Ohh, Watford playing without a keeper. Probably still struggle though

WWTC

I really hope we smash that foul mouthed Deeney today!

Donald\'s Trump

Hmmm. I’m guessing he is resting some players for Milan but really need to return to winning ways in the league. Burnley are right behind us.

Ashking

Wilshere should have started

Shank

For the lamb of Jaysus

Gudang Bedil

Wow clearly Wenger is focusing most of his sauad’s strength for the last possible chance of Champions League football.

Many players from last match replaced.

Kingsley

Kos can’t play 2 games that close together because of his Achilles. Ramsey has just returned, so we probably want to spare his dodgy hamstrings.

Not sure what’s up with Wilshere though.

Michael Bolton Wanderers

He’s not signing dat thing

Yellow Ribbon

No! Probably the same reason. Doesn’t want to play him and take a risk.

PBM

He looked out on his feet on Thursday night…needs rest

el+nino

Koala snatch to bang one in 8/1. then kick troy in his vagina. Boom fuck yea

Anonymarse

I’m pretty sure he doesn’t have a vagina

I hope not anyway …

Yellow Ribbon

Gross to even think about it. Jeez.

Paul

He may not have one but he is a cunt. Imho.

I AM ARSENAL

Mustafi and Holding……..Should not make a chill run down my back…Please guys prove me wrong.

Yellow Ribbon

The Premier League doesn’t matter anymore. Does it?

Rhaatid

Wow an all english out field substitution bench. Coyg!

Michael Bolton Wanderers

Holding, elneny and iwobi in the starting eleven does not boost my confidence. Mkhytarian, ozil and aubemyang gives me confidence enough that I think we will beat Watford. Let’s score some nice goals and wipe that smirk off deeneys face

Runzac

Don’t care now if we end up ninth in the league as long as we win the euro league. Makes total sense to rest Kos and Ramsey.

Drew Dewsall

Good to see Holding back in the first team. He will give that muppet a good going over.

Nikhil

I know it’s strong wishful thinking, but I hope we absolutely maul them and Deeney is asked after the match how it felt.

Shitbird

Beyond its general effect on morale this game means fuck all, unless you as a fan care what this Deeney Balls Guy thinks about your team.

Jimbo Jones

Every game matters. We want to finish as high in the league as possible and show no marks like Watford and that ugly troll Deeney what Arsenal is about. Have some pride, how are players from all the corners of the earth meant to know what our club is about when we have fans like you?

PersonFace

Incredibly important game in terms of establishing that the Milan game wasn’t just a one off, but a sign of a team getting its shit together after some really tough times. Come on you reds, lets put in another proper Arsenal performance.

shokim

Wonderful header from Mustafi to score that important first goal! COYG

Qwekumalhi

Cech SAVES a penalty in Arsenal colours from ball-less Deeney!

Piesporterfootie

Sweet revenge. I hope they interview Deeney after
