I am about to leave my secret base in the west to be flown into North London to meet with the Welshies <ok>
 
Huge game, alot of people are saying that it is the worst possible time to play us after the week we have had, and they may be right. But what some people don't understand is that derby matches are one offs recent form counts for nothing because its just 90 minutes of football and the chance to earn the bragging rights until we next meet. We have home advantage and the crowd will definately be up for it. Everyone can see that our team is fairly inferior when compared to the team we had last season but we do still have a few quality players that can make the difference.
 
Team in full: Szczesny, Sagna, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Gibbs, Song, Arteta, Rosicky, Benayoun, Walcott, Van Persie.

Substitutes: Fabianski, Jenkinson, Miquel, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gervinho, Chamakh, Park.


Benayoun, interesting... I predict both Oxlade and Gervinho will come on if nothing is going for us.
 
Gervinho on the bench? Will be an interesting choice! I haven't seen much of Benayoun in an attacking sense.

Dunno why Benny hasn't featured much for us and i've never quite worked out whats he's done wrong? Maybe hes pee'd off the gaffer in training or something? Anyway, risky move to play him in such a tough and risky game especially when OXO and Gervinho have been our better forward players. My thinking is Wenger wants more possession and defence in midfield....

Well he is going back next season...
 
well gave my ticket away.... Could not face the dross that will be served up by our team at the emirates by our team.... So far it was a good decision!
