    What is the Craic with Debuchy by the way?

    Wenger said he may let him leave in January. Which I do understand, especially with the Euros this year as he obviously wants to play, but I don't think the timing would be convenient because we'd be left short in the full-back position. The only other two first-team players that can play as a RB aside from Bellerin is Chambers and Flamini. Both aren't suited to that position, in my opinion, so I'd rather we keep him in until the Summer, unless we have plans to bring in another RB.

    He's not been a great signing for us on the whole, though. He's suffered two big injuries since he's been at the club which have clearly hindered him, both mentally and physically. It's a shame, but I think it's right that we sell him. Just not sure if January is the right time.

    On paper, it looks like a straightforward 3pts for us. However I doubt this will happen. Your team at the moment, are big time charlies, seem to turn up against the big sides. I expect you guys to turn-up today and possibly get a draw or even nick all 3points.

    So 2 changes, Monreal and Kos back, think it's pretty harsh to drop Gabriel.

    Really fast start from us, could have scored two already. Chamberlain should have at least got that on target, though. Excellent play from Bellerin.

    Stupid foul to give away from Ox. Really naive defending.

    After our quick start, it seems to have gone a bit flat.

    Any reason for Oxo starting instead of Campbell? Seems like a weird decision to me.

    I see what Ramsey was trying to do there, but that wasn't the right pass, for me. Should have kept it simple because we had players in better positions.

    ****ing OXO is starting to frustrate the hell out of me, he is looking like some **** average player who just happens to be playing in a good club. At the moment his worth seems to be at some mid table team, nothing more.

    Ox has been so poor on the ball. Disappointing so far after his promising display against Bournemouth.

    This has been a really, really bad half so far. When they have the ball, we are too far deep in our half and we're not doing anything to win the ball back. Ramsey and Flamini haven't been tight enough in midfield and they're overrunning us in midfield.

    Not good enough from Arsenal so far.

    That shot from OXO sums it all up.
