For me if pennants not fit can go 2 ways Bego Wilko Ryan Upson Wilson Shotts/walters Delap Whelan Matty Crouch Jones/walters
If he goes with walters on the wing give us even more aerial threat aswell as walters drive and commitment yet go with shotton and you have a more defensive approach but if he plays how he did on thurs it could be promising. What's everyone's view

About the pub mentioned above in the Arsenal area....it was almost certainly the Dartmouth Arms which is in the same part of town, between Tufnell Park and Gospel Oak. The landlord was a Stokie, showed all matches he could and used to serve oatcakes at half time. That area's now an even more trendified North London cliche than it was before, and he's gone, and the pub's now shit.

Like most have said, I'd rather us have a right crack at them and lose by 3 or 4 if it doesn't go our way (meaning if it goes our way it will be one point or three) than sit back and lose by the obligatory 1 or 2. We have nothing to lose, let's go after them, Tone!

Tbh I don't think this arsenal team is capable of giving us a thrashing , certainly it will be close I think it will be won by the odd goal either way like last year . I just hope we don't park the bus and try and nick it , we have proved against man u what we are capable of

Pennant / Shotton Palacios Whelan Ethers
Walters Crouch
I think Tone will go
Bego
Huth Woodgate Ryan Wilson
Delap Whitehead Whelan Ethers

I just hope we have a go sadly I think it'll be playing for a draw from the start and 2/3-0 defeat.

I would like to think that Mr Pulis will set us up to try and win rather than not to lose. Norwich have shown the way. We should take the game to them. they are no great shakes defensively. I think that if we try to contain them specifically, we will lose. Let them worry about Crouch, Walters and Jones!

We just haven't got anything to lose by changing our tactics because like in the first season in the PL playing for a 0-0 clearly isn't working.

It will be interesting to see whether we actually 'turn up' for an away fixture today or yet again, turn up as a badly selected tactically inept and naive, dysfunctional shambles like we did against Swansea.
(it would have been oh so easy with a bit of common sense, to have actually won that game I still feel)
I await with interest
also, Robert Huth - he was our best player last season and usually played at centre half
thought Id just remind you all

I remember last season we backed off them first half, but gave it a go second half and nearly nicked a point. Got to be positive and get plenty of balls in the box. COME ON STOKE!!!!

I'd actually go with the 5 at the back idea from Kiev. Bego Wilko Huth Shawcross Upson/Woodgate Wilson Walters/Shotton Delap/Whitehead Whelan Ethers Jones/Crouch Tactical lesson for Arsene...Wilko to get the winner.
