Baggies vs Gunners

Mulumbu is probably our best player and its deffo a much tougher challenge without him.

But we are not a one man team.

I think we'll give Arsenal some problems of their own.

@chrislepkowski
Clarke confident everyone will be fit for #wba game bar long-term absentees (Gera,Thorne) and Mulumbu.

not a one man team but we don't have another defensive minded midfielder to replace him.

Naturally I'd take a draw right now because I think Arsenal will have too much for us. Youssouf Mulumbu did us no favours with his rush of blood at West Ham. I hope he and Peter Odemwingie enjoy watching from the touchline, and reflect what the word 'professional' actually means.

It is really frustrating that Mulumbu is out but we have been playing well at home lately. I'll go for 2-2. Thank God we don't have that idiot in goal we had last year.

We are the 3rd best home team in the league I believe.

That's immense

I hope Albion fans are ready to extend a warm welcome to Santi Cazorla in his first game at the Hawthorns.

You know its bad if Martin Keown says it was the dive of the season.

Liam Ridgewell v Sunderland was the dive of the season...

It's up there. There was pathetically minimal contact when Ridgy went down.

However...

There was none at all when Santi went down.

Could and should have done better, a draw at least - chances went begging. Proof that forwards can lose points. Oh well, the expected result really.
