fair enough pires has gone centre mid late in games but i've never seen it from the start.

birmingham away? all the match previews dont list cesc in the squad.

I woke up this morning having a huge, huge feeling that Reyes will score today....

 

[patrick42uk]

arseblog confirms that cesc will start today. hope he does ok, it will be a huge test for the lad. i cant really see him playing badly because he is class, but how much will he be able to impose himself and dictate the game's pace? if he comes through this looking good, it will confirm we have a star in the making.

On the other hand, don't get upset if he fails to shine.
Keane and Scholes are a formidable midfield partnership to play againt when your 17.

I think it will be very good for Cesc to start today. Even if he doesn't do well, he can learn from it and know where he has to improve. I have faith in the lad though.

With the amount of injuries we have, I can't see us winning it unless it is after a penalty shootout. I am still unsure about whether I want us to win anyway. This curse thing is probably bullshit, but these things do bother me. ops:

 

[pome]

lets win it then break the curse!

 

[Jose_Reyes_2005]

I can see us beating united -you have to remember they'v got a big game on wednesday so not all their stars will be playing either - and when you think about it we'r not going to be playing a bad team, with reyes, bergy, persie, pires, toure, and possible even ashley and freddie its pretty much a very, very good side !

We'll destroy them !

Wow thats a surprising line up !!

I thaught cole wouldnt make it - cesc starting is a HUGE surprise i have to admit - and HENRY !!! **** YEA !!!!

Just disappointed with Reyes playing on the left - other than that - thats a fantastic lineup!

Thanks GoonerGurjit

 

[Evil Dragon]

Strong Lineup for both sides, much stronger than expected. Should be a good game.

 

[Henry IV]

Great to see Pennant and Fabregas both starting.

 

[Evil Dragon]

:roll: Five Live commentater just said that it is a big day for Fabregas the young BRAZILIAN

 

[Jose_Reyes_2005]

[Gunner Ossie]
