The inbreds will just give a few of our players a good kicking again!
I will be very suprised if we come out of this game without another long-term injury!!!

I don't think v.Persie will start.
Hopefully we will see Chamberlain starting, with Park on the bench and how is TW upfront

However got a niggling feeling Chamakh will start

Doubt we'll see the ox starting, maybe come on as a sub. Hopefully another decent game in the CC against Bolton will see him in the squad for more games

That's why Frimpong is suited for this one. He would dish it back all day.

Another 2-1 i reckon.

Arteta and RVP to score.

Would be tempted to play Song as a CB and Koscienly at RB which is where he will play soon anyway when Vermaelen is back to combat their tactics and keep Djourou out of the side.

Gutted to miss it, gf booked a night at a spa hotel on a Sun as the game was on Sat, it then got moved, careful planning gone wrong.
The only other 'big man' apart from our BFG that seems incapable of jumping more than an inch above their actual height!!

Don't know about that, he was a pain at the lane last year, he was winning the diagonal balls in the air all night.

What are u trying to say Henry? Sagna, with a broken leg, is better than Djourou?? If that's the case then I totally agree!!!!

BREAKING ARSENAL TEAM NEWS:
Interesting for all of you who think the Gunners are a one-man team these days, because Robin van Persie starts on the bench against Stoke. Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh are up front. Alex Song is captain.

2 strange decisions

RVP injured?

Big_G · Post by **Big_G** » Sun Oct 23, 2011 11:51 am

Team in full: Szczesny, Djourou, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Andre Santos, Song, Arteta, Ramsey, Walcott, Gervinho, Chamakh.

Substitutes: Fabianski, Frimpong, Rosicky, Benayoun, Arshavin, Park, Van Persie.
