Howay 12496 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Are Wilshere and Ramsey definitely out for this? Big boost for us if they are. We definitely have a good chance I reckon as Arsenal have looked tired the last few games and they had to work hard to beat West Ham, whereas our lot had it quite easy.

Rayvin 5312 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I think Wilshere is playing, this is his first game back after that suspension - Ramsay isn't though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 At least Ramsey is out, Flamini and Wilshere are dangerous mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5312 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 There's Ozil as well of course. Although I understand he's lost some of his form - not that I've seen any evidence personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Aye Ozil is top class tbh, glad we have Tiote back to track him around the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 878 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Part of me wants to set up 4-4-2 and bring in Shola for Ben Arfa, with Tiote and Cabaye in midfield and Sissoko/Gouffran out wide. Remy often looks isolated as a lone striker and I don't think he's very effective at all in that role, and Shola will bother their centre-halves and make a nuisance of himself, which will give us another dimension to our attack. Â But I think Pardew will line up 4-5-1 with Anite, Tiote, and Cabaye in the centre of midfield. We will need a lot of harrier-type players in the midfield against Arsenal and Anita is good for that role. Â Can't see HBA starting no matter what formation. Pardew doesn't trust him to be disciplined enough on defence and we'll probably be doing a lot of that tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5312 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Pardew making nice with Wenger here - apparently our plan for the next 3-4 years is to finish top 8. I think we all knew this, but I'm wondering why it's 3-4 years and not 'forever':  http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/dec/28/newcastle-arsenal-pardew-wenger-champions-league  Also they can fuck off with that 'Arsenal on Tyne' bit.

Ayatollah Hermione 14069 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 No Ozil is the rumour going round the Twitter. Makes sense, why risk him in a game you're going to lose anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33921 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I hope Pardew has been feeding them raw steaks for breakfast. I also hope one or two of their lot get wound up as they're prone to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14013 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Apparently Wenger was drinking in the Cluny last night! Â Oh and there's no Ramsey & supposedly no Ozil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
