Arsenal prediction and match thread

[brighton_royal]

Depends on whether we try to play the same open game we did last time they came. IF we mark well and close them down and at no point give the ball away trying to play out of defence then we could get some sort of result.

I think we are going to get flipped and done up the exhaust pipe.

Reading 0 Arsenal 7

Coppell shocks fans by bringing in fae, cisse, bikey and convey with harper, gunnarsson, doobs and hunt

Who are the other 2 to play?

[NTRoyal]

Wenger to suprise Coppell by playing a 4-4-2 formation. They score within 5 mins and we never recover.

Seriously, we will get pumped, but i think 0 -2 Arsenal.

I think you'll find there are 11 starting players per team.

7 yard TD pass to Kitson late in the 4th seals a great comeback by the Royals.

Agree. For most of my lifetime the mere thought of playing Arsenal in a league game would have been regarded as a lunatic's fantasy. So yes, let's just lie back and enjoy it while it lasts.

Reality: A respectable 0-2.
Dreaming of a dire 0-0 draw.

I thought the word "outfield" wasn't actually required, but there you go.

Spacey 0-3 France

Reading 1 Arsenal 4

Ditto or even to nil.

I suspect when Arsenal are a few ahead they'll take some of their better players off for the more important games coming up. So the score might not be as high as a lot of people are predicting.

Maybe so... there is a big break until their next game though, so no real need for a rest. Unlike when we play Liverpool in a few weeks time they will hopefully have a very very important Champions League game a few days later so hopefully will field a weakened team, which is why I reckon the Liverpool game will be our best chance of getting a win off of one of the top 4 this season. Unlike tonight... but you never know Urrzzz

Arsenal 1

Arsenal lots of possesion but no end product, Reading strong performance at the back and will have a few clear chances to win the game.

In the same way that WR wasn't required to show all players names - just the players brought in?
