FA Cup Final I Arsenal v Chelsea I 5.30pm, Saturday May 27th

[Latymer]

I'd throw Perez in at rm and start Don Alexis at CF.

But knowing wenger well probably start donkey and try to play on the counter

 

[Penn_]

What's the point in training with 4231? Seems less solid even with the CB situation.

 

[Rain Dance]

Who is the back three then?

Gibbs as LCB?

you don't realize that's why I am conflicted?

 

[Makingtrax]

I live up the road from the Manchester arena & first thing I did was check if any friends or family had gone. Have one friend who is going the cup final on Saturday & he's a bit worried now, but hasn't put him off.
Really hope we can we win it, Chelsea look good, but in one off games anyone can win. I didn' think we would beat City tbh, but we did, so there's always a chance.

Glad you were safe Kellie P.

Our problem this season is that in 9 'one off' games we came a bit unstuck.

Just hoping that when Chelsea come on the pitch and see that all our centre backs are injured they'll be laughing so hard that we can nick a goal then.

Good job you're not the manager @Latymer. Perez is a long shot with all those games under his belt.

The Eva Green one or Bengali Mou? I shaved my head so wanted to flaunt it a bit somehow.

Beautiful Eva . . haven't seen the other one. Thought Mou was a girls name.

Thank you.

Yeah, but one Off cup games are different. Plus, look at Man U, they had no cb's for quite a while & went unbeaten for ages, albeit with a lot of draws.
It's not ideal in any stretch of the imagination, but things happen & they have to deal with it best they can, you never know, the situation might improve by Saturday. They can be real fighters when they put their mind to it.
TBH, as long as they put up a good fight, show that they can compete with the PL winners then I'll be happy. (Ish)!

Oh, it was a South Asian Mourinho lookalike pic Kingslayer found somewhere and said it was me so sort of embraced it for a laugh. The Eva will come back. Need to change from to time.

Wonder who put an end to their 25 game unbeaten run?

If Wenger wins his 7th cup that's as many as Chelsea have won since the club began . . . so maybe one off Cup games for us are different. You're right . . . not something that happens often on AM.

If @Kingslayer found it, it'll be some dodgy copyright photo he saw on Twitter. Probably the young Dalia Lama, taken exclusively for Time magazine.

 

[arsmile]

Id start per at cb over gibbs at lwb

If mustafi does not make it the back 3 might not be an option

 

[Linson]

Holding Mustafi Monreal

Sorted.

If Mustafi isn't available then Mertesacker will have to come in but that suddenly makes it a terribly slow back line. Maybe Monreal would have to play as a sweeper and Holding / Mertesacker play as stoppers.

 

[Latymer]

Good job you're not the manager @Latymer. Perez is a long shot with all those games under his belt.

How much is the club paying you

40 quid/day + 1 penny?

 

[Jury]

@Kellie Price You're a manc gooner, or you moved up there from London?

 

[eyoba]

I feel they are going to be too strong for us. 3-0 to them.

 

[Rimaal]

I'm expecting a loss.

 

[Kellie Price]

@Kellie Price You're a manc gooner, or you moved up there from London?

Haha, No, I'm a Manc gooner, I'm born & bred in Manchester, still live here. Prob sounds strange to you. Esp as I am from a family of Man U fans.
I am jealous of the Londoners though that can get to home games a lot easier than me.

Ha ha, I was sat at home in Manchester watching that Arsenal Utd game with 6 of my Man U supporting family. It was a good day! For me not them! Ha.

Let's hope this one off game works for us!

 

[Trilly]

No fairy tales here lads.

Conte will do the double in his first season. He's a top manager with a top squad. Simple.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Glad I don't play on a team with any of you defeatists, jeez.

Of course, I expect indignant outrage from everyone predicting defeat if we do indeed lose as well.
