- Thread starter Ronaldo's Mum Eh?
- Start date
Sanogo starts for Arsenal.
what? wtf happened to Mr Underpants?
Probably being punished for his actions.
Stupid then. They should focus on the game.
It's out of pity tbf.
Thats nice of them
Typical Wenger, cutting his nose off to spite his face. Sanogo 
Lahm in defence for Bayern too. Martinez starts.

Giroud's apologies didn't work then

That Bayern team is there for the taking tonight. Going for 2-1.
Really?
Flamini starts, not Arteta.
What a strange decision to start Sanogo. I missed the Liverpool game, how did he play?
Ribery is injured.
Yeah, that's a very good Bayern team. 3 first teamers are missing but still top class. I would be shocked if Arsenal win this
Giroud isn't playing?
I can't think of anything that would justify such an idiotic decision

How does that work? That's pretty much their strongest team now bar Ribery and maybe a few others.
He got criticized a lot here but I thought he showed glimpses of a player in the making. Nowhere near ready to be an Arsenal 1st teamer though. He'l struggle tonight. Mental of Wenger to punish Giroud to play Sanogo.
Aye, mental. Specially when the 2nd choice is Sanogo.
Ah Cheers.
And yes, that's a very good team which is why I was amazed at the "there for the taking" comment. Cant see Arsenal winning.
He was bambi on ice and looked out of his depth. Pathetic from Wenger really to drop Giroud for the biggest game of the season just because he got his end away.
Sorry, knew I shouldn't have copied Coral's tweet.
No Giroud is ridiculous.
Why is Giroud not starting?
Don't apologise, mate.
Could be because of what has happened or it could be a technical decision.
I would have played Podolski up front and accommodate others instead of starting Sanogo who just isn't ready for these matches.
Wenger was afraid that Giroud might take for the taking part too literally.
Don't apologise, mate.

Tactical you mean? No chance.
Schweini on the bench.
C'mon Arsenal. Do us a favour and knock out Bayern. Keep Bendtner as far as possible from the first team sheet. His miss in 2011 still haunts me. Would've most probably been 3 CL's had Barca been knocked out.
MILAN: Abbiati; De Sciglio, Bonera, Rami, Emanuelson; De Jong, Essien; Poli, Kaka, Taarabt; Balotelli. Bench: Amelia, Abate, Constant, Mexes, Zaccardo, Pazzini, Petagna.
ATLETICO MADRID: Courtois; Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Insua; Turan, Gabi, Suarez, Koke; Garcia, Costa. Bench: Aranzubia, Aldeweireld, Rodriguez, Sosa, Diego, Adrian, Villa.
Forza Milan!!!

He's been way out of form for a long time now.
Redknapp
Clueless, you can tell he's not watched Bayern a lot

True but he's a better option than Sanogo. Perhaps I should have said starting Sanogo is ridiculous.
who the hell is Yaya Sanogo? What happened to Giroud and Bendtner?
Ballack telling Redknapp in the nicest possible way that Schweini has hardly played for the best part of 3 months and Bayern have kept winning.
Sanogo instead of Giroud in this game is the most baffling selection of the season.
I do love Garry Neville.
Thought Muller might play from the start tonight if Cazorla won't be tracking back much.
Redknapp

What did he say?
Is this sexual in nature?
Arsenal vs Bundesliga XI. Come on Arsenal!
