Arsenal starting 11 against Watford:

Cech, Maitland-Niles, Mustafi, Holding, Kolasinac, Elneny, Xhaka, Mkhitaryan, Ozil, Iwobi, Aubameyang.

I wouldn't put money on them today. Wenger has given up on the top 4 and has AC Milan to play on Thursday. Laurent Koscielny and Aaron Ramsey are not in the matchday squad at all, while Jack Wilshere and Danny Welbeck are on the bench.

They're going to have to rely a lot on Aubameyang when you look at their leading goal scorers:

Well they had previously turned the corner following one win against Fat Sam's awful Everton side.

So now if its taking 2 wins to turn said corner, even the media are losing their optimism..

That probably is where they've got the figure from, but we've got close to 10m on Facebook, and I don't believe for one second we have 10m fans worldwide. Man City's FB page has 31m - there is absolutely no way they have 31m fans. As has been said on other threads these social media pages are often 'liked' and 'followed' by people of follow multiple football teams pages as a means of seeing news content as they are based overseas. I'd argue that of the 37m who have liked Arsenal's page, about 50% have also liked Man City's, and Man Utd's, and Barcelona's etc etc.

There can’t be 37 million ****s on the planet, surely? :D

2018 : All comps 16 matches W.6 L.8 D.2

Massive wins against Palace,Chelsea,Everton,Ostersunds,Milan and Watford.


The only tough one there was Chelsea imo.

Arsenal being very Arsenal here: https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...yang-frustrated-arsenal-europa-league-absence

Basically: "we knew what the rules were when we signed him but we think it's unfair because we spent lots of money on him anyway."

I've got no sympathy for them, but the rules are really strange. Their player is suspended despite not playing in that competition, but Sanchez played in the Champions league for both Ajax and us this season.
I bet that really winds then up :)

By that logic you could say our only tough win in 2018 was Man Utd.

Am I missing something here ... ?

I saw a Wenger interview on Sky Sports this morning , firstly he was talking about Wheelchair and saying he could and should be playing at the World Cup, then he goes on to say he is not giving him an increased wage bundle, he is on £80k per week
and he can more or less take it or leave it.

Then he goes on about Mertesacker saying that he doesn't want to play for the club anymore due to his mental and physical
problems.

All the while Wenger is grinning like an idiot and giving off an attitude of wearing the Emperors new clothes.

Real peculiar.
