    Monreal has got to start. Wenger better not start Gibbs.

    Cannot wait for tomo. I got a ticket to the game and dying with anticipation. First game I will be seeing since I moved back to London so my first game in nearly 5 years. Not a bad way to re-start.

    As for the game itself I reckon the team will be Ramsey on the right and Caz in the middle with Wilshere and Walcott coming of the bench. Don't see Wenger taking a 'chance'. My choice would be Theo starting on the right and Ramsey in the middle.

    Wales vs Belgium for a start - if that doesn't get you excited then nothing will!

    I just wish I had tickets tbh

    The problem is the band wagon jumpers have bought all the tickets <grr>
    I used to go to Wales games regularly when they played in Wrexham <ok>

    It's true, but I have to say I enjoyed the games much more during Mark Hughes time in front of 70k (mostly of bandwagon jumpers) when we were the best supported side in Europe, than when Coleman started off and we got 6k in Parc Y Sgarlets (in Llanelli for those who don't know).

    EDIT - at least there's a wagon to jump onto now!

    Yeah the Spanish lot and Ozil reactions make it for me. Much better than attempting a song!

    I know what you mean, North Wales deserves international football, and the Wrexham area is a hot bed of football. But didn't the Racecourse lose it's 'international accreditation' (or whatever it's called) when all those ****ers in charge tried to run the club into the ground, I think since the University bought the ground, and the fans were allowed to buy into the club, they've got it back now, so hopefully there will be more games up North...
