Title: Wenger has some tough choices to make for Wednesday
Post by: Karabiner on May 12, 2006, 10:38:23 AM
With Ashley Cole, Gael Clichy and Mathieu Flamini all fit again, the left full back position may not be cut and dried.

I think Ashley Cole will get the nod here but I sympathise with Flamini who did a fantastic job.

Although Sol Campbell has played the last two premiership games, Philippe Senderos is now fully fit too.

I would not be surprised to see Senderos get the nod here, although I'm sure many others would be.

I think Hleb, Gilberto, Fabregas, and Ljungberg will start in midfield plus either Pires or Reyes.

It's in defence that Wenger has some tough decisions to make, but I wouldn't want anyone else making them.

Can't wait for Wednesday. Barca are probably crapping themselves already  ;)

Personally I would be happy to see Senderos instead of Campbell, I feel he's now better.

Also he deserves his place for a fabulous run of excellent performances.

We will see.

I agree. Campbell is finished and he shouldnt be going to the World Cup.

Ashley Cole is most probably the 2nd name on the team sheet after Henry.

I would also like to see Pires start rather than Reyes who infuriates me with his lack of application at times.

They've probably just finished a healthy dinner of lasagne prepared by Colchester Kev.

I reckon it'll be 3-0 to the Gooners, they've even got an Arsenal "reject" in their side.

I seriously hope Arsenal do it, been a fine side for ages

Whatever happens for them to reach the final in this, a rebuilding year, is a great achievement.


the "reject" is Silvinho? or Van Bronckhorst?

I would rather have Silvinho than Gio

I expect Gio to start and I'm happy about that, I think he's a real weakness with his lack of pace.

To be honest I'd forgotten about Silvinho, but I'd be very surprised to see him in the starting XI

Silvinho has had his injury problems, but he was first choice at the start of the season.

As representatives of English football and the Premier League, you should be supporting Arsenal.

Swallow your pride, sour grapes and hard cheese, and join us in the celebration.

I'll be supporting Barca as well.

We need them to win to ensure Celtic go straight into the Group Stages next season (in Pot 2 as well).

THere's also the King of Kings playing for them, in his last game before returning to Sweden. While the English press aren't talking about him (it's all Ronaldinho & Eto) he'll be a real danger to Arsenal.

I would rather drink cyanide than support Arsenal.

Up until the return of both Sol Campbell and Ashley Cole a few weeks ago how could Arsenal be representatives of English football??

French maybe..........

I'm sat in my Barca shirt  :D

(Spain is my adopted football country)

I've figured out that it's on the badge as it's part if the city's flag (and it's coat of arms). Does anyone know why that is?

I thought it was in the badge because they were started by english workers out there? I just manage to ignore it anyway ;)

I would have thought that it would even be obvious to a trained monkey that Arsenal represent English football.

Perhaps not......

St George is the patron saint of Catalonia! - this cause a stir a few years back when some Celtic fans took offence to Barca fans waiving the St Georges flags, ignorance is great isn't it!
