[YoungWolf]

Any particular place you got your tickets, I dont fancy buying a membership to Arsenal for the privilege urgh.

Off a season ticket holder who had a spare sorry!

Thanks! They opened up the tickets for the FA Cup when I saw Wimbledon there but oh well.

hopefully Neves misses out on a booking tonight, so we can play him v wet spam sunday. He's vital at the moment, especially if Moutinho is returning from injury.

 

[Tony Towner]

Assuming he's not booked tonight I'll be very surprised if he isn't on Sunday, based on the 2 games following

 

[lemonjelly]

my thoughts exactly!

Anyone else getting an earlier than usual matchday buzz today? Massive game. It's a world away from what we're generally used to as long suffering Wolves fans, to be involved in such a high stakes game, where the end aim is to potentially qualify or be in the mix for Champions League football. I'm not saying tonight will define which way our season goes, but I don't personally think we can afford Arsenal a +6 net gain in points on us in direct face to face fixtures. Would absolutely love us to do them over convincingly.

Not sure what sort of state their squad is in, as far as injuries/suspensions etc goes. I'm guessing they will be full strength?

Me! Huge game. Obviously far from disastrous if we lose as you say, but the position we'd be in if we win would be wonderful.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I’m buzzing for the game already. Quite nervous but very hopeful.

 

[malta mick]

Seen somewhere how pissed off their fans are about having Atkinson as ref......." he hates us "

What what I can tell, they appear to be pretty much at full strength

 

[Sniffer]

They've scored in each of their last 28 games against us.

 

[Del Woppio]

If we don't win, then I think the CL looks almost impossible. Incredible that we're in a massive game with CL potential at stake though, and it's a game that could go either way.

 

[Sniffer]

14 games out is a bit different to 2 seasons ago when we still had a shot at the Champions League with 2 games and 2 minutes to go.

Its great that we are in the race though.

 

[lemonjelly]

Been buzzing since the final whistle went in the burnley spurs game last night tbh.

 

[Dire Wolf]

In so far as expectations go, it's pretty much a nothing to lose game for us, so I'd like to see us really go out and attack them. In all honesty, I'd be surprised if we won and would happily take a draw with a win on Sunday. Beating West Ham seems more crucial to me, but maybe I'm just trying to temper my hopes and expectations.

 

[Bigbadwulf07]

Can't wait to see our full time celebrations should we happen to win. All the players should be issued with party poppers just in case

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Getting close to team news. Sweaty palms and squeaky bum time.

 

[Sniffer]

Hwang comes in for Dendoncker and is the only change from Sunday.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

3-4-3 then I assume

 

[Wilf Wolf]

I'm surprised but think it's a good move to try and take the game to them a bit more.
