FA Cup 4th Round: Southampton v Arsenal | Saturday, January 23 | KO: 12:15 UTC | BT Sport

Is that a Lucas Perez sighting?

Only Arsène could make some of those players play like that, imagine Arteta with some of these guys? We’d get relegated.

Ok well before you have a **** over Wenger beating Southampton’s second string remember he was also responsible for this.

Leno, AMN, Gabriel, Chambers, Martinelli, Nelson, Pepe and Eddie should start for me. Rest Auba, Holding, Tierney. Don't care about others. But probably Willian will get a start instead of Nelson

I mean, you chose to stay in Canada...easily could have moved somewhere else, tbh,

 

[Dutch D]

Definitely have to rest Tierney, ESR, Saka and be careful with Partey. I don't think Auba is a player who really fatigues too much.

I would go something like:

Leno
Bellerin - Holding - Gabriel - Cedric
Maitland-Niles - Ceballos / Willock
Pepe - Nelson - Aubameyang
Nketiah

Bring in Martinelli for Auba if we manage to take the lead.

Play the strongest team in this and Europa, two trophies to win. **** the league.

Lovely hattrick from Robert, in a warm-up to the FA cup final that season...


...that is a ****ing superb chip by Pires...imagine not thinking Bobby is a level above the sister in law shagger!

Jermaine Pennant got a hat trick in this game aswell. What a collector's item.

Had a decent career in the end did Pennent.

Heh, Pennant. He was drunk on SSN

All things considering. His was a case of too much money too soon IMO - perhaps with more incentive could have had a better career but he did good in the end. Peaked at Liverpool, played in a Champions League Final even.

Batshit bonkers though, bless the lad.

A quick G&T and you're good to go.

I think it was Liam Brady that said that with the start in life that Pennant had, he had done well for himself.

 

[Riou]

@MutableEarth Chelsea in the mud, as per...


...since it's your fav team, should tag you is this too @GoonerJeeves

Saw him and Jamie O’Hara playing in the Isthmian league with a crowd of two men and a dog.

I would play our second XI and that includes whoever is supposed to be our reserve keeper at the moment. If that gets us knocked out, so be it let the lesson be learnt that having a decent second keeper should never be ignored.

I would love us to win a trophy but I don't kid myself, this season is still not about looking up the table. Leno gets a bad injury in this game and we could be dragged back into the relegation battle.

Our second string, that of course includes half a dozen bench players, should be good enough against their second team or even against a weakened first team but the 4th Round of the cup is still too far away from Wembley to take risks in our current situation.

If Leno gets injured, Runnarson will at most play one game before a replacement is secured. Perhaps 3 due to Covid restrictions. No chance they won't bring someone in quick.

Let's not talk about this. Gives me anxiety just thinking about it.
