Fulham are extremely shit, extremely old and extremely leaky. We should smash them, if we play professionally and not become lazy and sloppy as we did against Villa.
Injuries are mounting again, with Rosicky and Monreal probably out for the season on top of Diaby, Walcott and Sanogo. Hopefully Arteta, Ramsey and Vermaelen will be back though.
Szczesny
Sagna
Mertesacker
Koscielny
Gibbs
Flamini/Arteta
Wilshere
Cazorla/Ozil
Gnabry
Giroud
Podolski
2-0 (Giroud, Podolski).
Come on you Arsnil.

Rosicky will be fine, he can play with a faceguard, even if it does look ridiculous.
Suspected that Monreal has broken his metatarsal. Six weeks out if so.
He kicked his foot into Vlaar when he went for the shot. Could be metatarsal damage.Quote:

Metatarsel for Monreal according to Wenger - but not confirmed. Rosicky is just a broken nose, a non-head injury that was not an elbow in the face. Diaby still has his game to come. Sanogo is out for 3 seasons with a missing leg with no guarantee it will grow back. Plus we have Park who can play there.
If Hull can put 6 past this lot then I'm pretty sure we can too.
But we'll probably blitz them early on and play the rest of the match on auto pilot.
3-0.
Us scoring 3 at home. :lol:
If Pods doesn't start this game, think he'll be off in the summer. Not sure why Wenger didn't bring him on earlier the other day when we were coasting:

I think Wenger has been as open as he can about Podolski.Quote:

He's not really been 100% since he got here.
Can you provide evidence of this?Quote:

I think he just doesn't like him as a player. We've tried Cazorla, Wilshere, Rosicky, Ozil but everyone has been cack on the left wing, on the right they've been fine. Should give Podolski a go until the hour mark.Quote:

5-0
--------------Szczesny--------------
Sagna----Merkyl-------KOS-----Gibbs
--------Arteta-------Wilshere--------
Gnabry---------Ozil-----------Cazorla
-----------Olivier Giroud--------------
Easy 3 points - so we may struggle.
2-0
Agree with NQ. Will probably score in 34th minute then sit back & make Fulham look good. Merts & Kos will keep us in the game for the next 50 minutes until Giroud fumbles one in off his left bollock. 2-0
Doesn't matter. I'll take another 17 of those this season.Quote:

Great to be top when we aren't playing that well. If we hit a purple patch then despite all their billions and their disgusting attempts to buy the title, watch out gypos and chavs.Quote:

7-0.
#COYG. :scarf:
And we could do so if we were playing Fulham 17 times - unfortunatley the negative tactics against the better teams will cost us - 3 most negative perfomances in the league (Everton, Chelsea & Man Utd - 2 of these at home! ) have given us 2 points out of 9. If that continues when we play them again along with Liverpool & City games we may be looking to nick 4th again.Quote:

3-0
Ozil hattrick
Fulham are sh*t, this will be a walk in the park, easy win.
Confident about this one. We're at home, Saturday kick off....should be fine.
17-0
Twisted ligament for Monreal so is a big doubt for this one but that sounds like he won't be out for long.
Rosicky managed to break his nose in two places without getting hit in the face. If he is to be selected, he will have a protective mask on, of course.
Ramsey, Arteta and Vermaelen still out but should be back for Southampton.
Chesney
Sagan Merts Kos Gibbs
Ozil Flamini Wheelchair
Gnabbers Bif Poldi
We've got Lee Probert for this.
Not terrible but he shouldn't be out to get us. Provided there's no drama it should be a comfortable win for us.
TEAM NEWS: "Monreal and Rosicky will have a test in training today, we think that both of them will be alright"
Pod was critisized by the Germany manager for same thing, just before he joined us tbhQuote:

Gnabbers. :bow:
Podolski on the bench again? Would have thought this would be perfect for him.
Hope he does get some game time at least, he looked a bit frustrated on Monday.
Come on you Gunners!
Podolski was great when he came on against W.ham.. I dont understand what he needs to do, to start..
