All these injuries. I see Wenger resting most of them for AC Milan on Wednesday.

I don't know who i want to win this. I'd rather Arsenal went through knocking United out of the competition in the process, for the sheer fact that i don't want the Mancs to win the tournament, but then if i had to choose between which of the two i'd rather be drawn against, i'd probably say Manchester United. Confused

Nah i'll be cheering on Arsenal...

I have a suspicion that they won't win it mind. Edged out in a close 2-0.


Damn - i was right!

Let's be honest, Arsenal have no chance... not now Wenger's decided to rest his entire first-team and half his reserves.

Am i right in thinking that the majority of Almunia, Sagna, Clichy, Flamini, Rosicky, Adebayor, Senderos, Djourou, Van Persie, Diaby, Denilson, Walcott, Song and Senderos will have miraculously healed come Wednesday night?

What's the point in this competition again? I know if Wenger has to choose he'd always prioritise the Champions League (as would i), but it's just getting stupid now. You can't pretend 3/4 of your squad is injured for what is potentially the tie of the whole competition, let alone round.

I think 5 of those injured will be back for the CL, Wenger should have taken some reserves player as well instead of half fit players.

Should be:

--------------VDS

Brown---Rio---Vidic---Evra

------Scholes---Carrick

Ronaldo----------------Giggs

--------Rooney
--------------------Teveth

subs: PIG, O'Shea, Hargreaves, Anderson, Saha

No room for Park or Nani, that's testament to how strong the squad is right now.

It's set up for a very interesting affair.

I'll say 2-1 to Manchester United.

I was thinking this was a league match. So, Wenger resting most players?
I still say Arsenal, but not too confident about it now.

Last minute winner. 2-3 to Arsenal, 1st goal on 15 minutes.

A dodgy offside that Wenger sees and comments on at the end of the match. Very Happy Wink

Gallas slams 'arrogant' United

Arsenal captain William Gallas has launched a scathing attack on Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, labelling them 'too arrogant'.


The France international believes United's overconfidence may cost them dear come the end of the season.

And Gallas is sure that The Gunners, who currently hold a five-point advantage over The Red Devils at the summit of the Premier League table, can take advantage of their complacency and be crowned champions this season.

"They are a strong team with lots of experienced players. But, sometimes, they think they're too good. Too arrogant, yes," he told GQ magazine.

Ronaldo

"It can make you complacent. We understand that problem. We know we have to score goals, be strong in defence and kill teams in the first half.

"Our squad can win things. And I know that it will be difficult for Manchester United to win."

Gallas' comments are sure to add further ferocity to what promises to be a competitive FA Cup fifth round tie at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The 30-year-old defender went on to shrug off plaudits directed towards United winger Cristiano Ronaldo, insisting that he is not that tough to play against.

"It was not easy against him but it was not that difficult either," he concluded.

What Gallas want to by criticizing United squad and Ronaldo. If he is thinking to play mind games then i would say better he should concentrate on match and play the game to play mind games we have our managers to play mind games.

I think United should win that one with their strongest side against Arsenal strongest available 11.
However if United rotate some player to prepare their CL game against OL I see an Arsenal win.

I will be surprised if Fergie puts a stronger team like EPL.

The team that i will choose for Todays fixture willbe

----------------- 29 Tomasz Kuszczak --------------------


---25 Danny Simpson--- 15 Vidic -- 5 Ferdinand --- 3 Evra


-- 17 Nani ------ 4 Hargreves --- 8 Anderson ------ 11 Giggs


------------32 Tevez -------------10 Rooney--------------


Subs :
Welback
Pique
Heaton
Carrick
Saha

Subs that I will use will be Pique in for Vidic, Carrick in for Anderson, Saha in for Tevez

No place for Ronaldo and Brown in starting 16. I want Ronaldo and Brown take rest for UCL fixtures against Ajax as they will be key for that match. Ronaldo will be trump card for UCL match so he needs rest.

i doubt he'll play kuszczak.. unless v.d.sar isn't fit enough..
and also for ronaldo.. nani's usually on for giggsy..
but maybe he'll sub hargreaves for the second half..
that guy hardly plays for 90 mins..

Personnaly i think Anderson should be playing alot more than he has been. He's good going forward and is also good defensively. Well i wouldnt really say good but he is fiesty and will get stuck in and hustle people

1-0 to United, just under a quarter of an hour in. Goal from Rooney_79586.shtml'>Wayne Rooney.

United have been in near total control of this so far.
