FA Cup Final - Pre-Match Thread

[olaftab]

Ron I am sure that has been done. The Press will only pick what they see as "news" I guess.

[john e]

When we get to Wembley on Saturday and Les Sealey is in goal for Arsenal we will know we are in business (and yes, I know he has passed on - RIP Les.)

[Dr Butler]

I was thinking more Peter Mac and Ray Wood and Rimmer, Spink....

oh and RIP Les..

Well this video was posted by the club yesterday and it's quite clear that Given is not training. I don't know what the last training session is but it doesn't look too promising for him.

All issue of form and quality aside I would not be risking Given. He's not going to be 100% so it's time for Guzan's return.

I've never rated Given anyway, I'd go with Guzan. It would be ironic if he gets the place after losing out in 2010. Given has had persistent problems with his groin over the years that impedes his kicking, not worth risking

It's not nice to see anybody get injured  but I think it gives us a better chance of winning this way round. Does anybody who follows the youth teams know would be on the bench?

[eamonn]

Steer, surely? Hence giving him a run-out against Burnley.

This, this and this times 1 million. Never understood the clamour for Givens return, Guzan for me every time.

He's cup-tied

[Legion]

Steer is cup-tied, Siegrist is injured. I think he'll go with Guzan to start and name Given on the bench if he is carrying an injury.

[OzVilla]

Starting to get nervous already. Can't think about anything else.

Please win.

So I've been looking at this thread enviously because I had no chance of tickets as my companies Club Wembley seats had gone to customers and hey ho, just had an e-mail of the CEO'S PA to say two have become available and do I want them?  Fuck yeah!!  So happy!!  My lad will explode when I tell him tonight!
