[I_Killed_Kenny]

fair point. just wondered how the old "unsettled" excuse hasnt come out this time

[Grebbo]

good news. we still pay his wage, he's still an arsenal player so he should be picked

would love to hear how many boo's he gets if he scored

You seriously think we will play him?

Absolutely no way.

Wenger's just trying to make City hurry the fuck up.

[Kano]

I do, we are down to two midfielders only, he don't have a choice

[Xhaka Can’t]

He's a cunt.

[LDG]

He's a cunt.

And so is Nasri.

I do, we are down to two midfielders only, he don't have a choice

It won't happen.

Arsenal v Liverpool (1245 BST)

Like Newcastle versus Sunderland, this is another fixture that you don't expect to see so early in the season. It is a massive game but I don't think the fans have had much time to build up to it.

Arsenal have been shorn of two of their outstanding players after losing Cesc Fabregas and, by the looks of things, Samir Nasri sooner rather than later too. They are also without Alex Song and Gervinho because of suspension and have got a couple of injury concerns too.

But Liverpool might also be licking their wounds a little bit after following such a bright first half against Sunderland with a very average second one.

If you offered Reds boss Kenny Dalglish a draw at the Emirates now, he would probably take it. Yes, you can say it is a good time to play Arsenal because of their problems but you could argue the same about Liverpool while their new players settle in and get their fitness sorted out.

Prediction: 1-1

Whats everyone think of that team? Quite interesting but I'd prefer to play Djourou at CB and Vermaelen out LB

[Marc Overmars]

Dreading the look of our midfield tomorrow but excited at the same time to see the likes of Frimpong et al.

[Kaiser]

Djourou is injured STB.

I'd take the gamble and play Miyaichi out wide and Arshavin in behind RVP. Or if not, play Lansbury finally. Nasri will just be taking a place o the bench like Bendtner did on Tuesday.
