    I think Ki needs to play to get back to his best form. Poor against Hull, game off then repeated v Saints. Need him firing for the final. Not a red card risk either and seems to avoid injury.

    Aye, leave Borini out and push Giacch out there, Ki in. Giacch must have summit, he gets into his National team ahead of Borini. I fancy Conner to do it today tho. Run the German ragged.

    play your strongest side to try and get points on the board ,thats what league games are for isnt it,the whole point of the exercise ,start trying to duck and dive without any other reason than a cup game coming up i think would be a mistake ,the final will look after its self next sunday.

    Not just a cup game tho stu, our biggest game in 20yrs. If we lose at arsenal that wouldn't be a big loss anyway in the grand scheme of things. I agree pick your strongest team apart from Catts, he must not be risked

    Really? Why drop our best players? You don't rest players in the league game before a cup final. You have to play them. Play strongest 11.

    Stu, your manners are appalling.

    Disagree totally. We don't have a cup final until after today's game. All that matters right now is the game against arsenal. Not next week's game

    Exactly, besides, regarding the cup final, surely we want our strongest team to be conditioned from a game against top quality opposition with a nice 8 days to the final. As suppose to a 90 minute 10 man graft in a ruined game against Hull that happened three weeks and a day before the final.

    Strongest team for me. **** it, play Catts. He's only been booked three times this season. He'll never shrug off this reputation if us fans maintain it.

    Intresting that Everton have decided not to play a striker today. Naismith up front on his own <yikes>

    The new statue of Dennis Bergkamp. Looks pretty uncomfortable to have pole up his arse for an eternity. Some girth his arsehole I tell you <laugh>

    Where did you hear that? :eek:

    I'm expecting to see him play to regain some confidence after the penalty miss against Bayern.

    What a legend. Thanks for posting the pic :)

    Hoping he goes in and has a word with the team before the game today and they come out fired up.

    Nick it for your match thread fella. 2nd greatest footballer I've been lucky enough to watch in the flesh. A true genius. <ok>
