Shiiit the game is on Tuesday night? Haven't checked yet but was hoping Wednesday night aswell working Sunday, Monday and Tuesday night then off for the rest of the week Wednesday would be perfect first day off with a few bottles and an Arsenal game .

Special guest at WHL tonight was Nayim and they introduced him by showing THAT goal. They are so obsessed with us it's hilarious! Maybe if they spent more time concentrating on themselves, they wouldn't finish behind us every year. Losers

On the plus side I have mentioned in the past my track record when it comes to missing live games:

7-3 v Newcastle
5-2 v Reading
5-3 v Chelsea

Could be in for a few away goals.

I'd personally like quite a strong team because we have way more chance of winning the FA cup than the CL.

Something like:

---

Szcz

---

Jenkinson----Mert

---

Verm

---

Nacho

---

Diaby---Ramsey

---

---

Santi

---

Ox

---

Podolski

---

Giroud

---

[edit] Forgot Jenk is banned. Sagna so

Oranage2

I think wenger will put out a strong enough side maybe something like this-


Scynzny
Sagna
mert
fit defender
Monreal
Arteta
Diaby
ramsey
chambo
gervinho
Giroud

something similar to the Brighton game, strong enough but a few rested

looking at the team news wilshere & koscielny are 50:50, vermaelen 90% to be able to start i think according to wenger link

i say something like this

---

Szczesny

---

sagna---mert---vermaelen----monreal

---

ramsey

---

diaby

---

---

rosicky

---

chamberlain

---

giroud

---

gervinho

Sczc

--Bellerin----Mert

---

Miquel---Nacho--

---

Diaby----Rambo

---

--Ox

---

Rosicky

Gervinho

I think it's worth taking a gamble at the weekend to make sure we have as strong a squad as possible fit for Tuesday.

TheGunns

No way is it worth the gamble tomorrow, Wenger should play the strongest team he can. CL isn't as realistic and we will require a lot more luck to win that than the FA cup

Pierce_1991

Agree with the above statement. Also think it might be worth throwing verm out on the left if he is gonna play there on Tuesday

Frisbee

Would rather rest Vermaelen if we could, if he gets injured we're screwed for the Bayern game.

I think today's match is on German TV

Alfred Borden

Geoff Arsenal ‏@GeoffArsenal
Jack is on the bench today with Lukas and Santi. Thats all folks. #COYG

AdamD

Similar to last round then? As a back up plan in case things are going well

I'd expect:

Woj
Sagna-Mert-Miquel-Nacho
Rambo-Diaby
Rosicky
Ox-Giroud-Gervinho

HazDanz

Win our match today and it will give the guys a great boost for Tuesday. Love this time of year for football. We either flourish or end up in the foetal position but it always provides a great deal of fun going along for the ride.

TheBza

Arsenal team: Szczesny, Coquelin, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Monreal, Diaby, Rosicky, Arteta, Gervinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Giroud

Subs: Mannone, Sagna, Wilshere, Podolski, Ramsey, Cazorla, Theo

Strong team. Should be enough to put Blackburn away.

gnfnrhead

Strong team and a very strong bench too.

Gervinho did much better on the left than the right whenever he's played there so hopefully he can have a good game and start showing something resembling footballing ability.

Is Mert injured? Not even on the bench.

Rested for bayern.

Is coq rb?

Mertesacker can only cover one position, Sagna can cover two.

Bar Monnone, I think all the subs are capable of playing in at least two positions.

Looks like it. Hope he has a great game as he could be the answer.

Ox has started very well

He has a very poor footballing brain in my opinion.

Gerv with a bad miss

Missed the whole goal from 10 yards.
How have we so much possession but only one effort on target?

eagle eye

Was wondering why I am the only posting in the FA Cup match thread.

Anybody else but Gervinho and we were more than likely 1 down I think. Despite all the possession Arsenal haven't threatened much but I think they will do us if it stays the same. I didn't like the diving from Gervinho and Coquelin.

Arsenal fans don't do match threads so much.

Things have a habit if going so horribly wrong that we don't like to be near supporters of other teams when they do.

AdamD

Rosicky's been poor, Jack or Cazorla on for him could be the difference.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

This game STINKS.

Oh Bentley.

Odds on him scoring?

Mr.Micro

We had better do something soon or I fear Rovers to nick it.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Theo and Jack coming on.

[edit] and Santi

Great hit by Rosicky, off the bar!

Please get Gerv off. I get the whole, "He needs to play to get confidence" issue, but he should only be coming on when the game is safe and his misses won't cost us anything.

AdamD

These subs seem a bit late for me

HazDanz

Nice bench to bring on.

In fairness that was a good block rather than a miss there.

Nice to see Jack, Theo and Santi coming on as subs all the same. Wouldn't like to be Blackburn looking at that speed coming on
