Am surprised we are missing from the list of goals scored by substitutes this season - surely with our attacking options on the bench, we should be near the top of that list

where is Sanogo on that list, you know the guy Arsene said although not a 50M player has a lot of quality?
oh yes of course he ****** up.
It does tally with his philosophy in that the players on the pitch should be able to do the job, and I'm guessing he thinks changing things could kill their confidence.
Sat 12.4.14 : Sunderland v EVERTON [Everton 66 / Arsenal 64] We'll prob start the semi knowing we've slipped into 5th - so hope that won't affect us?
Tue 15.4.14 : ARSENAL v West Ham / Wed 16.4.14 : EVERTON v C Palace [Everton 69 / Arsenal 67] Yeah, gotta go for us to win in the league against a top 11 side, for 1st time since nov 13! surely?
Sat 19.4.14 : Hull v ARSENAL / Sun 20.4.14 : EVERTON v Man Utd [Everton 70 / Arsenal 68] Could be FA Final prelim, but cld be a stale game, also with Mancs improved, they cld sneak a point.
Sat 26.4.14 : Soton v EVERTON / Mon 28.4.14 : ARSENAL v Newcastle [Everton 73 / Arsenal 71] If we don't win this one and the above have gone as predicted, then it'll be irrelevant playing the last 2 IMO
Sat 3.5.14 : EVERTON v Man City / Sun 4.5.14 : ARSENAL v West Brom [Everton 73 / Arsenal 74] A slip up here for the toffees, me thinks, they could be overpowered. Us to win? Why not?
Sun 11.5.14 : Hull v EVERTON / Norwich v ARSENAL [Everton 76 / Arsenal 75] Us/Hull cld have other things on their minds-Wembley? jeez i fear for our focus, but fingers crossed i'm wrong
Then - losing the FA Cup final to Hull, finishing 5th and Wenger stays for another 2 years. If this happens - I WILL NOT GO to another game until we have a new Manger, ideally new board too, but one step at a time!
Me - pessimistic? probably, yet i've never been like this, i'm usually the eternal optimist ...

I disagree on a few.
I don't think Everton will beat United and I don't think they will go to Soton and win. There are a few in the Soton side still playing for a WC spot.
I think we will beat hull and just sneak it again.
I'm fairly confident we'll eke out our annual 4th place finish.
Everton have a significantly more difficult fixture list (the two Manc clubs, Southampton away) while I could easily see us winning out our remaining fixtures.
Also, Ramsey is back - whose presence can't be overemphasized, and both Ozil and Wilshere are due back before the season's end.

God, last year it was like winning a trophy!
Arsene Wenger. Worth every penny of his £8million per year. EVERY. PENNY.
I've now got two 'semis' to look forward to - the one on Saturday at Wembley, and the one that will be twitching in my pants at the very mention of 4th place glory at Carrow Road

How's ordering your supplies cumming along there, SteveO? Is there enough plastic sheeting in existance to deal with the megamuck load you will be shooting all over the gaff on that glorious day?

It depends if my old man is cumming over to watch the last day unfold. The dream treble of the FA Cup, 4th place and Wenger's new contract means I've got the industrial laminators on standby just in case

Have you ever watched Dexter? You could learn alot from the way he used plastic sheeting to set up his kill rooms. Accepted, I cannot confirm if that plastic sheeting will deal with gallons of man-jizz as effectively as it did with gallons of blood, but you might want to check it out.

I might well take your advice - look at the transfer rumours thread. If Niang and Azmoun sign then frankly plastic sheeting might not suffice
