Dont know, he's physically fit enough to play twice a week. Maybe Wenger's trying to get him to bag a few goals to get him in form for Manure?

Arshavin will start according to SSN. So happy to her that Jack wont play. Don't want to over use him and we need him for Saturday, I'm sure he has a few things he'd like to "discuss" with Judas 8)
:lol: :lol: :lol: Yeah Him and Frimps! :box: :barscarf:
Frimpong would immediately become a legend if he went up to OT and snapped that weasel in half. Come on Agent Frimpong, your mission brief is complete.....

I'd love to see Giroud score at least a brace to kick-start him for Saturday and beyond :barscarf:

Given that his injuries are making a career at AFC less and less likely then I would be quite happy for him to cut his losses and go out of football in disgrace with van Staplecunt's cruciate ligament wrapped round his foot like a pig in blanket.

So, let me see if I can 'de-code' all this clique speak.

Mayo is code for sperm

Mad Bastard is code for Crazy Drunken Gooner

Meat is code for Cheesey Knob

and Old Creeky is code for *word censored* :wink: :mrgreen:

:rubchin: :D :wink:

This shite was actually written on Arsenal.com in the match preview for tonight's game... :roll:
The fact is Wenger wants to win this trophy and his squad selection at the Madejski Stadium on Tuesday will prove it.

End of.
He's sending a team made up of the reserves/youth team/disowned planks we can't give away ( :cussing: ) to play away against Premier League opposition... how does that "prove" he wants to win the cup? - "End of", my arse. :evil:

Looking forward to watching this.

Hope Eisfeld starts and Walcott is given a chance up front.

Pleased with that starting line up. Miquel at left back is a welcome addition and the midfield five has a decent enough look to it - two naturally defensive midfielders and 3 more attack minded players. The Chamster is the best of a bad bunch of options up top.

Be interesting to see how this Martinez lad does - lets face it he can't be worse than Dumb or Dumber....can he ?

Quite looking forward to it: other than Djourou, Miquel and Chamakh I'm intrigued as to how all of them get on. I'm loathe to admit it but there were times in the last few games where we couldn't string any moves together and could have used Walcott's pace as a different option. I think Arshavin could have a part to play too, I would certainly prefer him to Gervinho and as has been suggested by one or two on here I'd like to see him given a chance to play up top alongside Giroud/Podolski instead of this fucking 4-5-1.
