For me weds is a one game shoot out. Its not about form or what other teams are doing, its about winning the group and unlike the league, where if you rely on luck too much it eventually catches up with you, I for one won't mind on weds if we are dire and have all the luck in the world or we are brilliant, we must win the top spot. i'm not interested in playing great and failing, we just have to do it and then move on to sunday. Where our form has to pick up.

Totally agree mate, 3 points however we get them is the order of the day and then getting some genuine form going.

Hearing Cazorla has gone to Spain for treatment on his Achilles is a concern, would seem he's weeks away from a return.

Wenger needs to decide whose going to fill that role next to Coquelin and stick with it because as yet Elneny, Xhaka and Ramsey have not played well and they are the likely candidates.

After a bright start we have, despite being undefeated since Liverpool, not been convincing.

{Ed025's Note - i think you are being a bit harsh there red dog, for me arsenal have played well in most games and been very entertaining, you want to try being an evertonian mate then you would have something to moan about.. :)

Yeah you've done well to still moan about something there Red. I think the personal element of facing Man U and Jose without winning again has magnified our fan's frustrations to be fair but I'd still say we are on course to have a good season - whether we do or not is another question but the signs really aren't that bad.

Agree red we haven't been convincing at all, so we need to start being a few more times.

Poor red dog can't win.

Gents that was not a moan more of I don't want us or more so Wenger arsing about, i want us back at the Chelsea level and nailing teams like the spuds and more so a woeful United.

Even at our worst they were still poor as.

I'm not a big fan of Wayne Rooney but I just can't see what the did wrong when on England duty on a team day off, he stayed in the team hotel where a wedding reception was being held and joined in the fun.
I've seen no complaints from the wedding party about him joining them so where is the problem?

{Ed041's Note - mo think its been totally blown out of proportion to g62

Its absolutely ridiculous Ed041 mate, what ever people's personal views about Wayne Rooney as a man or a footballer it doesn't change the fact the man's done absolutely nothing wrong here.

{Ed041's Note - I feel for the lad in this instance mate

and if Jack Wilshere had done the same thing 62?

22 Nov 2016 08:09:37
Jack Wilshere Jack and the bean stalk or jack n Jill the answer would still be the same Red mate, he stayed in the team hotel on a day off and joined in a celebration which as far as I know the happy couple had no problem with, if he'd got drunk in his room alone would that have been ok?
The man had a few drinks with some strangers who most probably considered it the icing on the icing of their wedding cake to have the England captain at their big day.

62 it's not what Rooney did it's what you would have said had it been Wilshere.

Rightly or wrongly Rooney has been touted and regarded as England's Messi/ Ronaldo/ etc for the last decade and quite frankly has never lived up to the hype. If you compare their careers from the time they were both rising stars at Utd, Rooneys has gone downhill and Ronaldo has gone from strength to strength, culminating in leading Portugal to a Euro win. People look and see how immensely fit Ronaldo is and how well he's looked after himself and then look and see Rooney turn up obese at the start of every season and drinking until 5am and rightly imo criticise him for it.
If you asked pretty much every professional Swimmer/ Diver/ Gymnast etc whether they'd stay out drinking until 5am in the middle of their season, they'd laugh right in your face, especially those that compete for their countries. Quite frankly from my point of view, if you're paid £300,000/ week you make sure you don't eat a single calorie more than recommended and refrain from drinking to excess.

You need a quick relief from stress, depression, disappointment due to bizzare arsenal performances, just watch Ozil's solo CL goal. It comes with all the calmness one could ever think off. Hope he repeats it on Wednesday. Absolutely Brilliant!
