Average line up of Arsenal tonight is 18.7 !! I'm still waiting for the moaners to go on about something - 'their not kids, their 1st team players...wah!' lol

Greenlizard0 · 11 Nov 2008 at 21:24

Amauri Bischoff is coming on! Finally!! And so is Lansbury.

No we say that about Man U's "youngsters"

its true for both teams to be honest (for some of the players)

Fail. There is not one player playing tonight for Arsenal that is in the 1st 11 - and only a few even in the squad.

There are players who have started previously for a 1st team match

Oh just our luck, please don't tell me Vela's injured. We're buggered if we have to rely on Bentner

^Not this again.

Cob · 11 Nov 2008 at 21:36

That was quite a save.

Great run too.

Shamikebab · 11 Nov 2008 at 21:38

Why isn't Manucho on?? Tevez is just going to get less and less confident with this sort of stupid team choice

Hopefully Welbeck can change things.

FrankJH · 11 Nov 2008 at 21:39

Welbeck on for Possebon

Hopefully some more forceful attacking play (rather than a bit meaningless hopeful play)

Can Tevez actually get any worse?

Welbeck Penalty

In the spirit of things evening themselves out over the season, I'd rather that have gone in at 3-0 up than stayed out somehow. Lets hope for a similar bit of luck at 0-0 against the Villa this sat.

Great game, nice to see the youngsters rip them to shreds.

PAz · 11 Nov 2008 at 21:39

Amazing save Fabi. Great stuff.

jakeke · 11 Nov 2008 at 21:40

Fantastic performance, amazing.

Cob · 11 Nov 2008 at 21:40

Pen to United.

Tevez scores it.

Greenlizard0 · 11 Nov 2008 at 21:42

Great win. I honestly don't think our first team would have spanked them 3-0.

Shamikebab · 11 Nov 2008 at 21:42

Finally 1-0 Tevez penalty. Welbeck makes an instant impact to win the penalty. See Fergie? This is what happens when you play two strikers against a team that is doing nothing but defend :rolleyes:

None of them would be in the first XI with a fully fit squad, with maybe only 2/3/4 of them on the bench.

Good result.

Not the point at all - they have played 1st XI games.

Still a very good result though

Weebull · 11 Nov 2008 at 21:49

I count four(?) of them who've started a first XI game before, whereas nearly all of Man Utd's line-up have.

Beerbaron · 11 Nov 2008 at 21:49

LOL Jack wilshire was man of the match but wasnt old enough to get the champagne
