Swedish TV showed it. He was onside. You can bet MOTD won't show it.

No Obertan on the bench.

He celebrated our goals too violently. He'll end up breaking our players jumping on them when they aren't expecting it. He grabbed Perez by the back of the neck and shook him for the second goal. He's a crazy guy.

Two blatant penalties not given to NUFC today.

True but we never seem to get any decisions. The officials seem to have decided we're a team of diving cheats but we're also apparently one of the dirtiest sides going.

It makes you wonder if fringe players like Gouffran, Williamson, Lascelles, etc. will get picked to play like they were against Northampton Town. The team needs to gel, get some goals, get some confidence and get a win. Rotating the team won't help that.

We can't afford to rest anyone. They all need the practice so we need to try to play our best, strongest team. The team from the Watford game was: - Krul; Janmaat, Mbemba, Coloccini ©, Haïdara (78' Aarons); Colback, Wijnaldum; Sissoko, Thauvin (88' Obertan), Perez; Cissé (45' De Jong). Subs: Elliot, Lascelles, Williamson, Anita, Obertan, Aarons and De Jong. S.Taylor is supposedly injured again. Are Tiote and Darlow injured as they didn't make the bench on Saturday?

Well at least we're not sleepwalking into a relegation fight this season. We know were in it from day one.

Second penalty not given.

It's his best position. I disagree like, when on form he's unplayable regardless of his position, he just gets us forward so well. From my memory his best games have come for us on the right. He plays for France on the right too apparently.

It's his best position.

There can't be a worse team than us for getting anything positive from corners. They usually result in the other team hitting us on the break.

You'd think we usually scored from crosses the way we keep trying to whip them in.

We get nothing off the officials.

Not given a penalty. What a surprise.

Playing San Marino and only having two players in the box to get on the end of a cross.

None of the above. 1 is the answer according to: - http://www.nufc.com/2015-16html/squad.html

Aye but thats only in England (and Scotland until midnight). Most of the European deadlines are this evening are they not? I don't know. I doubt NUFC would be able to sell Marveaux to any club that would want him. His wages would be too high for the stature of clubs that would be interested in him. He'd have to take a pay cut or have NUFC subsidise his wages. Either that or end his contract by mutual consent, pay him up or loan him out. A few of those options seem unlikely.

The transfer window closes on September the 1st at 6pm so there's still time. Having said that, Marveaux is currently recovering from a hernia operation. I think he is due back some time in September.

Cissé is pretty much guaranteed to be starting the next 3 games if he's still here. Both NUFC and Cissé can wait until January and then see. Cissé will still have a year and a half left on his contract in January so it's not like NUFC would have to sell him cheaply. It also gives Mitrović half a season to get used to the Premiership without the pressure of being our only out and out striker.

Aarons had a very mediocre game against Northampton Town. That didn't exactly make him an obvious choice to start against Arsenal.

The trouble for Mitrović is that his card was marked by the media (and refs) before he'd even played a game due to his previous reputation. Unfortunately he hasn't made it difficult for them. Does anyone think NUFC will appeal Mitrović's red card? Even if we did we know the FA wouldn't over turn it. In fact, they'd probably add to the ban calling the appeal "frivolous".

Thauvin to start?

Williamson!

Janmaat!
