Wenger says Arteta could be back for this weekend against Stoke. Oh yeah, that is great news and no new injuries.

If we get our players back we will be a force.

We could go for Mata in January mmm

I'll help!

He owns D.C United and Philadelphia 76ers.

What's so funny about owning those teams? He has been a shit owner. (DC United fan) They finally announced a stadium deal that is still several years away and it still might not happen. They have neglected every other aspect of the team while trying to set up the new stadium.

We beat you again at the Emirates after you tried to screw our Ozil deal by delaying the Bale deal and even reports of Levy trying to ruin it afterwards when it was basically done. That Real partnership working out for ya?

You're going down!

Welcome back!

You'll see dude. In the reverse fixture Eriksen will strike you down and Sandro will eat Ozil.

You scored a nice goal in the derby but I think like the United-Chelsea match, it came a bit too early in the season to be indicative of anything. Still, it was a close game and we nearly pinched a point at the end, after two 5-2 defeats a 1-0 at least shows some kind of improvement. I think too many of our new signings just weren't ready for the battle that day, and having to play Dembele as a no 10 is not ideal. Arsenal were hungrier and wanted it more, it was a fair result but by the standards of recent NLDs a horrendously boring match.

Lets be honest we both know what we really want and that's to kick the crap out of Chelsea. How delightful will it be for Spurs and Arsenal to send Mou and Chelsea into the Europa league? Oh I so want us to beat Chelsea.

And the NLD was a bland game. We had too many injuries and you had too many new faces. Return leg should be a cracker of a game if we both have our full squads available to us.

Conte should stop dicking around with these systems and just go 4-4-2. Tevez up top with the big man Llorente next to him. Perfect combination. Then Pogba with Vidal in the middle for that defensive steel and long range goals. Then you've got Pirlo on the right to whip in some crosses to the big man, and Marchisio on the left because there's nowhere else he can play.

I guarantee you'll win the Cornetto

I'm starting to get pre-derby nerves. I'll be a lot calmer if I knew Giggs and Young definitely weren't starting.

Rooney, Carrick and Felliani/Anderson will walk all over Yaya and Fernandinho if Pellegrini keep letting them be the only ones to cover central midfield. Aguero isn't gonna go as far back defensively as Rooney seems to be doing (?).

This is my dream. I will gladly link arms and dance into the CL with Arsenal if it means Chelsea finish 5th. We play them in 10 days and I think we have a great chance, their CM is dogshit and their strikers are all has-beens.

The defeat to Basel was delicious, keep laying those eggs Mou!

Thirty-two FAs considering EURO 2020 bids
The 32 member associations that have stated their interest, together with their proposed provisional host cities, are:
Armenia (Yerevan), Azerbaijan (Baku), Belarus (Minsk), Belgium (Brussels), Bulgaria (Sofia), Croatia (Zagreb), Czech Republic (Prague), Denmark (Copenhagen), England (London), Finland (Helsinki), France (Lyon), Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (Skopje), Germany (Munich), Greece (Athens), Hungary (Budapest), Israel (Jerusalem), Italy (Rome, Milan), Kazakhstan (Astana), Netherlands (Amsterdam), Poland (Warsaw, Chorzow), Portugal (Lisbon, Porto), Republic of Ireland (Dublin), Romania (Bucharest), Russia (St Petersburg), Scotland (Glasgow), Serbia (Belgrade), Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, Valencia), Sweden (Solna), Switzerland (Basel), Turkey (Istanbul), Ukraine (Kyiv, Donetsk) and Wales (Cardiff).

"We are extremely proud to see the huge interest in the bidding process, with more than half of our member associations willing to host matches at UEFA EURO 2020," said UEFA President Michel Platini. "The finals will be a great celebration of football across the European continent, and the 60th anniversary edition will be truly special, by really coming to the doorstep of all football fans."

Since hosting the 2020 EUROs doesn't grant automatic qualification to the tournament I'm baffled by the amount of interest shown.

My honest feeling is that it will be a turgid affair and both sides won't want to lose. It has draw written all over it.

Proposed FIFA calendar from FIFA bid chief @MayneNicholls would have WC Qatar 2022 final same day as Super Bowl

League break: December 19th - February 13th.
World Cup: January 6th - February 6th.

Ridiculous. The leagues better fight it.

Cardiff away is a banana skin fixture. People just expect to win these games when they can easily end in an annoying draw.

You seem to be getting some injuries too at a bad time. I really want you to beat Chelsea and they can be beat. Mou has pissed the bed with the way he has handled Mata who was their best player 2 years in a row and no one brought in is good enough to replace him. I can't understand what Mou's problem with Mata is, every team needs creativity, and Mata brings that and goals as well and better than anyone else in the Chelsea team.

The more Mata doesn't play the better for everyone else. Chelsea made an error letting Lukaku go, can't understand the logic behind that decision. Would have made sense if they got Rooney but they didn't get Rooney, they got an over the hill Eto'o.

Secret agent Mou.. He is destroying Chelsea from within before revealing himself as the real successor to SAF and taking over when Moyes is no longer needed.

I wonder if the Emirates crowd will sing for Ozil during his first home game for our club? Hope so. Better be a great atmosphere there and better yet get a great result.
