I'd rather Arsenal have to play everyone in the last game than bother about what may relegate Newcastle.
Newcastle always do better against us each year than either Hull or Sunderland do.

Them going down is likely to benefit Villa far more than the impact Arsenal's final match will have on their cup final performance.

Not sure how a possible extra 3 points next season benefits us far more than another 90 mins for Arsenal to have players crocked or suspended. Each to their own though.

They will still have another 90 minutes to have players 'crocked or suspended', regardless of what the result is tonight.

Obviously the concept of resting players when having nothing to play for hasn't reached North London then.

Rangers 2 Hibs 0 is what I'm watching as I'm in a bar in Moffatt. Wouldn't even know either was playing had I not been here. Hibbs are the better team but have nothing in attack.

If they win or lose tonight, they will technically have something to play for - a win and there's an very unlikely chance of second, lose and there's an unlikely chance they could drop to fourth. Either way, it's very unlikely to be the difference between us winning or losing the Cup Final.

We're not going to play a completely different first XI on Sunday, so whatever happens tonight I think it's a safe bet that they won't be either.

Fletcher is absolutely gash.

How much did MON pay for him?

Just the £14m.

Pantilimon has been great for Sunderland tonight.

If i were a Sunderland fan, I'd have vomited up at least one, and possibly both of my kidneys in the last few minutes.

It's making me feel like that! what if Arsenal are using up all their bad luck in this game?

Can I be physically sick on their behalf?

Nah, don't worry, we're going to beat these.

I have no idea how Sunderland have survived with their appalling side but well done.

If we defend as well as Sunderland did tonight then it'll be an easy win, regardless of what team they put out.

Incidentally, Sunderland's ridiculous escapes from relegation over the last few seasons make us look a team stuck in comfortable mid-table by comparison.
