Kickoff is at 2:05 PM GMT, 9:05 AM EDT, 3:05 AM HST at The KC Stadium. Television coverage will be provided by NBCSN in the States. Okay, after three points courtesy of a Podolski brace, a stunning control and finish from Giroud and a brilliant cameo from the Welsh Jesus things are looking up. There are no more short turnarounds this season, Koscielny and Ramsey are back, and Özil is right behind them, perhaps just in time to caress another one past these mugs and into the net. Three points down and twelve more to go. Up the Arsenal.
I fully expect Tonerl to be the game day thread starter at the beginning of next season. Let's do this!
Can't take them for granted, of course. For this game and that OTHER game. Thankfully, some of our actual really good players are trickling back into the lineup. I'm really hoping the OP can run the table til next season. Win this game and eliminates United for CL consideration. Win this game and the next, celebrate Totteringham's Day!
OH YEAH! I'd almost forgotten about that somehow. They've been harder to spot in our rearview mirror.
So we might get Ozil back for this. I don't see a chance he starts, but 20 minutes off the bench? We're finally getting our squad back.
Not quite. Apparently Gibbs can't stay healthy and is out. Let's hope Nacho fails his fitness test. I'd rather have TV5 back there.
I am concerned that Hull will play a significant role in this teams success this year - this game, Hull plays Everton 5/11, and the FA Cup.
Give it a rest already. We get it, ffs! I hope I'm never so jaded as to hope for injury to people who's fitness is their livelihood.
I'm not a big fan of Monreal either, but the positive thing about him is that he and Ozil can play remarkably good with each other, it's as if Monreal exactly knows when Ozil is going to pass the ball to him and vice versa.
I don't wish him any bad fortune. but, fit or not fit, I hope he has played his last game for AFC. Can that be that difficult to understand? Which AFC fan is happy with giving up calamitous goal after calamitous goal? Anybody? Tell me, how did you feel when Tweety was on the team sheet? Or Andre Santos? Did you want to see them out there on the field? Or out the door, to another club? Yep, every time I saw Tweety or Santos or Cygan on the team sheet, the first thing I did was cheer, "boy is the other team in for it!" Complete unmitigated disaster, keystone cop defending at times, a reason why AW has to leave, now. Where he finds these @ass clowns and declares them good enough to play for AFC has been his undoing.
I have seen others reference an "ignore feature". Please inform a fellow Arsenal fanatic how to ignore the constant drivel and negativity of certain posters if such a way exists. Thanks in advance
OT.....but did ya see this? http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/golf/27077922 Got dressed....birdied the hole...and carded a 68 !!
------Giroud------ Poldi-Cazorla-OX --------Rambo---- --Flamini---------- TV5-Kos-Per-Bac --------Sczc------- **Might look weird, but read that Hull attack mainly on the right. So cue full on Mattuso mode. Stay home, protect TV5 with Poldi. Leave the attacking to everyone else. 0-3 to give them a taste of things to come. GO ON YOU GUNNERS!!
That's probably the best lineup at this point with Ozil on the bench until he gets ready. Will Diaby be on the bench ?
Cant see it honestly, especially with other players returning in that position. Honestly if he's to have any shot at resurrecting his career now that he's rehabbed that injury, he should just train with the team, get a summer break and do a full pre season before actually getting thrown into the fire.
