Arsenal v QPR LIVE

Kick-off at 3pm.


Absolute must-win game. Could go 4th if results go our way.

Team news shortly.

Jack Wilshere STARTS.

ARSENAL XI: Mannone; Sagna Mertesacker Vermaelen Santos; Arteta Wilshere; Ramsey Cazorla Podolski; Giroud

ARSENAL subs: Martinez, Koscielny, Jenkinson, Coquelin, Walcott, Arshavin, Gervinho

QPR XI: Cesar; Bosingwa Mbia Nelsen Traore; Wright-Phillips Granero Diakite Hoilett; Taarabt; Zamora

QPR subs: Green, Ferdinand, Cisse, Onuoha, Mackie, Ephraim, Faurlin.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Sagna at left back if Jack is playing.

woooooooooo jack, been a long wait

Think sagna is starting too

Santos starts Wilshere & Sagna

So Sagna & Wilshere both start. Walcott back on the bench. Great news.

I expect to see Wilshere play alongside Arteta and Ramsey pushed forward.

Might be better to swap the two.

Feel sorry for Arshavin. He looked in good physical shape when he came on...like he's been working hard in training and in the gym.

I hope Ramsey scores a hat-trick, but personally I would not be starting Ramsey as his form has been poor.

And don't get me started on Santos

Still..COYG!!

Jack Wilshere makes his comeback for Arsenal in a EPL match after 524 days! His last app was vs Fulham on 22 May 2011

Risky decisions by Wenger. Risky, but bold.

Lets hope things go favourably now.

It's obvious Wenger wanted to give Jenkinson a rest.I just hope that Santos' inclusion was because of that, otherwise we're pretty much screwed till Gibbs come back.

I'm curious about the atmosphere at the Emirates tonight. Should be rockin' with Sagna's and Wilshere's "comebacks".

And Santos continues his great form.

Late for todays match.. Sad..
hope the win will make me happy..

Referee has been shat so far. Who's this guy anyway?

Jack is easily the best player 1st half, Santos is our most dangerous player which says much about our front three. Wth happened to Santi, he's invisible and out of gas whenever got the ball.

FA Academy has produced long term replacement for Howard Webb

at least we make same attempts although every half decent shot stopper is expected to save them we need width and some inside runs

Theo i wish

Mole you jelly
he is still same jack doesnt take extra touch, GOAT bac is back

Why aren't we allowed to have more than one great player in our midfield at once. If Cazorla is being a goat then everyone else is shite. If Jack is playing great then everyone else sucks.

I would take off Ramsey and Cazorla shortly after the half if things don't change. We need theo in there.

I say take Giroud out and put Santos up front, anyone can do better job now.

Watching Wigan v West Ham but very good to know Wilshere making his comeback. 14 months out with an injury, how often does that happen??

Still wouldn't mind you guys dropping points here

Sorry but this ref is fecking douchebag, Jack got kicked, stamped a lots, ans not even a foul

Welcome to Suarez's world.

Gervinho has a fecking boob for a brain.

I dont wish any injury on any player but glad Gervinho was gone, Arshivan cross saved us.

Get IIIIN 3 POINTS

Lucky boys.

How the ++++ can we be put under so much pressure late on, at home against the bottom of the table...oh, they had 10 men as well. No wins away from home in over a year.

I'm sorry, I know a lot of you love Ramsey but he is not good enough.

We won. That's what matters.

But we have more questions than answers from that.

Mannone 8 Man of the match
Saga 6
Vermaelen 5
Mertersacker 6
Santos 6 (He was probably our best player in the back 4 surprisingly)
Arteta 6 ( Hint of offside with the goal but whose complaining )
Wilshere 7 Started very well and faded. Understandable
Podolski 4 Looks knackered
Cazorla 6 Probed but faded
Ramsey 5 Flatters to decieve. Nice effort near the end but looks weak.
Giroud. 5. Scores loads from headers. We don't do that. Not his fault.

Walcott 6 Added a bit of dynamism. We should play him at home.
Arshavin 7 Made the goal. Always looking for the ball. Got back to help out and made a tackle or two.
Gervinho N/A

A big talk is needed by Arsene before Utd.
