Strong chance to qualify with 2 games to spare, can't remember many times that's happened for us.
Just need to win this and hope Dortmund win too.

if anyone has or knows where i can get a ticker or two for this game plz let me know, thank guys.
Seems to be loads on the ticket exchange.
Hope this game is as hilarious as the last one. If we qualify after this we're going to field some absolute filth in the last two group games. Spine will be Hayden, Coquelin and Akpom.
3-0
Sanchez hattrick
I don't want to see Sanchez on the pitch in this game, I think a) there is a real risk of him being overplayed and b) I think without him in the side other players will be less inclined to have lazy, complacent dialled in performances because there won't be the Chilean star to bail them out.
I think we should be using players like Campbell and Podolski and allowing Ramsey to play himself back to form
Should rest Sanchez for this. Despite the scare away from home, Anderlecht aren't that good and should be comfortably dispatched even with some second string players in.
My lineup:
Ches
Whoever's available in defence
Flamini
Rosicky
Santi
Campell
Podolski
Welbz
Nah, Wenget will only rest Alexis for the meaningless games, you know, like the NLD. :rolleyes:
Jack is poorly so will miss this game as well.
That'll be why he was on the BBC news in the canteen!
Probably massively hung over after another top night out.
is this a game we can afford to rest one or two (not the lot though!)?
e.g. give sanchez a breather?
I don't think we've been playing nearly well enough to justify resting anybody. Get this one done and then hopefully we can pub it for the remaining two Champions League games.
What exactly are we going to be resting Sanchez for?....our league title campaign? Just in case Chelsea banana slip their way the equivalent of a kilometre whilst somebody hijacks Mourinho, half his best players and then we can ghost into pole whilst nobody is looking?
They could probably manage themselves to the title this year.
Dortmund are doing so badly though, that I am having delusions of fitting Reus in over here. They are strangely collected in the CL though.
Id like to see Podolski start this one. But this time not with a strategy of him doing what Sanchez does, because he cant. Let Ox and Walcott fill the wings. Welbeck with Pods up top, Ramsey in the middle with Flamini in front of the back 4, who could be anyone who is fit to lace a pair of boots, So Chambers BFG at CB with Bellerin and Monreal at fullback.
If we cant beat Anderlecht with our 2nd team then we need to be put out of our misery ASAP
If we continue where we left off versus Burnley, it will be a good kicking for them.
If we start slowly, then we'll continue that way until a 5-minute surge somewhere in the game in which we'll power-play a couple in or until we pub in a late winner.
As a big Letters & the Wengerites fan, I'm naturally deluded and will go for another 4-1 after which we'll be re-confirmed as the best team in the world.
We'll annihilate them. 5-0.
Arsenal: Szczesny, Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Gibbs, Arteta, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey, Alexis, Cazorla, Welbeck.
Subs: Martinez, Bellerin, Flamini, Rosicky, Podolski, Walcott, Sanogo.
strong line up. should get a result.
Sky's programme is on SS5 now.
Hoddle, Merson and Hamman in the studio.
1970 Fairs Cup. :bow:
Highbury. :(
Arsenal. :haha:
Still didn't win the FA Cup.
Alexis Sanchez is similar to Luis Suarez according to Paul Merson. But he doesn't think Sanchez can score 'the worldies' that Suarez can. Qualified that by saying he doesn't think Sanchez will score from the halfway line.
Why am I paying for this again?
Why the fuck are we stuck on SS5 anyway?
Charlie Nicholas on Arsenal:
They have to do more fluency.
:blink:
Champions League music. :bow:
Alexis :bow:
Clement Turpin :bow:.
Careful Ramsey. I worried a bit seeing him slip off the pitch there.
He's putting his new coat on :lol:
Maccy you must enforce the 'no goals from other matches rule today' as I'm planning to watch the replay of the LOLerpool game later.
N_Q to hilariously post fake scores IMO.
That I will.
Great tackle from Chambers on Ox.
:haha:
