I was there.
One of my very first matches.
I remember the thunderous sound of those wooden stands. It was the night I realised I was hopelessly hooked. I was 8 years old.
The problem with expecting Arsenal to win is they might not and that then f**ks with our heads. Because West Ham beat Everton with a last minute goal, that took a lot of the good out of our win v Wolves and I felt pretty low.Can't wait for this, I'm expecting Arsenal to win on Saturday and in theory if we can take 3 points we'd be pretty close to safety. Massive massive game, just have to hope Leeds have relaxed a bit knowing they're all but safe (will be mathematically safe if Arsenal win).

Going into last weekend, I thought "brick, if West Ham win and we lose, we are dead and could be officially down if we don't beat Leeds". Lo and behold, the opposite happens and the mindset shifts massively as I now think "we've a great chance of staying up".
I'm expecting West Ham to get a result on Saturday. If they don't, bonus. Either way, I'm expecting us to win on Monday and if we do that, we will still be outside the relegation zone.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is a sting in the tail of the title race yet. Where that'll be, I don't know and it may be City dropping more points. But I'm sure RDZ will be saying to the players, "focus on what you can control, if you do that, you'll be fine".I just think we need to keep our own powder dry and do what we do, I was fully invested in the Brentford game at the weekend but not again, its now on us. I am seeing loads of online polls and crap about "would you like WHU to beat Arsenal etc"..............ridiculous
I think someone might suggest they are on the beach NOW they are safe.Yeah, I don't think Leeds are on the beach at all. They're unbeaten in six league games stretching back to 3rd March (the fixture series where Palace beat us). This will be tough coz they are a good and awkward side.
To sum your post up.......The problem with expecting Arsenal to win is they might not and that then f**ks with our heads. Because West Ham beat Everton with a last minute goal, that took a lot of the good out of our win v Wolves and I felt pretty low.
