part of me thinks poldi might start over Rosicky but idk...could potentially see frimmy starting too. arsene has to manage minutes wisely with this thin squad.

put Monreal in instead of zelalem and that's the right squad though.

I was kidding. But those numbers are interesting.

RVP's second goal against Newcastle made me sick.

He could definitely be a top striker in the epl by the time he is 29 though.

I virtually know you well enough to know you didn't think that.

Rarely post in the thread, but very excited for the match tomorrow.

Almost feel like I'm setting myself up for disappointment to be honest, especially with the way things have been going lately.

Being an Arsenal fan = setting yourself up for disappointment, so that last sentence was pretty redundant.

That is a pretty young/inexperienced bench we have. Might only see Poldi or Jenks hit the pitch.

So with this match is there no return leg back at the Emirates later? I am new to the uefa playoffs portion so early in the competition, I really only focus on the group stage and the knockout rounds.

Never a dull moment. Last 10 matches last year resulted in 27 points. Beat Bayern at The Allianz. Not bad.

Don't worry, I'm a lifelong Aggie fan/grad and an Arsenal supporter since 2001. No one knows the meaning of "setting myself up for failure" like me.

Hey, at least you enjoyed some years of greatness. I've casually followed the team since 2007 and more seriously in the past two years. Love when I get called a bandwagoner for supporting Arsenal. It's the only time "we don't win trophies" works as a legitimate comeback
