I hope that Given decision doesn't come back to bite us. Not the right choice for any number of reasons in my opinion.

Seems like it.

Arse fans I know not happy about Chez starting, wanted Ospina.

That's a very reasonable team he's decided on. I disagree on the goalkeeper issue, but it's not an insane decision to play Given.

Walcott starting is a concern after what Mane did to us ..

I think Given is responsible enough to let the team know if he wasn't 100% for this game. And Arsenal aren't going to lump in forward. He's still got very good reflexes.

That side is responsible, my only nagging concern is that Hutton providing the crosses vs Bacuna just makes Benteke a little less effective. That said we do need to be aware of what Arsenal can do to us so Hutton provides a little more protection.

In terms of Given I'm just really hoping that on what could be his last big huge game that he has one last great performance. I don't think we'll see much of him next season, unless we turf out Guzan (which would be foolish).
Shay has largely served us well. Hoping he has the game of his life today.

Zogbia owes us a big performance I think. This could well be his last game. I think we'd be tempted to cash in while we could, were an offer forthcoming.

UTV.

Just had my fist emotional wobble. Had Einaudi playing whilst working and the impending kick off, for us in an FA Cup fucking final just hit me.

I'd be stunned if we let that happen again

Cole's not the player he was but if there's a day he could really have an impact and turn back the clock, today would be that day. Would love to see a moment of magic if he makes an appearance.
