I am not sure now, should I feel sorry for you or Wenger. NQ :rose:Quote:

1-2 Arsenal. :scarf:
0-2
Gervinho to rip them up.
And score a few goals.
Theo to continue his CL scoring run too.
1-3.

Sjehdfskjfhdskjfhny

Arteta Song Frimpong
Walcott RVP Arshavin
Id play Gervinho. No need for two midfield destroyers.
If Frimpong and Song have learnt how to play together that'd be a reasonable idea in what could be a tricky game but memories of that first half against Udinese makes me think we'd be better off bring Benayoun into the middle or going 4-4-2 whilst bring in Ju or maybe shunting Theo up front and playing Gervinho-Arsh on the wings with Arts-Song holding the middle.
Looking forward to seeing Dortmund play, heard a lot about their success last year.
Pretty good on FIFA as well tbh.
Im just going by what i think Wenger will do.
That isnt the team i would play.
What i would do is
Sdsfjskdjfhsdkjfny
Sagna Per Miquel Santos
Arteta Song Gervinho
Arshavin
Theo RVP
If this was last year then so would i but they have been shit this year tbhQuote:

Eighteen players have travelled to Dortmund including new signings Mikel Arteta, Per Mertesacker, Yossi Benayoun, Andre Santos and Ju Young Park.
Arsenal squad (in alphabetical order):
Andrey Arshavin
Mikel Arteta
Yossi Benayoun
Marouane Chamakh
Johan Djourou
Gervinho
Kieran Gibbs
Lukasz Fabianski
Emmanuel Frimpong
Laurent Koscielny
Per Mertesacker
Ju Young Park
Andre Santos
Bacary Sagna
Alex Song
Wojciech Szczesny
Robin van Persie
Theo Walcott
Play Arshavin behind the front man.
I thought Wenger would go for two defensive midfielders in the centre anyway, so it won't make too much difference.
It should give us more protection against a very good team and allow Arteta to be a bit more free in providing for the front three. Theo and Gervo should be perfect if we're playing more on the counter-attack.
We don't have many options off the bench though, with four CMs out.
it's good cause ramsey has been pants of latelyQuote:

Although, Wenger would likely start with PingPong or lesbo jew instead of fatty. :coffee:
Yossi could play in behind RVP if Arteta and Song hold. Might work.
I dont know man, Benayoun is poor man Hleb.. not convincing at all. Best if he stays on the bench, stick to his tax papers. :coffee:Quote:

He's much more productive than Hleb ever was.
Yep, my only concern with that is having Yossi & Arteta in midfield might make us a little bit too "tackle shy". Saying that, I'm not overly keen on seeing Frimpong & Song together, they are both way too sloppy off & on the ball.Quote:

I agree, he was decent pre-Chelsea, if he can recapture that form then he'll probably be a regular starter for us. I quite like him as a player.Quote:

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has been ruled out of Tuesday's Champions League match at Borussia Dortmund after injuring his ankle in training.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger revealed the 20-year-old Wales international limped out of training on Monday ahead of the team's flight to Germany.
It deprives Arsenal of another first-choice midfielder, with Jack Wilshere also sidelined with an ankle problem.
Ramsey was out for nine months after breaking his leg in February 2010.
He suffered fractures to the tibia and fibula of his right leg following a tackle by Stoke's Ryan Shawcross during a Premier League game at the Britannia Stadium.
However, having spent loan spells with Nottingham Forest and former club Cardiff City, he declared himself fully fit and hopeful of a positive season.

Ramsey has started all six of Arsenal's matches so far this season, including their first Premier League victory of the campaign, Saturday's 1-0 win over Swansea at Emirates Stadium.
New midfield recruits Mikel Arteta and Yossi Benayoun made their Gunners debuts at the weekend and both are included in the 18-man squad for Tuesday's match.
Alex Song and Emmanuel Frimpong provide alternative options in central midfield for Wenger.
The Gunners boss is hoping his team can build on their 1-0 win over Swansea in the Premier League on Saturday, but is expecting a tough test against the Bundesliga champions.
"I have a lot of respect for the team," said Wenger of Dortmund. "They play very fast, very offence very similar to Arsenal.

Dortmund can approach the group stage without too much pressure to succeed
Read Raphael's column
"It will be a good match. We will play offensively, they will play offensively so it will be a very attractive match.
"Dortmund have very good technical qualities, they are well organised. Although they have not started the season well, they will be confident for the match and they will give everything in the first 20 minutes.
"For us, it is important to get consistency because that is the first sign of quality for a team. Therefore, it is just adding results to results and that is what we are striving for."
Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp does not believe Wenger's touchline man is an advantage for his team, who are returning to the Champions League for the first time since March 2003.
"I am not sure whether it will be important that he is on the touchline," said Klopp.
"It would be better if maybe Robin van Persie, Theo Walcott or Gervinho wouldn't be on the pitch and play."
Arsenal (from): Szczesny, Fabianski, Sagna, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Djourou, Gibbs, Santos, Song, Frimpong, Arshavin, Walcott, Arteta, Benayoun, Gervinho, Park, Chamakh, Van Persie
---------------Szczesny---------------
Sagna--Koscielny---Mertesacker--Santos
Walcott---Song---Arteta---Benayoun
---------Gervinho---Van Persie--------
In my fucking opinion.
