    Wenger is planning a lot of changes for this game. I don't think he had a lot of choice @ Wigan but it still sort of bit us to take a hot, in-form team and scrape away eight of eleven.

    Gibbs & Eboue are expected to start in place of Clichy and (suspended) Sagna. Nasri and Van Persie will not play because of minor kicks sustained in the Man City game.

    I think there are 8 more years for the Statium and 15 for the kits. Sigh.

    That's what the tour guide at Emirates told me. Looking into it it's a 15 year contract do there is around 10 years left. Until 2021.

    Yeah I just googled it... Emirates Stadium until 2021.

    I think the kits expire a lot sooner if I recall what Charlie George said. Kits don't really matter tho.

    Yeah, I'm not bothered about the kits. Although I did like the Dreamcast days.

    I like that we're having a conversation across three threads.

    Could be worse. We could have some scummy insurance company/bank on our kits, or some devious gambling website.

    Best way to do it! I'm quite confident we'll get a W against Leeds. We'll be too much for them even if we rest players.

    I wonder if we'll see Aaron on the bench.

    Couldn't get up in time for this game.

    Looks like we're going to replay it anyway.

    Another game to play isn't really what we want.
