    Utd almost made things really difficult for themselves in europe again but pulled it back together to get a win.

    There strike force really is impressive, with Rooney and RVP as the main men and Welbeck and Hernandez as there back-ups (with different styles).

    In the first half Utd where sloppy and Braga played well. Defensive frailities at Utd continued to show but everytime they went forward they looked dangerous. It was a very open game and Braga controlled the midfield but the balls in from the wings meant Utd always looked like they would grab something from the game.

    Podolski will start on the left. Still not sure about Gnabry though. Would Wenger give a 17 year old his first start against Schalke?

    I fear it'll be Gerv, with Giroud in the middle.

    Seen that Ramsey did the press conference that players have to do before CL games. Is that an indicator to anything? Maybe as against City, Wenger will just stick Ramsey on the right. You will love that Kyle.

    Hooray. Ramsey starts. Whoopee.

    I'm off to the bookies, putting a tenner on Schalke to win.

    Ramsey hasn't been bad when playing down the wings this season so why not?

    Not what i had in mind but i do beleive he is more influential as a striker than a winge. Have a feeling coq will have a great game though. Dont mind if i test my jinxing qualities but im predicting a 5-1 arsenal win. If we lose im honestly sorry!

    5-1? Way too optimistic. Can only see us winning by the odd goal.
