HUGE worry!
Think Wenger will choose Arshavin wide left, Nasri in middle and Bendtner wide right.
RvP in front.
Very unlikely that Wenger would do it, but my choice would be Gibbs left, Arshavin middle and Nasri right.
Means we have bench of: Almunia, plus six from Gibbs, Eboue, Squillachi, Denilson, Rosicky Diaby, Chamakh.
That is a shite bench, imagine having to rely on any of those guys to change the game.
Chammy maybe if we are going to do the long ball but how good are we at that and doing it against B'ham would be a bit like them trying to go all tiki-taka against us...doomed to fail

Cruel trying to get anyones hopes up.
I know its just the beer cup but it feels like it will have such a huge impact on the rest of the season. Lifting the cup without theo and cesc would add massive confidence!

Nothing else planned. Officially, REDaction only organise things for home games, but were asked to provide the flag design (via Dan) for Sunday. You should have seen the first 'official' draft, it had Nike ticks and Emirates A380 planes on it!
The plan is to then to take ownership of the flag to take over from the 'UNITED COLOURS' one for home games.
