BOB Up With...Rohith

Starting today, before every match weekend, I ll be inviting guests (our fellow Gooners) for match predictions and analysis of the upcoming weekend matches…(similar to Lawro’s predictions in BBC)

Have named it… “BOB up with” series J

I have chosen Rohith as my first guest for this all important NLD weekend..

So its “BOB up with Rohith” this weekend J

Apart from the “usual” score line which he has predicted the for the NLD, he expects wins for City, Everton, Southampton, West Ham and Swansea.

He Also thinks Liverpool will edge out United on Sunday.

	BOB	Rohith	Actual
SATURDAY
Man City v Hull	3-1	4-0
Cardiff v Everton	0-2	1-2
Newcastle v Fulham	2-1	2-2
Norwich v Southampton	2-0	2-3
West Ham v Stoke	2-1	3-1
Crystal Palace v Sunderland	0-1	1-1
SUNDAY
Liverpool v Man Utd	1-2	2-1
West Brom v Swansea	2-1	1-3
Arsenal v Tottenham	2-1	5-2

Below are the transcripts between myself (BOB) & Rohith (RS) on his say about Arsenal’s current form, Transfers, UCL Draw, Flamini and much more J

BOB: Hi Rohith, welcome, what’s your vibe about this weekend?

RS: Thank you, I would say “bullish”. I definitely believe we can overcome Spurs with the current squad we have although have to admit the fact that I am not satisfied with the activities which we have done over the transfer window in the past couple of months.

BOB: There’s a feeling among many that we have not been tested enough, do you feel we won’t be able to cope with the likes of Tottenham considering the fact that they have made some very good additions?

RS: I feel they lack their X factor with the absence of Bale. He is their player who can come in and create a difference in all their games.

And Of course Derbies are much different to other match days isn’t it?

With our current squad, I certainly believe we can play a top game and defeat them.

BOB: Whom do you think would be Game turner for both Arsenal and Tottenham for this weekend?

RS: For  Arsenal, it would be Cazorla for sure and for tottenham, I would pick Lamela (if he’s included in the squad) else I would go for Vetronghen.

BOB: Is 5-2 a fancy scoreline to predict? J

RS: [chuckles] I believe history is gonna get repeated again.

BOB: What do you feel about the re-signing of Flamini?

RS: If you had asked the same question (about signing Flamini) 2 months back, I would have told it would be a very bad choice.

But now I feel he is not as bad as what many say although personally I still won’t forgive him for the way he left us then.

We should also Remember the fact that he declined to commit to the 2 year contract was offered to him at Milan, so getting him was not easy too.

BOB: Your take on yesterday’s UCL Draw?

RS: Before it started I was praying for us to be in a group of death and I felt that my prayers were answered when the draw was announced.

I am very much excited about all those 6 games which we are gonna play and I predict Arsenal to come 2nd from this so called “Group of Death”.

We usually play well against the big teams but struggle against the likes of Olympiakos etc, and that’s why I think we will do well.

BOB: Final question, which all areas do you feel we need to strengthen?

RS: My first priority would be a striker, then I would want a pure defensive midfielder and then a winger and finally a good goal keeper in that order.

BOB: Thanks for your time Rohith, I wish your predictions comes true J

RS: Thank you.
