Superstar ex Gooner Eduardo returns tonight to the home of football, I hope we all give him a rousing reception, don’t forget we never got the chance to say goodbye, that guy took one for the team and probably ruined his career in the process, Eduardo we all love you, top man and thanks for the memories!
Cesc should be back tonight, I hope he comes on rather than starts so he doesn’t pick up another niggle in what will be a frenetic start. They will try and play football, they should come at us from the start and we should be ready, I expect Theo to come on as well as Bendtner, so three lively subs.
I reckon this will be be the starting line up tonight.
Fabianski
Eboue Squillaci Djourou Gibbs
Wilshere Denilson Song
Rosicky Chamakh Diaby
I think he’ll rest Arshavin and Nasri because Denilson hasn’t figured too much this season, didn’t say I wanted it, but I expect it and I think he’ll play Diaby further forward.
I also expect a win, and I think Jack to have a blinder, he’ll get a long rest after this one.
I have to say that Roy Keane has to be footballs biggest plank, to suggest that Rooney is a piece of meat on £120k a week is as insulting to the population as it is as mind numbingly stupid, what a twit. Save to say we are all enjoying watching Rooney and ManU implode in such spectacular fashion, well done shrek.
To all but qualify so early in the ECL will give the boss the chance to try out the fringees, give the first teamers a rest and give us all something to smile about, it also gives us a chance to play a stronger team in the Worthless cup, the one trophy we stand a real chance of winning this season.
Although Wenger didn’t say no to Rooney, we all know he won’t spend more than £10mil on a player, so we don’t have to worry about getting involved there and to be honest, I think he’s rubbish, I wouldn’t want him, I wouldn’t even swap him for Denilson or Song…
A good chance for Diaby to show what he can do, a good chance for him to unleash a few shots, we all know he can, but the days of promise are long gone, if he wants to win that Balloon door, he needs to start showing he can at least blow one up. So on that note I tip him to get a couple at least tonight.
I don’t think we’ll see JET, Vela or Lansbury but I do wonder why he is keeping Randall, not that I don’t like him, I just think it’s as odd as keeping Simpson, he’ll never feature, so let him go and get a chance somewhere else, we’ll also save some money.
A lot of people were debating cheating, conning and just penalties yesterday, I think the consensus of opinion is if we get away with it it’s okay! So today let’s talk about the game tonight. I’ll be there and will be cheering the team on, I’ll be cheering Eduardo, but I’ll be cheering Squillaci and Djourou louder for keeping him quiet!
A final note for Mannone, good luck at Hull boy, it seems that Wenger has decided to give Chezzer his head in the Worthless Cup, take your chance well son, we all believe and we all hope!
Have a great day grovers, tonight should be a great game.

what’s the prediction for Sunday?
Lol he was being rested for Sunday!
2-1 for us,if Diaby doesnt play.3-1 to the City if Diaby plays
we usually get hammered up there goonert1m and adebayor no doubt will score…
pretty worried, but mankini might go all defensive on us and give us a 0-0.
It wasn’t Diaby that gifted them 2 goals last year up there though was it!
We need and are due a big away win, this is the one to do it in, shame Jack s unavailable!
Whatever you say Geoff.That mug slows our play down,tries to dribble past five players as if he is Zidane eventually giving the ball away.And of all things,idiot doesnt even get substituted even if he is having a horrible game(which he always have).
Up until last season we always won at City, always.
You know he has his 3 favourites Jag and nothing will stop him from playing them, frankly I can’t see how he favours Denilson over Lansbury or Eastmond.
No Geoff.We lost 1-0 at City during the 2006-07 season,lost 3-0 in the 08-09 season and 4-2 last year.
Yes Geoff.The axis of evil(quoting Gambon) Song,Denilson and Diaby.
Probably because doesn’t run around showing people his knob Geoff !…..let’s hope a midfield of nasri, cesc, aa23 and the dud will do the trick at shiteeh….
Geoff
Great win by The Arsenal. Jack Wilshire has skill coming out of his arse. Is he really English
Song is all over the place, quite shocking how much he looses the ball.
Another notch for Chamakh. He is a great player.
I know people will say we won 5-1 so shut the fuck up, but I thought until the second went in it was tight, still we won and were fab.
I think we’ll miss Jack, but when we get him and Ramsey back, with Lansbury knocking on the door we don’t need to see Denilson or Song again and Diaby shouldn’t come back until he learns how to shoot and give the ball to someone in a red shirt.
Gnarley you wouldn’t think so would you!
GoonerT1m wholeheartedly agree, shocking.
More like Diaby shouldnt come back ever.
The team (minus the 3 amigos) are on the brink, Djourou starting to look like a defender, clichy had a better game and we just need to keep quiet about the goalie and pray!
Pedro / Geoff – Why is it taking my PC ages to open up this page? Other websites are ok.
What a beautiful evening, 5-1!!
Morning All
In other news, JET scored another hattrick…he deserves as many chances given to denilson/diaby to develop to whatever they have..
Morning Sabeel, Watched the first CL match live. BTW have you subscribed to Ten Action?
Jag – you called the play last night “fluent”
Might it be suggested that your new found optimism has arrived at the right time in the season?
Goonerman Pedro will be on soon, he’ll know.
Geoff – cheers
Geoff
Seriously though, Jack Wilshire is fast becoming my fav Arsenal player. He is everywhere. & that goal was sublime.
He is a box to box midfielder, used be to be called a defensive midfielder, this kid can play anywhere, he is Liam Brady reborn.

- had dropped out for a discussion.
luckily,I get Tenaction,hence i dont need to subscribe for it..
actually our carling cup game against Newcastle next week is live on tenaction..better get that soon…
If he keeps improving at the rate he has this season we’ll have our cesc replacement by January!
Lansbury Frimpong Wilshere
Afobe JET Aneke
That’s the future of the Engligh national team….
Song, Clichy, Eboue – everyone was playing so ridiculously up the pitch, it looked something like 2-0-0-8 at times!
wilshere goal was the best yesterday…what buildup
I think clichy had one solid game yesterday,,
song as usual was the worst of all
Sabeel, thanks
actually our carling cup game against Newcastle next week is live on tenaction..better get that soon…
