    I know we have the Norwich game first, but I do not give a **** about that game. The Cup Final is massive and for me it's huge that we end the trophy drought, because if we do, then I think it gives us a chance to progress next season, because our players would have finally won something. So it's key that Wenger picks the right team, I know some might say, 'it's only Hull', but for me that does not matter. Wenger needs to pick the right team and get his tactics spot on.

    The tough calls:

    Chensey vs Fab: There is already a thread for this, and I think it's important that we give Chensey a chance to win something because he is our long term number one.

    Arteta vs Flamini: Wenger is going to pick Arteta, but for me, Flamini is the better player and gives us more energy, plus his combination with Ramsey was great earlier in the season.

    Podolski vs Chamberlain/Rosicky: Pod is in great form and is a lethal finisher, but Rosicky has been with us for 8 years and has given great service, also Wenger normally always picks him for the big games, and Rosicky gives more in terms of the general play, while the OX offers us real speed, Interesting decision for Wenger.

    Rosicky not even on the bench? No chance. Has to be on the bench at the very least, ahead of Diaby for sure.

    Wilshere in the hole? Would he even be fully fit?

    Arteta will start. he is our vice captain, plus against hull we will see at lot of the ball and he is a much better passer than Flamini.

    Fabianski in goal. Wenger will try and use this as an incentive to make him stay. Plus he won us that penalty shoot-out against Wigan.

    I would start Rosicky, with Podolski and Chamberlain on the bench if we need to switch things around.

    Sczeczney

    Sagna
    Mert
    Kos
    Gibbs

    Arteta
    Ramsey

    Caz
    Ozil
    Pod

    Giroud

    Wouldn't rush Wilshere back. Would keep Flamini as a defensive option. Hopefully Ramsey is fit in time for the final.

    You scousers really have had a chip on your shoulder concerning Arsenal all season, I wish we win it, not just for the joy it will bring, but because of how bitter you guys are going to be.

    I'd start Fab in goal, he got us to the final so he deserves his place in the final.

    Also Arteta over Flamini for me, he's a better passer and won't get overrun by the Hull MF

    Pod on the left, he's earned his place there.

    Rosicky, Oxo, Flamini on the bench

    As much as I would like to see Chesney win a trophy with us, you can't take Fabianski out after playing the rest of the games

    I really don't think you showed the necessary faith in Diaby by leaving him out in goal! Outrageous!

    If flappy is going to stay I'd start him, if not then Szcz needs to start.
