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.
This is it lads. Time for Szczesny to step up to the mark and see if he justifies all of those calling for him to be made number 1. A good game tonight could see us have our new number 1 for years to come. A bad game could potentially damage his confidence and who knows how that could play out. Feeling extremely nervous and excited for this game, haven't felt like this in a while!
I know there was talk of a leg injury to fabianski but if there were any fitness doubts keeping him out of the first team then surely he wouldnt have made the bench?
Big improvement on the team we played last season:
Manuel Almunia Bacary Sagna William Gallas Thomas Vermaelen Gael Clichy Denilson(79) Alex Song Andrey Arshavin(81) Abou Diaby Emmanuel Eboue(71) Robin van Persie
