If Arsenal fans were looking for any help as the struggling Gunners aim to get our Premier League title challenge going again, perhaps you will see the fact that Swansea City will be without their manager Francesco Guidolin as a good omen. He is not seriously ill but has been taken in with a chest infection.
Knowing our luck though, the Swansea players will give extra effort for their absent boss but Arsenal just have to make sure that we do our own jobs properly and get the win we so badly need.
There are some changes to the Arsenal starting line-up which is hardly surprising after the lame effort the team put on at Old Trafford, but not many would have expected it to be Koscielny that dropped out for Mertesacker. The fact that the French defender is not even on the bench tells me that this was not a choice by the boss.
Welbeck also misses out but is on the bench along with the misfiring Theo Walcott, so Giroud is back as our centre forward with Alexis Sanchez and Joel Campbell either side and Mesut Ozil to supply the ammunition. Hopefully someone can start hitting the target.
Cech
Bellerin, Mertesacker, Gabriel, Monreal
Ramsey, Coquelin
Campbell, Ozil, Sanchez
Giroud
Subs: Ospina, Chambers, Gibbs, Elneny, Flamini, Walcott, Welbeck
This Arsenal XI and subs bench should be way too much for the visitors, but which Arsenal will we see tonight?
A Giroud led team gives me no confidence but I just hope we win the game by any means necessary even a scrappy 1-0 will be fine!
Ramsey will never be dropped unles injured. Glad to see Campbell on the lineup, just hope his confidence didn’t detoriate due to being dropped for the 140k per week English flop
I wish it was Ramsey out instead of santi.. He’s pure ballllls and still manages to start…anyways I have no more finger nails left, nervous as fk…hope we get a comfortable win
On Arsenal’s Twitter account, they said there that Koscielny has a slight calf problem..
Gutted to see Ramsey in there again!
Slight, in Arsenal terms, means about 4 weeks!
what is it with Wenger and Ramsey!
Gush!….its such an annoying situation
I think ramsey is gonna have a big game tonight. watch this space
It’s not an annoying situation, it’s a sad sad situation this Ramsey and Wenger bond. Did Ramsey marry Wenger’s daughter or what??
sure….. go back to the bed
Atleast the player that keeps looking around on the pitch and does nothing else for his 110k is on the bench this evening.
Arsenal will beat Swansea
Spurs will get “hammered” 🙂
Up the Gunners.
Title here we come 🙂
some much needed positivity
Always bottlers, first half will be 0-0 or 1 nil to swansea. Draw or a very lucky win if that.
Those hoping and praying spurs are going to bottle well il tell you know ARE THEY HELL
Strongest team in the premier league hands down.
West Ham will beat the Spuds tonight!
West Ham haven’t lost at home since August, Spuds have a mountain to climb.
Matters not, we must take our chances tonight.
easy win for swansea.
Im no longer holding my breath for arsenal.
My attachment to the club has been ripped of with all my spirit
Go and tell someone who gives a ?!!
Try the Spuds ‘R’ Us.com ??
Does this mean you are finally not coming back? I’m not holding my breath.
Obviously Koscielny must be injured ?
It’s funny how things uncover, when the debate was who would start between Mertesacker and Gabriel. ?
Anyways! … I’m sure that most of us fan’s are feeling nervous with anticipation tonight!
Hopefully the lads will be fired up for this one and take the 3 points along with a cleansheet.
I fancy West Ham to beat the Spuds tonight!
City to beat Liverpooh and Watford to at least get a point at Utd.
Come on you Gunners! … Rise and Shine!
who would start btw Mert and gab
Ans: MERT and GAB…….sounds Like a wengeritic reply
Hahaha ?
Wenger is so stubborn that he done that on purpose, just to spite the JustArsenal.com fans!
What does ritic mean.
Bale needs to do more bec right now he is the main reason we are doing so bad. To many touches in the back and no work in the middle. He needs to play as simple as possible. Recieve pass, release it, done, go back to your place. Repeat!!!
Campbel needs to try to shoot way more. He has a good shoot and should make use of it.
In no one i trust. Come on you whoever is up for the fight.
if bale is ramsey, i have a better name for aaron ramsey right now: gareth fail
ramsey can not even be compared to the left ball sack of bale let alone direct to him, this ret…ed naming i do use is bec of my protest against the people who labeled him once better then him.
need to win today
If Sanchez don’t play well, welbek should change him. Missing kishieny , I hope Mert n Gab play well.
looks solid, just concerned ramsey may be fatigued. ..sub him and sancez bring elneny and iwobi at 60 mins if we leading 2nil.
Lets go boys!!! We need this win today!
Yeah begger off goons honker, re I mean .spudthinker.
So he drops TW for that prat that can’t score madness. Speed is needed right now but AW again is making his players feel like crap. OG needs 20 chances to score and even then he can’t hit the net. This team with AW is finished end of time for him and half that team to go. New captain needed now and it should be Ozill
hoping is hopeless…it’s time to wish
Sorry but off topic.
Read Utd are after Carvalho and we’re monitoring Gundogan.
Why not both if Arteta and Flamini are leaving anyways and Isco for Rosicky since Real are letting him go in the summer too?
Swansea players look more confident than ours in the tunnel…
lol
what’s going on with insisting Ramsey in the first XI? we need dynamic in midfield so go with El neny in DM and let the others free flow attack..even with swansea you have to show your intent..COME ON..a draw or lost today it is GAME OVER FOR SOME ONE. fingers cross SPUDS lose but we are depending in others but ourselves.
Liverpool to knock
Man C out of the
PL title race tonight.
We were led to believe
City were going to do the Quadruple
now they’re going to do the
Capital One Chumpionly’s shuffle 🙂
Good LUCK!
how does that headless chicken walcott even start ahead of campbell is beyond me
west ham are already up, come on you arsenal
West Ham 1-0 Spuds
Good start
Campbell the best player so far….
ramsey still cr*p so far….
Did you see that Wenger¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Joel Campbell ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
yeaaaa
Come on boys! Give us more to celebrate!!!
hope this goal seals walcott’s fate
Westham leading at the moment. All those saying Spurs will win the league should know that they will drop more points. they play Chelsea, Liverpool, Man United and Arsenal. And also Dortmund in Europa league.
Arsenal should look at Bilic as a replacement for Arsene Wenger. The guy is doing a great job at Westham.
Special finish by Campbell
for f sake. ramsey. take your s. together and focus
That’s why Campbell should play!! Los injured? Or Wenger not sure on his best cb pairing?
wowa wiwa ma boy bellerin, what a shoot, try that way more often
That’s why Campbell should play!! Kos injured? Or Wenger not sure on his best cb pairing?
Sh1t
………………..
speachless
yes! first goal over a year against Arsenal….why not
Ask our back four to define the word defend, I bet they’d struggle!
The crowd (that are there) are doing their best to support Arsenal. Still a nervous atmosphere permeates.
Gonna be a long second half I feel..
Nice goal Joel!
Come on Gunners
A draw Is unacceptable tonight
COME ON LADSSSS
……and here comes the best striker in the world……
How did jc become our best outfield player? Come on boys up it!!
Because he is a really special player, and has been even when we bought him back in 2011. Sadly, and most un Arsenal like, in my opinion, we haven’t treated him very well. I’m just pretty glad that the lad puts on his boots each time he’s asked to play for us and hives his all. His confidence must be wack on occasions, but he still has this kind of game about him. Love him to bits., and would love him to score another tonight.
Right red thumb down man – you are the kind of guy who agrees with taking JC off, but if you really really really think about it – AW took off our goal scorer and the only on who added energy to the side, and then we lost.
when we dont have possession there is no team worse than us in the league.
the coach and the players don’t want to win these kind of games, they don’t have plan, ambition or any interest at all.
back to wengers usual square balls and walk the balls into the net after scoring trick. er…all you mertlovers, great positional sense???? look it up. why is giroud on the field? welbeck injured?
I’m sorry Giroud but a ST should be scoring right there.
am i imagine things or does it always look like that we try to plan to attack it gets so slow and slopy, and when our oppents attack they always look like breaking our defense with ease just by playing a long ball
why da hell is OG on da pitch.?
can anyone tell me, why ramsey is still on the pitch? what a waste of player….
This said is crumbling before our eyes. Oh how the olympiakos game now seems an age ago.
Easy guys we are winning this gane
Swansea need a little bit of Welbeck 😉
Bring Welbeck on
He has been scoring recently
Liverpool 2-0 Man City
West Ham 1-0 Spuds
Scores are going our way so far tonight
If we don’t win it will a tragedy
did campbell ever screwed wenger’s wife?
Campbell off?!
man this is not football. football should be all about entertaiment, i am so under tension i cant handle it anymore.
focus you mofos, play your f. hearts out.
I just can’t understand wenger.
Really campbell??
Swansea almost scored
Campbell off!!?? Ffs
The only player who was fighting hard is now off. Wenger needs to check his head.
Oh dear.
WENGER OUT RIGHT NOW!!!!!
I’m done. See you next season.
Please @Budd and @admin and those who support AW blindly, explain why Wenger would take off Campbell. You just knew that that was the wrong decision again!!!!!!!!!
wow wow wow
We are about to blow another chance. PATHETIC
Spurs are losing, Man City are being hammered, Leicester City drew yesterday. How much more do things need to go our way before we become serious in this title race?
That’s the title gone. Next year maybe?
never with wenger
That’s it 1-2
Liverpool 3-0 City
West Ham 1-0 Spuds
Arsenal 1-2 Swansea @ Home
A chance not taken
Disgraceful
I know it’s not over but a we need a win
Heroics please
WOW!!!
Just walk off the pitch now guys, fooling useless no killer instinct. No wonder thousands of seats are empty!
hope this loss starts the spring cleaning in arsenal football club strating with wenger, giroud and co.
WOW…. Typical Arsenal.
swansea were 9-1, thanks wenger, hate you (emotional stress) and love you (for making me money)
Wait….Swansea have taken the lead and now the biggest winners will be Leicester even though thy drew. Wenger is a pathetic old fool. The players are even more pathetic for showing no fight.
Bunch of P*ssies.
wow. am shocked
This is beyond shameful. Disgraceful
Where is the effin fight?
Looks like the players want Wenger sacked with the way they are playing
Arsenal bottling company
I now hate this team. They are not fit to wear the shirt. The biggest bunch of bottle jobs I have ever seen in a sporting team in any sport in the world. Most of the team needs to be sacked
Why again is Nacho taking the shot? Where are the strikers and midfield?
Time to go invisible again, good night guys.
I think this is by far my most disappointing season in 30 odd years as a fan.
Such underwhelming performances. We don’t even play attractive football anymore, we don’t even have the ‘we lose but we entertain’ excuse.
Sad times.
WENGER NEEDS TO GO
Hopefully the swans put another 3 passed us, were losing anway.
This will put pressure on the board to make changes.
Joel Campbell goes off……… I lost all hope. Tbh, i new we’d lose
Ohhh to be a Gooner.
What’s the excuse this time wenger, listen to the crowd..Silence, you have silence the Arsenal for one fianl season i hope.
Thanks for everything and goodbye!
Jack wilshere n Cazorla to the rescue.
And still the undisputed,bottlers of the worldddddddddddddddd!

que surprise that his favourites babies namely Ramsey , Giroud ,Wilshere, mertesacker, walcott are all leading him to the exit door
This is the most disgraceful Arsenal team Arsene Wenger has put together so far. FFS….you’re battling Leicester and Spurs rather than Man City and Chelsea and he still can’t win the EPL.
This just means he cannot win the EPL. He has to go. Being saying this since 2011. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH with this pathetic spineless manager.
He will defend his players, and blame everything else.
Oh well *chucg chug chug, alcohol helps

Wenger later? “Err you can’t not fault our solidarity but we lacked a little quality” yardage yardage yards, why can you not instill belief and motivate this players? Weak weak! Remember matcher another taking out ox the other week? Ox walks off and pats his hand, wtf he should have been wanting to tear his head off we are weak minded wimps!
pls remember guys on this forum respecting wenger is more important than winning matches
Arsenal without Carzola playing with Ramsey instead = Midtable tema 🙁
you are losing at home wenger at homeeeeeee
Too easy for Swansea
Mind boggling how uninspired and listless Arsenal FC has become.
I hate Looserpool with a passion but the collective vigor and passion with which there curb stomping Shitty has been remarkable, a clinic in Klopp aggression and tactics that most Arsenal fans can only dream of witnessing @ the Emirates.
Klopp may not win a trophy case worth of silverware in his tenure but the tenacious manner in which Pool are playing makes me long for such conviction and desire in Red London.
Kroenke and Wenger must go, it’s time for the fans to raise there voices.
We have no chance, just lets hope the spuds don’t win it.
WHAT did i tell you guys? i KEEP telling you guys, Arsene Wenger will never win another PL again. He has no clue how to manage the modern game.
Next Saturday, when we lose to the Spuds, the pressure will be off and then we’ll win against Westbrom and Watford to claim our 4th spot price once again.
Mediocrity at this club runs very deep!
I said after our last game that Arsenal AFC will it win the league. We are very lucky that Man U and City are having a bad season. We would be struggling to make 4th place. Well done to Wenger for retaining 3rd place 2 seasons in a row. Now let’s move on and fight for FA cup????. What an embarrassment of a team.
