Don't shoot the messenger, but due to the red tape that has to be sorted on TH's loan deal, he will Not be available till the Leeds game.
I think this is a far bigger game than some realise (points wise and table position)
This is our chance to get level with s***s on points - which will have a Big Psychological affect for both teams....
I think he will start with RVP on the bench - we'll have to endure chamakh for at least 45 mins
Benyoun and Rosicky to start - both good engines (well for 60 mins) also we have TV5 missing, so wankDjourou at CB!
Migel left back.............
Gonna be tougher than some seem to think, Mert is gonna need to be 'On Form' with all the crosses that'll be coming in, especially with wankDjourou as his CB partner...
I think Ox will get a game against Leeds rather than today, so we'll have to endure walcott running up his usual blind alleys and missing 'sitters'...
The mid-field will win (or lose) this one today...so Rambo, Song and Arteta need to turn up from the first whistle.
U.T.A
Ah darn, I was hoping Thierry would have been cleared for a ncie cameo today. Ah well
Wenger claims we are on a strong run. if by strong you mean barely scraping wins against Villa and QPR and dropping points against Wolves, you deluded insane old clod. strong runs are more convincing.
This is indeed a big game from us, players will need to be rested and it's important to start the new year off with a win, and a good one at that.

bardie, why do you say that djourou will play centreback? it sounds wiser to play koscielny, a much better defender, alongside the BFG with djourou at right back like he's been playing recently.
and i must i say, while i do agree that djourou is shite, that i think he's doing a decent job at right back.
Real excited for this one, quite nervous too though. If we rest our better players, we will struggle for goals. If we play them, we will probably pick up an injury. Joyous
Was hoping to see Henry in for this one, it'd be a good game for him to come into, but as others have already said it looks like we'll have to watching the one man wrecking crew named Chamakh. Wrecking our chances to get 3 points that is.
Wtf ever happened to our South Korean shirt seller Ju? Dong-got-won for Sunderland, maybe we should try playing ours once in a while...
All that being said, big implications on the table. Hope we come out firing. If indeed we get to see AOC, it could be a big chance for him to shine. Would also love to see Arshavin come out and start the new year on the right foot. Maybe wishful thinking.
Heading off now, not overly confident, maybe a few drinks and the confidence will flow. Can not see them rolling over like they did for the cockney reds!
there's got to be something we don't know. he must've fucked up at training at some point or something like that. wenger played theo a lot more when he came and he wasn't half the player the ox !
