Let’s fucking go boys.

alex

Chambers not 100% or Bellerin just selected ahead of him?

SubP

Chambers is primarily backup CB now.

spinner

Bellerin is a better left back than Chambers imo.

spinner

*right back even!

Gooneron

You meant Right Back, right?

GoonerN16

The latter, Bellerin has pace Chambers not so much….

Crew

Good to see the Coq keeping his place. Good lineup.

David

agree, best we can put out there today. Can’t wait for Welbeck to get back too.

goonerama

Ozil Walcott rosicky. Zzzzzz

GoonerN16

Rosicky is on the bench, keep up…

Gooneron

My chest is thumping. Three points please.

Crispy

So’s mine but I’d be happy if we don’t mauled again and come away with a point.

LKoscielny6

Good looking lineup with good options on the bench

Paul

Happy with the lineup COYG!

TR7 > CR7

Hmmm, Bellerin over Chambers, looks like old Timmy Stillman knows his stuff.

Mexican

Greatest name ever. I call him TR7 too.

DontForget

The lineup I dreamt of.

Ancient Gooner

THAT’S TWO OF US, THEN. VERY STRONG SIDE. SORRY ABOUT MY CAPS LOCK 🙂

12th Man in The Clockend

Ramsey straight in? I love the Welsh Jesus – but worried about him starting. Has Rosicky got a knock? Silly question – of course Rosicky has got a knock. ‘2 weeks away’ lol. 1 Arsene Wenger. We love you Arsenal!

Dylan

He was fit for last week’s game, 1 week extra fitness would have done him good too. I think he’ll be fine. COYG

enoupee

Rosicky on the bench. What?

Charlie Lane

I think it’s fair Bellerin starts ahead of Chambers today, Bellerin has been fantastic recently, ovbs against weaker opposition but has been top notch getting forward and looked disciplined defensively

o2ba

Badly need the points. COYG

happy gunner

Please for the love of god Sanchez , please please please play like your life depends on it.

If we win, I will tattoo every arsenal players name on my dick.

Yes its that big.

Dylan

But he plays like that every game…

mikeypoo

Can’t beat a bit of coq on cock action

rossi88

Lmao…….fairplay! Bellerin pace is needed, navas has played well against us in past. I really feel we can win this game. They just have to believe.

this aint FIFA bitches

Well Navas will be up against Monreal most of the game

and

Hahaha Mate!! remember your words cause arsenal is going to win here

Tom

Keep your word man!

Ozil'seyedoctor

Time for the trip to the tattoo parlour Happy Gunner. Pictures or it didn’t happen.

arsepedant

Want to see some proof now!

Chaplin35

3pm and blood pressure just went sky high cause it’s only an hour to the kick off. #COYG

Dale Cooper

Man, other than defenders, we’re pretty spoilt for choice. Look at that line-up and bench, and there’s still quite a few players out injured.

COYG.

Paul

If it doesn’t work out can we have subs before 70mins please? Amazing bench!

Deano

Need a good solid start. Strong side and some real class on the bench COYG!!!!!!!

Der Springer

Only change I would make is Rosicky instead of Ramsey. Come on Arsenal.

rch

The only time we have played with any pace was last week with Rosicky playing bad move but Wenger has his favourites.Does not deserve not to be in 1st eleven

Nordin

I really hoping to see Ozil get more minutes than he did last week….probably in place of Rambo. Walcott can cover for Alex, in case he doesnt perform or injured. Bellerin has performed well on the right side much better than Chambers. And he is defintely much faster in terms of recovery run back. So yes thumbs up for the selection. Monreal is undervalue but is of good value. Much safer than Gibbs in my opinion. As for Ospina…no doubts of his quality there. Has performed well in all his outings so far. No hanky-panky. No irresponsibe runs out of… Read more »

So freakin nervous. Happy that Bellerin’s been given the nod. He has earned it. Though it’s probably to use Chambers as a back up CB if something, God forbid, happens to Kos/Mert. Hope the Coq stands toe to toe with all Fernandos. Zabaleta, Silva, Aguero, Navas, that’s lots of creativity even without Toure.

I am guessing Milner’s starting as a running marker for Sanchez.

kebabsmasher

Come on Arsenal smash the $hitty €ity.

Zelalem

WHY ISNT SANOGO STARTING?!? IM OUT FFS

Tom thumb

I agree,and that alexis guy is starting he’s rubbish

Dylan

This Scouser came into mind.

Abzey

Ospina and Coquelin will give us a clean sheet hopefully. Ozil on at half-time!

Bobs

would take a draw imo.

I only want to be called simon

Good team and a great bench…..no more fucking injuries please….shame cashri ain’t playing….I love shouting obscenities at the twat

GoonerN16

Pleased Ospina kept his place…….. calmer, better timing, more controlled…

goonerbiker

Navas and zabilatta vs monreal. Is no one else worried?

this aint FIFA bitches

Don’t Worry Zabaleta will be too busy trying to keep up with the tireless Sanchez.

Crispy

We’re fucked but I’ll still watch the nightmare unfold…..

Jozzer

Ha!

Crispy

I’m so glad that made me look like a twat !

arsepedant

Right fucking ray of sunshine, aren’t you, sport? You must be devastated that we won.

Crispy

See my comment above you prick.

Danny

Please can someone tell Ramsey to stay in his position rather than open our defense for the sake of looking for goals

mo974

it’s a gamble to play ramsey in this kind of game straight on. the coq and flamini to protect the defense. cause ramsey pushes forward too much and will leave the coq alone against the fernandihno’s. COYG!

this aint FIFA bitches

Fernando & Fernandinho offer little going forward so not worried there. The main thing will be marking Silva out of the game, hopefully this is Coquelin’s job which will mean that Ramsey has to be more defensive minded than usual.

wengeryears series finale pt1

I hope there won’t be an arseblog meltdown after the match. wetin are going to lose this match.I hope I’m wrong.my point being our away form against the top clubs isn’t going to change today.
pound for pound city have better better players than us. can ramsey, bellerin, coq, ox, even make the city bench.
thankfully, this is our last tough away match.I think our push for a top 3 finish really starts after today.

Jozzer

Keep your inane opinions to yourself mate.

Stephen

Worried about the inexperience of Bellerin and Coq against some of the world’s finest. However, I also am excited to see Giroud, Sanchez and Cazorla work some magic. 5 goal thriller?

Bashayi

I wish Rosicky was in the first team. Rambo is OK. Let’s go get the three points.

wengeryears series finale pt1
