Arsenal vs Leeds | 12:45 KO | ITV1 |

I think its 12:45 KO.

Anywho, hosting Leeds saturday in the first round of the FA Cup. Hopefully a win should be likely, but who knows in the FA Cup?

Will post line-ups etc when up.

Predictions:

Mine is 4-1

Szczesny
Eboue, Squillaci, Djourou, Gibbs
Denilson, Song
Rosicky, Arshavin, Chamakh,
Bendtner

Yeah it's 12.45, bit too early to get my drink on but oh well!


I also say 3-1 Arsenal, much like the Spurs replay last year I think we'll equalise then run out of steam and the kids will get on top.

I know Leeds beat Manchester United last year, of course there is the FA Cup to play for but with Leeds going for promotion and not playing a rival there doesn't seem to be as a bigger desire as last years.

Tomorrow? Isn't it on Saturday?

Christ, this is what holidays do to you!


Saturday*

To be honest, I'd rather Leeds went through, well if we get through Liverpool that is..

We are due a FA Cup.

I think Arsenal will look something like this..

------------Chamakh----------
Arshavin---Rosicky--Bendtner
------Denilson--Ramsey------
Clichy-Koscielny-Squillaci-Eboue
--------------Szczesny-------------

I don't think Ramsey will start.

Wenger said Feb earliest didn't he?

I also say 3-1 Arsenal. I pray you don't start Walcott.

Reckon Snoddy will have a fine performance, did it last year against scum, Liverpool & Spurs.

Hernandez hattrick

If Ramsey doesn't start maybe Wilshere or put Rosicky there and get JET in the attack.

That's our probable line-up, pity really cause I'd have Howson in the McCormack role. Also hope that Bruce is fit to replace Collins, Parker to replace Hughes and I hope Watt is fit to play.

Oh my days, imagine Hughes v Walcott. IF that happens I change my estimate to 6-1 at least.

Is Hughes shite? Or slow?

He started last week and he's shite and slow. So is Collins.

We need a new left-back, deep-mid and centre-half, so glad they're coming in after the game.

Collins defensive tactic is interesting. Sort of like 'let the attacker run past, turn like a bus and then try in vain to make up the 5 yard advantage he now has'.


Hughes is like a bus mate! And not one of those sort of good turning bendy ones!

He also likes to run around the ball rather than towards it.

Least he doesn't head it towards his own net like Naylor.

Come on Arsenal.

Hey Mal, if it's okay, could you change my name back to SBSP_FIFA when you've got the chance? Thanks.

Asking me at these ludicrous times..

Pretty please?



EDIT: Darn, too late. Thanks Mal.

Should be a comfortable victory tbh.

Ramsey might be involved apparently but probably wont start.

Wenger said Feb till he's back to his best, but he can play games, as he's already played games for Nottingham Forest so I'd say he can play in the FA Cup as well against Leeds, but i'd say Wenger will wait to see how the game goes and if we are comfortably winning, he'll bring on Ramsey probably. Can't wait to see his reception.

Anyway:

------------ Szczesny ------------
Eboue - Squillaci - Koscielny - Gibbs
------- Eastmond - Denilson -------
---- Bendtner -- Rosicky -- JET ----
------------ Chamakh ------------

Subs:

Fabianski
Clichy
Song
Wilshere
Ramsey
Walcott
Arshavin

I think Gibbs will start now he's fit, I doubt Djourou or Van Persie will have any part, and Nasri will probably be rested I think as he had a slight knock from the City game.

I think Ramsey, Arshavin and Walcott will come on for Eastmond, JET and Chamakh.

Scorre: 3-1

We need to play JET and Vela IMO

Bessone might be able to match Walcott for pace although he is shit and too lazy to run for 90 minutes.

Nunez has to get on the bench this game otherwise he'll probably leave. If he does play then I think he'd have a big part to play in the outcome.

I can't see Nunez playing tomorrow if he's only managed to get 2 substitute appearances in the entire time he's been here.

Would be good to see Vela play, he is pretty darn quick that lad.

Why wont Arshavin be able to play ?

Wouldn't be able to cut it against Paul Connolly and Robert Snodgrass.

Should be an excellent game, I'm going to miss it though
