Just a quick one because I want to get down to the game early. I spoke yesterday about Henry being fit, fantastic news and Wenger’s been talking about how his inclusion in the side helps us. Also, Freddie’s been looking forward to the game and talking about coming so close last year inspires us to go further.
Arsene says confidence is on a high in the Arsenal camp and it needs to be. It’s not secret we’ve not been doing too well recently and we’ll need the players to believe in themselves tonight. Also he’s said we must take our chances and not faff around with the ball around the box and I agree. Sometimes we try to be too perfect, we need to score more sloppy goals. It’s not the Arsenal way but as long as we can get the ball in their net tonight I will be happy.
As far as the team goes it’ll be the best one available to Wenger. I reckon it’ll be Lehmann, Djourou, Toure, Gallas, Clichy, Ljungberg, Fabregas, Gilberto, Hleb, Henry and Adebayor. Maybe Walcott or Diaby will come in for Freddie but I expect Wenger will go with his experience tonight.
This week I’ve been pretty scared about the game I must admit but today I’ve just felt really up for it. I think we can do ‘em tonight and remind the Gooners why they love Arsenal so much. I’m going to sing my heart out tonight, and we need everyone else behind the team too. I don’t care how many strange looks and ‘sidaaans’ I get; if you’re not here to support the team fuck off and watch it on tv.
Last night Liverpool got through against the holders, Barca. Watching the highlights gave me goosebumps and I admit, I was so jealous of them. I hope we can create anything near that atmosphere tonight and to join them in the next round.
Whatever way you’re following the game, will the boys on, pray and have confidence. If we go out tonight we’ve got nothing really left to play for so we have to give more than 100%. I just can’t wait which is why I’m going down to the Emirates now. A match report tomorrow. Enjoy the match.
