I am calling it now, Arsenal are gonna finish the game with four fullbacks on the pitch. As long as one doesn't get injured.

You think there's any chance City didn't notice that Stoke got in-behind Coquelin quite a few times with simple one-twos? =/
In any case, that's a good selection, assuming Ramsey is fully fit. Not feeling too bad about today tbh. Not sure why though, lol.
Song's pass for Downing was beautiful. He's always had those.

Massive weekend for Palace, in a good way.
Potentially terrible weekend for Arsenal.
Hope Aguero's fit.

Walcott over OX I think you mean. I am guessing it is gonna be Ox on the right and Sanchez on the left with Cazorla as the 10 today.
Although who knows what Wenger is thinking today
No. Would play Ox as the 10 and Walcott on the right. Pace and muscle on the break.

Arsenal win would be fine.
agreed

I don't think Ox has ever played there. Plus Ox is a lot better at coming on for the last 20 minutes with fresh leagues, he can drift out of games when he starts.
true
Actually I wouldn't play him as a 10, I'd play him deeper in the centre where I know he has played.
But this is Arsene.
gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say Arsenal will have most the possession, maybe nick one but will be done on the counter with happy Hector gallivanting forward leaving Per more exposed than King Lear facing the storm
maybe chuck in a comical set piece goal for chuckles
3-1 City
easy cheesy

I would definitely do that if he ad Ramsey were more disciplined and drop Coq. Ox does a great job tracking back and taking part with defensive duties. Part of the reason why he drifts out of games if he is on the wing.
Innit. Doesn't have a tactical plan, doesn't adapt to different matches. Just tells his players to go out there and kick a ball around and see what happens.
He'd make a dynamite little league coach.

Don't want Ox anywhere near the defence with his CM distribution. I do think your initial idea was fair, though I'd have Alexis #10 and Ox left in that scenario.
In any case, Santi has been brilliant over the past 6/7 weeks, so he was always going to start.
im sure dortmund would embrace him

Happy with that Hammers win.
We have a much better spirit this season. In previous season if we'd had that first half we wouldn't have been able to turn things around.
Four points away from traditional 'safety' already. It'll be interesting to see how far we'll go this season. I'm hoping a decent finish to the season and our new budget from June onwards will allow us to buy one or two star players.

I genuinely don't understand why anyone would predict anything other than a City win
At home, looks like their first 11 minus Toure and Nasri (Demichelis is better than Mangala), 11 points better than Arsenal. And Arsenal's record in these games is shocking, no?

Zaza and Berardi are such an entertaining pair to watch. It's too bad they'll both be sitting on the bench together for Juve.
I told you guysWish I didn't praise their defence((

Its a shame Mangala isn't starting, I would have liked to see Sanchez make him dizzy.
Also, David Silva has been in England like 4 years and still doesn't do interviews in English??

Cazorla's in really good form at the moment, when Walcott's played he looks really rusty.

Everyone surely recognise this photo, but I've never actually heard the reason for him to do it. I mean, there's no way you get that far in football not knowing that its against the rules

They won't find one of those in Italy. Fly away, little falcons.I fucking love them
I think they're both ready for a big team
Too bad it cant be Juve then.
Paddy Power paid him to do it.

He was trying to get himself sent off.

Maybe he thought they cheekily rolled the ball like Man Utd use to do with corners
Any team bigger than Sassuolo would do actually
At Man City away, I would probably try and cede possession and hit them on the counter, knowing all four of their defenders are vulnerable to pace and quickness of movement. I'd certainly have started Walcott.

Didn't he want to get sent off as a protest or something to do with player earnings?

People in the Marvel movies universe thread have claimed right to make the OTs up to the year 2019
I can safely say I like the movies (all of them) more than most people, and I can understand the appeal of making OTs, but some people go too far
hahaahha
are you fucking kidding me.
bloody hell.

Looool. Perhaps we should start claiming the AC and COD OTs up to 2020
Our defenders are also vunerable to passing, crossing, shooting, set pieces, movement and themselves. Allowing city the ball basically gives them time and space because the midfield and defence don't work as a group, and leave huge gaps. Only way arsenal can win is if city are immensly wasteful, and spicy chile goes suarez mode again.
