  • Arsenal v Sunderland | Premier League | Saturday 5th March 2011 - 15.00

Szczensy, Sagna, Djourou, Koscielny, Clichy, Denilson, Diaby, Wilshere, Nasri, Arshavin, Bendtner

Ramsey on the bench

Think Diabys looked good recently, hope he has a great game today. Its real crunch time in his Arsenal career.

I think he'll be fine too as long as he's not utilised in one of the two central positions.

I'm optimistic about today. That team is well above Sunderland's level and Bendtner seems to have hit form just in time. I think we'll beat them by more than one goal's margin.

Very nervous, can't wait for this to start.

Nasri is captain.

Anyone watching on Setanta Ireland?
Who is that obviously anti Arsenal ball of misery that they have in the studio?

Wilshere playing behind Bendtner.

Diaby and Denilson in midfield, not good.

Nick's looking really bright early on.

Brilliant from Arshavin and Clichy. Unlucky.

Bendtner spoiling every single attack for us 🙁

So far from Diaby and Denilson....
nothing apart from putting pressure on our own defence.

Djourou and Kos driving forward more than either of them.

Djourou is having a mighty game.

So close there from Nasri. Need more of that from him.
Nearly from Bendtner!!

Djourou has been very good so far.

DENILSON! What is he thinking. Does he think?

Denilson and Diaby have been muck. Diaby takes far too many touches before passing it backwards or sideways while Denilson always does that without even looking up. How many 2 yard passes did he play to players in worse positions than him? Drives me crazy.

awful first half, but what can you expect with diaby, denilson and bendtner out there, all doing their best to kill our passing game. arshavin, sagna and clichy aren't doing much to help either.

I don't know what Wenger is thinking. He should know by now that you can't have those two centrally at the same time. Why did he move Wilshere? And why did he sell Denilson to Sunderland without telling anyone about it?
