Got a strange feeling Walcott is going to score winning goal on Saturday.

You heard it here first.

{Ed007's Note - We call that 'a whitey' up here.}

Bond,
Just Googled it.

"Under the influence of drugs or drink".

Lol, sounds right 😂.

{Ed007's Note - :-D

It's usually both.

24 May 2017 01:11:50
We used to call it a wrighty lol.

24 May 2017 06:29:50
I have a strange feeling i am going to win the lotto every week, usually just turns out to be wind :)

Surely Mertesacker will play in the cup final against Chelsea making a back 3 of Mertesacker Mustafi and Holding.
I know we could and probably should use Monreal instead of Mertesacker but if Arsene thinks he's worth a new contract then surely he has to play him with both Gabriel and Kos out, if not it make a total mockery of handing him the contract at all.

23 May 2017 19:22:14
Gunner I think monreal will play. Mert has been signed for his dressing room presence and he can dish the lucozade out on Saturday it going to be a warm day. Seriously he can't play.

23 May 2017 19:40:50
It would make sense to play Monreal Steve but apart from handing out drinks what exactly is Mertesacker being paid millions​ to do if not play?
Given our injuries in his position the board should be asking that question if he doesn't play.

23 May 2017 20:12:43
I do believe we have had a back three of holding, mustaffi and monreal, when mert has been available. I might be wrong. Mustaffi mert and monreal would scare me with the lack of pace. I think i'd rather bellerin play center back than mert.

23 May 2017 20:47:47
It's down to Mustafi's fitness, if he's ok to play then Mertesacker will be on the bench.

23 May 2017 22:39:09
Ox is 80% - may be replace Ox and Theo as we will need effort everywhere plus a little something special and Ox has done well this season in both of those areas.

23 May 2017 23:12:15
I'm not talking about sentiment SY mate I'm talking about financially responsibility for the clubs money mate.
We pay millions per year to 5 CBs Gabriel Kos Mustafi Holding and Mertersaacker, we want to play 3 CBs at the back and the first two CBs are unavailable.
If you have a company electrician available but you don't think he's any good so instead you ask the company carpenter to do some rewiring, why exactly are you employing the electrician?

24 May 2017 05:28:45
Per won't be "match fit" so way too slow physically and mentally.
Get your point 62.

24 May 2017 06:44:53
I believe it may depend upon the fitness of Gibbs. If he is fit he can play the left wing back role and Monreal drop into the back three. If not Mertesacker may play. This wouldn't concern me too much as he would be less vulnerable to pace in the three man defensive system.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the people who were murdered and injured in Manchester.

23 May 2017 10:27:56
the world we live in where every few days someone has to die due to some skewed up ideology forced on us.

23 May 2017 10:32:46
RIP to those poor people and condolences to their families.

23 May 2017 13:34:24
Spot on Malaga, I woke up with a tear in my eyes this morning after seeing those horrific events.

23 May 2017 15:32:32
How you believe that walking into a group of young kids and detonating a nail bomb is going to achieve anything is beyond comprehension.

I seem to have spent a life time seeing what vile things one human being can do to another and for what.

Thoughts to those families who have lost someone and to those who are still fighting for life and to the young people who have seen things no child should see.

23 May 2017 16:33:18
As many of you know, I am from the middle east. I am not only deeply saddened by events such as these, I am also very ashamed.

I am not going to insult anyone on here who is religious with my views on religion, but I will say this. When any person can carry out an atrocity like this in the name of religion, it is time for all followers of said religion to take a good, hard look at themselves and question their faith.

My heart goes out to every family that has felt loss due to this and other acts of mindless terrorism.

23 May 2017 16:45:53
Well said sharpie.

23 May 2017 16:28:54
I think both sets of fans attending the match on Saturday should lay a memorial at a wembley statue.
I have posted the same request on the Chelsea site. We are with you Manchester.

23 May 2017 17:05:24
Well said sharpie mate.

23 May 2017 17:41:29
You have nothing to be ashamed of sharpie. There are good people and bad people! Let's hope that if anything comes of these atrocities it that it brings community's and peoples of different faiths closer. We can't let it divide us. If they have a problem maybe they should go to the war zone and fight it out like men not cowerdly vermin who want to blow up innocent children.

23 May 2017 19:26:30
The sooner these loonies are erradicated the better. i'm not religious, it is the biggest excuse for radicals to hide behind to cause carnage than anything on earth.

23 May 2017 19:32:48
Thanks chaps, when it's your home city it's even more raw than other outrages - it could have easily been me or my family. I knew people who were there who are thankfully ok. There are some sick people in this world.

23 May 2017 21:00:07
Well said Sharpie.

23 May 2017 23:06:47
Sometimes human being makes me sick and sometimes make me feel very humbled.

I just cannot work out how a man walks into a space full of kids to kill and seriously harm them. Bring back the death penalty. Tired of this shit. I just watched pictures of young children who have been killed. An 8 year old for Christ sake

Thoughts and prayers with all of them and hope the ones missing are found safe and sound.

🙏.

Just to take a break from the Wenger in/ out stuff, what was your favourite moment of the season?

23 May 2017 06:21:11
Beating Man City against the odds to reach the FA Cup final.

23 May 2017 07:02:29
That magical goal from Ozil when he dribbled about four players in the UCL group stage.

23 May 2017 07:13:39
Seeing kdb cross a ball. :)

23 May 2017 07:58:03
Beating Chelsea, it seriously made me stop and re-evaluate my opinion of the current Arsenal team and set up for a bit.

23 May 2017 08:53:42
Il tell you next week ed.

23 May 2017 10:14:10
Ozil nutmegging Kante.

23 May 2017 20:15:26
Beating lincoln. Well not necessarily beating them but playing them.
