Giroud
Theo

Coquelin
Arshavin
Even Squillaci! :shock:


The Midfields a tricky one as AW tends to opt for experience to balance the youth.
I can't see either Cazorla, Diaby or Arteta playing.
This would have been a game for Rambo to have bossed but he played the full 90 on Sun only leaving the Ox. I don't want to risk playing Alex.

Thinking...
-------------------_Martinez
Yennaris-----Djourou---Miquel----Santos
----------------------Coq
-------------Elsfield------Ramsey/Ox
Theo---------------Gnabry----------------Arshavin
--------------------Giroud

There maybe some variations with positions in Midfield. Either of the midfield (baring Theo) could be the playmaker. Also AW could go for a 442 with Theo & Giroud upfront. I'd quite like to see that, see how Theo does upfront. (Doubt he can! :roll:)
Or the 4-1-2-3-1(12 players) you suggest :lol: :? :wink:

I really like the League Cup games, a good chance to watch the young players and the outcasts, i would like to see giroud to hopefully get his scoring boots on, although if he plays and doesnt score his confidence will be rock bottom

i expect

Martinez
Yennaris Djourou Squiddly Santos
Coquelin
Walnutt Eisfeld Arshavin
Giroud

Hope to see some of the good youngsters on the bench, Mainly Chuba Akpom seems he looks like he is playing really well for the u21's

I expect Martinez to play as he's got a future at the club.

This, except Kos for Squillaci. He hasn't had much gametime yet this season, so the more the better

Perfectly normal.
The season ticket is just a membership card. The card would have been assigned to a different block & seat for the one game.

What's the point on sending out tickets or another membership card when you are already member.

Has anyone tried getting in to different gates at the Grove then on your ticket?
I was under the impression that it worked for the one gate only (for me D), until a mate to tell me that you can use the one either side? (So C & D) This worked!
I've also heard you can use gates either side of those A & B and E & F?

I've never tried in fear of jinxing the game. Haha! :oops: :D

It wouldn't surprise me that, barring the away end, you can use any gate. Anyone know?

I love it mate :D

Who is going to step up to the mark and dink one over the keeper when its 4-0, followed by rave reviews and predictions of greatness before disappearing into the file marked 'Quincy and Aliadiere'
