Evans, by their standard, is a miss. Sanogo has scored more goals than Falcao this season and Smalling is Smalling. They're in good shape. The media has set this up so if they lose it was because of a supposedly weakened team and if we lose then we lost to a supposedly weakened team. Mind you, if we lose then we deserve all the flak that will be coming our way. If we lose we'll be below the worst Utd side I can recall.

It's beyond belief is what it is. Something seriously wrong somewhere.

That's no surprise in this instance, of course Theo will probably get 290284848 tight groins for us though.

Nothing like an injection of positivity hey! :d

Tbh that rancid record should go further back and include 2008 when we lost twice and drew once.

Did the double over them in 2007 though. Henry. :cloud9:

Did we win? :unsure:

We better be winning 4-0 or I'm putting Strictly on tbfh.

Wenfer will almost certainly go with the tried and tested and 100% proven Monreal at CB, Chambers at RB and Flamini on the pitch. So this will likely be a 2-2.

If he somehow develops a sane streak and plays a more balanced and positive team, we could get a win if Sanchez and Ox continue their recent form.

WUMger gonna WUMger though.

Strictly it is.

Not a strictly fan to be honest


Nothing wrong with it, it's certainly comparatively more high brow than most of the other Saturday night shite, all of it looks incredibly hard to learn and I'm sure when it comes off, it comes off well just not remotely interested

Big fan of Strictly me.

Draw. Nailed on.

No tightness there. Sadly.

I'm going to take a guess at picking the line up

Szczesny
Chambers
Mertesacker
Monreal
Gibbs
Arteta
Ramsey
Wilshere
Cazorla
Ox
Welbeck

Subs:
Giroud
Sanchez (if not fit Podolski)
Sanogo
Rosicky
Flamini
Bellerin
Martinez



What I'd have

Szczesny
Bellerin
Chambers
Mertesacker
Gibbs
Arteta
Wilshere
Sanchez (Campbell if he's not fit)
Rosicky
Ox
Welbeck

On one hand I can see Van Gaals thinking in that he has opted for the most experience down the flanks where most of our pace attacks will come from, rather than trying to put Smalling in at centre back, but two against three in the midfield could be a mismatch unless he's banking that either Ramsey or Wilshere will drift wide to protect Chambers against Di Maria

The genius (Wenger) strikes again. Who would have thought that the same team that was shit in the last 2 games would be picked again.

We'll cement our Forever Fourth credentials with a win here; seems the likely result in that case.

We didn't have Wheelchair for those games tbf and Arteta went off injured in the previous one.

I just don't think we're going to 'play well' whatever team we pick.

When I look at the back 4. All I see is the same team. its beyond stupidity.

Not sure I'd trust Bellerin much more than Chambers against Di Maria

The sensible thing to do would be to stop the full backs bombing forward (shaw and smalling wont be getting forward much) and focus on stopping crosses coming in Rooney and Van Persie will have the beating of Monreal in the air all day long.

Arteta and Wilshere were the reasonable midfield choices, I'd have personally picked Rosicky over Ramsey because Ramsey is playing and acting like a cunt.

When was Jamie Redknapp a striker?

Sky Sports Drone. :haha:

Jamie Redknapp was still playing the last time I watched pre match build up and post match analysis.

COYG

Our best chance of winning come from Fellaini's elbows, if they are noticed.

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

Oh FFS Gary Neville co-commentating.

FUCK VAN CUNT

What ref have the FA chosen to stitch us up this time then?

AND ITS LIVE

And its fucking Mike Dean, FFS

Shaw. :lol:
