    Meth is a legend, the United fans on here should be grateful to him,because without him their board would be like a graveyard.

    Back on topic, a video from our last game against Chelsea, which was a while back. Mata was the difference on that day, and sadly he is likely to feature on Tuesday. :(

    All I see are a million matchday threads, it's like being in the twilight zone... an unfixed state between two realities..

    We have the best striker in the world, Mata would consider himself blessed to be on the same pitch as him

    We look a lot more solid defensively. I see a performance similar to that against Manchester City two seasons ago, where we lost 1-0 to a late goal.

    I see Meth is claiming he's autistic <laugh> #notbuyingitforonesecond

    OK, if were making up excuses for rubbish posts, then i'm Bi-polar.

    Regarding the actual football tonight, as long as we can keep the score down, i'm happy. I have no interest in this tournament, we should save our squad for the league, the way we're racking up injuries, more younger players will probably have to step up to the first team later this season.

    I have to agree with this really. I'd like to see us win, but I won't be too disappointed if we go out tonight. We've got bigger priorities to concentrate on and this comp is a squad drainer.

    Arsenal: Fabianski, Jenkinson, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Monreal, Ramsey, Wilshere, Rosicky, Cazorla, Ryo, Bendtner

    Subs: Viviano, Sagna, Hayden, Yennaris, Ozil, Giroud, Park

    Shocked that Ramsey is playing.

    ramsey and wilshere in the pivot midfield role. let's see how that works out, when both have been playing a lot of football out wide recently. surprised hayden isn't starting, but wenger obviously doesn't want to just throw this cup completely away.
    interesting that park is on the bench. a late run-out if we're winning towards the end?

    This game would have been perfect for Gnabry, but that's a decent enough line up. I reckon we'll give Chelsea a decent game.
