Does Owen even manage to be injured for commentary?

To be fair, more people want to hurt him when he's commentating, than they ever did when he was playing :P

Nuri Sahin

Be interesting to see the line ups for both. Would hope Agger starts and maybe Ibe for one of the usual front three, maybe Allen to play too depending on Henderson's injury. Otherwise it should be as strong a team as possible.

You really are like a broken record with your fourth place trophy jibe.

Give it a rest for gods sake. Its both childish and tiresome and probably for Liverpool fans too.

Never found him that bad to be honest.

Don't understand the hatred for him.

masti123

if its a draw will there be extra time or a replay?

klose

Giroud has just gone off apolagising on twitter for shagging around, odd timing with the game kicking off in over an hour.

He's an obnoxious **** i think is the reason why most people don't like him.

Decent commentator ...better than what's about at the minute

Thank God to that. Listening to Owen's commentary makes me want to punch him in the face even more than I did before.

As someone said before, "If I was on a desert island with Michael Owen and a tin of corned beef, I'd eat Michael Owen and talk to the corned beef."

He offers little to nowt insightful while babbling on using catchphrases and cliches constantly. Still better than Owen mind you, but sure, that's not difficult.

I miss Gray rambling on about Rafa's zonal marking obsessively while covering his eyes to the constant failing seen in man marking though.

Andys getting old, could see little micking asking him had he smashed Claire Balding, "bet u did Andy, I bet you smashed her" :eek:

Washington Irving

Quietly confident about this though I wouldn't be surprised to see Arsenal win it.

2-1 or 1-2.

Agueroooo

John Cross saying Wenger is resting players and Arsenal fans wont be happy.

So Giroud was cheating on his wife and Me!!! 😝

At least Andy Gray has a personality. Something Michael Owen knows nothing about.

Giroud as shit a husband as he is a footballer then.

michael999999

Does anyone really give a **** about Girouds love life. Wasn't exactly riding he's brothers wife or anything!

Arsenals only realistic chance of winning something and wenger doesn't put out a stronger team? Will he ever learn.

Pity Brad Jones is playing but otherwise a very good team.

Alfred Borden

Very Strong team from Liverpool there

monkey9

Happy with that team apart from the keeper.

mike65

Why would you rest the keeper? Other than Rodgers having made a commitment to play Jones as the Cup keeper of course (two clean sheets so far).

So, in the top 1% in the World?

He probably has a mug saying as such.

Sam Wallace ‏@SamWallaceIndy 58s
Yaya Sanogo starts for Arsenal ..

Nuri Sahin

Sanogo starts for Arsenal apparently.

Arsenal: Fabianski; Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Koscileny, Monreal; Arteta, Flamini; Chamberlain, Ozil, Podolski; Sanogo

Hurray

Giroud is being dropped, not rested imo. Hes been dreadful recently. Can't believe I'm agreeing with Turty that this is a positive for Arsenal :pac:

No idea why Woj isn't playing. Goalies don't need to be rested

WoollyRedHat

Arsenal: Fabianski; Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Koscileny, Monreal; Arteta, Flamini; Chamberlain, Ozil, Podolski; Sanogo
Arsenal subs: Sagna, Wilshere, Giroud, Cazorla, Gibbs, Gnabry, Viviano

Expected lines really, best 11 given Agger is back and Henderson had the wrist operation.

How can you not forgive Giroud the handsome devil

Viviano was a bit of a pointless signing?

It's a loan for a 3rd choice keeper. The reason he's been pointless is because Szczesny hasn't been injured.

The FA Cup needs to be more rewarding financially. You can forgive the Champions League clubs for giving priority to the midweek games.

Forgot it was a loan. Just think its pretty pointless loaning in a 3rd choice keeper, especially one with his experience. Pretty much every other club promotes a youth keeper for 3rd choice. Surprised he agreed to it looking at his apperences on wiki.

Washington Irving

Some people need to get over themselves regarding Brad Jones. He's no world beater but he has been fine whenever called upon. There seems to be some baseless assumption built up that he's a fumbling disaster.

And the more we see that glorious quiff the happier we should all be.


/cue 2 OGs and a sending off

gosplan

1: Giroud has not been dropped, he just needs a rest.

2: Resting players against Bayern Wed and taking an exit at this stage would be the most spineless thing a manager has ever done.

Ya but a club that hasn't won anything in 8 years that claims to be a big club should really be trying to win a domestic cup.

To be fair us Liverpool supporters cannot really crow on that front either. In the seven seasons since we last won the FA cup the only silverware we have gotten is the League cup.
