lol!
Wigan just had a goal ruled out for offside. Yet again Mannone fudged up the save, I don't see how the gaffer rates him, he really has been terrible in every game I've seen him in. Fabianski is a much better prospect. Probably should sub Cesc, we don't want him getting injured.
Didn't see that. Was it offside?

No subs left so cesc gets to stay on injured, and Mannone has been at the club 4 years, so he will count as a homegrown player, the other two keepers won't so he'll be an easy low risk way to have a homegrown player in the squad, hence get him games now rather than someone who won't help when the quotas come in. I see the logic, and he's young with the least experience so not surprising he looks worse tbh.
EDIT:_ actually, what is the rule, for now its going to be 8 players out of 25 submitted for the league have to be homegrown, which means trained in the uk for 3 years under the age of 21? AT some point I'm assuming they'll add an amount you need in your gameday squad aswell or is there already a minimum number for game squads aswell?

Apparently it was yeah. We should just play the last few minutes with 10 men. I don't see Wigan scoring 3 if Cesc goes off.

2-3 yards offside, had he been onside he probably would have still got to it first, was pretty lazy to be off and lucky for us. Cesc should go off but can't see him giving up or Wenger telling him to come off. Seems a needless risk.

Tbh I think that Almunia is a shaky keeper at the best of times. Fabregas scores! knocks it in with his good leg.

HEHE< assume he scored as I posted, must be a minute or so behind 
He's running away from the goal limping so assuming he doesn't want to be on, shows just how hard he works, injured, in pain, still gets into the box and gets a goal.

Man of Honour
Nice, 4-0. Awful from Wigan.

I agree, Akinfeev is what we need, or maybe I have been playing too much FM '09
But still, good to have our first clean sheet of the season.

4-0, good win against a decent team who have a very good manager. If someone offered me a 4-0 win before the game I would've taken it. Not happy with Song's occasional crazy tackling and his giving away of the ball but we should keep giving him games, he'll sharpen up eventually. Very impressed with RVP, Verminator and Eduardo did alright too. Can't wait to watch all the highlights again later on.
Btw he was playing on in pain.
