They don't play wingers and they knew our best chance was out wide. They re-laid the sides recently and it'll be a shithole out wide.

Maybe if (IF!) true, the thinking behind not starting Oxlade is that it might be unplayable for wingers. If someone gets injured the same way Mertesacker did, Wenger's going to go nuts. And he'll be laughed off by Arsenal fans and the media for it.

5live's programme starts at 7pm. Might as well listen to that before ITV1's programme starts half an hour later.

Ah ok. Yeah it does seem odd relaying just the wide areas of the pitch. After Lennon fucked them up last year they're probably wary of our pub team sprinter now.

So predictions then? I'm going for 1-1.

It is indeed Rosicky who starts ahead of Oxlade. (http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionslea...&match=2007669)

Other than that, it's as expected with Gibbs at LB and Vermaelen in the centre.

Predictions? 2-0 Milan now. They've unfairly nullified our main threat through Stoke-ish actions you simply wouldn't expect from a club with the history of Milan. Pathetic. Victory for good if we get anything from this.

Interesting choice of Rosicky in the front 3...unless we plan on making it more of a 5 in midfield.

Hope Gibbs does ok although he will probably go off after 3 minutes with a broken toe or some shit like that.

Seedorf is captaining AC. :bow:

Song needs to scrote Van Bommel early and let him know whos boss.

The ref will send Van Persie off for that.

I don't understand why Milan don't just remove the studs from Szczesny's boots.

WUMger :bow:.

Well I'm off to watch the build up and eat KFC.

Come on you Gunners!! :scarf:
