    Injuries happen mate. Hopefully this season we've got the depth to cope, which has been the case so far.

    Remember we've already had a raft of key players out this season and we're sitting top of both the PL and CL

    Lat night was a big game. Against Bayen Munich in the CL you want your best players. Maybe once we've qualified Arteta will rotate a bit more in the CL

    I don’t think we can really criticise Arteta playing a player who isn’t a nailed on starter anyway if everyone is fit. They’ve squeezed some European games into December I think and now they’re in a position to rest whoever for those. Their squad is ridiculous and they can rest players. Does my head in far more when the likes of Fulham sack off cups.

    We've got Trossard, Martinelli and Madueke who can all play on the left. When Jesus is fit again he can play there too.

    Trossard has been starting on the left as both Martinelli and Madueke have been injured. There's an argument that Trossard is a first choice on the left anyway as he's been brilliant this season.

    As I mentioned, I think Arteta wants to make sure we've qualified and then he has the luxury of resting and rotating.

    And two of the remaining games are against pub teams so you can stick Gunnersaurus up front and win 3-0 instead of 5-0.

    I think Gunnersaurus' preferred position is as an inverted left back, but I take your point.

    Makes playing him up front an even bigger insult to Kairat Almaty. They didn’t travel on horseback for three weeks for this.

    Do you want me to tell you the story of when a Luton player did the same to gift us a late penalty in a 3-3 draw at Kenilworth Road in the FA cup circa 2000? We went on to win the replay and then lose 6-0 at home to you in the next round.

    Do you?

    That's an abomination of a post

    And it's 13 years too early too.

    I’ve made a note to follow up then.

    What happens when brb dies? Is there a plan in place? We should be informed.
