Balotelli didn't travel, apparently to build up fitness ahead of Arsenal

If they lose this they will definately sack him, given that side. 3-5-2-0 perhaps?

Tremendous popcorning by Pulis on 5 Live!

On the 3 3. "It could have been 4 3 when Gayle missed late on"

On Lovren. "Last season I thought he was terrific. This season, it is mostly how he responds to the coaching and instructions being given" Or something like that.

but she married you mate

haha

my word that sounds harsh - bants mate, bants

I must be one of those exceptions that proves the rule!

 

[roydo]

Am I being Blue-tinted by not wanting any rs players in our team, we have a much better first 11.

No.

.....yep, surprising he's not been tried. Maybe they have fallen out because he wouldn't move after they were offered £14m.

Looks like BR liked the way his team played without a forward at Man Utd, must think they will take their chances tonight.

Yeah, think that failed move is likely the reason but seems shortsighted not using him when they are desperate for strikers. He played well against Real Madrid, perhaps he'd have done the same vs Basel and kept them in the Champions league which would have been worth far more than the fee from Sunderland.

But as you say they appear to be using the same tactics as vs United and they won't be facing De Gea so am expecting them to score tonight even without a recognised striker, just hope Bournemouth score more!

Wenger must find this all hilarious.

Guess so, tbf they did have a few chances at Old Trafford with a similar setup.

 

[L4Everton]

Could really do with them making it to Chelsea in the final if I'm being real honest.

 

[zirc]

This will be comedy regardless of the result.

 

[quasi modo]

The RS will smash these tonight, and give the deluded's some false hope.

 

[crusade]

Better not be the Kopites singing Allez Allez oh

 

[Fearthainn]

Koff Bournemouth you tits, how do you miss that?

 

[Efcbradley89]

How??????????

 

[MikeH72]

Can I ask why on earth he thought he was going to score with his left foot there?
