50/1

How many of that Arsenal team will play tonight 4/5? & that was Wigans one & only PL win over Arse.

[ONeill]

Try not to take posts so seriously my good man.

[ross4life]

8 changes for Arse tonight

[ONeill]

Fabianski,
Eboue, Squillaci, Koscielny, Sagna,
Diaby, Rosicky, Denilson,
Bendtner, Chamakh, Arshavin.

Subs: Szczesny, Nasri, Vela, Walcott, Wilshere, Djourou, Clichy.

Mad changes. Van Persie out because he played a match! Thought Djourou was fantastic v Chelsea. I understand the need for rest but I'd've thought the confidence from 2 nights ago was enough reason to keep a very similar team.

Mad Changes alright - this is the time to ride the crest of the wave. Squillachi gives me the shits sometimes, very poor looking across the midfield in comparison to what we just played.

Well, time will tell.

Wigan make just one change sure to be fatigued compared to the fresh gooners side.

[ONeill]

Ooooh v controversial. Wigan player takes a dive in the box. Penalty scored.

[ross4life]

Watched the replay 4 times, the slightest of touches from the arse defender tripped the Wigan man, correct decision by the ref.

[ONeill]

Watch it a 5th time and you'll see that the fictional contact was outside the box.

1-1.

[ONeill]

2-1. Arshavin takes the piss for 40 mins, then scores a screamer and sets up Bender.

[ONeill]

2-1 up at HT.

Very sluggish for the first half hour. Wilshere then came on for Diaby, why not sure, and Arsenal started to physically impose themselves. Wigan were rocky towards the end and Arsenal could easily have been two or three up. Chamackh ropey first touch.

[ross4life]

I thought that was poor pass by arshavin that fell kindly to Bender. Wigan are piss poor Arse should win this at a canter.

[gerry]

only 4 more goals to go then
