Good Evening Gooners
Ok tonites gonna be a quickie cos I'm neck deep in work with the sister's wedding and seeing me writing this blog, i can already see my mom have the look that could make most of our reserve team piss their pants.
Moving on to tonight's game, there's the team news that most of you already know of, Eboue replacing Sagna who is serving the last of his three match ban, Fabianski being ruled out with injury and Chesney manning the posts. I expect the team to line up as below
Chesney
Eboue-Djourou-Kos-Clichy
Song-Wilshere
Walcott-Fabregas-Nasri
RVP
Subs: O'Shea, Gibbs, Miquel, Denilson. Arshavin, Chamakh, Bendtner
So the line-up is as good a team that we can put out against any opposition, barring Eboue, but I'll reserve my thoughts on his recent downward spiral in form for another day. I do feel that the team seem to reserve the best for the PL while taking the cup games a bit more lightly and that is purely due to the fact that they know they have an escape route by playing a second leg and i am more than confident that Ipswich and Leeds would get an ass whooping that would make them fear being promoted or at least playing Arsenal, EVER !
The team should be able to take all 3 points from Upton Park tonight and their cause will be greatly aided by fact that Scott Parker is missing in action tonight. One only needs to see the half season review of the Hammers to know how greatly influential he his and why they aren't already relegated. I expect the game to finish 2-0 which, considering the fact that we haven't scored in 300 mins from open play is actually a long shot.
Some interesting news that is just doing the rounds is that about the ankle of our superstar of the season, Samir Nasri. Its rumoured that he has been facing some issues with his ankle for awhile now and needs pain killers to see him though the 90 minutes. Lets hope the injury Gods don't piss on our luck with Sami and i promise i wont have sex for 2 weeks, no 10 days, no a week, ok 4 days, fine this weekend...Deal ?
I'll leave the rest of some transfer news that seems to be emerging from the Grove for tomorrow. Here's to a superlative performance from the lads and one that will make us put to bed the disappointments of Leeds and Ipswich. And for Chamakh to come off the bench and score a brace, here's a little song for him
'He's not White,He's Not Black-He comes from a place not far from Iraq,He plays upfront and he plays in attack-He's our mate Marouane Chamakh'
