And again. Middlesbro are crap

So were Spurs yesterday in the second half !!!
So I have no real fear heading for Wednesday night.
If we can just hold them to a draw and then take them at the Emirates.

Just have to trust Arsene on this one !!!
My view is , he 'll pack midfield with Ade up front with fingers crossed that we'll get a draw or a 1-0 defeat and then do the business at Ashburton Grove.

No feckin defence tomorrow. Could be missing all of Clichy, Gallas, Gibbs, Sagna and Silvestre. Could end up seeing Eboue, Toure, Song and Djourou. Shiver.

On the plus side Bendtner's due a goal!!!

[Dinny Breen]

If Arsenal somehow manage to get out OT only a goal down heading to the 2nd leg it will be a fantastic result.

Any word of what defence they might be putting out tonight?

Think Johhny Cochrane is on the left and Niall Murphy on the right.

Was it Vela who was quarantined due to the swine flu?

Deadly tactic to bring him on and get him to grunt and sneeze. Rio wouldn't want to know.

Rio probably wouldn't know what he was doing....I would say that the only News he watches id Sky Sports News and probably only reads the Daily Sport.....

Im gonna go on a limb here and say arsenal to win the tie 4-1 on aggregate.

1 each tonight with a 3-0 spanking at the emirates.

2-1 to arsenal in the final with Thierry Henry not sniffing leather. Kolo will have him for breakfast.

[hoopsaaa]

This is the biggest match since Anfield in 89.

Cannot wait on this one 1 each 2nite and 2.0 to the gunners in the second leg.

[ONeill]

Utd making a dick out of Gibbs on the back foot. No protection whatsoever from Diaby who is also having a shocker.

Gibbs handy going forward though and if he can find some kind of composure he can get a handy cross in. Arsenal dominated the last 10-15 mins without any penetration at all. Walcott should've lashed that last one.

Almunia to thank for still being in it after 30.

Tevez a brilliant worker.

[ONeill]

No coincidence that those last 15 mins saw Cesc back in central midfield where he works best. He controlled it from there on in. If he stays there though Arsenal need another striker on in Eduardo. Go 4-4-2. Utd afraid of Walcott and are doubling on him. That'd free up the likes of Nasri. I'd take off Diaby who couldn't control his bladder.
