Ahhh, love the optimism.

Thank you! I know should be a wonderful evening Enjoy! But If we win don't forget to rub it in my face!

Wish we weren't even playing this to be honest. Just another injury risk to an already thin squad.

I hope Matić, Cesc, Hazard, and Terry are all benched and saved for the weekend at their absolute freshest.

I don't want ANY of our starters v Swans to play in this game .. play the back up players and the kids

Except for Oscar and Willian. They need the minutes after joining up with the squad later.

The margins will be so thin this coming season that every point will be important. With City away as our second match of the season we can't afford to give our rivals a small gap. Lose to Swansea and already it gets annoying with City there.

Oscar didn't play in the Copa America, remember?

Full time! Fiorentina 2-1 Barcelona.

change that we better pull the big guns out for the full 90 .......

Fiorentina are playing away from their country but they are better than Arsenal.

[ice-boy 165]

Let Falcao play for 70 minutes, he needs more game time

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Give him the full 90. He has barely trained with us and needs something resembling a pre-season under his belt.

You can't be serious about playing our best team in a friendly against a team whose star player last year was SALAH!!!!

Was meant to be going, giving it a miss now. Too much hassle for a friendly.

Same mate! Gutted though, was going to take colleagues of mine who've never been. I've got work on Thursday morning in central as well, hate these wankers.
