Fabianski to start the return leg of the Sparta match, please. I want to see our alternative goalkeeping options right now.

Our continuing inadequacy aside, this looks like being the best season in ages. The table's looking much more competitive throughout, with teams like Newcastle and Man City looking much improved this time out, and the obvious relegation candidates, like Wigan and Birmingham, looking stronger than most people anticipated. Plus, Spurs and United got off to terrible starts, so there's plenty of consolation for jaded Arsenal fans.
