It’s Premier League action tonight and we face West Brom in a game that could move us up into third place ahead of Manchester City.
Arsene Wenger has made some changes. Here are the official line-ups.
Arsenal: Cech, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Elneny, Ramsey, Ozil, Alexis, Iwobi, Giroud
Subs: Ospina, Chambers, Gabriel, Walcott, Welbeck, Coquelin, Campbell
West Brom: Foster; Chester, Yacob, Evans, McClean, Berahino, McAuley, Fletcher, Dawson, Sessegnon, Sandro
Subs: Myhill; Olsson, Gardner, Anichebe, McManaman, Rondon, Leko
COYR!
I think we will win tonight but why play Ramsey in the middle.
Ramsey and Elneny haven’t started together yet, might as well try. Should be better offensively and in ball control than the Coquelny but will see how they do defensively. Could work well as Ramsey played his best season with Arteta in the DM role and Elneny is a similar type of player.
I’d argue he’s doing it more for rotational reasons. I can see Ramsey gradually slipping away from the starting 11 over the next couple of seasons. For me, Ramsey’s flaws outweigh his strengths.
I’m not a Ramsey basher; in my opinion he’s far from our worst player, but he falls short of being anything more than a cup rotation or bench player at a title-winning club. And that’s coming from a Welshman.
We should probably sell Ramsey in the summer, he doesn’t fit our game.
Considering we are a team without a proper identity at the moment, you have no reason to say that. I think Wenger wants to make Arsenal a pressing team with quick strikers, and Ramsey would fit very well there. Not sure what you’re on about.
That’s what we need to be for sure …
You, sir, are wrong.
Who fits then?
Cazorla?
Bit of pride fellas! COYG
Another dull and tepid match. I’m at home and will hear the scores later. Can’t bother watching.
And yet you can bother coming on here and commenting.
Some fans are just wayyyy too negative. I always fear home games more than away games because of the hostile atmosphere we create not for the away team but for our own players.
Really? I’m at the beauty parlor getting my Brazilian. Will hear screams later. Can’t dare watching.
Thanks for your input Teez! 🙂
Come on Elsey!
No matter what happens I will support Arsenal on any match day!

I know it’s not of huge deal, but well done to ‘Ector for getting into the PFA team of the year. He’s maybe gone off the boil a smidgen lately, but he’s been one of the few that’s really consistently performed for us this season. Well deserved.
(The rest of the PFA team is of course a crock of shite that shows what a meaningless platitude it is for every position other than right back.)
This is what the team looks like when doves cry….(really trying hard to work in a Prince reference)
For all who don’t know yet, because the man has passed. First Bowie, now Prince. 2016 is not off to the best of starts in many ways!
Let’s party like it’s 199…..8?
I’m going to party like it cost £19.99
Tinkering in the wrong area… Welbeck hasn’t been bad but I suppose now Ramsey has an excuse to be in the opposition Box when we’re conceding in the other end!
COYG, FOYS
I just wish we could have subs before 70 minutes so if this starting line-up doesn’t work, (yes I am looking at you Rambo) we can change things early enough.
Maybe I’m a dreamer…am I the only one?
COYG!
Please do not bring on Walcott.
Please give Campbell a chance
All we are saying
Get Joel out while you can.
Outside the stadium filling up on nicotine. Really had to drag myself here. Tubes just horrendous… Feels like a museum crowd not the usual pre match buzz. Dread what it will be like if we go behind or equalise. Times like this you need reliability and professionalism. So Mert starting makes sense. Giroud scores more goals than Welbeck so no complaints. But why the phukking phuk is Walcott even in the stadium? (Just my opinion, but I thought the ‘Denilson years’ were behind us)
What was Walcott done to win a place on the bench? He should even be near a football pitch.
*has
So Arsene reads Arseblog??!
Oh dear!
Come on boys! Let’s fight this tooth and nail! #COYG
I can see why Per has come in. I really think Joel should be given a chance in the starting lineup!
As always – COYG
Let’s fucking put 6 past them. COYG
Iwobi is the highlight of this sorry season
I like how the commentator can’t stop jerking off to Leicester every now and then.
