What's all this stiff about ozil joining man united in January? Have I just fallen into the dark side of twitter?

id say Mourinho would probably do it just to try sicken Wenger and Arsenal. Not sure where he'd fit in that United team unless Mata or Mkhitaryan were shifted.

I'd do a swap for Mkhitaryan all day long!

Little help lads thinking of going to be my 1st game at the emirates either before or after christmas,

What's the best way getting tickets with good seats and travel wise getting from Shannon to the Emirtates never been since the highbury days so not really familiar with the rigmarole

I’d say become a red member to get tickets. Last time I was in London I flew from Knock to Stanstead, got the national express to Stratford station (which is also a tube and train stop) and stayed a 10 minute walk away in a Travelodge. It’s actually fairly close to the Olympic stadium but the Emirates isn’t too far by tube

I tried to get tickets for the spurs game last week but had no chance with red membership, by the time the waiting circle had got anyway near 12 o clock the page refreshed that it was sold out

The Telegraph: Arsene Wenger can signal end of Arsenal's culture of impunity by dropping Granit Xhaka. http://google.com/newsstand/s/CBIw75H4sTY

Very true. Xhaka should be dropped and earn his place back. I think our main problem is what are the alternatives? Jack and Rambo midfield?

Well obviously most of the big games will be gone before they even get to red. I’m not sure do they hold any back for red members or just let silvers snap them all up if they want them

Im sure they hold back a certain amount for red.

Im in London 1st-4th Dec...im hoping I can get a United ticket

Royale with Cheese

They hold back something like 1500 tickets to each game for red members, to entice the many numbers of them into renewing for the next year. I got upgraded to silver last year after about 8 years as a red member, can't be bothered going to games anymore now though.

Could be a disaster defensively but no worst than our non existent midfield now.

Funny how most fans pointed out the cm as weak before the season started. And of course nothing was done to address it.

Jack and Rambo doesn’t work. We’ve seen it loads of times before.

How long since Xhaka was the answer to all our problems? :pac:
He's a brainless no-mark. Have I been proven right yet? :P

Big game against Everton tomorrow. Need to win, especially with Huddersfield's first league win over Utd since 1952. Also a draw between the spuds and Liverpool would be nice too!

He showed a lot of promise last year, but has gone backwards. But he's not the only one this year either!

Have we? I can't really remember any extended period where they've played together in central midfield.

Obviously not in the last 3 years, but before that. And it was an unmitigated disaster.

25 year old Jack Wilshere and 26 year old Aaron Ramsey are very different specimens though.

I always thought the two of them would be the heart of our midfield, and Ramsey would be captain, and Jack VC

Urgh. Booked something to do with the kids today and forgot about the match. Gone are the days when I checked when Arsenal were playing before making arrangements.

Strong line up. Bring it on.

Alfred Borden

Thats our best team in fairness.

greendom

Looking forward to see how Ozil, Lacazette and Sanchez work together. Jack deserves his place on the bench. Hope he gets a few minutes

Hyzepher

That squad should be performing better. On paper as strong as any team. Whether they show up is another question

I disagree.

I think thats part of the problem.

Average players been hyped up.

greendom

Promising start. Should be ahead

Skylinehead

Should have been a penalty really.

greendom

Showing some great movement going forward

We are playing nice football.

greendom

Typical. What was Xhaka at there. Too slow

omega man

Rooney, had to be didn’t it.

Skylinehead

Of ****ing course.

Wheeliebin30

Standard rooney.

Skylinehead

Xhaka again. He'll never wake up.

newbie2

Shocking from Xhaka, man was on him and he was too pedestrian. Still see us getting a few goals if we stay positive.

Standard Xhaka too

DarraghF197

Gueye didn't touch the ball don't know how tbf that wasn't a foul.

Edit: okay maybe slightly!

Wheeliebin30

Man first.

Of course commentators say no penalty.

AdamD

Xhakas a horrific footballer but that's just a clear foul

greendom

It was a foul in fairness. Gueye's knee brought down Xhaka.

Deeper Blue

How is Xhaka still starting? I'd probably prefer Coq at this stage.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Not this **** again.

Rambo involved in everything positive going forward

Our play has disappeared since the goal. Now pedestrian and hesitant
