Nice to meet you Tim, I hope you enjoyed what turned out to be a very stressful afternoon. Tomorrow looms large and with so much riding on us keeping a clean sheet I have to admit to feeling quite nervous.

The word is that Cesc may play – I hope he just comes on and does a 25 minute cameo a la Villa game and then leaves the field to rapturous applause.

We may be on the most exciting run-in for some time – I do hope so.

@Atbin, I think also Eboue doesn't go into Theo's space therefore allowing him to go wider and run into the space more. Sagna sometimes runs into theo's space making him to go a bit central and then he becomes kinda less dangerous. Eboue cuts inside when he attacks while Theo goes wide which is a good combination.

Emirates is a hard place to put banners on, not enough space for them without covering the crowd. The banners are awesome still.

@nycgunner, NYC Gunner, the main banner was in the North West corner of the stadium, the one pictured, but there at least two other smaller banners I noticed, one said “Do it for Rambo” and the other was a smaller hand written which said “Get Well soon Rambo”.

Tim, if you’re around I’ve e mailed 2 pictures to you, from my usual view point behind the goal at the South/Clock end.

@ctpa, that’s a bit harsh given he scored the equalizer against stoke just last week.

you have every right to feel frustrated though – as someone pointed out to me yesterday, this is the 2nd game where he’s missed 3+ sitters. it’s easy to forget sometimes how young he is and he still has a long ways to go before he develops into the player that he has the potential of becoming.

@chris, certainly. his missed chances are down to his maturity. once he's got that (and i cant see one reason why he can't - especially when i look at the folks helping him grow) i think he will be a much better finisher. i just dont see him being the 30+ goals a season striker but given the wealth of talent we have in midfield, i think we will be fine.
