Leyton Orient v Arsenal, 16:30, ESPN

L'prof

Hopefully we won't be suffering from any overconfidence or fatigue from our midweek victory over Barcelona. If we can go through today without the need for a replay then I'd be very happy indeed, we have enough games this season as it is! I'd expect some players to be rested and here's what the guardian have predicted:

That team should be more than capable of doing the business, although I'm never overly enthused to see Squillaci starting. I'm going to predict that it will be1-3 with a few hairy moments at the back.

Now how do I sweet talk the missus into letting me watch two Arsenal games in one week

SDTimeout

Ignasi Miquel STARTS for Arsenal

monkey9

Barry Hearne own Orient, doesn't he?? I hope there's walk on girls to head out with the players instead of mascots!!

Frisbee

Did Wenger not say the other day that Djourou was going to start?

I hope he doesn't but I thought he was...

Can see it being a tough game with Denilson and Squilaci likely to start it could be a one of those shock FA cup wins for Orient!

Wenger's never lost to lower league opposition in the cup, if you have a sneaky feeling then put it on the draw!

Frisbee

Yeah draw @ 9/2 is looking mighty tempting tbh.

Just seen that Young Guns is saying that Miquel is going to start today. Don't like the sound of that, especially if it's with Squillachi.

iMuse

Arsenal: Almunia; Sagna Miquel Squillaci Gibbs; Song Denilson; Bendtner Rosicky Arshavin; Chamakh.

OH jesus. I dont know much about Miguel but throwing him in there beside Squillaci is surely suicide.

Frisbee

Surprised to see Sagna start, although I suppose he had a rest during the week.

We need him there with Miquel and Squillachi at the back to be honest.

At least Song is in front of them providing some protection.

Frisbee

Rosicky to finally score today. Fiver on it @ 13/5

monkey9

Never heard of Miguel. Arsenal fans don't rate him??

Think that puts the three spurs youngsters on the bench Carroll, Kane and M'poku

Frisbee

Leyton Orient: Jones, Whing, Chorley, Forbes, Daniels, Smith, Dawson, Crowe, Cox, McGleish, Revell.
Subs: Butcher, Omozusi, Tehoue, Cestor, Carroll, M'Poku, Kane.

Arsenal: Almunia, Sagna, Squillaci, Miquel, Gibbs, Denilson, Song, Rosicky, Bendtner, Chamakh, Arshavin.
Subs: Szczesny, Fabregas, Koscielny, Nasri, Wilshere, Clichy, Eboue.

Just very young and has only ever played in the Reserves.

cson

Is Robbie Savage locked?

Liam O

Cox is a decent player, was very good when I went to the Rochdale game earlier in the season

Happy enough with that so long as Song comes through unscathed. Miquel is in for some day based on the form of his partner...

cson

McManaman is annoying me. Almost as much as Savage. That pitch looks fine. Foolbag. :cool:

cson

Whoa I take that back about the pitch, its in shite!

Hearn probably got the groundstaff to take lumps out of it

it's what I'd do

Liam O

McManaman and Savage are gas

cson

Meh we can play long ball if we want with Chamakh and Saint Nick on the pitch. Might be best remove the pitch as a factor.

Liam O

As much as I'd love it to happen, I think that team is far too strong for Orient, Chamakh will get at least 2 I'd say...

yeah they have them at every home game, when I was over they turned on the sprinklers 'accidentally' and they got soaked during their pre-match routine. Was a brilliant moment

Cracking atmosphere.

Nearly an Almunlol there. They've started really well to be fair to them. Pressing really high.

Liam O

damn, a fiver at 25-1 on Dawson first and when Almunia dropped it my heart jumped

That_Guy

Who is the co-commentator on ESPN?

cson

Such a lethargic tempo from us.

Literally packed to the rafters.
