I'll be honest, I can't be bothered for this fixture, or a cup distraction right now. However losing this is not an option, lets fucking trounce these qunts

I wanna beat these wankers so bad. I'm worried about the team that Chauncey Wenger's gonna put out though - a lot of injuries, niggles, fatigue for us.

If we go on to win the league then I won't be too bothered about getting knocked out by this lot but you can't call that at the moment. It's a gamble & we should be aiming to stay in all competitions for as long as possible.

Come on Arsenal, please trounce these *word censored*.

Can't wait to go to this one, will be a great atmosphere for sure, and hopefully we batter them.
Got a seat right at the top of the North bank, but a load of seats have just become available on the lower tier :evil:

Gonna be a tough one - glad we're at home. Gutted Ozil isn't going to be fit.

Can't believe Wenger will have the stones to give the fans two fingers and rest players for this. Can he?

Although he may sidestep it by claiming that players he wants to rest are "not quite there yet" or something similar so that team selection can't be criticised if we lose.

Giroud, Bendtner and Sanogo injured.

So try Podolski up front again?
Walcott?
Park?
Or give Akpom/Afobe a chance?

Perhaps our new signing will be in place by the game?

No excuse to rest players imo, they have a 9 day break after this.

Also cant believe some other fans being indifferent to this game. I don't care what competition this is, its the dark side of north london and their arrogant fans that I want to trounce.

Really! Can't see that happening much before deadline day myself......although I do think it will happen this time.

Adebarndoor will get a red card after 2 mins and we'll win 5-0.

Will he play Flappy or Vivano in goal? He always has a "cup" keeper, hopefully not this time. They looked decent against a poor United side yesterday but I still fancy us to win 13 nil 8)

Yes and why change such a winning formula eh? I mean when has Flapper ever cost us the odd cup or six ?

Perhaps he can find someone to give an equally desperate impression of a centre forward as he did with the Forehead against Blackburn last season......is the Postman fit yet?
