[topgoon]

Leona lewis isnt coming

5mins with me and she just might be

Anyway nutflush pikey I maybe but jaysus it's better than the being a big girls blouse like Bournemouth.......I might get cold later

By full time whistle you'll have the warmth of several thousand gooners huddled together in joyous rapture or the flames from the burning sticks and pitch forks of several thousand very p***ed off gooners.

Good luck for the final!

HOLD on

When has flappy won us a game ,im all ears ???

He saved 2 penalties in a game when he went walkabouts and could have cost us the match
Penalties are a pure lottery !

He won us the game though, didn't he!

He almost cost us against Liverpool ,he was poor against Norwich,Chez can be shit but surely he will have learnt and he is the better keeper and I havent worked 30 years in fussball !

'almost' isn't losing us it though is it.

He has cost us game after game after game in the past and he CANNOT deal with crosses which Hull will be on to .

We should win but playing Flappy only increases out chances of losing !

I personally think that if he has played in every game up to the final then he should play in that too. It's the right thing to do.

The right thing to do is play the best team, and that means Chesney in goal.

100% agree ,sentimentality should go out the window as far as im concerned,,the gk position isnt my main worry its the thought of him starting sanagoo that is scaring the shit out of me.

[augie]

There is more of a hope of me, fwank and lefty starting than there is of wakemeup starting up front

The debate over starting flaps is more complex imo - tbh I would probably play flaps ahead of chesney now, even though I have been against playing him in the earlier rounds. I think that the guy has done well to date and deserves his chance plus it does worry me that playing chesney would see him return to the arrogant and less than focused cock that he has been on occasions
Maybe my feelings on this would be slightly more practical if facing hull concerned me but there is not a doubt in my mind that we will beat them - a full strength and confident hull side would most certainly cause us problems but they are on a terrible run and are missing their best 2 players (long and jelavic) so if facing a team that has dozy altidore as their main striker, doesnt fill you with confidence then I dont know what will

Can I take that as a vote of confidence that Wenger can be trusted to pick his best 11

I agree the right thing is to pick the best 11. But I don't include Chesney in that 11 for a one-off cup final. He will turn up with that stupid cocky grin and throw one into his own net.

As I posted earlier;

RE Flappy v Chesney.

It's a bit of the lesser of two evils in a way. Neither are good enough to be first choice at a club with title/CL ambitions to be honest. They both have huge flaws in their game.

I've said previously I'd play Flappy as Chesney is a liability in big games, if he turns up with that stupid fucking cocky grin of his. I see that grin in the tunnel and I KNOW he is shipping at least one absolute howler. No coincidence he was the keeper in every hiding we got this season and whilst he can't take sole blame for those hidings I would say many of the goals were save-able.

BUT;

Flappy is also an accident waiting to happen. He has done well in the cup with his saves and good performances far outweighing the couple of flaps he's made (and was lucky to get away with to be honest).

I'd pick Chesney over the course of a whole season to play in the PL, but I think for a one-off cup final I'd go with Flappy, because I just know if Chesney turns up with that stupid cocky grin then we are letting in at least one or two fucking easy ones.

Having said that I reckon Wenger will pick Chesney. Hopefully he'll turn up with his brain and some humility switched on.

With doubts over the Ox and TV5 the line up will probably be;
Fabianski,
Sagna, Mertesaker, Koscielny, Gibbs,
Ramsey, Arteta, Rosicky, Ozil, Podolski
Giroud.

Subs; Szcesney, Jenkinson, Flamini, Diaby, Wilshere, Sanogo, Santi, Chamberlain (Monreal if ox not fit).

For some reason he always goes with rosicky in big important games, yet rosicky rarely performs unless its against Tottenham.
The way hull have been playing should add a bit of confidence to the team's approach, we should win 2or 3 nil.

[remigardeshair]

I'd be amazed if it isnt

Chesney
Sagna
BFG
Kos
Gibbs
Arteta
Ramsey
Ozil
Santi
Pod
Giroud

If he does play Rosicky it would be in place of Pod, no way he'd leave Santi out.

For anyone that doesn't want us to win on Saturday listening to c**ts like this should be incentive enough.

As far as I know the signs are probably put up in any area before a big final, the council probably shouldn't have jumped the gun but seeing as they only have a 24hr period to organize this, it doesn't surprise me that they have.

I'm sure Hull sh*tty council didn't plan one before the end of the season last year or haven't penciled one in this year.

Anyone living in the area, are the signs put up by us or the council ?


This f**ker is only playing in the final because the Ref was too gutless to book him for a shocking stamp on Januzaj. With any luck Lee Probert might have the balls to send this c**t off if he does it in the final.


Lots of these f**kers have been mouthing off this week, doing interviews all a variation on the same theme, nice that our boys have so far not done any.

Keep it that way, keep your heads down, get yourself ready for the game and do the proper talking on the pitch. That means no d**kheaded tweets Chesney.

Let's send these rugby league f**kers back up to their caves and their egg shaped balls.
