end of the season.

3

norwich are really poor vs liverpool today they dont have shot on target and they losing 2-0 with liverpool at Carrow Road.

3-1 to the Arsenal.

We are relying on Spurs to drop points against either Bolton and/or Blackburn.

I think Spurs will win tomorrow...Blackburn are poor defensively.

Bolton away might be a draw.

QPR can take advantage of a depleted and fatigued Chelsea squad.I think it'll be a draw as well.

Not winning the last two games (Chelsea and Stoke) was a little frustrating, but by no means a disaster. Not beating Norwich would be pretty ridiculous though, we desperately need 3 points to keep some separation from the rest.

3-1 Arsenal, with Rambo bagging a goal.

Agreed. Things are dicey enough without us going into the final game possibly behind other teams for 3rd. We've done well to dig ourselves out of the early season hole, but this is the game where we can make it count. Norwich are safe, but that can work both ways. We just need to get it done.

Lets just wrap this **** up now, please, ffs.

It's like watching a bandy-legged fun runner stumbling in agony up to the finish line of a marathon, after 6 hours of toil.

Anything other than 3 points is failure on a huge scale.

we're at home, norwich have been poor for a couple of games now, they've just been beaten comprehensively by pool(lol), they're safe from the drop and we desperately need the 3 points to cement 3rd.

The only thing i'm worried about is their playing style because they tend to work very hard and play on the counter, if we keep our focus and we take our chances, it shouldn't be that big of a problem.

going for a 2-0, rvp and ramsey.

If we cant win this then we do not deserve 4th. Norwich tend to play well against the big teams but they have nothing to fight for. They are already safe against relegation.

I cant wait for the summer and get this season over with. I say that third is ours if we win this and draw against WBA.

Norwich have lost their last 3, but did record an impressive win at WHL. I just would be devastated to throw it away so late, I have next Saturday off so will be watching this and just hope Arsenal don't let me (us) down.

Ches

Sagna Kos Verms Gibbs

Ramsey Rosicky

Gervinho RvP Benayoun

West Brom away is a tough one for our last game of the season, wouldn't want to be going into that with us needing more than a point. Im hoping a victory at home to Norwich coupled with our rivals hopefully slipping up will hand us 3rd place.

This is a must win.

I would start Chamberlain in this one. Norwich's defence were very poor today against Liverpool.

Gervinho and Chambo for this one, 2 offensive wingers to support better the attack, and kill this game early.

Benayoun works sometimes, but you could see how he acts more like an extra midfielder most of the time.

If Wenger tells Ox to focus his play on the wings, instead of letting him lose himself drifting everywhere on the pitch we shouldn't have much trouble scoring.
