Has everyone forgotten ther's a match on tomorrow? I'll be taking advantage of our Directors generosity and will be on the £5 buses to The Emirates. Here's to extra time and a Swans win on penalties
Here's just to winning after 90 minutes and saving our energy. . Funny isn't it. Not so long ago this would have been the match of the season, now it's an irritating extra we could have avoided - we've all been more focused on Chelsea. Am I correct in thinking that Koscielny will be suspended for the match following his red card against City. This means that Mertesacker will be further exposed against Michu. I think we should play the speed merchants tomorrow - Pablo and Routledge and JDG. Big game for Bartley if he gets to start at the Emirates.
Great quote on Fox Soccer Channel tonight as they highlighted tomorrows game. "It's a David and Goliath game, Swansea are always David, the only times they are Goliath is when they play Cardiff. Almost pissed my pants.
Yes Koscielny is suspended. Arsenal are also without Arteta. We're in with a real shout here, but I have two concerns - if their better players like Cazorla hit form tonight we could be in for it, and I'm told that Laudrup doesn't believe in practicing penalties so it looks lke we have to do the business in 90 or extra time.
Really looking forward to tonight's match and hope we play as a strong attacking team. Arsenal had a really tough game sunday and another one with Chelsea following ours. I hope we take advantage of this and take the game to them.
Would be great to play Brighton, as it is just down the road. In terms of our next three games is the one I am least worried about, of course I always want us to win. If we are injury free, keep our squad motivated and few cards then I would take it. A win would just be a massive bonus!
Let's have the cup double !!! Perhaps trophies are like buses. You wait 100 years for one to come along and ....... People say I'm a dreamer!
Brighton will be tough (assuming we go through). I've seen alot of them over recent years and they play nice football, have a new stadium and a new lease of life. Should be a good match. Arsenal willbe favourites today but with our run in the other cup I'm not paying it too much mind.
I just hope that Swansea decides to have a go at it. Especially since the players has already shown great defensive discipline in the last two matches. This would be a great game for ML to reward them by saying "just go out and have fun" to the boys. It is a long season after all.
Typical ESPN pundits even after all this time their still calling Mr Laudrup Brian (Barnes what a plank) and what happened to Sousa
Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Diaby, Coquelin, Walcott, Wilshere, Cazorla, Giroud. Subs: Mannone, Podolski, Andre Santos, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey, Arshavin, Jenkinson. Swansea: Vorm, Bartley, Richards, Chico, Tiendalli, Agustien, Britton, Routledge, de Guzman, Dyer, Graham. Subs: Tremmel, Michu, Hernandez, Monk, Shechter, Ki, Davies.
Jazz is left back - great for him. Solid back four. Michu is rested - Wenger has to be sooooo happy with that.
