Arsenal v Southampton, 18:00 GMT (16/12, Amazon Prime)

Just seen on the Skysports website that Arteta is backing Zhaka so it looks like we're stuck with him https://www.skysports.com/football/n...nals-poor-form

This is it: "For sure Granit is one of them for the way that he approaches every training session, the way he wants to do everything the right way and the professional that he is."

that's the proof of what i;ve said all along - Xhaka gets picked every week for being a teacher's pet - now that he's losing people like Luiz, Arteta can't afford to criticise him or lose his support

how many players must be pissed off with Arteta now? Ozil, Nelson, Pepe, Saliba, other young players who can't get a game even though Xhaka and WIllian stink out the pitch week after week

So basically Zhake can do anything he wants apart from killing someone (and he would probably try and pass that one off as well).

yeah i'm sure if he killed someone he'd do it professionally and in the 'right way'...

Arsenal: Leno, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney, Maitland-Niles, Ceballos, Elneny Saka, Pepe, Nketiah, Aubameyang.
Subs: Runarsson, Cedric, David Luiz, Mustafi, Willock, Willian, Lacazette.

[Marc Overmars]

No Willian or Lacashite

[Mac76]

I'd rather Balogun than Eddie but apart from that it's not bad

[Globalgunner]

What happened to Bellend or did he make foul throws in training too?

Ok. Suspended I hear. Hopefully from the top of the Shard, upside down

Here we go.

Tyldesley and Townsend commentating.

I'm a little bit nostalgic.
