Predicted LineUp:

Away at Arsenal...we've won the last two encounters...so are due a shellacking.  They've strengthened notably this season, as well as being on form.  That said, we'll clearly play on the counter and expect out line up to largely be the same as for Everton.

Can't see us winning this one but I think we'll compete. Which, compared to recent performances will be a big plus.

I’m going down for it. Beer, pie and mash, make my way to north London, back home to Scouse post game, in the pissing rain. 

We’ll lose 3-1.

Also the world cup ball dropped today and you can't afford not to buy it at 126 GBP. Design inspired by the mexican wave, originating 40 years ago in the '86 world cup in case you didn't feel old enough already.

[Far Cough UKunt]

I expect us to be bullied at set pieces, why that german fucker doesnt put himself about more is beyond me, he should be dominant in both boxes. not sitting back and effort is all I want to see

He's fucking useless, get rid.

[kylay]

Arsenal are due for a banana skin game. We have the holy spirit now and we put a major dent in their title aspirations. 1-2 up the hammers and a conga line through WHO.

[BRANDED]

I'm not expecting much. I won't use the result as a dig at Nuno unlike the hapless Potter.

[southbankbornnbred]

I think we'll lose, but reckon we'll put up a fight. Might even get a man sent off. Could get testy, because Potts and Magassa will get after Rice.

Reckon Nuno understands things like London rivalries and derbies. He's that sort of character.

Unfortunately, the perennial runners-up are stacked. The cunts.

1-0 

You crafty cսnt you.
All hail the Dick

I'm more optimistic West Ham now Potter has gone, not expecting us to win against Arsenal, but think we will at least put up a fight, had Potter been in charge it may well have been a cricket score!!! But with Nuno at the helm it will at least look respectable i reckon, 2-1 to Arsenal is my prediction.

Hope im wrong and its one of those famous away days and 1-0 to West Ham when least expected and against the odds...........

We'll give em a game Sydney son.
Nuno will have Robson and Pottsy making sure we do.

Score draw 1-1 again. Fuck I despise Arsenal just as much as Spurs these days.

Ive always found  this lot strange.
no identity ...just a collection of misfits  and the brothers 

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

WE WILL DEFEAT ARSENAL BY TWO GOALS TO ONE. 

STAND ON ME.

 In the immortal words of the Scouse trigger
..
..Suprise ..Suprise. .

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

I reckon we're winning.
It's the closest game to my birthday and we always win
And I'll be in Alicante

West ham win (diouf to score)

Sweet

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

a hat -trick away to these slags.
2-1.

[Mad Dog]

Cant see anything but a beating Saturday, however ill be happy enough at this stage if arsenal come out of thia knowing they've been in a fight

[Massive Attack]

It's got all the hallmarks of a West Ham win this fixture. No reason for it to happen at all which is why it's highly likely it will.

The West Ham Way.  

[boleyn8420]

I admire the totally blind optimism chaps but I think a dose of realism needs to be added.

Ah, fuck it, i'll bite, we score an 89th minute winner FROM a corner after that cսnt Arteta gets sent off, at long last, for actually entering the field of play whilst we are playing down that wing near the managers boxes. The ball bounces off him as he gestures to everyone to get back. Ref sends him off. 1 minute later corner goes in. They get a corner in the 119th minute but the ref blows up before they can take it, lovely.

[El Scorchio]

It's a free swing. I'm sure we'll likely lose, so approach it as an opportunity rather than a black hole. Nuno can say that we are going to try some things so not to worry too much if we don't get it right on the day and we ship a couple by being bold and not fearing mistakes.

I'd like to see us use it part as a defensive drill seen as they are the 'set piece wizards' (not anti football cloggers like they would be if they were Stoke of course) to try and just get us tighter at the back and more comfortable at set pieces and balls into the box.

Then partly work on transitioning as fast as possible from defence to attack and being as opportunistic as possible and flooding bodies forward quickly to stretch it, particularly as the game goes on. This is the sort of game to make mistakes and experience teething problems in before the real ones that count after the international break.

Everyone will have it pencilled in as 2 or 3 nil to them so if that ends up being the score we've not lost anything but if we an take a point or even better by being brave then that's a great bonus.

[the exile]

I would be delighted to be wrong but I can't see us getting anything out of this except some encouraging signs and a gutsy, competitive performance leading to a narrow scoreline. Agree with the lineup.
