I like the look of the bench today.
Best bench since the invincibles?
Pure fire. Let’s hope some of them get on before 87 mins!
That bench is sick!
Where’s Chambers and Gibbs?
I wondered that. Not even on the bench. Guess they must be getting rested.
Both sick, I believe.
Literally salivating for Ozil’s return…
Good bench though.
OOOOO wenger’s starting ospina. Shit’s about to get real
Szcz’s daddy will be going fucking mental! I just hope Ospina doesn’t give him any more ammo…
Szczesny must be copping so much stick from everyone else in the dressing room right now. We all get embarrassed by our parents now and then, but having that embarrassment made so public must make it about 10 times worse.
As much as I think Szcz needs this break, I think he’ll be better for it
Good to see The Coq nailing that place down.
I’m really happy that Le Coq is starting over Flamini today. He deserves it.
I think Monreal did really well in the aerial challenges today.
No Chambers or gibbs?
3-0 by halftime and Ozil, Walcott and Ramsey get decent runs-in!
COspina>sczz
Ospina starting is unexpected. The way Wenger was talking at the press conference I was sure he was going to stick with the Pole.
We will miss gibbs and welbeck but there is a spark in todays line up lets just make sure a.w gets it right and win hughes coyg
Big game for ospina. He was brilliant for Colombia in the World Cup. Can he cement his place ?

Nice one, Herv!
Good call.
Getting close to seeing our best 11 starting. Goooooners!!
Best starting 11 I mean. Whoops. That’s before I’ve even started on the beer. Goooooners!!
COYGquelin!
i just realized Coq sounds like Cock. My God!
Ooooooospina!
Love it when we do that for goal kicks. Good luck to him. If he does well against the rugby lot, we can potentially remove the question mark about being bullied.
COME ON YOU RIP ROARING REDDDDSSSS. Let smash some orcs.
I love Le Coq
I think we’ll get the points today .
When Welbeck joins, City will have a game on their hands next week. The team is looking good already. Wonder what would have been if we had the compliment of all these boys all season. Redemption time!
Let’s hammer this disgusting bunch of skanks and send them back to their grey existence in the nether regions of the N Midlands with their tails between their legs. Hopefully, Sanchez will make Shawcross look a complete dick (well – more of one, anyway). This being Arsenal, nothing will ever be simple, of course..
Only 1 19yr old on the bench?? Can’t remember the last time we had this much talent raring to go from the bench! That starting 11 isn’t looking shabby at all either.
Love to see Tomas starting. On Little Mozart!!!! COYG!
I can’t believe a single yellow hasn’t been handed out yet! On second thought, same as it ever was.
