I see Wilshere is just a sub sub again today. Do you guys think he's coming back? Do we want him back?

I'd take him on the basis that he always puts in a shift when he's fit and he genuinely loves the club. A positive influence to have around the place.

Take him back and send Ramsey there instead like should have been the case in the 1st place

My tuppence worth. I always thought wilshire was twice the player Ramsay ever was. I genuinely think arsenal would be 8 points better off this season had he been a starter.

If Wilshere stayed at Arsenal this season, I doubt he would have even played 8 games before getting a season ending injury.

In fairness Ramsey is hardly a shining beacon of fitness either

There's a van carrying a billboard driving down various motorways before today's game, protesting against Wenger Makes the planes look less embarrassing.

Xhaka -Coq midfield. Özil back.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Fully expect Xhaka and Coq to be completely over run in mid. Weak.

Roddy23

Haven't watched City in ages but they're lining up with a midfield of Silva, KDB, Sterling, Sane and Navas. Does that seem like their normal lineup or is Pep going all out attack on us? Actually looking forward to this match. With Ozil back, think we'll get the win.

The optimism is what kills you. Don't do this to yourself.

Ha I know. Just looking forward to a game of ball too though.

I honestly couldn't give a f*** anymore.

Sh*te that it's come to this.

A meaningless match really. Even if we win we'll only fück it up against a West Brom or a Swansea anyways. Fighting for fourth and fifth place in the league when you're the fifth richest club in the WORLD.

I personally think the club needs change but to lower yourself to banners and planes is pathetic tbh.

More of the same really.

Maybe it's just me but I never like seeing teams mingling and hugging and having a laugh before a game. Doesn't really sit right

wandatowell

Was there a protest before today's game?

wandatowell

Wow. Them empty seats.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

We're making this really easy for city.

Whoa. Thought that was in.

Ah, now it is in.....Just the wrong end

Empty seats dont really matter. I was talking to someone a week or two ago whose Dad is a season ticket holder. He's frustrated with the current situation and won't go to games but won't give up his ticket. The money is still rolling in so doesnt matter if the place is 90% empty - the finances are still healthy.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

****ing lol.

First aguero, then sterling then the same ball for sanè. Wow we are utterly VILE. Can't defend for peanuts.

Get the F out wenger.

wonga77

That didn't take long, ****in hell

**** off Wenger. Seriously just **** off. ****ing pathetic shower of bastards.

sonic85

Sane is a lovely player

brianregan09

Could be looking at another 5-1 here ......depressing

wonga77

Great finish it must be said but even though it's early the warning signs were there, gonna be a good few goals today id say

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Three balls through the middle 1v1s on Ospina already. It's laughably bad. I'm so utterly dejected and beaten down. I'll take any manager over this shít.

Alfred Borden

Mustafi - Wengers worst ever signing.

With a little luck, Navas will get a second yellow before half time.

No idea how özil wasn't given a foul right in front of their box

Quazzie

Ospina was terrible for the goal.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Should be 2-0

Yeah 2 fouls already, we should be bringing everything down that side and run at him

sonic85

Shambolic stuff at the minute

Yea, get them down to 10 men, then we might only concede 4 goals. Good thinking.

And the attack before.

I quite like Bellerins manbun

Quazzie

Harsh with the yellow for Coq there. Minimal contact.

Fairly typical Coquelin really. Said to my mate there that him or Xhaka will likely get themselves sent off for **** all.

Reminds me of when Gary and Phil Neville were opposing captains and Gary wouldn't even look at Phil in the tunnel.

wandatowell

Any sign of Walcott yet?

sonic85

Jesus Christ this game has been dire so far. Fcuking hell

Arsenal actually look like there's something wrong with them when it comes to decision making.

And passing

Walcott has shown decent desire, dire execution

sonic85

I like Xhaka but he's a massive liability. What a stupid tackle
