Gavin's still injured is he not? :roll: :lol:

Wasn't Justin touted as the next best full back in English football when he ''burst'' onto the scene?

What did he do aside be part of that 5-1 team at Spurs?


Regarding the game, we'll either win 4 or 6-0 or lose 1-0. :roll:

Arsène Wenger reported the following team news ahead of the Swansea game:

on the team news...
We have Diaby and Wilshere (both ankle) out. Vermaelen has had his surgery, which went well. So there are three players out there. The other one who may not be available is Rosicky, who came back with a kick on his knee. We'll see how he is tomorrow morning.

on Jack Wilshere's injury...
He has an inflamed bone. He will be one month in a boot and we'll see how he responds after that. We have got the best specialists in the world to assess his case because it is an unusual one. He said he felt it the first time for England against Switzerland, although he did suffer from a similar problem years ago. He thought it would go away but when he came back in pre-season it became slowly more painful again. It got to the stage at Emirates Cup where we had to stop him.

on Kieran Gibbs and Theo Walcott...
Kieran is back. Theo has been working hard and is fit. All the others players came back from international duty in good shape. Everyone else is available. Emmanuel Frimpong is back too.

on suspensions and other availabilities...
Santos is a bit short because he has not had competition since the Copa America. He is practicing well though. We also have Gervinho and Song suspended but it is their last game out from the Newcastle match. Jenkinson is suspended as well after two yellow cards at Manchester United. Squillaci (calf) is not back yet.

So it looks like Gibbs will start at left-back.

Mertesacker will prove that he left his "clean style" in Germany, and that he is no worse than anyone we have now and can also get red cards 8)

I'm actually dreading this game. I don't think we will win, and there will be a lot of very pissed off people in the stadium (me included) and it's likely to involve a lot of swearing, booing and gooners having a pop at each other.

I'll have to drink a lot! :barscarf:

Very true. You have to take points off the teams that'll be around you come the end of season run in. This match is a "six pointer" :o

I'm thinking of playing Kieran Gibbs injury bingo for tomorrow. I predict he'll go off after 27 minutes with a calf strain.

As for the game, we'll win comfortably, red action will sung one ARSENE Wenger and I'll feel like stabbing them for doing so. Yep fear and loathing is back for another Saturday afternoon at the concrete bowl.
