Arsenal (a) pre-match thread (Game given go ahead 1350hrs)

[Edin blue]

I am in London now just off the train from Pic. It's bloody freezing. I'd say it's colder here than M/cr. They knew it was coming though and have had a good few days to grit the outside of the ground etc. It had better be on now.

Still 50/50 according to sky, the main issue is clearing the surrounding areas of snow. They looked to be toiling a bit on last report. Lots of snow outside the ground. Head to a pub and watch for updates on SSN

Who this?

This.

6 more wins and the league is ours. Win this and it’s 5 more wins.

This sounds like something you'd read on the boring James milner twitter page

Sane goes by the name Bacon from now on?

I have a horrible feeling that Arsenal players might raise their game tonight after the stick they have had this week, I will take a draw now.

Behave. Another 3-0 City.

Presume Bacon is Sane, and Eric is Laporte.

 

[kippaxchris]

Bacon?
Eric?

Ayme-eric Laporte?
Bacon Sane?

Becomes obvious the minute you read it out in your head but I don't understand why people don't just put the proper names tbh

Behave with your Stones in midfield

Toure has travelled and Guardiola was asked about him yesterday, but with his reply I would very much doubt Toure is a starter
It has to be Gundogen and Kev mixing it up between them

I’ve long advocated for Stones being much more suited for a Busquets-style DM role so, like @Ric, would love to see him get a run out there...

That said, I would not want it to be tonight given the conditions and being away from home to the cannon cloggers. It should be later in the season when we have less to play for and better weather so he can find his feet in the role without worry about injury or considerable pressure to not make mistakes.
