That does not sound odd, Arshavin has been sluggish for about a year, and whilst Clichy is not as skillful he does at least have some energy to run.

I would have clichy and gibbs the other way round, if they were both to play. As clichy simply can't cross a ball.

We don't cross from the left winger anyway. he has the speed to just run past and cut the ball back. Plus Jadson is a tricky bugger, Gibbs right foot is better than clichys and Jad does love the trick or two.. or 3

Was going, then my car blew up. Had to give up all my tickets for the rest of 2010 and not going till early 2011 at least :banghead: :cry:

Thinking 1-1 tonight, they're a pretty decent side and we'll have half an eye on Sunday.

Wouldn't risk Fab fully tonight, bring him on for the last 30, maybe same with Theo
