Big opportunity for Coquelin, would probably have gone with Podolski myself but obvious that Wengers trying to keep a clean sheet. COYG
Coquelin and Flamini are playing. ? 2 red cards you reckon?
Podolski can now leave Arsenal.
i hate this lineup
Anyone know when Coquelin last started a prem game? must have been ages ago.
Hope coq does well, it’s a big chance for him to prove himself to arsene.
Wow not what I was expecting but coyg!!!
What devilry is this? Our Coq through the middle? Get in
Wonder where rosicky is btw
probalby not fit enough to play 2 games without proper rest!?
What’s all this hate towards the coq? Arsene not only has bigger balls then you, but his coq will wipe fat sam’s team out of the way. You heard it here first. Go coq.
#PlayPoldi
If Poldi leaves in January then Wenger might buy a replacement (lol) #shinynewtoys #transfers>actualfootball #idiotfans #satire #aha
Hoping we ain’t gambling Kos on this game. Need him fit for the FA Cup.
Will Walcott ever play?
Weird.
Is this a good time to remind everyone, we could have had Cesc….?
Oh can we give it a rest already…
Strong bench ! COYG!
Thumbs up for your nickname!
Put Poldi on wings and put Ox in cm with Flamini. How hard it is??
COYG no tacky bubbles!
If I were Podolski, I would definitly leave in January as the time is flying…29 years old is closer to the end than…
It’s obvious he doesn’t get trust from M.Wenger …fair enough…it’s time to seek for a team where he can play often and enjoy his passion ! This player is so good to watch !
Poldi must have done something really bad like shagged Wengers daughter at last years Christmas party to be exiled like this. #somerealbadfuckingkarma
We had better be taking alexis off around 60 minute or so. That poor bastard needs to rest some time, we are over playing him.
I’d have started Campbell and podolski today, keep the firepower on the bench.
The fact we have Coquelin in our starting midfield is laughable.
It really isn’t, he’s not world class but he’s a solid, reliable player.
Once again Wenger shows the world why he is inept at tactics, no good at formation, Walcott on the bench, what a clown, he really has gone past his best before date
What are you doing starting this Summer?
Might we be able to hire you?
I can’t tell if you’re a shit Arsenal/football fan or a terrible spud troll.
Being ironic (I hope…).
Walcott isn’t fit.
Get in 3 points against fat sam. Have a bit of that. Had my doubts because of short break. Good stuff!!!!
Oi west ham give it back last 10 mins glad arsenal fc got the two goals first half and to see welbeck back on goal sheet plus santa cazorla santi 3 pts then coyg
Kos da boss! And Coq was tireless, always good to see our quick counter attacking play supplemented by a combination of calm and gritty defending, kindda prefer this quick counter attacking version of arsenal, ala Dortmund in their prime, immense 3 points nonetheless!
