15:00 Arsenal v Southampton Referee Mark Clattenburg Linesmen S Beck A Holmes 4th Official A D'Urso That's not good!
With Wilsheres current form he is far more likely to be on the bench rather than starting given that we have so many top quality midfield players. To be fair to Wilshere he has been nursing varies little knocks and injuries all season whilst playing out of position and has still made an impact. It looks like we may have Walcott and Podolski back in the squad for our fixture against you lot, which means this might be the first game of the season where we are able to field an almost proper subs bench! If i rememebr correctly however Flamini is suspended for this game for picking up too many yellow cards. So it'll probably be something like: -----------Sczc------------ Sagna-----Mert--Kosc---Gibbs -------Arteta----Ramsey---- Rosicky-------Ozil------Cazorla --------------Giroud-------- Subs: Flappy, Vermaelen, Monreal, Jenkinson, Wilshere, Walcott, Podolski Unless Walcott is fit to start in which case Rosicky will drop to the bench. There is also the possibility that Jenkinson would be dropped from the bench in favour of Gnabry, Hayden or one of our other youth players.
It's quite a good side when you look at it. That Ramsey/Ozil/Cazorla triangle is scary Not overly worried about Walcott vs Shaw, Rodriguez 'n Lovren.
To be honest, the Official match script read Saints to lose 1 0 to the Arsenal with a dodgy penalty in the second half, there was no mention of a clown act in the first half.
