Stef, we have,

Wilshere, Ozil, Walcott, Gnabry and Miyachi all out.

Flamini suspended.

Podolski, Ox-Chamberlain, Monreal, Koscielny and Rosicky very doubtful.

So with the injury list arsenal going to play a 1-2-3-1 formation lol

I think so Dentielad,

Wenger in goal

Frank Mclintock, Tony Adams

Liam Brady, Santi Cazorla, Robert Pires

but don't worry because we have Sanogo upfront, lol

Ye your right ed come on you hammers and by the way you would want to stop updating the Arsenal page otherwise il make sure the powers that be leave u to update the dark sides page lol and surely you won't want that especially if it's the day they win the league lol.

{Ed025's Note - i would love to stef, they could do with a few home truths mate...unfortunately the powers that be dont think i would behave myself.. moi?..the voice of reason.. :)

Haha I think the powers that be might be right ed lol haha I could just imagine you in control of there page for a day lol.On another note who paid the Fa to put that clown Clattenberg in charge of our game Sunday I'm dreading it now God help us.

Poor Ivan Gazidis is moaning that the arsenal fans should have more seats available to them than 25000.

Ivan, wake up and smell the coffee. It's a health and safety issue. You find that a lot in London stadiums apparently ;)

Well said Toffee, the debate continues. Arsenal can't have it both ways. What goes around comes around. They were lucky to have got what they did last week. I would have given them the Lower Bullens only and sold the top tier to Evertonians.

Toffee, we deserve more seats because we don't throw blue smoke-bombs everywhere (only joking mate).

Dags is now waiting patiently for Daveyblueboy to take the bait and reply, lol.

Dags, I like your humour mate. Question to you. Do you think "seating gate" was underhand?

Hi Toffee,

To be honest, yes mate I do think it's underhanded.

I originally had a 'friendly' argument with Davey, saying we cut your allocation at the Emirates for health and safety reasons, ie because you boy's throw blue smokies, but I did confess later to Ed025, that I think AFC were out of order for using this as an excuse to cut your allocation.

I'm a Gooner first and foremost mate, but I don't like any team to use underhanded tac-tic's, even if it is my beloved Arsenal.

15 Apr 2014 00:16:51
Like your honesty dag. I believe any supporter would feel ashamed that their club would take tactics to reduce club seat allocation due to h & s but actually be doing it for other reasons which are so transparent. On the same hand, that same supporter would take it for granted that the opposing team support is quietened as it gives their own team a better chance of winning (particularly if the away support cut are commonly known for their vocal support) and could make a difference to the away teams performance such like a 12th man.

Totally agree Huyton

Thanks for the inevitable post DG and for your honesty via Ed025. Is it correct that both yourselves and Hull are only receiving 25000 tickets each for the Cup final? If that's the case there'll be a massive prawn sandwich brigade attending via the corporate selling/ripping off the real fans approach to a Wembley day out this year. Make's you sick. I remember the old finals of the 80s when each club received nigh on 45% each from a 100,000 crowd without rip off prices to boot.

realistically we have 30 million to spend in the summer
I would be ecstatic if we got Lukaku however I have a feeling he will be going to Atletico.

For me I would go for:
Hughes - 10 mill
Barry - Free
Ince- Free
Lacazette -6 mill
Batshuayi - 8 mill ( if not michy then pizzaro?)
Martins Indi - 6 mill

14 Apr 2014 18:51:14
will hughes is crap, no right foot, can barely beat a man, passing range is poor, no pace and only does well against relegation threatened championship teams, against anyone else he is quiet, i'd sooner wipe my sleeping bag with 10m then spend it on another overhyped english talent who isn't good enough for the premier league and pizarro? the striker that is the same age as distin and is at bayern munich? again, champions league quality signings we need? well if we sign these we may aswell give up all hope of getting point in the group stages and that's if we even qualify!

Did anyone else notice how downbeat martin tylers commentry was with both man city goals yesterday but he went ballistic when the reds scored, strange that. Any way massive week ahead for us two of the biggest games for years. I think maximum points from these two games could go a long way to clinching 4th anything less and the dream could die. Come on Everton were so close we can taste it!

Like when jim Beglin was commentating on everton arsenal - his bias towards arsenal was embarrassing

On a second note - I'm convinced flatten burg is a red nose - he obviously hates everton and I'm sure he favours Liverpool as well - anyone know if he was a Liverpool fan as a kid - a lot of people his age were so it wouldn't be a surprise

he did a training video with gerrard 2 days before refereeing one of liverpools games, he sent off hibbert after gerrard spoke to him despite having a yellow out initially and not a red, he waved away an obvious penalty in the last minute when carragher fouled lescott, only booked durk kuyt despite him nearly snapping both of nevilles legs, gave liverpool 3 penalties at anfield despite one being an obvious dive, he didn't give united an obvious handball penalty yet gave liverpool one, he didn't send suarez off yesterday for diving and waved away two obvious city penalties when skrtel had fernandinho in a headlock and had hold of kompanys shirt and when skrtel handballed it in the last minute, he is mates with quite a few liverpool players and bought his mate a liverpool season ticket, need anymore evidence?

That's just silly.


ynwa

Exactly Swan. Clattenburg was a disgrace at the weekend. Suarez should have gone well before Henderson did. Already booked and then he starts the diving theatricals (with the accompanying facial reactions) and Clattenburg didn't want to know. Clearly biased and should never be allowed to ref another Liverpool (or indeed Everton) match. Full stop.

Big nod to Pellegrini,
When asked if there were any points he would like to pick up on following the game, he said something along the lines of. 'not really'.
(though he did think it was handball)

{Ed025's Note - it was sivy, and suarez could have walked after his tom daley impression!...im not bitter (well not much) but you do seem to get the rub of the green when it comes to refereeing decisions mate..

To be honest ed, it was a rare supercool managerial moment.
He would have been perfectly justified to have a little moan.
No arguments there.

{Ed025's Note - he was very professional about it sivy, respect to the guy..
