    That would be incredible. Instill some belief in the players and give momentum to go on and secure 4th. A loss...and it could all go downhill from here. 5-1 here we come ;)

    Was quite a game! Gibbs, Ox, Pod, Giroud and Ramsey with the goals.

    The pressure is on Wenger indeedio, but these players also have to perform, and fight for the manager, let's see how loyal they really are to Wenger. Talk is cheap, if they want to help the coach, then the best way to do it will be by winning today and going into the cup final.

    I'll have 7 minutes to try and get home from work. Bet I miss a goal

    You should do stand-up more often.

    Starting to get butterflies now. The pressure is massive in this game, we simply cannot afford to lose.

    Starting line up:

    ------------flappy----------
    Sagna--mert--verm--Montreal
    ------Arteta---Ramsey-----
    Oxocube---Cazorla---podolski
    ----------Sanogo--------

    Similar to what we expected I think, good to see Ramsey is fit to start and some pace out wide.

    Arsenal XI: Fabianski, Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Monreal, Arteta, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey, Cazorla, Podolski, Sanogo

    If I'm the Wigan manager, I'm rubbing my hands at the left side of that defense.

    Sanogo brace and an Oxo opener. Giroud with the 4th in the last 10 minutes. 4-0.

    Maybe Gibbs but he just came back from injury.

    Gibbs obviously wasn't fit enough to start or he would have IMO.

    Sagna at LB, Jenks at RB. Just a personal opinion but there must be consequences for poor performances and after the Everton performance it's obvious that there are problems with the left side of defense when Vermaelen and Monreal play together.
    Good to see Giroud dropped.

    With the bench we have available I'm thinking giroud will come on in the second half and kallstrom will probably get some game time as well. Maybe eisfeld will get a chance to play if we are cruising?
