I bet you are all hoping Leicester lose tonight but i think it will be a draw with West Brom equalising in the last minute of injury time
Close!

Not at all concerned about Leicester dropping points, title has gone. The players owe the fans a proper performance. You don't contend if you don't play well.

To nobody's surprise, Cazorla has had a 'setback' and could be out for the rest of the season.

I hope they don't drop points, I'd rather see them win the PL than the bloody Totts!

Wgen i say stooge, i mean he does their face to face bidding. He comes out and spouts all the nonsense the club tells him too. Imo him and the board are one in the same, He makes them money, they give him a reward. However they let him take all the flack and get away with it.
To me, the problem is almost the complete opposite of that; I simply don't see him doing what the board tells him.

I think he has complete power and the problem is that they are happy to leave him to it. After all the club is profitable, is building HUGE reserves of cash and the fans aren't (yet) protesting. Why on earth would they want to step in?

The present day club has been built by Arsene and his word is law. That's why we've become so dysfunctional and incapable of change. It's why the same failures are repeated season after season after season. If anything we are suffering because the board doesn't get more involved, doesn't lay the law down to Arsene, doesn't tell him to either get his act together or get out. If they had maybe things wouldn't be as bad as they are now.

I think the huge cash balances are evidence of that. Kroenke has always appeared to operate a 'hands off' policy and not take funds out of the club (beyond a 'management' fee). What other owner would run their club like that? We have more cash in the bank than anyone else in world football! Sadly I think we have become a victim of an owner and board who don't have the interest, confidence or ability to challenge an all powerful manager.

That's why I think the only way things can change is if the fans start to protest. That may either stir the board from inactivity and/or drive Wenger from the club. It's ridiculous we've come to this point but if nothing changes then we will continue to fall further and further behind.

Gutted, we have missed him badly. His passing quality has been badly missed and his defensive work is underrated imo.

Possibly the set back is he's watched the last few performances and decided he'd rather wait!

Cazorla tweeted he is due back 1st April so not out for the season.

Let's hope we're still in the title race by then!

Sorry I have not conceded the title as yet neither should you. As fans we must demand better performances from tonight. Be belligerent as your great name suggests!

Koscielny out with a calf injury.

The undroppable Ramsey keeps his place.

Why are we not playing Campbell more? He is way more effective than Theo

I've been to two recent home games against Swansea. We lost both.
I'm not watching this one. Just heard it was 1-1.
