3-0 Osmajic hatter
So everyone's really up for this one then? :lol:
He HAS to play the kids and reserves - it's that simple:
In goal: assuming Netos' still cup-tied then the 16 year-old we had the other week
Nicholls Heaven Kuczynski Lewis-Skelly
Jorginho Robinson
Nwaneri M'Hand Sterling
Jesus
I'm up for this, in fact I'm on my way to Deepdale!
Taking a mate who's never seen Arsenal men or women win in person :lol:
I was in Preston a year ago, it rained a lot….seemed fittingQuote:

Last 3 trains out of Manchester have been cancelled, couldn't get on the one that finally did arrive because it was full.
Waiting for a replacement bus along with the rest of Lancashire, it seems.
Noooortheeeeern! :threaten:
Fuck it, got an Uber
Had literally no idea we were playingQuote:

He does indeed. Need a chance to start with the Christian puns againQuote:

NWANERI!!! Holy shit what a strike.
Surely this boy needs to be getting some PL minutes.
Sterling. :lol:
Sterling getting megged by Preston. :lol:
0-2 HT.
Partey and Havertz on for Timber and Merino.
HAVERTZ!!!
Great header.
Should be 1-3.
Zinchenko off for Lewis-Skelly.
Martinelli off for Saka.
Jesus and Sterling. :lol:
Unlucky Nwaneri.
Bringing Saka on when they are three nil up against Preston in the silly cup is madness.
I don’t know, returning to match fitness, it doesn’t do him harm to get minutes in a dead fixtureQuote:

Play some of the kids for the experience not the best offensive player Arsenal have.
What a clearance from Potts off the line!
Preston 0-3 Arsenal, FT.
On we go.
Spent my misspent youth in Deepdale. Great place Preston, or it was before it was overrun by you-know-who. Happy memories though. They had that stupid plastic pitch back then, that used to cause all eleven opposition to get injured every match. After the match we'd get run down by vicious coppers on horseback and then go and get a kebab that was probably made from the same horses parents. Actually, maybe it's rose tinted glasses. Anyway, didn't even know this match was on. Missed it. Seems like it all went well though.
AgreedQuote:

Yep, if Barcelona can start Yamal (and not saying Nwaneri is at Yamal’s level, but the reason he was picked for Spain was because he was getting games for Barca last season)I see no reason why we shouldn’t start Nwaneri (might work better than trying to play Rice, Trossard whoever in the attacking midfield role)
Even if Odegaard is back soon, going to take him a while to get back to where he was (and he wasn’t that great in the first few games before he got injured…was he not carrying a knock in the Brighton game)
