Good luck to any Gooners going to the game, the place is a shithole and some of their fans seem to think they are Ultra's... :roll: :

The best way to get to The Stade Bollaert-Delelis from the UK is to get the Eurostar from London to Lille before changing to an internal train from Lille to Lens. It will take you about three hours and there are up to eight trains a day that you can catch. Gare de Lens is the closest train station to the ground and is a quick walk.

Thomas Partey has RETURNED to training with Arsenal.

Bukayo Saka also trained but there was no Gabriel Martinelli.

If it means he plays midfield and we can bring Rice off early IF comfortable then no problem, just hope he isn’t put back in as a right back, inverted or not.

PS Trossard trained properly too :barscarf: i

Mikel Arteta's press conference has been cancelled as per @Football_LDN.

The Arsenal squad have been stuck at Luton Airport because of storms causing a delay to their flight out to France.

Should go by fucking mini bus, like the one we had at school. They'd turn up with a few injuries after that! :lol:

Yeah! And the teacher doing the driving would turn up late stinking of Booze and then besides swerving all over the road, then after the game start falling asleep at the wheel so we had to keep nudging him. True Honest! :?

I hope we have the opportunity to take it a bit easier tonight. Get the job done in the first 45 and coat through the second, ideally.

So, we'll lose 1-0. :lol:

Yeah I went in 98, got a few mates out there and been warning them about Lens. Apparently last night they were looking for Gooners. Got to watch your back away in Europe. I have a trip coming up.

Safe travels to the team and any fans going. Come home with no injuries and 3 points :barscarf:

With City this weekend, might be worth rotating the squad more than we did against PSV?

Lens are known to have very loyal, loud and colorful fans. Should be a good atmosphere.
If we play well we will win but who knows who's going to turn up tonight!! :rubchin:
