Even though he's a super athlete I'd really like us to find a way to rest Rice, if we are somehow in a good winning position we should take him off.

HomeSteak

Meh, no injuries pls

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

By the way, when are we going to make the Emirates a fortress? I feel like our away form has been better for yonks.

Qwiss

Big Willie @Claudius has it wrong, the game is at 5:30

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert hopefully that stays true on Wednesday

Big Willie

Wtf kind of timing is this for a Saturday game?

Big Willie

Qwiss @Claudius has it wrong, the game is at 5:30

Ah, that makes sense. Now that I look at it again seems Claudius wrote it correctly, I didn't notice the GMT originally.

Claudius

Big Willie yeah. I always write my items GMT. Assume it’s easier for those not in England to work out relative to their own time zones. And I’d like to think locals know their time relative to GMT. Happy to switch if easier for everyone

Arteta was on form at the pre game presser

Qwiss

flobaba why are they asking Arteta about TIFOs 😆 These journalists are embarrassing.

flobaba

I love him as a person. As a competitor. He wants it. Bad. Good things usually happen to folks like this. Happy to back him and let him have another go at it. Frustrating season. I can only imagine how he feels right now. But like he said, hopefully the club takes the learnings on board. Squad depth. Quality depth. Special players win you more games. Let's spend another 300mill this window. Come on Stan, you can do it! 🙂

Expect this to be a rotated side again. Will be watching as nothing better to do...

I would like to see:
Raya
White-Saliba-Kiwior-Tierney
Partey-Zinchenko
Nwaneri
Saka-Merino-Trossard

Arteta will probably go with:
Raya
White-Saliba-Kiwior-Tierney
Partey-Rice
Zinchenko
Martinelli-Merino-Trossard

Hopfully Nwaneri gets a start and we don't get any injuries as we still in with a chance in the semi final tie.

I have to say Calafiori has been a massive disappointment this season. Love the way he plays and his goals but he is so unreliable he is looking like a very bad buy in that sense.

Claudius

Nah, keep it at GMT. Its what time zone the local game is being played in. The rest of us can figure it out. Lol.

Big Willie

Claudius I’d like to think locals know their time relative to GMT.

I get that. It's just sometimes we see people start threads with the time it is in London, other times in GMT etc. It's no big deal anyways. Just something that threw me off a little as I thought you meant London time originally.

Claudius

Qwiss nothing sells like ridiculing Arsenal. Just a chance to drag us.

Qwiss

USArsenal games not being played at 4:30 local time though. Its BST now rather than GMT.

USArsenal

Qwiss Daylight Savings time i assume? Lol. I just meant whatever time it is being played locally in England. 😃 I always know what time our games are on here in the 'States

Panda

USArsenal Yeah technically we are GMT+1 now. As clocks went forward end of March.

QuincyAbeyie

Timber injured?

Qwiss

QuincyAbeyie minor injury picked vs PSG apparently.

Qwiss

Strong team. Rightly so. We need to win this with tougher PL fixtures coming up. Dropping below second would be hugely embarrassing.

Panda

Good team. Let's hope they can play themselves into form before Wednesday.

Hope Timber ok.
