We are doing this

True indeed. I hope Rosicky gets a run out if things don't click in the middle. I think he's vital to our squad and turned our season around last year when he started getting games.

im actually excited about this front three...at last Wenger manages again....thank you!

Is this walcotts best chance to put himself in the shop window tonight?

fraudthorla looks a bit cold there.

Come on Arsenal.

neville thinks Arsenal will win. :lol:

Fuck off tyler as if you give a shit about Arsenal fans! ****!

Oxocube shot saved by Federici.

Good counter-attack though.

Arteta :doh:

Ox :bow:

Thats what we need. His pace and quick tempo and Federer makes a good save

Terrible pass from Gibbs.

Too slow.

No width there :doh:

Theo shoots wide from the FK

Theo freekick, not curled that far wide I suppose.

Arteta has given the ball away yet again

Arsenal defending :lol:

How did Reading balls that up? Pog could easily could've struck on goal.

Terrible defending from us

fraudthorla :lol:
