In addition to being our best player this season, Koscielny (aside from one or two games last season) has stayed fit too.
It's quite the achievement to be a regular player for Arsenal and stay fit for extended periods, so well done Koscielny.
Song is the only other regular to survive life-threatening "two to three weeks out" warnings, but has still had periods of injury. Actually, Arshavin too, but he might as well have been on the treatment table.
Arsenal: where you go to become a crock.

Not sure if thats just piss poor WUMming or brilliant WUMmingQuote:

Lawro being positive in terms of ArsenalQuote:
In years gone by, I would have been much more confident of Manchester United going to the Emirates Stadium and not being beaten.
I think they will be very much thinking that they need to avoid defeat rather than going for a win - Sir Alex Ferguson plays 4-3-3 wherever possible but they will probably be more like 4-5-1 here.
Ferguson recognises that, sometimes, you have to settle for a draw against the other big teams and I think he will be of the opinion that 'we don't get beat'.
After last week's defeat by Swansea, and the way they conceded goals in Wales, I think Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will be thinking the same.
Both sides have got defensive problems but I've got a funny feeling that this might end up being nil-nil, although that doesn't happen often with either of these sides.
There definitely won't be 10 goals in this game, like there were at Old Trafford in August. I was at that game and it was a one-off - it was never an 8-2.
That was an Arsenal team which was absolutely at their lowest point of the season and they have got much stronger since then. United, you would argue, haven't - they have got weaker.
Prediction 0-0
Uh oh, making stuff up to try to prove a pointless point. You're naughty. I said Jenks did brilliantly as an inexperienced kid thrown in at the deep end. And he did. I also said he was a better winger than Walcott and obviously that's true, even though he's never played there.Quote:

Maybe because TV's season is injury disrputed again, maybe because Merts is settling in, maybe because all our fullbacks are dead. But even so, he's put in a string of solid performances and given 100% every match. Can't ask for more, he's done exceptionally well especially when compared to last season.
Agree with the tosser for once. I have a feeling it will be a horribly dull 0-0 with nothing happening in the whole game except Rooney mouthing off to the ref from the first minute right through to the 112th.Quote:

Reminds me of the game at Highbury back in January 2006. We had injuries galore, Cygan due to play at left back up against Ronaldo. Everyone on 606 thought we'd be lambs to the slaughter.
Ended 0-0. Ronaldo kept firmly in Cygans pocket, something he never recovered from til he joined Real Madrid and became the best player in the world. Cygan who was the Kos of that year gained legendary status and the rest as they say is history
No chance we will keep a clean sheet in this game. Their defense is so bad that if our creative players are on any kind of form we should be able to score as well.
Whoever gets the first goal will win this.
