Barclays Premiership

Reading Vs ARSENAL



Monday 12th November 2007

8pm

Madejski Stadium

[Libertine]

This should be a decent game.
Reading, although not playing brilliantly, are no mugs at home.
They're very dangerous from set pieces, which is an area where we sometimes go to sleep, so we'll have to be on our toes.
Hopefully Fabregas and Hleb will have recharged their batteries, having avoided the trip to Prague.
Reading do give you a chance to play a bit of football and that has to be to our advantage.

We could well be 3rd (or even 4th!) come kick off time, so it will be a good test of our mental strength too.

[SuperDumbassman]

Should be a good game with our attacking flair.

Also, Sagna is Ibrahima Sonko's cousin and they've never actually met!

[CLS]

could be a big win for us i think we will be bang up for this one after a nice rest

[rvtheace]

They are a good team, struggling a bit at the moment though. I do like it when small teams who believe in attacking play do well. Anyways, they had better not do well at our expense on Monday.

Dudu up front please.

[Fabrestuta]

Could be a tricky game, even though Reading are 12th they are only 5 points above the drop zone, and really aren't playing well so Coppell will have them fired up. On paper we should win handily, but you never know.

[YoungGooner07]

Im going for a 2-0 win. I think we should be on top most of the game and with key players having been rested we should find this childs play

[rodney]

Well after today's games we have slipped to second with a game in hand on United. We've slipped behind before and beat Bolton to go back to the top of the Premiership and I have full confidence we can go back to the top after tomorrow night. They our not like the Bolton's, Blackburns etc... They're a team that actually tries to play footy and wont attempt to kick us off the park, which will be an advantage for us. We played superbly at Reading last year and Wenger described it as our best away performance of the season.

After resting a few players during the week I expect a lot of players to return:

Almunia

Sagna Toure Gallas Clichy

Hleb Fabregas Flamini Rosicky

Adebayor Theo

I am really hoping that Wenger gives Theo or even Eduardo up front instead of playing Hleb just behind the striker and thus meaning Eboue would have to play on the right wing. In our previous three games due to playing one up front we have failed to create as many chances as we usually do and this has affected our game. Wenger has to stick Theo or Eduardo up front and hopefully we can go back to dictating the game, but still having options up front. By having a second striker it also gives Ade support and doens't mean he is isolated up front.

All 4 midfielders have had a weeks break so I am expecting big games from all 4 of them. We need the win as we have some really tough fixtures in December where we could potentially drop points so picking up maximum points from this game is a must.

I am going for 2-0 Ade and Hleb to send us back to the top of the league

[Fabrestuta]

The game is on Setanta so I won't get to see it.

[Cheese]

Rodney don't we have 2 games in hand over Utd?...

[rodney]

Yeah you're right, I forgot to include the game they played today XD

I am paying £10 for setanta

Will be worth it if we win

[Fabrestuta]

^ We used to be able to get Setanta PPV games here, but they stopped it for some reason. I didn't get to see the United game and I'll miss this one also.
