I'll offer my same burns bet to the Leicester boomers.

Leicester top 11 you win. 13-20 i win. 12 push. $25

Arsenal are now 1.58 after a huge move in the last hour. Suggests to me we have a team news leak and Kosc and Ozil are starting, but probably no Mert.

ill take it

Ok booked


Still want it with villa if anyone thinks they're any good

Arsenal: Cech, Bellerin, Gabriel, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Cazorla, Ramsey, Alexis, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott
Subs: Opsina, Debuchy, Arteta, Gibbs, Campbell, Giroud, Chambers

no ozil for arse surprisingly

Web not working. Kick off 30 or 45??

Anyone knows the nature of his injury?

Just would like to not have the pressure of going to half time 0 - 0

Why no giroud?

have you ever seen an epl game kick off @ 12:30 on a saturday?

I can't remember that's why I'm asking you nobhead

unfortunately your internet seems to working just fine since you are able to post here.

Lol at thinking loading internet webpages is same as mobile textapp.

Minor knee issue apparently. Hopefully it's a little more "minor" than Welbeck's that has kept him out forever.

Or maybe he's just refusing to play until fackin penny pinchin' Venga signs Benzema.

Yeah, no need to have both Can and Lucas against a West Ham team that is going to sit in and look to counter.

Stop penny pinching Venga

Giroud just dropped by the look of it. Interesting to see how Walcott gets on.

Im fine w rotating the 2. Hopefully we take the lead and Giroud can come up to help with holdup play

Can will play box to box not like hell be sat in Lucas lap. Midfield is fine IMO.

Jesus that's a ton of pace in the lineup today. Of course Ozil has to miss this game.

Hopefully we try to play to Theo's strengths today. If not, this has the potential to be pretty ugly.

I don't know the full story but if he was told that he isn't for sale by Birmingham city, he either hands in a transfer request and lose money or piss around and don't lose money.

GungaDin you need to be less aggressive in your posts.

No issue with it what so ever, probably the reason why so many players who are handing in transfer requests and what not train with the reserves/youths.

Joel Campbell on the bench. Kind of forgot he was still at the club tbh.

Against a team that sits in, do we need two box to box midfielders? Milner will be doing the same job as Can while Lucas sits back and cycles the ball as well as defend against the counter. Couldn't we have Coutinho play in one of the midfield 3 positions in place of either Can or Lucas and bring in Ibe/Origi/Ings to play out wide? Just maybe gives us a little more width and creativity in the attacking third which I think we'll need. I think Coutinho plays best coming in from the left but we probably don't need the extra midfield player in a game where we will more then likely have the majority of possession. We also run the risk of being really narrow with both Coutinho and Firmino coming central instead of maintaining that width which they are both prone to do. Clyne will provide some width on the right but Gomez isn't great going forward so the game could get a little really compact.
