Rather dive against us then play in a wc finalKane would rather play against Arsenal than play in a World Cup final.
We won't give away another stupid goal, not in this game. We'll win this.
Would have to say if I could magically change my Received Pronounciation with a Scandi accent to some other English accent, Ray's English would be high on my list. It has real character. Then again I like the way Ian Holloway sounds too...
Saka definitely needs a rest but Arteta is very stubborn. Xhaka, Willian and Bellerin will play. Arteta will do that rubbish tactic of having Xhaka at LB which will leave us with one midfielder in the middle and spuds might killb us there.Leno

I love Saka, but he looks jaded. Would also be happy if he's fit enough, but thought he looked tired against Olympiakos.
Good point Owen Hargreaves makes about the Burnley goal. Xhaka runs far too deep demanding the ball and Leno just gives it too him when he must know that it’s a really bad area with opposition players close buy. I think a more assertive keeper would have made a better decision, hoofed it long and told Xhaka to p!ss off . . .unless of course Arteta has told them to play that way?

His debut as a player wasn't that great either, if I remember...we lost 2-1, and the press were all saying Parker > Arteta as signings at that point
Mikel was top quality in the first 5-2 win though, fingers crossed it happens again tomorrow!
To be fair Parker was a better player than Arteta in my opinion.
While i don't think Arteta's good enough to get us where we want to go, I do think he has the tools to eventually be a decent manager. If he can get it right on sunday that will give the team some confidence in the last 10 games.
