As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Porto midfielder Alan Varela:
"We have two Champions League trophies. What do Arsenal have? We will go to them confident we can qualify.” [@FrazFletcher] #afc
This should be pinned to the dressing room wall
Someone needs to tell Alan that players don't inherit medals previously won by other players

Reckon Jesus will come in for Martinelli and Zinchenko for Kiwior(not saying I want Zinchenko in)but reckon thts what will happen, they're obviously going to sit on the lead, so won't be doing much attacking ,so Zinchenko won't have to defend too much.
Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior; Jorginho, Rice; Saka, Odegaard, Havertz, Trossard
Sure what the fuck do I know
According to Livescore we have two goalies on the bench.
Surely not
We have Hein and Ramsdale

With the amount of perma crocks in the squad options are limited.
Surely the young lad that everyone is after should have the place. Unless he's injured too.

Looking at our bench and Martinelli is the only injury from the senior players
Subs: Ramsdale, Hein, Partey, Jesus, Smith Rowe, Nketiah, Cedric, Tomiyasu, Fabio Vieira, Nelson, Elneny, Zinchenko.

From that Partey, Jesus, Smith Rowe, Tomi, Vieira, Elneny and Zinchenko have all missed massive chunks of the season.
Those sick notes couldn’t be thrown into the mixer tonight (from the off anyway).

This could be all over with us 4 up at half time or it could be a horrible night of frustration. I think we'll do what we need to do but let's make it a easy for ourselves, shall we.
