Team is pretty much what I expected and I am shocked that any of you expected any different
Honestly don't think that Gabriel can be trusted to play alongside chambers cos the dozy cu.nt sometimes looks like a rabbit caught in headlights and in my opinion he needs an experienced partner alongside him. Elneny, gibbs and chambers were always going to start, and I reckon that wally is being picked so that he can score a goal and wenger will be able to way lyrical about what a world class player he really is
Somebody raised the issue the other day about the risk factor of playing ospina tonight, and I have to say that it was something that hadn't occurred to me but maybe it should have - with cech already out for a month, can we afford to risk ospina in a game that we should win anyway ? If we don't trust our 3rd choice keeper tonight against a championship side resting half it's starting team, then how the fu.ck will we manage if he has to play against premiership sides and the mighty barca at the camp nou ?

Still not convinced i'd trust a full strength team out there tonight Augie, you just never know who is going to turn up
I'm not liking the balance of the midfield so far. The real creative players are all missing. I think we are going to be in for a bit of a dour battle.

i said at the weekend, Put a black shirt on him and give him a whistle and you would think he was the ref. Bloke offers fuck all apart from sideshow Bob hair style.
