Apparently Szcesesezceny hasn't traveled with the team, so a start in goal for Vito.

yep fcuked ankle

Fucked ankle my bollocks, he's been dropped

He was clearly injured Saturday as his kicking proved in the second half.

Can see Koscielny starting, along with Santos, Ramsey, Feo and Giroud - id be tempted to keep Diaby back, maybe give him half an hour in the second half.

Mannone also spent a lot of time warming up 2nd half from what I hear

[SteveO 35]

I hear Abou is in the squad....

....perhaps the CL group stage just became exciting after all

Chim-chim-en-ee, Chim-chim-en-ee, Chim-chim-cher-ooo
Who needs Cesc and Nasri, when we've got Aboooooou

you should have watched the fans forum on the official website Steveo.

the guest on there was comparing Abou to Patrick Vieira

from my point of view it is now a must watch because the clueless pole is not playing. Vito!

I presume the guest who made the comparison had his white van parked outside with a rolled up copy of the Sun in the window and brown sauce stains down his T-shirt ?

Red - I do agree with you on the latter point. Chesney was woeful - the sole bad point - in Saturday's performance. I have given him the benefit of the doubt and assumed that he hadn't recovered from injury because he was simply awful - not just for the goal but with that shocking kicking too. Whilst I don't rate Mannone he deserves to be back in the side for now

[Gunnersaurus]

Arsenal team tonight: Mannone, Jenks, Per, TV, Gibbs, Arteta, Coq, Cazorla, Podolski, Gerv, Giroud.

Looking Good... Iwas worried he's play that hapless dork Djourou.!

[Gunnersaurus]

Looks strong, thought he might rest Chamberlain for Giroud and move Gervinho across.

it was some old journalist possibly from the Sun called Steve Stammers.
I was particularly impressed that he agreed with me that the Udinese game was the most important one of last season

[Macca]

Didn't see the show but I know Steve Stammers writes for The Mirror...

Like the look of the team, strong side, I believe it's important to get the points in the bag early on if you can, even if we do play City on Sunday...

[Gunnersaurus]

Sunday is 5 days away, plenty of time to get prepared.

Agree....I used to play Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning AND manage to go out on the lash Friday and Saturday nights !!
