Arsenal vs. PSV preview: The most important game this season. 7 March, 2007

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.
thats odd. I have had the same feelings as you. really nervous and negative all week until today when a sudden rush of optimism has hit me and I feel really up for it. clearly this could just be further to fall, but I hoping that my good mood is a positive if somewhat inexplicable indicator of things to come. I’ll be there singing. Come on you Gunners.
We blew it. All goals plus Arsenal’s misses chances and Wenger interview
Wish I didn’t have to fucking write about this tomorrow
I’ve loved hleb since he came to arsenal, but seriously, what the fuck was that? I lost count of how many times he gave the ball away. to say nothing of over-dribbling, not shooting, and commiting the dumbest foul I’ve seen in a long time.
looks like we’ll just have to ride this season out, enjoy some good league performances as we tread water in the 3rd or 4th pace battle, and hope for next year. and lose baptista.

sanfrangoon you’re too right. The thing that really pissed me off was when Hleb was just outside our penalty area and he tried dribbling the ball up and lost it. Shit if they had scored from that…. Also although we carved out half decent chances, it was same old arsenal. Say what you want but there is something seriously wrong in the way the team is set up. I mean why the fuck is Baptista starting? Why on earth is Denilson starting? With Denilson, i’m a huge fan but in such an important game? I would have like Diaby to start as well as Aliediere. We had zero width and Fred was really aweful (lets talk about contribution and not just running). Defense was alright apart from the goal. Toure looked good on the right (which is something that could work in the future). Ade didnt have a good night. Thierry did not look anywhere near fit. Even the goal we scored was pure luck.
Oh and seeing half the stadium empty after they scored is just really embarrasing. Seriously you guys….
You lot looked like you’d had a dodgy Lasagne
We lost.. Damn. No more silverware =(
