Starting XI tonight. Mannone; Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen; Arteta, Wilshere, Cazorla; Podolski, Walcott, Giroud

The way we should have started, no santos and walcott is getting a starting place, this squad looks good.

Also I was reading an interview of Benteke today (belgium striker who plays for Aston Villa if you didn't know) and he said he's an arsenal fan and wants to wear the jersey at one point in his career, with henry being his idol.
This guy is amazing, and from what it seems he's having a good start for aston villa. He has been trough a tough period in the belgian league being loaned out but now he's coming out of his shell. He's also the main striker of the belgium national squad.

Benteke Is quality and I'd happily swap giroud for him

Giroud has been great despite what people say, his positional play is great, and he doesn't have that bad of scoring record because he also has a ton of assists.
Can't say Benteke is better because he has yet to prove himself in a bigger league than the pro league.

He's on loan at villa you say? Where from?

THEOOOOOO



Nah he used to be on loan in the belgian pro league all the time, he was loaned out to kortrijk, standard and genk. then he got a contract with G

really feel he should get chance as the main striker or paired with another striker instead of out on the wing

He is best behind the striker, he said it himself and wenger will play him there

Giroud!!!!!!!!!!!!

does anyone have a stream for tonights game?
