[Simplesimon]

Well good evening folks & just heard some BREAKING NEWS!!!! Oh wow trust me cos you'll never believe this......... Excepting for Nasri, HRH Bendtner, Ramsey & Frimpong we are practically up to FULL STRENGTH!!!!!
WTF is happening i feel ashamed & humiliated by this ridiculous turn of events & shall be complaining most vocally to the medical depatment of AFC
Any how this shouldn't last too long as we visit our friend Fat Sam & the Cloggers Whooppee!
I guess that the biggest question is how does the MF & Strikers line up? I'm gonna go with this:

Almunia

Sagna Koscielny Vermaelan Clichy

Song Diaby

Fabregas

RvP Chamack Rosicky

Subs: Walcott, Arshavin, Eboue, Wilshire, Eboue, Fabianski, Djourou

[Nasri_ftw]

If I was at AW place...

Almunia
Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Clichy
Song
Fabregas, Diaby/Rosicky(can't decide)
Walcott, Chamakh, Van Persie

ARSENAL TEAM

Almunia, Sagna, Koscinely, Vermaelen, Clichy; Fabregas, Song, Diaby; Walcott, van Persie, Arshavin.
Subs: Fabianski, Gibbs, Eboue, Rosicky, Wilshere, Vela, Chamakh.

Cant understand why Wenger has dropped Chamakh? His power in the air would be helpful today

[Gaffer]

Half Time 1-1 (Walcott)

RVP taken off injuryed after 25mins

What was Koscinely doing for the Blankburn goal FFS

[Gaffer]

Full time 2-1 ( Walcott. Arshavin )

Massive win for us today. A real battle and we hung on at the end and showed real fight

[EduGaspar17]

Starters
Manuel Almunia - 7
Bacary Sagna - 7.5
Thomas Vermaelen - 7
Laurent Koscielny - 5.5
Gael Clichy - 6.5 (Thought he performed really well, would have been a 8 if not for the lapse of concentration which led to the goal conceded)
Alex Song - 6
Abou Diaby - 7 (He had quite a good game to be honest. I felt he had improved his defensive side of game tremendously and had balanced his play well)
Francesc Fabregas - 6 (Gave away possession cheaply far too many times, improved in the 2nd half though)
Theo Walcott - 8
Andrei Arshavin - 6.5
Robin Van Persie - 6

Substitute
Marouane Chamakh - 6.5
Tomas Rosicky - 6 (Really felt for him. Brilliant in the last 2 games but dropped for this game)
Jack Wilshere - N.A

[Gaffer]

Almunia : 8/10, Full credit to Almunia today. Made a few good saves and when he needed to come for balls he did.

Sagna : 8/10, Back to his best. Great run for the 2nd goal and was well up for the fight.

Koscinely : 6/10, At fault for the blackburn goal and didnt show enough strength or pace to deal. Apart from that he did ok

Vermaelen : 7/10, Pretty solid and looked up for it.

Clichy : 7/10, Decent game from our flying left back.

Fabregas : 6.5/10, Didnt look fit, passing was all over the place. But he needs playing time.

Song : 7/10, Battled for the team and won the ball back. But his passing at times is very poor.

Diaby : 8.5/10, GREAT game from the big man. Won all the 50/50s and some great runs and passing.

Walcott : 9/10 [MOTM] For the 2nd week in a row, Man of the match. Great goal and great start to the season. A real handful who they couldn’t deal with.

van Persie : 6/10, Set up the first goal and then the glass ankles did what they always do. Went off injured after 30mins.

Arshavin : 7/10, Was pretty poor, but then popped up in the box and took his goal well. After that he looked up for it.

Subs
Rosicky -7/10 Replaced Cesc ( Wanted to see him start, Has looked very good this season)

Wilshere - 6/10 Replaced Arshavin ( Should have scored to kill the game off. Keep the ball well)

Chamakh - 7,5/10 Replaced RVP ( Worked the line and his link up play was world class)
