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.

We never, ever complete 90 minutes without one of the two wide players being replaced and on most occasions both of them. Of course without a Song replacement he can never sub Arteta, whilst Wilshere and Cazorla are the two players he relies upon the most. Watch it happen again at Swansea. Even if Wilshere or Cazorla are looking physically fucked after an hour which both of them have done recently, it'll be the two wide players that get subbed first. Its so fucking predictable that a 12 year old can call it......and he does, every fucking game
I dont see either starting against the Swans? Maybe one but two very doubtful.
I can see Coq, Rambo and Rosicky starting.
Worryingly, Sagna (whose form lately has been a bit erratic) was absolute dog-shit in this game. His worst ever performance in the red and white. Firing passes into touch 5 yards behind his intended target, whining and moaning at everyone around him, getting caught out of position repeatedly, not seeing very obvious runs he should have made, getting robbed easily in posession...
His whole body language too is that of someone very unhappy with his lot...

Agreed. He was rash for the first goal against Newcastle and like a frightened puppy for the second, but Southampton was a performance of the sort of incompetence normally reserved for Messrs Squillaci and Djourou.
