It'll be like the Alamo again. Why can't Moyes mix it up a bit and give them something to worry about.

[Tomshardware]

Can't see us being able to handle their attacking players. Also Ward Prowse just doesn't have what it takes to be a creative player in the final third. When you add in Soucek then this looks like a car crash waiting to happen.

[paul6565]

"Unfortunately a thorough hammering looks the probable result. Soucek is a disaster again with Phillips sitting on the bench. Johnson playing in midfield, he cannot pass and goes backward at every opportunity, while Cornet sits on the bench. Moyes a fucking dinosaur and the sooner he is gone the better, he is now starting to leave a stench around the place."

[Manuel]

Lose 3-0 and he keeps it the same? How is Phillips meant to get fit? Load of shit.

[claypole]

For a club with alleged top 6 aspirations that bench is poor. We are relying on a set piece today.

[lowlife]

I‚Äôm very anti Moyes and blame much of this on him. He‚Äôs a destroyer of players. Letting players go without any replacements is laughable. Constantly playing players out of position so he can play his favourite is equally laughable. And then you get pundits like Ferdinand throwing his arms up and saying ‚ÄòI don‚Äôt understand what the West Ham fans want‚Äô. What a cսnt.

Bore fest

[Stevethehammer]

That bench just highlights what a massive fuck up the January window was.

[Hammer and Pickle]

OK. I’ll make a start on the ironing

[twoleftfeet]

Arsenal are so confident that they‚Äôve given Jorginho a rest. What‚Äôs the point in getting Phillips if he isn‚Äôt being picked for big games like this? Might as well have stayed at City. Even I‚Äôm bored of our midfield ?üò¥

[marty feldman]

That bench of ours is an absolute disgrace. For a club of our size the issues go way beyond just Moyes .

[Burnhammeronsea]

Same starting line up last week. Hopefully not same result but come on Moyes shake it up a bit.

[wansteadman]

Can't believe they are talking about Antonio being missing being a massive loss. He was dogshit before he got injured and I'm sure a few months out injured won't have changed that

[Sir Alf]

Moyes just been spotted with his old biscuit tin. Shaking it vigorously to get 10 names out of the 13 in tin ( full squad that he could select ) that will support Tommy in todays game.

[Fauxstralian]

"Had the SSN on this morning Spent 20 mins on todays game .... discussion on Arsenal celebrating, interview with Arteta, do Arsenal need a striker blah blah .... without mentioning the other team (*checks fixtures*) West Ham Utd"

[Mex Martillo]

"Yes, most important is to play well and see some good individual and team performances. Similar to ManU, but without the errors to concede would be ok."

[Full Claret Jacket]

"Looking for a big performance today. Not expecting a win, sadly I think we are lost for creativity without Paqueta but we should make it hard for them and at least attack now and then and maybe nick a goal. I don't think I can stand another game where we are just everyone behind the ball for 95mins. I'd drop Soucek and play Cornet on the left. I know he wont but if we were going to have any attacking intent then we need some pace out wide and a player who knows that position."

[twoleftfeet]

"Phillips and Alvarez protecting the back 4, JWP pushed further forward and Bowen, Kudus and Cornet as a front 3. Won’t happen but that would be my choice."

[roltrader]

I fully expect a jolly good spanking

[terry-h]

Claret and Hugh had some nonsense yesterday that Antonio still has knee problems and wanted to go to some Brazilian club who had shown interest in signing him before calling off possible interest in him. Both he and Pacqeta still missing apparently. My prediction- Moyes will fuck things up as usual and lead us to another boring defeat while Sullivan‚Äôs inspiring chairmanship will result in more gossip and inaction surrounding his manager‚Äôs future. I suggest he sacks the cսnt tomorrow and persuades Noble to take over for the rest of the season.

[fraser]

"To be fair we were 2 down last season then woke up and drew 2-2 I'd take that today Would be 4 games unbeaten against them, I doubt we've done that many times."

[Manuel]

"I just hope it's not one of those games where we are 2 down after 20 minutes or so, seen it many times before. Get on the front foot and get the crowd going, then think we can minimum give them a game ffs. Is Antonio available, can't see if he is or not?"

[nychammer]

"got my expectations well set for this. If we win (and there's always hope) I'll be ecstatic obviously, but I do expect us to lose based on recent performances so either way I won't be too upset whatever the result. It's the games where you fully expect to win and contrive to throw points away that rankle."

[RM10]

Arsenal fans at work or more wanky than their neighbours.
