As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

I know which I'd choose.
BTW - just take a look at The Oatcake Forum. They are obsessed with us and I'm sure Stoke will be out to maim and injure our players for the final. They are that low.
This is the best quote from the retards oop norf
i just hope we injure a few of them. It would be like a victory if we broke that *word censored* fabregas's leg!
I'm hoping for:
Van Persie
Nasri
Walcott
Wilshire
out for the season
GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNN STOKE!!!!!
And of course Fabregas's career ended!
As far as Shawc**t is concerned hopefully what goes around comes around

Maybe he's just not up for it atm? Chances are he'ld have to come on if we got an injury to a striker. I don't see how we get these injuries all the fucking time in training etc.
Tbh Robin needs to be wrapped up. Our midfield will create the chances against Stoke.
They're more worried about Peter Walton...the same ref that sent lovely Shawcross off "because of the injury to the calcium deficient ramsey girl" for an "accidental collision"
Have to say I don't believe RVP has a hamstring injury otherwise he'd be out for 2 weeks minimum. It may be a 'tight' hamstring, which isn't actually an injury but shouldn't be risked. Let's face it, our season is fucked without RVP because Barry Bendtner and chamslack are fookin pony. Bottom line is, play Bendtner, Denilson, Eboue and Squillaci in the same team and we could struggle.
IMO I think Arsene is saving these player.
There is no way Kos was going to play against Carew & Jones and as for RVP, I would prefer a targetman good in the air and able to let the midfield slip though and get a goal cue Chamakh.

I believe he's just saving these two key players. There was nothing earlier to indicate that they were injured previously, and I don't believe they both happened to get hurt at training - which I'm sure is pretty light right now, considering Arsenal's busy schedule.
If it truly is AW wrapping up some key players, that's smart management. We have Barcelona, the CC final, and (hopefully) an FA Cup game vs United coming up, not to mention many influential Prem clashes. We absolutely have to protect our assets, as much as it sucks to not play them every game.
As for the Stoke fixture: It's time for Bendtner and/or Chamakh to put up or shut up. Particularly in the case of the former, if he wants first team appearances, he can put in a good 90 minutes against a near-Championship side. He'll have plenty enough support from the midfield, so there will be no excuse.
