Everyone expect Arsenal to cruise through this cup tie against this League one opponent. Wenger can afford to rotate his squad since we have another match next mid-week. Wenger can afford to rest some of his main players if he dare to take the risk. So my guess on the line-up tonight: Fabianski, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Flamini, Wilshere, Ozil, Gnabery, Oxlade/Cazorla and Podolski/Giroud. Bench: Viviano, Monreal, Bendtner, Sagna, Zelama and Sanogo. Arsenal is on a 6 match winning streak and I expect this run will continue to be the longest for this season. Our next real test will be in March against Chel$ki at Stamford Bridge. Can we break Mourinho's unbeaten run at their fortress? We see but at the moment we have to see from game to game and I expect a 4-0 victory tonight against Coventry. Go Gunners!!!! |

So if it ends up a tough FA Cup encounter that Arsenal wins by, let's say, 2-nil, will Wenger have somehow mismanaged the match? Of course he will have. I call this one Prelude to a Piss. Edited by JustOneDennisBergkamp, Jan 24 2014, 12:39 PM.

From Le Boss prior to this match: "We have to prepare seriously for this game, because we are on a good run and it will be really not welcome at all not to take this game seriously," Wenger said. "We are still in a moment of our lifetime, this team, where we want to gain respect and through our attitude is the best way to gain respect." "Football maybe is the only sport which can make it so unpredictable and that is why it is so interesting as well," said Wenger. "If you have two or three divisions' difference in basketball or rugby, volleyball or handball, you cannot do it, but in football you can." Wenger recalled last season's shock fifth-round exit at home to Championship side Blackburn. He said: "It was the first time in 16 years that we lost against lower league opposition in the FA Cup, so that was a great warning. "At the moment, this is just our next game and we want to win it." |

That'll do. I'm just wondering if Gibbs is now the second choice at LB. |
