I might be missing something here, but I always thought the lap of appreciation by the players was more directed at them to us, ie the players appreciating the fans.

In which case one lap would not be enough...

It’s alright, they will walk around slowly for 90 minutes but never look like making a complete lap anyway.

I say they are forced to run until they collapse of exhaustion. Be more entertaining than the football.

Maybe we could borrow some of Marwell Zoo's faster animals, give the players a 20m head start, and see if any of them make it to the safety of the stands. We could make it the half-time entertainment, instead of the relay

THB and Bednarek out. Almost forced into not playing a back 5 as no way ABK plays either. But I’m sure he’ll find a way, another game of Aribo at CB? If it’s Bree then you have to play KWP which from the interviews, Rusk doesn’t really want to play him knowing he’s off and we have the mighty 12 points now. And doesn’t seem likely that Sugawara will suddenly appear either.

What an exciting final lineup of the season we have on our hands…

May as well play some nippers for all this match means.

Maybe there'll be a 'can you play?' message taped to the underside of some seats in the ground, together with a pair of boots...

So much for not wanting fans on the pitch. Might need some at this rate.

Funny that all the players rumoured to be off are suddenly ill or injured. I think that all but confirms THB & Bednarek are off.
 
Sutton's prediction: 0 - 2 Southampton held out for a draw against Manchester City in their previous home game but I expect they are still too worn out from celebrating that point to get anything here.

Superstar DJ and producer Paul Oakenfold, who is a Chelsea fan's prediction: 0 - 1 Arsenal to edge it.
 
As much as I was delighted at the end of the City game I really hope we're a bit more ambitious tomorrow as it'd be nice to have an actual shot or two.

We've not scored in May yet and have barely had any meaningful attempts on goal even.

Lack of CBs too, so might as well try something different. Really nothing to lose at this point. I'd like to see Robinson start, particularly as he didn't play in the youth PL2 final. Be nice if we started a striker too. Maybe if we play one less defender we could even play Stewart AND Archer. Or maybe we'll just play for the 0-0 again and pack the defence.
