No idea if its true or not but a lot of sites saying that Arsenal are trying to cancel KK transfer because of his injury. I'd imagine that must mean that they didn't know he was injured when they agreed to the loan. Bit of a miss by the medical team if that's the case...

That's often what happens when one goes bargain basement shopping at the last minute, lol.

This is all an elaborate ruse to draw attention away from the team and take the pressure off us in the title race.

Monreal has been good for us lately.

Difficult for a left back to stop a goal-scoring centre back with his hands on your back from winning an aerial battle.
Should it have been a foul? Maybe yes, maybe no; but he did have his hands on Monreal, pushing him down.

He has put in a string of solid performances before that and that is why Wenger made him number 1 ahead of Gibbs, for however long that lasts.

Maybe you should have specified which Sunday

Don't think there's any other option than Arteta and Ox in the middle really. Flamini, Ramsey, Wilshere, Diaby, Rosicky all out.

Would like to see a line of Pod-Ozil-Cazorla in front of those two to complete the midfield five.

Arsene knows lol.

Loving the Man U fan who made a complete tit of himself in the match day thread. Loving it.

Said it before and got slated a bit but definitely think Ox could play up top if giroud got injured.

I don't think so. His presence would maybe be around Podolski level. Open to be proved wrong.

I wouldn't slate that anyway but I wouldn't like to have to depend on it immediately and in an emergency.

Hopefully we dont have to see it this season anyways :pac:

Think he spent a good few posts calling the Ox injury prone and "English Diaby" and will never make it.

Then he scores twice.

Unbelievably, he cited Rosicky as the guy who will come on and win it for Arsenal. Rosicky being an actual injury prone player, unlike Ox who picked up a bad impact injury.

This is the start of it, the title is ours ..

Is he United? I defended him a little in the match thread as I thought we were being a bit harsh if he was an Arsenal man.

The post was about a Man United fan.

10 points clear of 5th with 14 games to go is looking good. I know we should be looking to win the league based on where we are currently, but our first target has to be making the top 4.

Good second half, job done hopefully step up a level for next week

I don't like saying that until we've played the same number of games as the team in 2nd. Here's hoping for a good result tomorrow night. Chelsea win or a draw would both be welcome.

Delighted with that win tbh, only saw the 2nd half mind. Ox was very good, always had a good shot on him and has much more potential to become a 15 goal a season man than Rambo and Wilshere IMO. Bit worried about Arteta though, seemed very slow to everything which allowed them to counter a few times. Giroud was poor too.

Alfred Borden

would take the point at liverpool next week

Giroud didn't do much but his 1 -2 with Ox for the second goal was class.

Amazing stat about Koscielny I've just seen on Twitter. Since his sending off against Villa, he hasn't had even a single booking.

Shame Everton won. Would have been damn near perfect so far if they had dropped points too. At least one of City and Chelsea will be dropping points too so it would have been an amazing weekend.

Surely we aren't worried about Everton??

Drexel

Wenger is after clarifying the KK situation. He had a small micro fracture (players play with them all the time) which turned out to be worse. Moscow are sharing the cost after that and he said he'll be back the start of March. It was KK or no one and he said he'll have him for the run in

No thanks. Chelsea and city have easy fixtures that's a must win match.

Im not sure! Anyway we had a bit of craic with it but if he is Arsenal I hope he sees the funny side and we haven't driven him away!

Don't think Everton are relevant to us.

Wenger on Kallstrom: : “It’s simple. He has a ‘micro-fracture. Spartak share the cost as long as he’s injured. I had a choice to make >”

makes sense if we're not paying for him while hes injured

edit: not paying all of his wages anyway

We should go for the win, No point going for a draw.

I'm sure we'll go for the win, but I won't be disappointed with the draw.

Not worried, but it would be nice to eliminate them.

Wenger never sends his team out for a draw.

(Apart from holding by a thread sometimes)

3 points nothing else.

Bayern Munich are on BT Sport... winning 5 - 0.

They're going to be tough to beat.

I do agree to it some extent, but Wenger has been bit more pragmatic this season.

This season he's been different and that is the reason we're top, I've seen him play 5 at the back and make more defensive subs this season to protect our lead, In previous seasons it used to be "go for the kill" and we used to concede so many times with everybody going gung-ho

I would much rather win the Premiership to be honest.

Hopefully not. Chelsea still have a home game against us not too far away remember.

I'd rather a draw, but a City win wouldn't be too bad. They've away games still to Liverpool, United, Everton and most importantly away against us. We can make up the points even if they pull slightly ahead.

Draw and both drop points.

I don't think I'd say I'd much rather win the Premiership, winning the CL would be unbelievable, but I feel we have a much more realistic chance of winning the Premiership.

I know, I was just saying if one team were to win it, I'd rather it be City.
