    I find motor sport a real drag.
    And Moto just makes me cross.

    I expect to start with the same team that started against West Brom. Arsenal May have been struggling recently but if we give them space and time they will tear us apart. Keep it tight and maybe sling on Okaka if still level after an hour
    Can’t stand Collymore and Crooks, anybody with a sleeve tattoo and any player who refuses to play to get a move. Ban them for a year with no pay
    Like footballers who give part of their salary to charity. Apparently Ballotelli donates 50% of his salary to benefit African children.

    I see Arsenal got their one good game out five out the way lastnight, Milan are 7th in a worse league than ours so it wasnt that big a deal. I think we can get something at the Arabian Ailines Stadium on Sunday. Will Hughes in front of Capoue please, the amount of times Capoue gets caught in position or gives the ball away leading to an attack is shocking.

    Was Sting one of the backing band for B Bumble in the classic Nut Rocker ?

    Sting is apparently a contemperary of WBGS and also of WFC who owns a small sword, lives in Selsey and persistently falls out with me due to my getting a bit tasty after a scoopy on a Friday night and him having a somewhat fragile skin.

    But also a somewhat over-rated Geordie musician who lives on a big estate in Wiltshire and in various other spots around the northern hemisphere, possibly including in Selsey.

    So are they one and the same? Confused.com. Answers on a postcard please.

    I didn't see the match but from what I've read, Arsenal's defence was as dodgy as ever. Is that right?

    Well they did get a clean sheet in Italy - no mean feat. Rode their luck yes... but still.

    Yes. They were lucky to get away with a clean sheet in their 2-0 away win against AC Milan in the San Siro.
    On that basis, as long as we play to our abilities we could get double figures on Sunday.

    The same. Heard to break into "Don't stand so, Don't stand so, Don't stand so close to me" after getting shoved on the way out after the WBA game.

    Get the feeling we'll return to 5 at the back.

    Assuming no injuries (Which is near guaranteed)

    55" - Gray off, Okaka on

    70" - Hughes off, Pereyra on,

    80" - Britos off, Richarlison on, Switch 4-4-2. Pereyra RM, Richarlison LM

    Wouldn't have thought Gray will start.

    Would have thought Pereyra will.

    I have never wanted Troy Deeney to score in a league game as much as this.

    Wenger mentioning Troy's comments after the last game in his press conference today. It's amazing how a simple observation by the captain of little old Watford has left Arsenal wanting revenge since October, how they have fallen. They can beat us on Sunday yet Troy will still be absolutely right, their fans will be hilarious on Sunday afternoon whatever the result!

    To be honest Wenger needs any crumbs he can find to try and motivate his players at this stage.

    Back on first name terms again with Troy eh?

    I'm sure you'll be the first calling him the usual names after the game.

    Both Stings are amazing. This one would not mind some of the other's musical ability - nor money. He would buy a shell suit - or make one on the beach.

    I'm surprised and, frankly, disappointed to see so many posters prepared to openly admit to liking Sting and/or The Police.

    Apparently there's a complete nutter out there called Kelso who, once he'd taken the trouble to read through it, appreciated one of the Stings' threads called Have the EU gone too far and the considered comments therein.

    He lives on Carathumpia.

    It is boring now but i think in the health & safety world we live in it's expected. I agree he wouldn't last against the greats he just happens to be British so I want him to win

    Bowie's codpiece in Labyrinth was immense.

    Deserved a title credit of its own.

    Pretty much agree, but with Kiko out on the right and now Holebas is fit out on the left

    Kill the space, have pace down the sides and with Gray up front to stretch them.

    Either of the two wing backs can drop in at any time to make a back 4. The longer we can frustrate them the more the crowd will get on their backs. I don't expect us to get many chances, so its important that we take them when they come along

    No good having Gray up there then, if you reckon we need to put our few chances away.

    Hamilton is one of the only top F1 drivers ever to come from a working class background. Add to the fact that hes mixed race in the F1 elitist world is an extra achievment.

    Agree about the dullness of F1 in comparision to earlier times.

    In terms of Hamilton, hes considered to be the fastest of the drivers and the most aggressive and able at overtaking.
