I am more impressed with Arteta than Flamini. Arteta is giving Flamini the freedom to roam

Arteta is a very good player with very short tired legs.

Arteta has been our best player the last 2 times we've traveled to the Etihad. Short memories...fickle
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What's that got to do with fickleness. He's not getting any younger, this season its noticeable that pacey games pass him by. He's not what he was last season or the one before.

If he starts vs City Fernandinho and Toure will murder the Arsenal midfield.

Flamini is immense

Flamini trying his hardest to do a Ramsey

No they won't.

" What's that got to do with fickleness. He's not getting any younger, this season its noticeable that pacey games pass him by. He's not what he was last season or the one before."

He is far better this season than he was last season. He has played well tonight and the majority of the season. He'll play a blinder in the near future and you'll be bumming him again. Fickle

Rednapp on Szez back again

I would start Flamini and Ramsey against City. Ramsey will have acres of space that Yaya leaves with his indisciplined runs.

That was highly idiotic by Szcz

Titi

ARSENAL GONNA WIN THE QUADRUPLE. I DONT CARE IF YOU SAY WE'RE OUT OF THE LC BECAUSE CHELSEA WILL BE DONE FOR MATCH FIXING AND WE'LL BE PUT BACK IN

Guys lets finish this first and then look ahead.

============================================

Agree J-Dawg. Often Yaya goes missing when he or his team loses the ball.

Shezz is too cocky.

Bats feck off please, if Arteta has a good game it'll be against a team much inferior to us You're blind if you can't see the fact games with pace pass him by.

Which games have passed him by 50p?

"a very good first half cannon, we don't have to win this"
----------------------------------
The scoreline is very good, but the quality of football is not.

I like Henry's response with regards to Szc...

He was arguably our best play vs Liverpool, Dortmund and Napoli. Shoddy teams aren't they. You are clueless.

Yaya is awful off the ball! Ramsey will have a field day!

Arteta showing his age. He was always a short term option until ramsey and wilshere developed more. he'll be put into the back up soon

A. Madrid on 16 points :|

it's when he's on the ball that will worry us

Arteta doesn't have the legs to play a pressing game, which is what we need to do against City. We need a more mobile and highly energetic midfielder to partner Flamini/come in for Arteta (depending on how we set up). I don't think Arteta should start against City, but I think he will.

I'm missing Titi on Sky?
