Seems odd timing if Rose has had another hissy fit. He seemed to be back in line pre international break, head down, working hard...doesn’t sound great but wouldn’t necessarily say it’s the end...

Anyway back to what actually matters, COME ON YOU SPURS!!!!

Well to be fair it's what Sky Sports presenters at the Emirates just said

Do you ever pluck a scenario out of thin air that's positive?

I do, it's just people focus on the posts where I have concerns.

The Rose situation is probably nothing but it does look suspicious from the outside. The fact that he didn't even make the bench (barring an injury) is suspicious in itself.

I understand this but Arsenal play in a different way to Madrid, their style of football is quick passing and possession based and through central midfield, this is why I am concerned.

Not sure about that, they both like to have possession of the ball and leave space in behind which we can exploit with pace which is why I presume he is picked.

"Rose isn't injured, hasn't travelled with the squad and is training today with other players not involved".

Sounds like bridges have been burnt.

Don't like the look of that CM pairing at all.

Better not strengthen Man U like Chelsea did with Matic. Better get a player in return.

In fairness who would we take off Man Ure that they would let us have, who would be worth a shit?

I was going off what sky sports suggested, not that they are reliable but it makes sense considering what happened with Walker and Roses comments during the window.

Why bring him back, play him and then drop him?

If rose news is true he needs to be sold in Jan, had enough - just before season started and now before one of our biggest games of the season - NLD.

Just hope its not true...!

Anyway, now to the game COYS - we need a big performance as they will be up for this unfortunately due to all the hype around us

AH, it's not a CM pairing, it's the hybrid CM3 with Sissoko and Eriksen hubbing off Dembele. Would still rather see Winks (or me) out there instead of Sissoko, but hey ho.

Sissoko's touch is criminally bad for a professional footballer. He's all shins.

That's my point, Poch clearly thinks Davies is first choice and rightly so for now, he wants Danny to earn his way back into the squad as first choice.

There are only two explanations as to why he would not make the bench or the squad, he is either injured/fatigued or has kicked up a stink about not being selected and had a fallout.

I can't think of any other scenario?

Poor from Dier. Hopefully that's a lesson
