I'd play the same team as Sunderland if Walcott is still injured.
Ramsay and Giroud slow our play down, they should be impact subs right now as the team is playing well.
Theo, Bellerin and Nacho all expected to be back for this.
I think in the last 20 years, in 24 attempts, the Spuds have beaten us once at our place. So they can fuck right off.
That was a horrible defeat. Blew a 2-0 half time lead.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Aaron Ramsey could be a key figure on Sunday against Tottenham.
"I consider the next game and try and find the balance. He has come back from injury - he can bring strengths," he adds.
How do we all feel about that?
Hard to read. Most people assumed he would be on the bench going by what he said pre-Ludo. And he wasn't. So no way of telling from his non-committal, politician-style pre and post-game comments.
The game on Sunday will be midfield heavy, so his inclusion could make sense rather than having two more attack minded wide players in Theo and Iwobi.
It also depends on whether Theo is still injured. If he is, then I'd rather have Rambo than Ox there from the start.

Agree re midfield battle. Wanyama, Dembelle and Sissoko is a tough trio and Wenger will think he needs an extra body in there. Rose likes to bomb forward a lot and we wil need someone who tracks back. Theo would be ideal because he will be making runs all game and Rose will know he cant go forward all the time.
That makes sense about Theo too. By the sounds of it he is still struggling to be ready for the game so the right hand side looks like it will come down to a choice between Rambo and Ox. Given the work rate needed for Sunday, Rambo is the smarter option and Ox gives us something from the bench. With Ox starting, I'm not sure he would have the discipline to keep Bellerin covered and what Rambo would give us from the bench would let be much beyond fresh legs and an extra body, if we needed to win the game or come back late on.
The way Theo has played this season, he will be a loss on Sunday if he's unfit. I hope it's just precautionary and he will be ready for the game. Neither Ox nor Ramsey fill me with confidence at this time
