    Fresh from crushing the “Arse” at St Mary’s in the cup yesterday, Ralph and the boys will be up for it on Tuesday when (according to the “unbiased” pundits) its key for Arsenal to do well as they’re 7 points off the top 4. Never mind that we’re 2 points ahead of them.
    No idea about officials (help - anyone?) but a few stats -
    Saints have only won 1 of their last 10 PL games vs Arsenal but all 7 of our wins vs them have been at home.
    No doubt Keown and co will be rooting for the “big team” to win over the upstarts ....

    Discuss and COYS!!!

    I bet they will be loving the prospect of another trip down the M3!

    Is Romeu still out? If so same team.

    We'll have this. We're confident and we're capable even through periods missing a chunk of the squad. Arsenal are nervy and uncertain of themselves.

    I also note that we're 9/4 to win this - didn't someone say Saturday's odds were 5/1? It suggests that the money has suddenly realised that we're Actually Quite Good At The Moment?

    Yes, so I guess Vokins will step in. Personally I feel Ibrahima has earned his place since Romeu’s been out so I think I’d have Oriol on the bench.

    During the totally unbiased commentary on Saturday, Keown mentioned Romario, so we might use him, instead <whistle>

    Shouldn't this go in the Transfer Rumours thread? ;)

    Looks the most likely

    Wouldn’t be surprised if wingers were the other way round with Armstrong instructed to support/shield Vokins

    Him and Theo usually switch during a match anyway.

    Big fan of this and the Ralph didn’t used to do it
    If your wingers are roasting the full backs, fine, otherwise change the problem for them particularly if your wingers are stronger on different feet
