Need 3pts tomorrow after most of our rivals picked up wins today (everton,reading & Swansea) :wink: In other news the big teams (manure and chavs) both look like getting maximum pts from their games :cry: :cry:

Last I heard chesney is doubtful for this game and the thought of flaps (or worse still mannone) being in goals is the stuff of nightmares :cussing: I can understand wenger not going for Cesar from inter even at 3m cos he won't want to displace chesney for fear of a backlash from our young keeper but there are a couple of solid experienced keepers still available on bosmans (Craig Gordon for example) who at best would provide genuine competition for chesney or at worst be an experienced back up

Not sure I would start cazorla tomorrow tbh - I know the possible implications of that would be severe but he will not have a clue what is ahead of him and it would be just our luck if one of those Neanderthal c**ts were to do him tomorrow and put our only creative player on the sideline for a lengthy period.

Reported on Twitter that Mannone starts.

Thought squeaky bum time started about ten minutes from the end of the game, not 3 hours before :(

Robert Huth on twitter -

"Let's do this shit" :shock:

With Mannone :lol: in goal it's going to be a loooong day. It's the water bottles and fourth official I really feel sorry for. Can see Wenger spending the entire 90 doing his retarded penguin routine of flapping his arms up and down at the ref. Yet again gross neglect from him not having a suitable back up keeper. Same old Wenger :roll:

Mannone in goal, Fabianski isn't even on the bench.
Two injured goalkeepers, out of nowhere. :roll:

I was actually feeling confident about this game for some reason until I read that Mannone is playing. Expect Stoke to target him :( :( :cry:
