Arsenal away 25th Aug, the battle at the bottom, can we keep it below 5?
Taking one for the team, which is more than the first 11 can do, time to drop oggy and noble and give the all the new players a run to try and get the monies worth?

And, although the squad is apparently complete, should Pellegrini be dusting down his old Rolodex and phoning to enquire whether Yaya Toure has anything planned for the next ten months?
4-0.
Then a week of the 'it takes time to gel', 'we're working hard in training', 'we have enough quality to get out of this' rhetoric before the next surrender.
Two games in and I've already had enough. A new personal record.
Fredericks - Diop - Ogbonna - Cresswell
Yarmolenko - Noble - Obiang - Wilshere - Anderson
Arnautovic
Adrian, Balbuena, Masuaku, Rice, Sanchez, Hernandez, Perez

Is there an emoji for "duck, take cover"?
It must be comforting to know....
They play....
West Ham next week ;whistle
For a fan base that regularly claims to pride itself on our academy, it absolutely baffles me how quickly people want to throw Noble under the bus.
I honestly have never been a huge fan of Noble. I've always thought that as soon as he was on the ball any momentum was lost,
I've never considered him as anything but a hard-working but slow journeyman player.
I don't buy into the "he's one of our own" stuff, although I appreciate that he gives his all and that there's no disputing his love and commitment for the club.
It's no coincidence that he's never been a transfer target, is it.
How many of the Manchester City team last season came through their academy?
Rio Ferdinand said at the weekend where are the players coming through from ours into the first team. He quoted several including himself who had in the past done so, and we are supposed to pride ourselves on how good ours is.
Second, who actually prides themselves on how good our Academy is. Really. And those that do, why? Reality check needed imo.
