Hope Rosicky isn't! He's finally putting a good run of games together for the first time since 2000. Lets not mess with that and keep playing him until he gets injured. Ramsey won't have to wait too long.

And before Arteta and Ramsey walk back in the team, I wouldn't mind trying that Oxlade in midfield experiment again. It allows him to sit back in midfield and spot who the weak link in defence is, and then he can go running at them. Last time Mesbah. This time it could be Collocini or summat.

Don't mind Gibbs if Santos Starts but we need Rosicky.

I'd rather Ramsey not start tbf, he's been pretty shit lately .

Yeah Rosicky definitely deserves to play out the remainder of the season as first choice.

Ramsey has had his moments this season but then he's also had a fair few games where he's looked out of his depth. He's not very quick so he can't turn defence into attack like Rosicky can and I don't think his passing is anywhere near as polished as one might think. Less said about the silly little flicks and backheels the better.

How lovely it is to have a game to look forward to tonight. Softens the blow of it being Monday.

Not at all lovely that we are going to fail to win. Wumger should start the ox in midfield again. That would be fun.

Theo :lol:

Will score.

First time in a while I'm expecting us to win a game.

Which means we'll probably fuck up. :rose:

Interesting.

Are you expecting a win or not?

We'll win and win Well.

Sky's programme is on in a few minutes.

Le Tiss is co-commentating again tonight. :bow:

Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Song, Arteta, Rosicky, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Van Persie

somehow I don't think he can afford to do that right now

As a great man once said,

I hope we score more goals than them.

Had Ramsey had started today, then AW really would of lost it. Thank god he's been keeping the team as it, theres been the odd game over the years where he makes so many changes in the evening kind of games, Wigan 2-2 comes to mind.

Gary Neville is having fun with the SkyPad there.

Tbf Gary is awesome as a pundit

Gervinho is suffering a little bit physically apparently. Not sure if Wenger is talking about his forehead or not though.
