Bendtner just missed a sitter. Still 0-0. Diaby and Squillaci back for Arsenal.

Edit: also Almunia is back. How'd I miss that?

Moments after whiffing a glorious opportunity, Beowulf scores off a deflection. 1-0 Gunners. Should score 4 or 5, at least, on this squad.

Im up watching it. Yeah ALmunia was confirmed back earlier this week.

Bendtners shot was going wide til it took the defelction :/ take it anyway. Arshavin is showing a little bit of quality at least.

not really excited for this match to be honest, despite knowing they should score quite a few goals.

Well no worries. With Denilson and Squillaci handing out gifts this morning, this match might get interesting.

what an amazing backheel that was. Beowulf should have converted that service and that would be making highlight reels for certain.

Of everyone playing out there, him and Kos were the only two that could not afford to suffer an injury.

Huddersfield honestly should have 2. Shocking that an Arsenal D with Squillaci is sucking.

by the way, Arsenal are playing with 3 in the middle, comprised of Rosicky, Denilson, and Diaby which in itself is not very good, and they are playing with Beowulf and Chamakh both up top, no one is playing on the right wing.

I honestly can't grasp just how bad he is. I mean, he is so bad he literally should not see the pitch, ever.

wow, speak of the devil. Squid gets himself a red. Moronic defending. A bit harsh, but the guy just is a moron.

This lineup for Arsenal does not have any strengths to be honest. It is filled with more weak spots than bright ones.

And like that, game on. Squillaci red. What a terrible bunch of challenges there.

The only thing we have is Eboue going forward at the moment. Hopefully this red will help up tighten up the ship. I'm assuming Song will come on at HT.

I am assuming Nicky B will drop into the right flank and it will be a 4-4-1. Diaby will most likely come off, him or Denilson so Song can slide into the center back position.

Diaby has looked horribly rusty.

Worst part about the injury and sending off is if we are chasing a goal late, we'll only have one sub.

1-0 Gunners. Arshavin should have just made it 2-0. So frustrating.

Denilson is up there with Squillaci in terms of uselessness imo. He's been bad this year.
