January is too far away!

Tbh, Man United will just park the bus and counter attack us. Won't be shocked if they beat us.

"Like last season? When we couldn't score against their crap mid-table team in 2 games. I don't know about you, but if Anderlecht can expose us TWICE in a week, I fear what Man U's frontline will do to us. This is a team that once beat us with a midfield that had O'Shea and Fabio FFS. The facking own us, because of our tactically clueless, inflexible manager."


Nope, knew Moyes would set up like he did last season.

Don't think LvG will do the same, and the likelihood is we will beat them.

people keep banging on about RvP this, Falcao that, but the fact is their only half decent attacker this season has been ADM, and he's been awful in the big games

I really don't believe you're THAT confident Chris. Else, that would be naive. I've seen enough of Man U against City and Chelsea to know we're in for a very tough game against them. They're playing far better than they were against Leicester.

Once you see Di Maria, RVP, Rooney and co running out against us, this excessive confidence will evaporate. We CAN beat Man U for sure, but their chances are EVERY BIT as good as ours - better even.

What damage do you think will be done by then?

You aren't competing for the title so that's a given that it will be.

Top four won't because nobody is performing well enough to put Arsenal out of the equation if they do indeed have a poor run in that time.

Just had a look at your fixtures and it does look a pretty tough run of fixtures, to be fair, but I don't you'll do so bad that you'll be out of the race for top four.

I'm not over-confident - I just think we'll beat them. It wouldn't be a big surprise if we didn't, that's football, but still.

The only player I really think could do us a lot of damage is Di Maria - would hate to see his ultra quick footwork in a one vs one vs Mert or Monreal, because he could fairly easily leave them for dead or win a penalty.

Aside from that threat, though, not really seeing where there danger will come from.

Poor you,

Chris, to be fair, given how you're playing I think we could say the same about Sanchez as he's the only one that has really been on form.

Can't really call it because I'm not sure what tactics we'll use and we cannot predict what player may have a blinder or not.

Hopefully it'll be a good game. The last four games against Arsenal in the league have been tragic viewing.

Not sure what the surprise is, its apparent to anyone outside of Arsenal that the team is not that good, has little fight(hence the maulings) and a manager who is well past his sell by date.

Wenger is hoping to sign another ancient, injured midfielder in Jan. Should do the trick.

Im sure we'll score against Man U, due to our attack being great and their defence not being the best. But we'll definitely concede, I think their defence is better than ours, and combined with that LVG will probably get the tactics right against us, where as we won't have any as usual. I can probably see them winning. My hope is that our attack will be really on form, and we can knock a few past them
