This is the one game where I fancied us to spring a surprise, Arsenal are not all they are cracked up to be. Having said that I'd be happy with a draw.

Before Saturday, would you have put a penny on us winning any of the next 5?

I will bet you £20 we do win one of those four, happy for money to go to charity. I'm the dexter of the soul drainers.

Yes, only for the fact we never lose all the so called hard games.

Doesn't that count for the next four games, in that case?

Purely testing how committed you are to our apparent failure. We can use paypal, don't worry. I'm assuming you are folding?

Hang on a second goldie, you said.Gabby wouldn't score more than six, I bet you otherwise, and you were not forthcoming. He only needs five more. And you didn't stipulate cups. Lol

Wrong.

I'm predicting now Gabby will score 6 goals or less this season.

I will take that bet. He will score more than 6. A £20?

A fiver will do me?

League goals only it's up to you. 5 more sounds easy right?

Arsenal are pretty gutless. Both full backs are pretty shite, Gibbs for me sums up the typical average English player in the league. Centre halves are scared stiff of pushing up, keeper is very ordinary and the trio of Flamini, Arteta and Wilshere look like they are running in treacle. Still though up top even at their worst tonight Wellbeck should have at scored at least two goals. They have two of the best attacking players in world football, Ozil (albeit in poor form) and Sanchez. Ramsey hasnt got going yet this season but is a fine midfielder. I expect the Ox to come back into their starting side at the weekend and Podolski also. Both were decent when they came on this evening. Wenger for me lost it tactically a long time ago and you can see it since in the soft centre running right through his side. How they could do with a Nigel De Jong type hacker in midfield.

Think our midfield three should have enough legs for their lot. High scoring I suspect, I'll go with 2-2. Think we will have plenty of chances and with Benteke hopefully an option for last 15mins we should have a real scoring threat.
