Come on lets have some bloody optimism!

[Stat Brother]

If we play to our best we'll 'given a game, alright'.

I just have a gut feeling we'll shoot ourselves in the foot, as seems to be the habit for really big games.

If Greer and El Abd played more times against little nippy forwards, I'd be happier about tomorrow.
But as they are not The Championship Way, that's where I think we'll struggle.

Our 9 other players could definitely pull out a shock.

£10

Only 300-1.

Not 30,000-1,

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

£10 on Brighton to win and £1 on Spanish Dave to score first and win 2-0

The more people who think we will win will moan when we dont after the game !!!

That said, people said Newcastle would smash us and they slightly didnt - im going 2-1 Arsenal if they play a full line-up - if its a weak team then we will snatch a win.

Nah, not this weekend.
Even if we put up a Liverpool-esque comedy of error, I can't the moaning.
Lets face it, nobody is expecting us to bitch the game for 70 minutes then allow Arsenal back in.

Our vocal minority certainly will, notice how WW and Mutts Nuts to name a couple havent been seen since we were losing against Blackburn - they will still find a reason to moan and for that id love us to win !!

This is a game that we could easily win if the wrong Arsenal turn up. Their fans don't know which side will turn up from game to game and I've posted on another thread IMO CMS may hold the key to an Albion victory because their centre defence doesn't like pace, hope he's got his scoring boots on tomorrow. Also WB needs to play from the start cause Gibbs is not a good fullback and those infront of him don't cover so push him back and there could be panick at times in their defence, let's have a real go at them, we've got the forwards to do it.

I'd love a draw and a short trip to the Emirates... hope for a win obviously but a draw would be fine by me.

PS: Why are there 5 stars next to the forum link for this?

Oh come on, they don't count!

 

[Westdene Wonder]

Arsenal need a trophy and the cup is the only chance they have so they are likely to put out a strong side,hope Thomas is in goal,that should keep the score down to a reasonable total,we are going to have a top gate so more cash in the bank,cant be all bad.

This is a high quality, limited edition thread.

 

[Lethargic]

I'm optimistic they are there for the taking the Gooners seem to be more optimistic about us winning than we are, wonder who we went in the next round?

Think you'll find Withdean Wanderer is currently serving a ban.

 

[the wanderbus]

if Arsenal play well they can take teams apart but they rarely seem to be at their best. I'm expecting to watch us knock out another premiership side

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

I think a 2-1 to the Albion is on the cards.

Errrmmmmm

 

[dingodan]

Errrmmmmm

someone voted up this thread. Not sure how mind you because I can't seem to do it. Perhaps a mod really liked it?

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

2-1 to the Albion written all over it.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Arsenal have conceded in every one of their last 7 away FA Cup Ties
