Stoke, Bolton and Chelsea

well, the rugby players who have learned a bit of football are coming on Sunday, and i think we should line-up like this:

----------------------Szczesny----------------------
Djourou--Koscielny--Mertesacker--Santos
---------------Arteta---------Song------------------
Walcott-------------Ramsey----------Gervinho
-----------------------v.Persie-----------------------

Fabianski, Miquel, Frimpong, Rosicky, Benayoun, Arshavin, Chamakh.

Because of the corruptness of the FA, we are playing Sunday, Tuesday and Saturday, so we will need to rest some players a bit on Tuesday in the CC, so a full-strength team for Stoke. I hope Ramsey is up to it, otherwise I would play Frimpong instead to add some strength to the midfield.

For the CC on Tuesday vs Bolton we will use youth and experience:

-------------------Fabianski--------------------
Djourou--Miquel--Mertesacker--Santos
---------Frimpong------Coquelin-------------
Chamberlain----Rosicky---------Arshavin
--------------------Chamakh---------------------

Possibly Yennaris instead of Djourou at RB, but apart from that I can't see anything else unless Afobe/Aneke/Ozyakyup are used. Maybe Miyaichi instead of Arshavin but he might be injured.

Then we have Chelsea and we will need our strongest team possible:

----------------------Szczesny----------------------
Djourou--Koscielny--Mertesacker--Santos
----------------Arteta--------Song------------------
Walcott------------Ramsey------------Gervinho
-----------------------v.Persie------------------------

If Jenkinson is fit play him at RB. Don't think Gibbs or Vermaelen will be risked, nor Diaby so it will be this.

Predictions:

Arsenal 3 - 1 Stoke
Walcott
v.Persie
v.Persie
Crouch

Arsenal 2 - 0 Bolton
Chamakh
Chamberlain

Chelsea 2 - 1 Arsenal
v.Persie
Torres
Lampard

I think Luiz will be our first scorer, he loves big games at The Bridge, whether that will be to open the scoring or level the match remains to be seen

Didn't Wenger say Jenks is out for two weeks and 'might' be ok for Chelsea?

Or was that a made up quote on here today?

he did, but diaby and vermaelen were both meant to be back after the internationals, and diaby first. now diaby is behind vermaelen...

Ah, so you think maybe he'll be wrong but in a good way? I like your optimism
