Martinelli asked to be omitted for family reasons according to the great unwashed on twatter

Yeah, he doesn't feel part of the Arsenal family!!

Thanks Arteta....now FUCK OFF!

I have a horrible feeling that next season he'll be playing for Liverpool or Man city

My eldest is after telling me that AFC have announced that they have no new injuries for today's game, but apparently martinelli is not even in match day squad and wont be on bench If that is true, then this vanilla, arrogant, spanish c.unt should be fcuked out of the club by 9pm tonight regardless of today's result - said all along that he doesnt want young players in his team, and without doubt smith-rowe will soon be following the footsteps of saliba, nelson and now martinelli

Augie this myth you keep peddling hardly stands up to scrutiny, he has played Gabriel, ESR, Saka and Tierney regularly when available, Nelson, Willock and Nketiah were getting runs earlier in the season, in Nelsons case admittedly mainly the Europa, and Odegaard is now, all of these are 'young' players.... i'd prefer if you were honest and say the youngsters you think shouold be getting a game ie Martinelli and ESR aren't rather than blanket saying he doesn't rate youngsters. As we have never seen Saliba i'm not sure any of us can say whether the should be playing ahead of anyone

Ok lets analyise things properly -

Smith-Rowe got game time only because of injuries and suspensions. He was without doubt THE main factor in the improvement in our performances, and now he has been shafted out of the position by a guy only in the club on loan. Originally he was shafted out to the wing, but stevie wonder could see that was never gonna work and that it was only a way of squeezing him out of the team. No coincidence that our performances have dipped since he lost the 10 position

Lets look at saka's emergence into the team - he was a player that was doing really well when emery brought him into the team, but again with arteta's introduction he found himself pushed down the pecking order to the point that he never got a run in last seasons big cup semi final and final. This season he had accumulated a grand total of 89 mins of league action by end of september, and again got no game time in the sway game at the victims when we again had our arses handed to us.

Martinelli has been treated appalingly by arteta - last season we went to brighton and lost 2-1 and he was a goalscorer and never got a minute on the pitch. He was being squeezed out before his injury, and since he has come back he has not got a sniff except 45 mins against manure. If you think that is acceptable, then I suggest when you look at the c.unts like willian and pepe that have been getting games ahead of him, then that is disgrace

Nelson got marginalised so much that for one of the europa games this season this spanish cock had 2 keepers on the bench but left nelson out altogether

Saliba has never been given a chance - not as much as a second. Imagine not being registered and looked at mustafi getting game time ahead of you. Even if you dont think that he is ready for the first team league action yesterday, you at least give him europa league and league cup action

Nketieh and pillock have had enough game time and shown themselves to be not good enough

I forgot all about guendouzi who has been disrespected to the point that xhaka, el ninny and ceballos are all considered better than him A young player that instead of getting guidance has been fcuked out of the club

Guendozy "disrespected" holy fuck Augie, you're re-writing what happened to suit your own point of view!
He was spoilt useless c u n t, who has now reverted to type in Germany!
Ahhhhh hold on! Now I see !! He was an Emery signing, your beloved Emery!

I'm 51 years of age Sid - if a manager considered xhaka to be better than me I would feel very, very disrespected, and lets be honest here, el ninny and ceballos are nowhere near good enough either. It is another case of arteta giving preference to a loan signing rather than one of our own players - if ceballos was a quality player then you could defend it, but that is not the case here. In my way of working you can get rid of a player regardless of what everyone else thinks of him, but ONLY if the players you bring into the team ahead of him are good enough - you choose to see as guendouzi as shite, but you refuse to look at the other side of that and accepot that those other clowns are shit

[Henry Norris 1913]

i'll be honest, it really could be the end for him if we lose today. not that i think anyone on the board would actually suggest sacking him but he will lose a bit swathe of the fanbase if this team selection backfires - i've been confused by the refusal to play Martinelli for a while but if you're not willing to start him today when you're showing what a big man you are by dropping our best striker then there is something seriously amiss.

hope this post looks stupid in a few hours time but right now

Arteta has just said Auba on the bench because of a "Disciplinary Matter"


So Arteta benches him yet lets the uselessCUNT that is clubfoot gets to abuse the fans, throw down the shirt and NEVER EVER Apologised gets to play week in week out.

[SteveO 35]

I truly hope that Martinelli, Balogun and Saliba go on and have great careers elsewhere and when everyone is bemoaning the lack of depth and quality in those positions, the truth will be that El Brittas fucked them all off in favour of Chavski rejects and loan players

Personal reasons, family reasons blah blah blah - must mean that Leno, Bellerin, Xhaka and Willian have perfect families and no issues going on in their lives ever

Whatever Auba has done was bad enough to not be in the team, but ok to be on the bench - so how does that work if its a disciplinary matter? Someone could get injured in the first 5 minutes and he would need to come on, which is fine.

Honestly, a life preserver, dinghy and an air ambulance couldn't help this fucker when you're this far out of your depth

He’s not even been included in the clubs stupid Instagram “Brazil” posts,how would that make him feel

[TeeCee]

I'd prefer to see Elneny play rather than Xhaka but I do like the fact that Cedric is in and I like the young threesome in midfield, their movement will cause the dustbin lids some problems. If Laca decides he wants to try today then we have a chance with this team. I still think Luiz or Xhaka will make an almighty fuck up.......

How stupid is that? If you are going to punish someone you fine them. Dropping one of your better players to the bench is cutting off your nose to spite your face and it's hardly strong and decisive either. Martinez-Lite is a buffoon.

[SteveO 35]

Shall we guess which minute of the game we see Willian and Ceballos brought off the bench. If its going badly then Auba will probably come on otherwise I'd have added Pepe to the list.

What are they going to do to show their displeasure....email him??

And as for Odegaard, Arteta was raving about him in the press midweek.....brought what was missing, blah, blah, blah...... That goal (which should have been saved) has in Arteta's mind, made himself look like a genius. Odegaard was decidedly average again midweek but that goal has blotted out all reason.
