Just another confirmation of another of Wenger's falws - When it comes to the position of a Goal Keeper he has not a f'ing clue.....though of course Ospiiiinnnaaaaaaaaaaaaa ! has yet to be either proven or disproven.

Does the fool never learn!?

I fear a re-run of the League Cup Final - with the gobby pole fuckingg up again. :?

Surely you play your best players....also this may mean that he is intent on keeping the gobby pole - rather than getting shot and bringing in Petre Cech.
Wouldn't read that much into it-wenger played fabianski last year despite knowing he was leaving

4-0. :barscarf:
So were Birmingham :oops: :oops:
Birmingham were a premier league team who whilst getting relegated that season also beat chelsea and drew with both man utd and city
Reading lost 6-1 at Birmingham this season
We should never be complacent but have every right to be confident we have played reading 12 times and won every one

AW has threatened to start 'The Boy Wonder' - please don't do it. It's like playing with 10 men. If he wants to change it a bit then give Thomas a go !!. Gunners to win 2 - 0. Then we'll do Villa in the final 2 - 0. :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

surely once you get to Wembley in a competition you just try and play your strongest side - it really is not that difficult.

I am just about ok with Chesney playing tomorrow as we surely can't fuck it up against Reading.
However Wenger has also confirmed that this arrogant :censored: will be in goal for the final should we get there! :banghead:

this is just ridiculous.
1) we are likely to be playing a hyped up Liverpool team - a bit different to little Hull City last season
2) he basically won't play another game between this weekend and the final - six weeks and no match practice
3) the impressive run that we have been on is down to Ospina being in goal! yet le clueless twat is planning on not using him to actually win us a trophy!

Reading are more shit than Birmingham were.

its the final I am concerned about though - I have this nightmare vision of Stevie G scoring the winning goal against Chesney...

Exactomondo!

It IS the stuff of Nightmares - that diving *word censored* winning an undeserved pen against us in the 89th minute.

For the first time ever in my life I will be supporting the villans to win on sunday. :oops:

Really? I honestly couldn't give a shit if he played Welbeck, Walcott & Bielik in this one. We will batter Reading all over the place no matter.

Chill.

Quite LOL this thread, I don't feel nervous about this game. There isn't 10% of the pressure we faced last year versus Wigan and Hull.

A relaxed Arsenal side will pummel reading, whoever plays. The final will be much tougher.

Chillax.
