Really not interested in who wins, meh if utd win it again kind of use to it. Really want us to wrap up 3rd and push on next year. Wud luv to finish season strong with home wins along the way against City and Chelsea, be nice to finish single digit points behind City after the billions they've spent, then hope to god we see reasonable purchases this summer and see the dead wood move that I thinks sucks energy and confidence from the team when there is more than one in the dressing room.

I'll be so much more happier if the Yids finish 5th than any buzz I'd get seeing either utd or city lose it!

Nah, let them get 4th. Then have Chelsea win the CL.

Why would you want Chelsea to be the first london team to win the European Cup just to keep North London B out of said Champions League ....Mind boggles to be honest

Hi all. Does anyone think Wenger will rest RVP for the QPR match this weekend after his comments last week? This is purely for fantasy footballing reasons. Ta!

Nope he will play

greendom · 28-03-2012 10:58pm

Barring injury or suspension i think RVP will start every game.

brianregan09 · 28-03-2012 10:58pm

And he will win !!!

He'll start score 2 and assist so keep him in and make him captain

gnfnrhead · 29-03-2012 12:19am

At worst he won't play the 90, but he'll definitely start.

Oranage2 · 29-03-2012 12:24am

After QPR the next game isnt until the 8th of April. There's no point resting him IMO.

massdebater · 29-03-2012 12:39am

Thanks guys. Looks like I'll be giving him the armband again this week. I'll be calling back next week to give you all a bollocking if this doesn't work out!

Good luck for the rest of the season, hopefully you guys get third and Newcastle get fourth

2ndcoming · 29-03-2012 10:43am

He's been my FF captain since about week 6. The weeks I've stuck by him when others took him out (Liverpool away, Tottenham, Chelsea away) are the weeks he ran amok, and he's the highest point scoring player in the league by a mile anyway, there's no other choice for captain this year in my book!

While I certainly would hate to see Chelsea win the CL, it would be frigggin' HILARIOUS to see Spurs lose out on CL football over a weird technicality. After the funky pasta incident that allegedly cost them 4th place a few years ago they'll think they're cursed!

Tempting fate though, that could be us.

Joey Barton is certainly talking Saturday's game up. Be lucky if all our players survive un-injured with this sort of talk...

This is more than a game of football now. The next eight games govern our futures", said Barton. "There are livelihoods on the line here. I'm not sure that's the case at Arsenal to be honest."

It's not like they are going to war!!! Joey has had some pretty poor performances recently and he is just tryin to talk himself into playin well imo.

gnfnrhead · 29-03-2012 2:06pm

Barton is an overrated piece of uselessness. He's lucky to even be a premier league player and not a prisoner after some of the stuff he has done.

29-03-2012 2:08pm

Barton just oozes class............

from the 1920's

They have nothing to rest him for, apart from the next 8 matches which are all cup finals.

Play him in them all.

One of the worst tackles I've ever seen and Diaby got sent off. Not sure if Barton even got booked.

29-03-2012 2:54pm

That was one of the only great things i've seen Diaby do in an Arsenal shirt.
I remember screaming at the tv, "have that Barton you chav ****"

KaiserGunner · 29-03-2012 4:15pm

Will be a tough match on saturday away to QPR, hopefully we put one over them and help to put them back down in the championship where they belong. I usually dont have such a dislike for QPR but with Joey Barton in their squad and Mark Hughes as one of my most dislikeable managers and characters in the game, id take great satisfaction in seeing them go back down.

I'm probably not allowed to say what I think he should've done. I suppose my dad's insistence that if you're going to get a card make sure it's for doing something sums it up.

brianregan09 · 29-03-2012 5:04pm

Wouldn't one of our lads doing that kind of tackle to barton in the 1st minute thus quitening the little scouse muppet ! You can bet Barton is gonna have a go at Song during the game over the stamp at newcastle start of the season

Royale with Cheese · 29-03-2012 5:48pm

I wouldn't be too worried. Just sounds like Barton is going to get himself sent off in the 5th minute.

djan · 29-03-2012 5:50pm

I am a bit worried that due to the frosty nature of the match we might suffer some injury. Yes I am looking at you Robin!

yes QPR have been good at that recently, let's hope they keep it up...

Let him put the ball into his own net first

Galvasean · 29-03-2012 9:46pm

Personally I think Barton gets away with murder because referees don't want to be seen to be picking on him.

Although it would be quite cool as a ref to say to him - go on tweet about THIS! As you show him a red card
