Wenger's prioritising the Europa League second leg, 100%. He wants to keep hold of his job. He's said he wants to be pragmatic and he's returning to his philosophy, playing Ramsey and Wilshere together in midweek. It rekindled their confidence. Troy Deeney's called out the Arsenal players this week, saying they've got no cojones? I'd be looking for him today if I was playing against him.

In fact, the absences of Ramsey and Koscielny have been confirmed as rests by Arsenal's Twitter account.

We have got the stage where Arsene Wenger is prioritising the Europa League over the Premier League.

Sprinkle the salt where hell just froze over.

There's some suggestion that Ramsey, Wilshere and Koscielny might be having a rest with the second leg of the Europa League tie against AC Milan to come on Thursday.

Unconfirmed, though...

There's no Aaron Ramsey in the Arsenal 18. We're not sure why, but will do our best to find out. Jack Wilshere is only the bench, while there's no Laurent Koscielny either.

Full teams to follow...

Team news imminent...

It wouldn't have worried me, there wasn't enough numbers on the pitch. I understand Noble reacting the way he did. But the fans ahve now turned against their club. At Upton Park they were the 12th man. At the new stadium, it was a disaster waiting to happen, and it doesn't reflect well on the Premier League that they get such easy access to the pitch. It's ridiculous that can happen in this day and age. Something has to be done about that.

Discussing the pitch invasions at West Ham on Saturday, with fans clearly unhappy during the Hammers' 3-0 defeat against Burnley at the London Stadium.

As a player, manager or coach, it's going to affect you. But you can't use it as an excuse. Distractions go on every day in football and you've got to keep your focus.

File that one under 'not quite meeting a footballer'.

Abigail Collier: Boyfriend & I were convinced we'd seen Gary Lineker sat in a black audi in front of our house in Holloway. We rush to supermarket, come back, boyfriend has texted all his mates telling them. We go over to ask for a photo and it's just a random bloke sat in his car.

Match of the Day commentator

In the early days all the commentators were nervous because when I started there were no replays, no monitors to check what you said. You were very much out on a limb. When I did my first cup final in 1977, it was the first live game I had ever done. It was scary. It was totally different to the Saturday Match of the Day scenario. The cup final was not only the only show in town in terms of live matches, but people used to sit indoors and watch it all day because it was an annual event. I remember thinking to myself: 'Golly, I'm not sure I could get through this.' But fortunately I did. It was a big test.

Anthony Martin: Whilst waiting outside my house for a lift, a 4x4 pulled up and Kanu's head popped and asked for directions to Fratton Park; he was late and lost in the back streets of Fratton in Portsmouth before a match against Man City.

MOTD2 Extra

The famous music tells me that MOTD2 Extra has just hit the airwaves. You can watch Martin Keown, Keith Curle and Andy Dunn chew the fat now on BBC Two or at the top of this page.

James Manktelow: I met former Southend captain Kevin Maher at a Mcdonalds on the A12 - he walked through the drive thru.

I'm half-tempted to ignore any live football and just cover these stories for the rest of the day...

Paul TJ French: Jamie Carragher cut in front of me in a Wok n Go once when I was trying to order a hot box. If he didn't help win us a Champions League, we would of had words about his manners.

I'm not sure I'm having that Souness onion tale...

Jimmy: Kevin Kilbane was ahead of me in the queue at an airport branch of Boots buying toiletries. The cashier let him run and grab a 3rd bottle of shampoo to get the 2 for 3 deal. Thrifty.

FA Cup Factfile: I was with my girlfriend at her auntie's, house-sitting in West Derby in the 80s, when there was a knock on the door Standing on the doorstep was Graeme Souness who must have noticed my gobsmacked face "have you a spare onion?" We did have one and gave it to him.

Match of the Day commentator

My way into the job was through local newspapers. In the 1960s I worked on a weekly paper in Hertfordshire called the Barnet Press. After I got an apprenticeship there I went to the Morning Telegraph in Sheffield. Fortunately for me, the BBC decided in 1968 to launch what they called 'an experiment', which was local radio. One of the first stations to open was in Sheffield and I was pulled in to do radio reporting - and that led to a job on the old Radio 2 and then Match of the Day. I was very fortunate to be in the right place in the right time.

King of Progress Merch Style: Sat in front of Arsenal goalkeeper Pat Jennings at an ABBA concert - very nice man, seemed quite tall but I was a child - all grown-ups seemed tall to me then.
