Played 90 minutes on Saturday. Looked good to me.


I stand corrected

Hoping for this lineup against the 's


I'd consider that our ultimate lineup with everyone healthy. The only close change would be Kos for Per, but with how great Per is playing and how bad Kos is playing at the moment, that decision is pretty easy.

Yeah, I'm glad you followed up with that second sentence.. because Djourou looked easily to be the best Centerback on the pitch yesterday.. Kos had a bad day. (and in general not a good season so far)

I only watched extra time. Kos was the best in those 30 minutes! Haha. Djourou had some terrifying moments in extra time.

I really hope Theo can start Saturday. We need to re-sign him quickly.

Whoa whoa whoa.. calm yourself son. Mostly reserves against mostly Reading's first team..


Im happy for the win, but those reserves have been called upon in the past. Arsenal has been plagued with injury for years now. Yes they are promising, but Arsenal needs more than promising to continue to compete.

Gervinho out at least 3 weeks. Gibbs, Szczesny, Diaby still not back. If Theo has recovered, he should start. Though I expect it'll be Rambo on the right again.

So tired of the damn word "setback"

Every single time.

Also with Valencia and Rafael running at our left backs I think it's an absolutely horrible idea to put Santos back there.. (should use Jenkinson IMO, he might not have a left footed cross but the defending part is more important.. attack up the right with Sagna and Theo)

Jenkinson and Theo played 120+ minutes in a frenetic match on Tuesday. Would be kind of surprised to see them in the starting lineup.

Theo should at the very least be a sub, it was 3 full days of rest.

Oh by the way... Transfer rumor of the day.

Schurrle and Holtby

I've noticed what I believe to be part of the problem... We have way too many slow players.

Cazorla, arteta, mert, giroud, Ramsey, poldi all could be considered a little slower.

Hard to break on a counter with no speed.

emotional turmoil is great impetus for creative writing tho. that's why my twitgame is maybe my only skill in life. that and prodigiously remembering things from 14 years ago to one day throw back in someone's face

At this point I'd rather bowl than watch Arsenal.

I don't get it. Never seen such a neutered Arsenal attack.

see what I mean, with subtlety, concise wordcount, and accuracy of metaphor you convey precise sentiment.

torment is the alchemy leading to good writing. for everyone else, listless masturbation and drinking
