Well it's good that he has given the front 3 from the Reading game another chance together, they all played very well and looked dangerous in that game.

Funny that, I bet Theo first GS and it finish 3-1. :cool:

Jamie Redknapp, tongue firmly out of cheek, just said that Theo Walcott "has it all"

Why is this mad man on my television screen?

Jax Teller

Can't understand why Wigan don't just change formation with all their injuries .

Mars Bar

Good save from the keeper

tayto lover

Some of our players need to wake up and get with the pace of the game.

Jax Teller

Kone what are you doing

Mickeroo

What a let off!

ollie1

Kone should have buried that.

Mars Bar

That could have been a nasty one for Wilshere

cson

Game needs Giroud.

They're absolutely mullocking us out of it. Not letting us have a kick, fair play to them.

Mars Bar

Why didn't McCarthy join the Wigan attack there after laying off the ball?

He's not even on the bench, sick or something.

We haven't played too badly so far, just Wigan are doing their job pretty well at the moment.

MagicMarker

Stupid yellow, perfect tackle.

applehunter

Arsenal could do with a few more Wiltshire's out there.

They are all standing off.

What was that yellow card for? Hitting the ball too hard?

wonga77

great tackle by Wilshere there, not a foul never mind a yellow

Was a perfectly good tackle

Yellow card for a great tackle

cson

Ah **** off, that was a cracking tackle.

Ball then man.

Benimar

Playing centre half allegedly.

Think you got it mixed up. Mars Bar was talking about the tackle where the studs were on Jacks ankle.

Not that one. He turned over on his ankle before that.

His tackle there is as good a tackle you'll see. Pathetic from the ref!

cson

And **** off again ref.

They've been doing that hounding to us all game, the one time we do it back its a free.

**** off.

Nemanja91

Jesus Beasujour couldn't cross a ball to save his life.

Soups123

How many more fouls on Jack before a card comes out.

Ah that's why. They must be badly stuck for centre halves!

cson

0-0 HT.

Kind of wish I was there right now, the pies at The DW were amazing last year.

HazDanz

Pull the finger out lads... Wilshere only one getting stuck in

AdamD

If Wilshere gets a 2nd yellow after that I think I might explode

Great tackle, ref gives free as it looked too tough. Joke of a decision.

wonga77

Walcott should have scored

Mars Bar

Al Habsi to the rescue again

AdamD

That wall was about 7 yards away, ref is so incompetent.

Not really, it was an extremely weak effort that any keeper would be expected to save


Arsenal really do not like it up them, few lads out there not rising to the battle. Upset very much on here if Wigan continue to believe.

wonga77

Pen Arsenal!

wonga77

Arteta boom!

Andersonisgod

Certain dive.

Jax Teller

Good play by Walcott there could have easily let it go for a throw in .

revz

Walcott did well to get in front of your man, possibly a bit harsh on him but I think there was a tangle of legs.
1-0 anyway, relief! (well, kind of)

I really don't think that was a penalty..

I'm pretty sure it was or else Wigan have some questions to answer for letting him have such a free shot.

Fuhrer

What the ****?

Did the ref just make Di Santo stand in the corner for talking back to him?

WoollyRedHat

The naughty step for the Premier League lol @Guardian.

Lovely save.

super_furry

Always thought we should have the sin-bin in football.

wonga77

Ramsey on for Ox, Wenger looking to keep this at 1-0

Rekop dog

Stams crosses today have been beyond tragic.
