Gringo Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 On current form (last 8 games) - arse have a rather poor 1.25 points per game - nearly as bad as ours. But seeing as three of those points came from the manure game when they actually remembered they had something to fight for that's slightly distorted. So discounting that match, we're on slightly better form, and so I fully expect the boys in Claret and Blue to hand them a good spanking today.

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Arguably the best team we could have picked, would have liked to seen Cuellar start though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I'm pleased we have gone with three central midfielders, but why the **** is Pires on the bench over Bannan again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Nor is Agbonlahor or Makoun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaRoy Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Szczesny, Sagna, Vermaelen, Squillaci, Gibbs, Song, Wilshere, Walcott, Ramsey, Arshavin, Van Persie - Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 No Nasri or Fabregas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sani Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Cant believe Heskey is on the bench after his psycho outburst on the ref last weekend. GMac must be retarded still playing Dunne/Collins. Where are Delfouneso and Makoun?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symmouk Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Squillaci, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Ramsey, Song, Wilshere, Walcott, V Persie, Arshavin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted May 15, 2011 Moderator Share Posted May 15, 2011 Disappointed with that bench. I'm disappointed with any bench that has Pires on it. He's approaching the age where the only time you'd expect to see his name on a bench is on a brass plaque. 4-5-1 for us, I assume Arsenal will do the same - it'll be a big test for Delph and Reo Coker covering our defence today.

Cue Arshavin blinder, he only seems to have them against us lately. Least there's no Fabregas or Nasri in the starting eleven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaRoy Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Don't get not including Makoun, if there was one game I would pick him to play in, it would be against Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted May 15, 2011 Moderator Share Posted May 15, 2011 Delph and Wilshere should be tasty - he's a nasty little shit that Wilshere. The bench is just daft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true Let's hope we can have some Delph specials, and make them feel uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baalberith Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Pires instead of Makoun? Dunne (after his shocker last week) ahead of Cuellar? G Mac never fails to enhance his reputation as a complete and utter twunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Bench should be: Marshall, Collins, Petrov, Bannan, Albrighton, Agbonlahor, Delfouneso. (Cuellar/Makoun starting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true Let's hope we can have some Delph specials, and make them feel uncomfortable. Didn't Delph start in our 3-0 away loss at Emirates last season? I forget if he started or came on as a sub. Lets hope indeed, be nice to see a top performance from him today, start to live up to the money we paid for him as an 18 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWindle Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Don't get not including Makoun, if there was one game I would pick him to play in, it would be against Arsenal. Have to agree, a bit of stylish quick passing, eespecially with us loading more in the midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
