Sure easy win. Fulham so poor this season... 3 - 0 gunners.
-
0 - 12 to the arsenal.
adebayor and dudu to score 6 each.
we need it to narrow GD / overtake manure. -
hard 2 say fulham where got always lose
-
I say we will be held by Fulham. A draw. Arsenal not consistent like Man U. We need lucky goals
-
prev match play so badly so tis match could b draw again unless wenger play his cards well(play the true wingers and not guys like diaby at LM).... fulham sure will learn from brum and camp in center...
-
My prediction: Fulham 1000 - Arsenal 999
-
i am kinda worrying for our team. cos we seem to suffer from goal drought n not knowing how to shoot outside the box.
should fulham park their bus at pk box after scoring the lead, we might lose point.

Wenger backs hungry Gunners
The Gunners are unbeaten in 11 games, but head into Saturday's Premier League trip to Fulham looking to get their title bid back on track after slipping off the top of the table following the frustrating 1-1 home draw with Birmingham.
On Thursday, Wenger sold unsettled midfielder Lassana Diarra to Portsmouth, and for a healthy profit, yet has no intentions of strengthening his squad during the transfer window - despite the loss of key defender Kolo Toure, Emmanuel Eboue and Alex Song to the African Nations Cup.
The Arsenal manager remains convinced there is enough talent in his emerging young side - which has come a long way in a short space of time after losing talisman captain Thierry Henry during the summer - to secure their first silverware since the FA Cup in 2005.
"There is a real hunger and we are all on the same wavelength. We have the same love for the game, and that drives you on," declared Wenger, his side still in the hunt for the Champions League and both domestic cup competitions.
"You feel there is a potential in the side and that you want to win, but they want to win as well."
Wenger continued on Arsenal TV: "We have taken a step forwards, because at this period of last season they were 16 or 17 points behind the leader. This year after 21 games, we were two points in front.
"That must give us belief, first of all that we have come higher up because Liverpool have invested, Manchester United have invested, Chelsea have invested as always, and we still have made up the ground and are in front of them.
"That makes me believe we can win trophies at the end of the season."
Wenger remains as committed as ever to the Arsenal cause, having long resisted offers of the opportunity to work elsewhere in Europe, and even at one stage manage England.
The highly-respected French coach, 58, who holds an economics degree from Strasbourg University, agreed a new, lucrative three-year contract in September and could well see out his managerial career at Emirates Stadium.
Wenger revealed: "At the moment this season, I am so happy because every day is a real pleasure to work with my team.
"You come in the morning, and you are happy to go in to your job.
"The high ambitions I have are for this club to win every single competition and the dream I have to play the football we love - that keeps me going on."
Wenger added: "I will have to be honest enough that one day when I wake up and feel I do not want really want that any more or I am not good enough any more - but I hope that is a long time away."
Arsenal should have winger Tomas Rosicky back for the trip to Craven Cottage, after the Czech midfielder missed the Birmingham game because of a virus.
However, striker Robin van Persie - also hit by a similar flu bug last week - may well need more time to recover after picking up what was described by Wenger as a "minor" thigh problem during the Carling Cup semi-final first leg against Tottenham.
Johan Djourou (groin) could return to the squad, with Arsenal short of cover in the centre of defence. -
we better WIN n start banging lots of GOALS!!!
RvP, pls come back! -
Van Persie tio virus liao along with Djourou so they both won't play this match... But don't worry, Senderos, Bendtner and Adebayor will be fit to play... Anyway this should be an easy match, the current Fulham won't give them any problems... even their second team could win.

a 1-0 win will do for me..but you know,last season we lost to them away.Originally posted by zocoss:Van Persie tio virus liao along with Djourou so they both won't play this match...

Is it! i didn't know that leh... But last season gunners wasn't really same level as this... and also Fulham like got 7 players out injured... A club like fulham don't have much decent backup players to step in when the frontline are out injured. That is why i say shouldn't be to much problem for a 2 to 3 goals win.Originally posted by felirox:a 1-0 win will do for me..but you know,last season we lost to them away. -
