So...the big South East London Derby is here. Arsenal won the previous encounter thanks to their hero Sanchez who showed just how much Arsenal mean to him by refusing to join run away leaders Manchester City...now there's loyalty rarely seen in today's football world. Arsenal are close to getting Ozil and Wilshere to sign new contracts and they announced further good news by letting their fans know that they finally found a team mug enough to buy the **** version of Arron Lennon <whisper> After the news that Chelsea are desperately searching for a ****e striker to pair with Morata (£54m ) but have failed with Carrol, Palace are making it known that Benteke is available and is as **** as the come! Arsenal are rumoured to be looking at a ex Southampton player who currently plays for Liverpool (like that narrows it down) ... Wenger was reportedly really impressed with him scoring a great opening goal in the 4-3 win over City Arsenal are only 8 points off 4th so a win in their SELD would be a vital step in their quest to prove that they are on the up. There is however a little fear in the Arsenal ranks due to the suspicion that the Croydon Cat Killer may turn up at the Emirates as their are likely to be 18 pussies in the Arsenal match day squad. Former Arsenal and Palace hero Adebayor has sort to build bridges himself and Arsenal to show he has what it takes become an football ambassador BTW ... Arsenal TV was funny as **** last weekend
------------Cech---------- -----Mustafi--Kosc--Montreal--- Bellerin--Xhaka--Wilshere--Kolasinac ------------------Ozil------------- --------Welbeck---Lacazette----- Subs: Ospina, Holding, Chambers/Mert, El Neny, Ramsey, +2 youth I'd imagine something like that will be our team.
Good to see Kos and Monreal back. We've been shaky as **** in defence, so this should sure things up at the back a bit.
Might end up with something like this today: ---------------Cech---------- ---Mustafi--Kosc--Monreal-- Bellerin--Xhaka--Wilshere--Kolasinac ----------Iwobi-----Ramsey----------- -----------------Lacazette---------- Subs: Ospina, Holding, Mert/Chambers, El Neny, Ozil, +2 youth If Ozil isn't ready to start and Welbeck has a knock
Ozil was training yesterday, as was Monreal, didn't see Kos or Ramsey in the pictures, but they might have been too. Swap Ozil for Iwobi in that team and it should be enough to see off Crystal Palace at our place. It isn't that underwhelming.
The last time a team went 3 nil up in the prem in 13 mins was when arsenal went in 4 nil up v Newcastle in 2012.
Typical had to miss the first 20mins of the game... turned it on just after 4-0 up!! Some lovely passing with Wilshere Ozil and Lacazette since I've turned it on
Has Kolasinac pissed off Wenger by the way? Doesn't seem to get any game time after being solid at the start of the season.
Iwobi seems to always shoot even when there are obvious better options! Think sometimes he doesn't get his head up. Could have put that on a plate for Lacazette. Great pass from Ozil by the way..
