Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
Lennon and Ade have travelled for the Inter match. Deuce still out.

Strong team from Wenger tonight, it's dumb shoving Fabianski in but he's dropped Vermaelen as well so he's dishing out punishment to the shit players. Nobody in that front 6 can make a tackle though.

Also thank fuck Wenger finally dropped Vermaelen and Chesney. I'm tired of their bullshit.
I think Vermaelen is just resting his ankle. Wenger is not taking any chances with players who are not 100%.

Szczesny has clearly been dropped though.


What do you mean? like who could have played instead of them?
Aside from the 3 players I mentioned this team is about as weak as it can get. Short of being a little too obvious by playing reserve players.

No Podolski, Sagna, Wilshere, Szczesny, Vermaelen and Cup tied Monreal. Thats 6 of the starting 11 players all not playing.

I dunno, that's basically the best team we can field. Everyone else is either cup-tied or injured. When I think weakened, I think... uhhh Squillaci? :lol

Honestly, it'd be nice to see Arshavin get a start once in a while too; he and Rosicky are good players that are fucking terrible when shoved out on the wing.
 
Arshavin will come off the bench, and score two goals to put Arsenal through.

I think you'll find if the score was 3-1 to us heading into this game a lot of those "injured" players would be miraculously able to play. Wenger is clearly just letting them rest because he knows this match will only go one way.

My all-time favorite burger joint is a place called Kuma's Corner in Chicago. It's fucking amazing. We had to wait over 3 hours to be seated once but it was totally worth it. Up to 5 hour waits are not uncommon.

Anyway, their flagship burger has an egg on it.

For me personally, I get a fried egg over hard break the yolk.

That's true. Wenger and his fucking fitness gambles, ruining many a season. They never work anyways.

I once spent £12 on a single burger. How much did this cost you

I was told today that Buesquets is an average DM made to look better by the team around him :(

I thought he was one of the best DMs in the world if not the best :(

Another conservative old man. At least he's from somewhere different.

That is the default formula for our whole team though. Remember?

Pep is only good because his team is the best, any coach can win with those guys.
Messi is only good because of Xavi and Iniesta.
Xavi is overrated, Iniesta does all the creative work, Xavi just just passes sideways.
Busquets is just a diver who does 5m passes, he only looks good at Barca.

I have heard all of those and more. You really wonder how we are so good with so many bad players. :p

What about Insieta? Michael Cox says he's overrated as fuck.
