You'd get better odds on wenger handing in his notice tomorrow...or making a sub in the first half - with no injuries to report.. or wenger actually taking the blame for all our failures of the last 10 years and owning up that he is getting huge amounts of money for old rope...

sad but true

the baggies will turn up to win...we will play comatose and emerge from the sleepy tippy tappy game that wenger has instilled into the team - just in time to play attacking foootball for the last 15 minutes to try and equalise.....

.@Arsenal team to play West Brom: Ospina, Bellerin, Gabriel, Mertesacker, Gibbs, Coquelin, Cazorla, Wilshere, Ozil, Alexis, Walcott #AFCvWBA
2:00pm - 24 May 15


Ospina starts I'm only presuming he will play in the cup final,makes absolutely no sense not to give chesney game time today and then play him in the final.

Sanchez has looked knackered over the last few games,so not sure why he starts today.

Makes no sense to play Szczesny at all as long as Ospina is fit imo.

It's not like a GK runs 10 miles during game anyway so I don't see the point of resting him for any games.

Szczesny is ok, I don't mind him at all but just think Ospina is the better keeper.

You really can't see any logic or argument for giving Chesney a game before he's brought in for a Cup Final? - the guy hasn't played in weeks; I don't see that as ideal preparation for any player so even if you don't agree, I'm surprised you can't see any sense in it.

Obviously Ospina should play the cup final, but I'm expecting our cup keeper to play. Especially as he was benched last year.

I understand the logic of giving Szczesny a warm up game if indeed he'll be playing in the final but what I don't see is the need to play him at all as Ospina should be used for the final.

I agree, todays game will be a boring 0-0 with us not being able to break down the 11 man defence that that N00b Pulis will put out.

Agreed, but we all thought that last year with Flappy so I'm assuming Chesney will play.

Also, I know it doesn't matter to us, but on a personal level, can you imagine how pissed off Chesney would be if Wenger's cup keeper rule that benched Chesney last year wasn't applied this year, resulting in another cup final on the bench for Chesney? :oops: :lol:
