West ham are on good form (other than Chelsea yesterday) and its at Upton park, so I think we need to go into this with a full strength team. Giroud is out for 3 matches now, so the responsibility is on Welbeck and Sanchez again to come up with the goals. Rosicky might have played himself into the team after yesterday though, and Walcott can't be far off getting some game time.
It's gonna be a difficult one, west ham have done well this season and still find themselves near the top of the table with almost half the season played. I'd like to see us use an almost full strength team. But I understand that with the fixtures comming so quickly it maybe necessary to rotate a little. Southampton play Chelsea and utd play Tottenham at the same day as this one, so a win could see us back in the top four and closing right in on third place. We need to get a win and propel ourselves back up the table where we belong.
We've won our last 8 games against West Ham. We've scored at least three goals in our last five games against them and they not beaten us since 06/07. So it's a game we should be confident of doing well in. That said west ham are in a rich vein of form and haven't lost at home since August. So it'll be an interesting one! Looking for a big result today! P.s. This is my last post on the forum for a while today as the slow speed and bugs are doing my head in!

Arsenal team: Arsenal team v West Ham: Szczesny, Debuchy, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Flamini, Coquelin, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Alexis, Welbeck Would have gone with OXO-Flamini in the middle, and Podolski out wide instead. Always better to have 5 attacking options rather than 4, which I think is too little.

7 goals by Welbeck, how many goals does Falcao have theevilcunt? After never getting any penalties, that's 4 in our last 5 I believe.
So far so good. Essential we don't allow them any opportunity to get back in this. Plus we have guys like Pod, Theo and Akpom who can pace-wreck them when they push up later on.
