Hmm….cant see anything on this thread re the thread title 🤔
Arsenal's Bukayo Saka faces a late fitness test after missing Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Luton with a minor injury.

Midfielder Declan Rice could return to the starting line-up after coming on as a substitute against the Hatters.

The Gunners' only confirmed injury absentee is Jurrien Timber.

Goalkeeper debate. TBH haven't a problem with either. Also no problem with playing out from the back, it's got us where we've been. However, get really frustrated when 4 or 5 times in a game when opponents attack has broke down with most of them in our half, and there's an opportunity to roll the ball out very quick to the wings and get up the pitch. Struggling to remember a goal on the break from us. Hopefully tomorrow UTA.

So which camp ( no pun intended) are we in with regards the reception for Ben White?

Personally I'm all in for giving him a bit of stick for the England snub. However, I know the Southgate haters and those dewy eyed as he played for us will beg to differ.
Couldn't care less personally. Up to him if he wants to play or not. I think he's more deserving of stick for his orange complexion, but then I'm a pasty faced old git so...

I couldn't give a toss about England and I never saw BW play for Brighton live, so I'll greet him with complete and utter indifference, TBH.
Yep, just an empty silence will do...same for Trossard ...no need to make any of our opponents feel that they're important to us in any way.

Don't care enough to give him a reaction either way tbh. It doesn't even feel like he played for us; I highly doubt he has any emotional attachment to the club and I'd be surprised of many of our fans felt anything but apathy for him.

Seems a bit of an odd guy, but not really enough to warrant a BOO-en.

Agree. Ben White completely irrelevant. Trossard, a little bit more emotion around due to mild sense of "rejection" but nowhere near enough to warrant making him feel special.

Exactly this and somewhat appropriately for Trossard following the stories that came out from training, my reaction ? 'can't be arsed' :shrug:

Wonder if Roberto is watching his old club Sassuolo punish Salernitana in Serie A tonight with Bart and a bowl of pasta? Second goal for Sassuolo a great example of how not to play out from the back...

Anyway, here is our Roberto earlier...

Can I please change my camp to the booing Ben White camp? He's an utter cheating tosser.
