shite, I ain't taking Holding right now. Gabriel was excellent too. I'm not changing that back three until they don't play well together.

Welbeck changed the game with his running. Getting down the channels really stretched City. He won the free kick for the goal, created a lot of chances.

Welbz is such an interesting player. When he plays on instinct he's brilliant, but give him time or a fairly clean chance and he'll find a way to fluff it as often as not.

Still, I love the guy, and we are so static when Giroud is on. Giroud has thrived as a super sub and spot starter. Put him back in that role.

Weird that Walcott isn't in the mix, either, as he's been very good this year. Don't really have a fit for him with the 3-4-2-1, unless he's with Alexis and Ozil up top, and I think Wenger would prefer Welbeck or Giroud.

Gabs was amazing yesterday.

I told y'all he'd end up being a Monreal, play him in his non natural position for a bit and he'll come back even better in his original spot.
Yeah the defense was vulnerable at times, but they're playing really well together. To me, Mustafi has to show he's worthy to get back in the side (at the moment). If I'm Wenger I'm not letting him walk right in over Gabriel or Rob.

Start playing Welbeck up front with Alexis. Giroud can be a super sub, and Theo can play there too.

We have a good selection headache on where to put some of these guys, but we most definitely need to bring in new talent. Wenger (or whoever) should be looking at the new recruits to play in the 3-4-3 or 3-5-2; not a back 4.

Not the lineup I'd have picked but I figure he's resting some guys for the derby this weekend.

What the frick is going on with NBC Sports extension?

Cox 1503 shows Arsenal-Leicester, then cuts away to this "goal rush" shite where they are covering the other two games already being shown on other channels.

Coquelin is even more useless in this formation. He has no idea what to do with the ball.

Sub on Giroud and Ox for Theo and Coquelin at half. Alexis and Coquelin have lost the ball at least 20 times this half.

Seeing Nacho celebrate like that made me so happy I'm NGL.

It's great to see what it means to the players.

Yup. We controlled the game from beginning to end but he acted like Leicester was out playing us.

NBC live site kills me. They ruin the game if I have to watch a replay on there. The main headline was Arsenal beat Leicester.

Anyways, not such a good game. Don't understand Wengers thinking or the team in general. When you should actually start Giroud or Welbeck, you have Theo and Sanchez in there and you are putting in crosses to guys that just can't out physical the Leicester defense.

But that's one down and six more to go. We can finish ahead of Liverpool. Manu would need to drop points against Arsenal and one other team or we need to catch them on goal difference.

Arsenal controls their own destiny essentially. All we need to do is win out and have ManU and Liverpool draw once. Which will happen. But us winning our last 6 six seems borderline impossible now

Aight guys it's NLD time. Massive game. I just hope the team shows up like we did against City. I would keep the same 11 from the semi final minus Giroud. I rather Welbeck.

This is make or break time. End the title challenge of your most hated rival and gain more confidence to really push for that 4th spot.

Arsene Wenger says it would be ‘hypocritical’ of him to say he wasn’t interested in signing Monaco forward Kylian Mbappe, but has suggested that Arsenal won’t be able to compete financially with some of the other clubs who will look to sign him this summer.



Jeez, this is the type of shite that bugs me. Is it Arsene, or is it Kroenke? Maybe both? But those other clubs will spend the money and go on to win their league and compete in champions league finals.

Wasn't the whole point of moving to a new stadium and saving money so that Arsenal could be a super power in Europe? To be able to compete financially with the top clubs in Europe?


shite, Tottenham is moving to a brand new stadium, where's the excuses from their manager? Does Tottenham have deeper pockets that Arsenal, Liverpool, United, city?

No, but the stadium financing was designed so that the main shareholders wouldn't have their shares lose value.

I think this lineup is the way to go tomorrow & the rest of the season

Obviously Perez won't be playing, due to "injury" but I think he'd do well there.
I also think moving Ox back centrally, where he excelled earlier this year, is the right move. I know he's done great as a RWB but I don't think we can keep Hector out of the team any longer.
Bring on Giroud, Ramsey/Elneny & maybe Theo as subs.

I had the same exact thought. Ox + Bellerin > Ox + Ramsey

However If Giroud is in the game Ox should go to RWB. His crossing is miles ahead of Bellerin's.

Monreal at CB and Giroud up top. Not liking this. Hope I'm wrong.
