Finally managed to get a couple of tickets for this and will be in Blk 117 :D :barscarf:

Hope Cesc is being over cautious but he's probably not going to make it :( , now that coupled with Walcott for this game and Barca away is a blow so most hope RvP and Kos was just a precaution.

My team without CF4 and TW14 has to be

The Arsenal's REAL No.1

Sagna Kos Djourou Clichy

Nasri Song Wilshire

RvP Chamakh Arshavin

We should be able to beat them with that team, fingers crossed no more injuries. The bench is a bit of a worry as we have no impact players left, we should get Lansbury back FFS we need him more than Norwich.

Anyway looking forward to Sunday :barscarf: :barscarf:

Exactly my team if Cesc aint fit. Either that or Diaby for Nicky B, but playing in the middle, and Nasri wide! COYG :barscarf:

So you would both prefer Barry big bollocks to Chamakh. Did you see his performance again last night.

AW isn't going to play him upfront and he would do that with Chamakh. At the start of the season Nasri,Chamakh and Arshavin built up a pretty good relationship and it's what got us this far in the compatition and kept us in the hunt for the league whilst Rvp and CF4 were out injured.

I'm hoping they will get that back especially with Arshavin getting back to what he was before and Nasri having had a 3 week break. Barry late on to TRY and hold the ball up in their end.

Yea I did! Works hard, players ceratinly like playing with him and set up the goal. :roll:

AW seems to prefer him as well and Chammy aint done much of late. Know he's had a lay off, and I do really like Marouanne, but you play whose playing better, simples!

Was looking forward to Sunday anyway as first chance for my boys to sample a Wembley Cup Final, having been in Cardiff for the CC Final against Chavs.

But I just realised that it's actually 18 fecking years since I was at a Wembley final......the FAC final replay against Sheff Wed in 1993! Better make the most of it then - and pray we do actually lift a trophy!

That year I went Scum Semi final, LC Final, FA Cup final and FA Cup replay

hopefully Kos in for Squillaci and RVP in for Chamakh...?
(Cesc in for Bendy with Nas wide even better!)
