THE MATCH - TUESDAY 27TH OCTOBER 2015 7:45 PM KO
v ![[Image: th?id=OIP.M87ef9a1824a9aae8ca304bbcc7a81...=300&h=300]](https://sp.yimg.com/xj/th?id=OIP.M87ef9a1824a9aae8ca304bbcc7a810fcH0&pid=15.1&P=0&w=300&h=300)
So we finally get one of the big boys at Hillsborough for the first time since the last century. The fixture brings back a few memories of course, the cup finals in 1993, the Di Canio/Allcock incident in 98 and the epic 5 game FA cup saga back in 1979. Arsenal are one of the best teams in the Premier League but haven't actually won it for a decade now, just a couple of FA cup wins and numerous top 4 finishes, which is deemed as failure by some Arsenal fans

THE LAST MATCH
Always good to beat a local rival, but should have been a bit more comfortable than the 1-2 score-line. Need to learn to finish teams off, we had the chances to be four up but wayward finishing let us down and then un-necessary free kicks gave them the opportunity to put pressure on our back line and we still continue to sit back when we have a lead with plenty of time left on the clock.
FUNNY COMMENT FROM LAST MATCH THREAD
From OvalOwl
"Somebody needs to tell Joao about the tooth fairy. He looks like he lost half a crown and found a tanner!"
OUR TEAM
So will we see CC make more changes for the 4th game in 11 days??
The following is my prediction for the opening line-up:
Westwood
Palmer Loovens Lees Wiggins
Lee Semedo
Wallace McGugan Bannan
Nuhiu
WHO'S THE BASTARD IN THE BLACK
Ref - Graham Scott
Assts - Jake Collin & Michael McDonough
4th Official - Nigel Miller

Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so. For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.
