Emirates Stadium. Dateline Friday 27.01.17
Enter Toady
Toady: Boss, I've got a possible team sheet for tomorrow
Arsene: Ah yes. That Southampton. Zey will play that Van Dijk
T: He's injured, boss
A: Ha! So that leaves Fonte exposed
T: He's gone, boss. West Ham.
A: So surely he will not play the young boy without protection?
T: Gardos, boss.
A: Gardos? Who is zis Gardos
T: No-one knows, boss. Apparently he used to play for them, but there are people now retired who have spent their entire lives awaiting his return.
A: That Bertrand is good
T: Won't play boss, and before you ask, neither will Romeu, Cedric, Yoshida or Davies. Oh and Ward-Prowse
A: Good player
T: But injured
A: So who is left?
T: Well, there's a programme seller called Mike, a tea lady called Susan - nice woman, makes a great brew, and Claude has put himself on the bench.
A: OK, weakened team. Is Welbeck still on the books?
T: Yes, boss
A: Right play him. And that Theo whatsisface. And then anyone hanging around looking like they need a game
Arsene exits to Elbow "It's looking like a beautiful day"
No gulf between the teams, is there?
