I just watched the chelsea-bolton game. Wasnt the best spectacle but had enough things on the plate to keep me interested. First of all, if there was a chance of Chlesea slip-up, I wanted to view that LIVE! Secondly, these mid week fixtures of EPL are always tricky. I dont know why, may be its just mid week and I am not under the influence of alcohol! Thirdly, Jack was playing and was in the starting XI. He played well. For 80 minutes he worked his socks off. I must say, there has been a tremendous improvement in Bolton's play. These days, they get 4 to 5 consecutive passes. Thats new now, isn't it? Fat ass Sam could never do that. He still cant do that!
Alright, back to what I really am interested in. Yes the clash with the neighbors from N17. Like all the games, this one will be an intense battle. At the Emirates, Fab scored that cool goal when he passed through three to four tackles and buried his shot in bottom left corner! I hope our team remembers that and tries to win the game.
The good news from the Spuds side is that there CDM Palacios will be suspended. Also Kranjkaer seems doubtful but I dont really think they are going for a win anyways.
It seems like RVP might be fit to be included in the squad to travel further north. I am too excited to write about how we should play and what the tactics should be. All I am really worried about is the cover that we will need on the right with Bale playing LB, and being their most in form player. Crouch generally misses a couple of chances at least but Defoe can shoot with power. Almunia may flap at it like a Penguin and i fear that.
Couple of interesting battles may be visible tomorrow. Bendtner vs King, Sol vs Defoe, TV5 vs Crouch. Harry Wetpants has already compared the spuds to the gooners! What a jack#$%! He says that the gap between the gooners and spuds is getting smaller as the years go by. Just 6 months back, his captain, now thrown away to Scotland, was saying that the spurs have a better squad. Lets see what happens next year, when we will have six more fit players and so good ones from the Academy.
As for us, Song seems fit and will definitely start. Also, rest of squad must have had enough rest to be fresh again. On the other hand, Spurs played for 120 minutes on a cow-grazing field at Wembley. That should hopefully make them a little fatigued out. Sagna, Clichy, all are fit and I think will definitely start.
We are trying to jump to the second position ahead of manu and trying to keep up with Chelsea. So we are playing for more than the spurs. Surely, they are still aiming for fourth spot which is pretty much taken by Man City. Mancity's squad is big and ambitious and play with two to three holding mid fielders. Thats why its difficult to defeat Man City right now. Anyways, thats not something to worry about today.
Like I said before, these mid week fixtures are tricky. But I still think we have enough to run them over. Its the matter of who scores first. If we score first, we will score two more for sure. If they score early, I think we will score two to scrape out a win.
Arsenal probables:
...............Almunia....................
Sagna...Campbell.....TV5..........Clichy
......Nasri.....Song....Diaby............
....Eboue.....Bendtner.....Rosicky.......
Subs: Eduardo, Theo, Silvestre, Denilson, RVP, Fabianski
Spuds: Who cares? Bring them on!
Score Prediction: Spuds 1- 3 Arsenal
