Arsenal Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2015/16 ( Mod Note linked in OP 29/12)

I reckon City will score but I am confident that we will score more.
Ramsey playing centrally has added to our goal threat, 2 in his last 2 games.
I do have a bit of concern about Flamini's defensive discipline which is added to when I think about our 1 v 1 draw with City at The Emirates a couple of years ago ... Our scorer that day, a tap in on the line by Matthieu Flamini. Le Coq would never even be in that position.
I think that the mentality that Cech has brought will be important tonight and I am going for 2 v 1 to The Arsenal.

he trained yesterday, so I'd expect to see him on the bench - fingers crossed!

A beer to get through first. Hopefully shes asleep by then and i can go grab the mascot. But the whiskey and beer will be done

Was hoping for an hours kip before but the excitement is too much

The mascot?

Jaysus never been so apprehensive about a game in a long time. I just want us to send out a strong message tonight and stand up and be counted.....COYG.

Hope we dont risk Sanchez, put him on bench and see how we are with 25mins left.

Is that a euphemism for choking the chicken? I'm excited too, but that's a bit extreme!

Cech, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Ramsey, Flamini, Walcott, Ozil, Campbell, Giroud.

Arsenal XI

Hmmm no mention on if Sanchez makes the bench even?

He doesn't

S*ite so it's probably our usual bench of 5 defenders so Ospina, Gibbs, Gabriel, Ox, Chambers, Iwobi & Adelaide. We're so light on the bench, hope we aren't chasing the game at any stage

Better off in the long run, don't want him rushed back with so many fixtures coming up.

True I suppose, the fixtures are heavy over the festive period alright. Just a pity it's City tonight that he is missing. Better off in the long run though you're right no doubt.
