    Some of you get your wish!
    Latest team news from the BBC:
    "Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain start for Arsenal against Newcastle this afternoon, while Laurent Koscielny is fit enough to take his place in the side."
    Giroud is on the bench.

    Don't think Giroud should be on the bench, as he could work well with Walcott & Sanchez out wide, but I'm glad to see Wenger change it up.

    Delighted to see Koscielny back, too.

    Shame to see Ozil out because, even though I don't rate him that highly, I think he would have a lot of joy against Newcastle's defence.

    Our team: Cech; Bellerin, Koscielny, Gabriel, Monreal; Coquelin, Cazorla; Sanchez, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Walcott

    Interesting. Ramsey in CAM.

    Not seen the team sheet yet, does it say why Ozil's out? injured?

    Our bench though looks weak as **** if we want to change it attacking wise.

    Agreed! Apart from Giroud and possibly Gibbs making an attacking wing option it looks sparse.. I just don't rate Campbell one bit.

    Lol at Newcastle fans trying to be victims, **** right off, they are lucky they're not 1-0 down from a clear penalty, on top of the deserved red card.

    Should have been a penalty to Arsenal, but the red card for Mitrovic was a joke tbf. Mariner is losing the plot and control of the game by the looks of things.

    Howard Webb has already watched it and said it was a clear red...

    And? If he had said it wasn't I doubt anyone would be giving his opinion more credit than I am. It was a poor decision and that's without prejudice.

    No it wasn't a poor decision, it was a fair red card.

    Poor decision based on what? In what way can you say it was a bad decision? You could argue it might be a bit harsh but it's not like a red is completely the wrong decision. You can see why it was given.

    A nasty challenge, high foot, studs up, raking down his shin, watched by chief ref on a replay confirming a red.

    But you know what, I'll go with your decision instead.

    Why isn't Giroud playing? I've put that tosser in my fantasy team and he's sitting on the bench :(
