They're on a good run at the moment up to 5th in league. Id play Sanchez just to give him game time, Theo through the middle as he needs to find some form. Elneny should start, as should chamberlain. At the back give Gabriel and Chambers a run out.

Well, I still love the FA Cup. And I'd love if we could make history and win the 3 in a row. 8) :barscarf:

And for those that think that would mean Wenger staying longer? Get a grip. Only one man will decide when Wenger leaves and that is Wenger. What he wins or doesn't win has absolutely no impact on his future. :|

If you pitched this sort of stuff to a publisher as some kind of Orwellian dystopian novel they’d probably say: "Nah, this is too far-fetched; tone it down a bit mate".

It certainly has a sense of unreality about it. A football club where success in football is secondary to success in finance and the holder of the key (and most risk intensive) job picks his own boss and decides if and when his own contract will end. :| :(

The Telegraph report that Coquelin could make his return against Burnley, & that Welbeck will resume full training tomorrow. #Arsenal

I have the same concern :(

We've been bumbling along for ages now but we'll have to hit some seriously good form soon before it's too late, and for that to happen Sanchez and Coq will definitely be needed as they provide the drive and energy that this team is badly missing.
By "Title run in" do you mean "Race for a top 4 finish"? :rubchin:

Well it's the ONLY fucking thing we could win. We should be up for it :(

There'll never be a final straw whilst the AKB still exist :banghead:

You know he'll be lucky to play half a dozen games before the end of the season :barscarf:

TOF loves barely playing new mid-season signings.

I concur 8)

How is it that you are ALWAYS right? :lol:

Was thinking the same myself - if elneny cannot get game time ahead of the brainless French mercenary, then he doesn't deserve to be in our club and somebody should call the Egyptian army to get him to do his national service asap :roll:

Some of you might refer to them as pubbers or second string, but I have to say that right now my interest in the game is largely dependent on their inclusion in the team. I am sick to the bollox of the pampered/entitled attitude of so many of our so called first team, and I would like to see several of our back ups playing in the hope that I wont have to suffer any more dogshite from wally, flamoney or Campbell (works hard but his inability to perform at the top level was cruelly exposed yesterday). Lets bring in Gabriel, elneny, chambers etc and give them a chance to oust some of the overpaid w*nkers in our first team :roll:

Sounds like a thrashing but the 2 Derby centre backs played like the Chuckle brothers. Own goal, a cheap handball penalty, and a deflection over the keeper.
Decent side, but should be a cake walk.

Augie, I refer to our crap youth team as pubbers. I don't consider Gabriel, Elneny, or Chambers pubbers and like you, I'd like to see them be used more. It would be nice to see Elneny actually get a game before the summer.

The trouble is, some of our second string have just as bad an attitude as the first team. I believe the pampered/entitled attitude you mention permeates through the entire club :(

Still, I want to see us lift the FA Cup in May :barscarf:
