If there are less than 13,000 there today, I think we can officially pronounce the FA Cup dead. There may be a bounce from the Chelsea win I suppose. For me and perhaps a few other old timers will be very sad indeed, but the competition has been ruined by the Prem.
I did like Wengers comment about it only being his 4th priority after CL, PL, and CL qualification. After 7 years without a trophy I bet most Gooners aren't that fussy.
Nelsen, Hill, Adel, Mackie all need a rest today, perhaps M'bia too.
Both playing strong teams. Quite surprised tbh.
I predict lots of goals in this one.
Nine days until our next game, no reason to rest anyone imo.
West Brom are playing their strongest 11
You won't be saying that if Nelsen, Cesar, Mackie, M'Bia or, worst of all, Taarabt get a bad injury!!
Probably not. I've not forgotten Mackie or Faurlin' injuries. But in the end of the day we run that risk in every game. Think it's important to win ANY game we enter, especially after the Chelsea win it's important to keep that momentum going and get ourself a home win before Tottenham next week.
