For once, I disagree with you. I am going to this and it's going to be cold and I want to see us progress with a good performance.

A final few words from the boss, specifically about the task facing his side at the KC Stadium tomorrow.
"We treat it like it is the most important game of the season because it is the next one," says Wenger
"I will have to rotate a little bit to keep the right balance," he then says.

The most important game of the season, but he will rotate. Is there no end to this mans bullshit?

He is not saying it's the most important game of the season really, he's saying that every next game is the most important game of the season. He's just using his usual trickery with words. I can't stand him any more. I felt a bit sad about it all not long ago still wanted him to leave though), now I just can't wait for him to leave and to take Wigwam stan with him.

As hard as I analyse that statement I still can't figure out what it means?? Somebody...anybody...???
If you really break it down it means the balance wasn't/isn't right at the moment.... I think?? :? :shock: :?

It means he will treat it like it's the most important game of the season as it's the next one and he hasn't had a decent result since the last minute goal against 10 man Leicester and he needs a decent result against anybody and going out the FA cup to lower league opposition would just intensify the pressure.
However they might to rotate the team to rest some players to keep them fresh for the lost CL cause and the assault on the title which he dreams is still possible.
The simplest explanation is usually the most the likely to be true. He is just making it up as he goes along.

Should play the strongest team possible tonight and if we get through on Saturday. We could do with a build up of league games and play as many as we can with Cazorla available.
Sanchez, Giroud and Walcott should start up front they need to get some confidence in front of goal.

Campbell should start tomorrow. Here's why.... the fans were absolutely pissed when he got subbed against Swansea so Wenger couldn't possibly start him in the NLD otherwise it would look like he was wrong and the fans were right. Cannot have that... BUT, he normally rotates for the FA cup so he can safely play Campbell without being seen as compromising his lofty principles or his "I know best policy" which has failed him so spectacularly for the past decade :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

It'll be a 'battle' of who wants to be in the cup the least. Disgraceful, but typical of modern football.

If Hull decide to bottle it, I can't complain. It's just that TOF may want to bottle it as well despite it being the best chance we have of winning something this season. I hope it doesn't go to penalties after 120 minutes of tedious sideways shite.
Wenger gives the impression of a man who sees these domestic contests as a nuisance. He perks up when CL rolls around. Why, I do not know??? Does he not realise we see him as an inspector Clouseau on the European stage, organizing, rallying his men for one more crack at it.He's already said it's full strength ahead for the Barca clash. The truth is Wenger & Arsenal are pretty much irrelevant in Europe.Pretty much thrown in the towel for the PL but still holding out hope we can go to the Nou camp & win 3 - 0. But we can't go to OT and win. Hell we can't go to the Hawthornes & win :shock: :( :shock:
Slight amendment made for you :wink:

Much as Giroud and Walcott need confidence, neither deserves to start over Campbell or Welbeck both of whom work hard for the team and should be in on merit based on performances.

Naaaah! What he is actually saying is - he will fit square pegs into round holes and round pegs into square holes...and those holes will be balanced in an un-balanced way, having established that we are also playing away, the tilt of the pitch will need to be taken into consideration - Therefore the players will play with a natural slant to accommodate what many other managers would not even take into consideration. In order to play in a way that is 'naturally slanted' they need to play with a new approach to what they usually do not, in order to achieve this they will wear the new design boots - where the outside rim of the boots and the 'studs' are equidistant but slightly longer than the studs on the inner rim of the boots - But only on the left boot when playing right to left...and then at half time they change the boots so that it is the opposite of what they did in the first half....All this and then - Ahh Haaa! THEN Wenger uses his disguise tactic - he makes a substitution before they even kick off......the players are told one thing on the coach to the ground...and then 45 minutes before they go out to 'warm up' he re-iterates what he said to them, only he changes it...having done this he then puts some round pegs in round holes and some square pegs in square holes....but only for the first 20 minutes of the game...THEN everything changes.... which allows those that are not round pegs to become fully fledged square pegs and those that are not square pegs but wish they were...are allowed to be substituted between the 60th and 70th minute.

Yeah! and you thought Old Clueless didn't do Tactics' !???

Well think again - think square pegs, round holes and round pegs, square holes. ....If you can grasp that most complicated of simplistic methods of formation and playing strategies then you too can be the manager of THE Arsenal.

COYG's! :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:
