Least you get to see a round of 16 match

Will be a pretty shit atmosphere I expect.

 

[cesc fabregas]

Really looking forward to the Newcastle game. I think we will line up fairly strong. Maybe like this:
--------------Szsezsny--------------
--Eboue--Koscielny--Djourou--Gibbs--
--------------Denilson---------------
---------Lansbury--Rosicky-----------
--JET--------------------------Vela--
--------------Bendtner---------------

 

[ShearMagic9]

I'd imagine we'd line-up with:

Krul
Perch - Coloccini - Kadar - Ferguson
Routledge - Guthrie - Smith - Jonas
Ameobi or Carroll - Lovenkrands

Agree with Cesc though, it should be a really good game.

 

[r dub 19]

Looking forward to seeing JET play, he is too good for reserves now. theo will get a run too I'd imagine.

 

[premiers06]

Which game/s are on foxtel? If

 

[ObaMartins]

Man U v Wolves and Newcastle v Arsenal

Ranger will either play upfront or on Jonas wing with Routledge on the other. Carroll won't play, the biggest game of the season on Sunday. Can't see CH taking to many risks, especially with Wenger desperate to win something(anything) and fielding a pretty strong line-up. Not really worth it.

Krul
Perch - Coloccini - Kadar - Ferguson
Routledge - Guthrie - Smith - Ranger
Ameobi - Lovenkrands

Campbell will play for Colo if he's over that injury(doubtful)

 

[Benno_900]

FWIW, Wenger on the Carling Cup ...

"We will play with a good team. Some players need games and we want to give ourselves a good chance to qualify so we will play with a strong team."

I think cesc's team is pretty much spot on. Walcott could start though, but JET deserves a game so don't know where he'd fit in.

 

[that_dood]

Will probably get up to watch this because I expect a good game.

I hope Szczczczny is in goals because I don't think I have seen him play yet and he will probably get some action being in Newcastle.

Bendtner & Walcott will probably feature and Vela will play surely.

 

[P.A.F.C]

Last time we changed the whole first team I think. I expect the same tonight. Hopefully Dorrans can fine some form.

 

[cesc fabregas]

JET could be off to QPR on loan for the rest of the season, which means he probably won't be involved on thrusday morning. Guess Walcott starts then.

 

[r dub 19]

From here on in we should really win this, not sure wenger will feel the same but we have enough depth imo.

 

[belfast_bomber]

Brum through after knocking out Brentford on penos... needed a 90th minute equaliser to to take it to extra time.

Another late winner from Hernandez (swoon) saw Manchester United finally see off a dogged Wolves (sorry) 3-2.

Ipswich 3-1 Northampton after Northampton took the lead.

West Brom win 1-4 at Leicester.

And Wigan 2-0 over Martinez's old boys Swansea.

 

[manureid]

Goal (fortuitous maybe) for Bebe.....and has a new terrace song:

He's tall, he's thin, you'll find him in a bin, it's Bebe, it's Bebe..

 

[ObaMartins]

Very strong Arsenal side, confident about this one though.

 

[r dub 19]

Some opening!

 

[ObaMartins]

Smudge could have had goal of the year

Ranger should of scored. Great game so far.

 

[Hlebalicious]

Own goal to end the half by Krul lol. Action packed first half so far

 

[r dub 19]

wat was that i dont even.

 

[belfast_bomber]

Arsey goal, but they all count. Right on half time too.

Will go down as an OG will it?

 

[ObaMartins]

Man, what a shame.

Did so well to hold on for the first and last 15mins.

Every chance to get one back. Ranger and Smith with goals in the second.

 

[Ry009]

F***ing Tyler, as soon as he said Hughton would love to go in 0-0, knew we'd concede one late.

 

[r dub 19]

game should really be about 2-2.

 

[ObaMartins]

Eboue is going to ground by the time somebody gets within a metre of him. Bloody mongrel.
