You think it’s going to end 2-0?!

You’re either stupid or hugely optimistic. This is against the side who always make chances and will most likely get a penatly from the diving Rooney or Ronaldo! Hell, you’ve even got Nani, Giggs and Scholes who have got a dive in them!

It’ll finish 2-2.

The rumour is Fergie and Wenger won’t play their strongest sides, which makes sense with the Champions League next week. And we have the much tougher tie so I can see a few big names rested.

I can see Toure rested, and Eboue coming in. Not sure about Adebayor, I think he’ll want to play so can’t see him being rested - although he could possibly on the bench.

Here’s what I think the team will be:

Lehmann

Sagna - Gallas - Senderos - Clichy

Eboue - Gilberto - Hleb - Flamini - Rosicky

Eduardo

Hleb can play in the hole and feed Eduardo with through balls all day long.

An absolute blinder this game is going to be massive.I think its set up well in that manUre have to come out at home and try and bury memories of their derby day defeat and that means they will be attacking us and counter attacking is what we good at so i think its going to be end to end.

I feel Wsnger is going to rest Adebayor,i dont know bout Cesc and Hleb but i feel he cant rest all of them because that will ruin our fluidity going forward.So um thinkin he will rest Ade and give Cesc and Hleb a run out.

____________Gilberto
______Fabregas____Flamini
Hleb____________________Eduardo
___________Bendtner

i dont see why we have to rest anyone becoz its a saturday game and then a wednesday game and i would really like us to put\ our best teams in both games,i wouldnt want to be Wenger rite now his jus got Eboue Kolo and Rosicky back its a nightmare.

There is absolutely no doubt the cup game is a massive one.I for one am glad henry has left and would be etertnally grateful for what t he has helped the gunners to achieve. We have to moveon and not dwell on his inhibiting presence which happens to all stars and even in daily life.
Now the goal load is spread out and it’s not easy for opposing teams to target the gunners goal scorers.I expect Ade to be heavily marked .Make no mistake about it.
We shd also expect the ref to be the rd ’s twelve man.I aint kidding for you never know.I want to know what happens when two footed lunges are made on the gunners. Remember Reyes who was kicked and no action taken by the bald eagel of a ref.If a two footed lunge is punished with a straight red soccer will be the winner and so will Arsenal.

I reckon Wenger will play similar team to the blackburn game. Same back 5 but with 5 in midfield - replacing Eduardo with Rosicky

Mad Jens
Sagna Gallas Senderos Clichy
Hleb Fab Gilberto Flam Rosicky
Ade

I dont see it as a massive game. AC Milan is much more important. Adebayor, Cesc and Hleb wont be risked they’ll probably start from the bench so its down to Eboue, Rosicky, Eduardo and Bendtner to perform
