CC Final * Arsenal - Birmingham City * Sun 27 Feb 4:00pm-SS1

[AFCG7]

Great..two disgusting thuggish teams in a row , we have to win this game though , nothing but the best available side on Sunday!

 

[Clrnc]

How long did you draft that and planned for this thread OTBGG Well done great work.

First app in Wembley! Hoping for a simple and morale boosting win

Not quite, we've already "played" there in the 2009 FA Cup Semis vs Chelski.

My bad, forgotten about that ops:

 

[Kroket]

I'm ready to read in the papers ".....who haven't won a major trophy for six years...." after Sunday.

So bring them on, let's win this thing.

I think they'll focus on us not winning the league for six years which sounds even worse than haven't won a trophy in five years.

I envy you.

 

[MAK 14]

All the lads need to be up for this, this is the biggest game we've had in ages. No one can afford to hide.

Really, really hope van Persie and Cesc are back for this. Theo too, but that looks very unrealistic.

Nothing against that, if they'd do that to Spuds as well.
50 years sounds worse than six years. :wink:

 

[Rorz]

Biggest match in ages. Strongest team possible, and hope that no one suffers stage fright. We need top performances from everyone!

 

[squallkid]

Walcott is out this sunday, no chance of playing according to Wenger, ankle sprain.

 

[MAK 14]

Really feel bad for Theo. He's been playing so well and just when our chance comes to finally win some silverware he gets injured. Just his luck.

I didn't want to remember so subconciously I told myself to forget that disaster

 

[Bossa]

Hmmmm, guess we will play this then.

Szscesny
Sagna Koscielny Squillaci Clichy
Nasri Song Wilshere
Bendtner RVP Arshavin

 

[Kroket]

Only player for us who scored at the new Wembley and also the only player in the current squad to score in a cup final for us.

 

[squallkid]

He'll still get a winners medal though.

I want to see this team

----Chesney----

Sagna-Djourou-Koscielny-Clichy

-------Song---wilshere---

Rosicky------Nasri----Arshavin----

---------Van Persie--------

 

[Clrnc]

Hmmmm, guess we will play this then.

Szscesny
Sagna Koscielny Squillaci Clichy
Nasri Song Wilshere
Bendtner RVP Arshavin

Djourou? Add him in and I am happy with the lineup.

Not willing to risk Cesc with Barca coming up

---------Van Persie--------

That'll work for me too although I'd rather swap Nasri and Rosicky around. Those three attacking midfielders have linked up well in the past though, add Wilshere and Van Persie to the mix and we should have plenty to overcome them.

 

[OohtobeaGoonerGal]

I hope Theo gets dressed up in one of those suits that players wear for finals, and can cheer on the boys from the side. He knows what it's like to play and score in the final of this, and I'm sure he's devastated.

 

[Bossa]

Szscesny
Sagna Koscielny Squillaci Clichy
Nasri Song Wilshere
Bendtner RVP Arshavin

Oh oops, Dj for Sq of course

 

[NasrisShoelace]

I'd rather play Denilson with Song and Wilshere ahead of them than have Rosicky in the team.

 

[russkiegooner]

Szscesny
Sagna Koscielny Squillaci Clichy
Nasri Song Wilshere
Bendtner RVP Arshavin

Hope Cesc is available. Theo will definitely be out.

If Cesc's out, then agree with this line-up. Wouldn't start Arshavin for this one but we hardly have any choice.

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

Theo will be lifting the Cup alongside his team-mates, just like Vieira did in 2003 with the FA Cup.

A shame that he won't be playing, though.
Howver, he's still young and will get plenty of chances to leave a big mark in a final.
