Every time he mentions ‘Gatesy’ or ‘Warky’ you know he’s about to mention it. I never tire of hearing him being so bitter about it.

[Des Little]

We will forever owe these bumpkins one for Mick Mills’ weasely behaviour after that famous game at VP. Away win.

Surely a win against Ipshite.

2 nil to us. kodjia and grabben

Terrible broadcaster, I can't believe how many people find the likes of him and Mike Parry listenable.

Last time I went to Ipswich we'd got to our seat to see Luc Nilis sprawled on the pitch in agony. Tomorrow, 1-2. Kodjia with both.

I met an Ipswich fan at work yesterday - which was enough for me to like him, surrounded as I am by boring Gooners forever droning on about their team's shortcomings as they wait for Wenger to die.

Anyway, lovely fella, the Ipswich lad. He expects us to win comfortably as, for all his perceived shortcomings, Mick McCartney kept them competitive and apparently there's already been a noticable drop-off in intensity since he said "Fuxk this for a game of soldiers" and left the other week.

What a pearler from Lee though.

Great thread title. 0-2 to the better team in 1981.

[darren woolley]

I'm going for a 1-1 draw because I don 't know if we will rest players ahead of the play offs or stay with a winning team.

[Drummond]

0-4 Kodjia 2, Grabban and Chester

[Legion]

I hope he rotates the squad a little as we are guaranteed play-offs. Rest a few and try a few others in readiness for the two-legged semi and hopeful final.

[Richard E]

1-0 to the Lions. Kodjia with an absolute belter.

I get the feeling that Snodgrass needs a bit of a rest. I can't see us getting 3rd so we will be 4th, as 5th place cant catch us.

They're not going to have to wait that long eamonn by the looks of it.

[Dave P]

Kodjia is out tomorrow apparently.  Terry could be back.  I still think we'll have enough to win.  2-0 Grabban and Onomah.
