The Official Arsenal v Newcastle Utd thread

The line-up I would "like" to see:

Almunia-Sagna-Clichy-Djourou-Gallas-Walcott-Song-Fabregas-Nasri-Adebayor-Van Persie

The line-up I expect to see:

Almunia-Sagna-Clichy-Gallas-Toure-Walcott-Denilson-Fabregas-Nasri-Adebayor-Van Persie

I have a very real fear that our midfield will be a bit lightweight against Newcastle if Denilson plays alongside Fabregas, that's why I'd rather see Song in there. I also think that Djourou brings some much needed height and muscle to the back-four - something Toure does not. Personally I'd rather have Toure than Gallas (as long as Toure could show his proper form) but Gallas is the Captain so he will stay.

Gallas, Nasri, Walcott all fit for Newcastle
By Richard Clarke

ArsÃ¨ne Wenger will rotate an unchanged squad for the Premier League clash with Newcastle at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

Arsenal were left nursing minor problems with Samir Nasri (sickness), Theo Walcott (knee) and William Gallas (knee) after Wednesdayâ€™s victory over Twente. However, at Fridayâ€™s press conference the manager revealed positive news.

It means he will select from the same squad this weekend â€“ but he will not be selecting the same team.

â€œThere were doubts over William Gallas, Theo Walcott and Samir Nasri but they are OK,â€

My preffered line up:

Almunia
Sagna
Djourou
Gallas
Clichy
Theo
Cesc
Song
Nasri
RvP
Ade

Subs:

fabianski
Nik
Toure
Denilson
Eboue

theo would be better up front though

Its on Sultana again hence the stupid ko time. If anyone knows a reliable internet feed can you post it this afternoon cos there is always a plea for someone to post a link just as the game is starting.

Bad news that Owen is looking good. Still haven't forgiven him for 2001.

Good news that Milner is gone. V underrated IMO.

I've transferred Given out of my fantasy footy team so looking for a sack full of goals.

Think I'll be happy as long as Eboue aint playing but my guess is that he will be

Have you all lost faith in Kolo or something... seemingly prefering Djourou..

Just think he looks out of form and the malaria obviously hasn't helped his fitness!

Just about to set off. Don't know why but i have a good feeling about this game. Perhaps its the weather.
