Arsenal

[Rev]

He probably needs to go out on loan. Charlton or something.

[toythatkills]

Podolski's loan move to Inter is done. Frees up a place in the squad for Messi. I assume that was the plan, anyway, to replace Podolski with another human being.

[Rev]

I think we're winding down to go back to the property business now that things are looking up there. Sanchez is actually an established estate agent, Ozil and Walcott both needed training, hence the "injuries".

Wilshere doesn't even know what a house is, bless 'im.

[toythatkills]

I would buy anything off Alexis Sanchez

[Mars]

I bought a house from Abou Diaby but then the house fell down and his spine exploded

[toythatkills]

Podolski sat on the bench for Inter for 60 minutes last night before coming on to not score a goal. A real change of pace for his career.

Isco for £64m then, lads?

It's obviously rubbish, really, but the fact that it's a ridiculous amount of money for a player we don't need who will do literally nothing at all to help our defensive "issues" make me think there could be something in it. Classic Wenger.

[Silent Runner]

Ozil available on Sunday according to Wenger at the presser. Not sure I'd want to start him against the orcs though.

[The Fox]

Can't see him starting after so long out, but he's certainly a nice option to have off the bench. Ramsey back in full training too.

[Lucky]

Apparently Ospina is starting in goal against Stoke on Sunday.

That silly cigarette Szczesny had in the shower after the dodgy performance he put in against Southampton might cost him a bit more than the £20,000 fine he got.

[hauk]

Koscielny back, Walcott back, Ozil back. If we can get Arteta and Ramsey back we'll have a half decent team. Obviously the other half of the team will then get injured, but you can always hope.

[toythatkills]

The other half of the team is the defence so I'm not sure we'll notice.

[The Fox]

Ospina starting vs Stoke seems like a dodgy idea in theory, I doubt he's any taller than me. They'll have him on toast at set pieces.

Ospina starting vs Stoke seems like a dodgy idea in theory, I doubt he's any taller than me. They'll have him on toast at set pieces.

Maybe the idea is to make Stoke think Ospina will play so they build their tactics around bullying the opposition at set pieces, then a last minute surprise inclusion of Szczesny means they have to make an unprepared switch to their Plan B: bullying the opposition at set pieces.

[g wings]

Plan A or Plan B?... We can show them a thing or two about having multiple plans

[Starbreaker]

Right! Which shall we go with?

A) Going 4-0 down within 20 minutes and then not getting a glimmer until eighty minutes for some reason or

B) Going 2-0 up and cruising, getting someone sent off in the 70th minute, Wenger responding by having a midfield shuffle, the entire defence having group amnesia vis a vis football in general and losing 3-2 at the death to something embarrassing like a Ryan Shawcross free header?

Decisions, decisions...

[Lucky]

So Ospina is in goal, Kos and Giroud start too.

Strong bench with Theo and Ozil

[toythatkills]

Can't decide if our bench looks strong or injured. Walcott, Ozil and Ramsey would be nice options ordinarily.

[Lucky]

I'd like to think that if they're on the bench then they are fit and able to come on if needed. Saying that, Theo spent about a month on the bench before starting against Hull only to be on the bench again today.

Gotta win today.

With West Ham, Spurs, Southampton and/or UTD dropping points this weekend it's an opportunity to make up a few points on the teams around us.

[mop]

Jesus, what the fuck has happened to Debuchy? They're taking a age to get him off the pitch. Must be a real fucking nasty injury.

Edit: Looks like he's done his shoulder. Super.

[Lucky]

Loads of chances here. Their keeper's made a few good saves already.

We've gotta make it count and get a second.

[toythatkills]

If we're going to get a defensive injury it might as well be now rather than the first of February, I suppose

[Gotters]

Why aren't they mentioning the cunty push on debuchy by arnatovich ? He didn't intend to put him out game but it wasn't called for and the sole intent was to leave a marker on him and shove him into the ads

[Silent Runner]

Fucking eat that you orcs.

[toythatkills]

What a fucking player

[Shoes]

Holy shit, Alexis.

One of those goals you can just watch over and over again. The one-two, the hop over that fucking ridiculous slide tackle, the finish, the fucking finish, Begovic just being completely taken out of the game by the shock of it. Amazing.

[toythatkills]

Where the fuck would we be without this guy?!

[Plissken]

Lovely goal, but did he nutmeg two players on the way and bend it into the far corner, no? No he did not. http://gfycat.com/CrispVictoriousChamois

(I only mention this because Dyche said yesterday "if Alexis Sanchez scores that, you'll see it 1000 times - Scotty will be lucky to see it twice.")
