Besiktas away

[Theoperator]

Im pretty sure all 3 Germans will get a run out sometime in the match, well maybe less so Pod

[Dan_85]

Demba Ba will have a field day if we defend set pieces like we did on Saturday.

1-1.

[Midz]

Being optimistic we need to do well in this match and should do ok. If we can come back 2-0 up we'll be alright.

for Gooners in America this will be on FOX Sports 1 , early afternoon in the East and Central.

I like this line up. For me flamini should start every game over arteta

[Ed Hunter The Gooner]

Kos and Gibbs probably out. That will mean that BFG might have to start and he got back just last Monday. A bit of a gamble I would say...

Was it a huge surprise to Wenger that Werm is going to be sold and BFG isn't ready just yet and that we are very thin in back? Kos has probably carried his achilles problem for a while so there shouldn't have been big surprises too.

We will probably get a result from this one but still I'm a bit afraid...

Arsenal must beat Besiktas to earn a place in the Champions League group stage, "no matter what it costs", says manager Arsene Wenger

just seen this quote from Wenger.

so (as we all should know by now) he will be playing as full a strength side as possible tomorrow night and to hell with the consequences for Everton away on Saturday. in fact if we get a bad result tomorrow expect to see a reserve side on Saturday because he will then be under enormous pressure ahead of next week's second leg.

Laurent Koscielny trains with Arsenal ahead of Besiktas clash

Good news for us.

[Gunner Rob]

yes but hence the quote from Wenger about winning this match at any cost.
if Koscielny is out injured until Christmas as a result of playing tomorrow night when he shouldnt be then that is ok in Wenger's mad little world where the pursuit of the CL money is far more important than anything else

[OneBardGooner]

Just heard on 5Live: No Sanogo !!!

Also No Gibbs (Injured) and No BFG...Kos has travelled expected to play, all those in the saturday squad have travelled.

According to AW, Postie's hamstrung so he'll have to go with Campbell. On the downside Gibbs is out.

Wrong thread I know but did not want to start a mc dowel thread (vanity thread), bought tickets today for the Hull match in October, when did it become impossible to pick your seat?, best I could do was pick a seat in block and all I got was the number of the seat, could not see it on the stadium plan before I bought it. I know moan moan moan but I like to know where I'm sitting before I select the ticket.
