And take a 7-0 hammering? No thanks, what will that achieve...keep the decent run going, Hull have a game on Saturday too

[Guest Norbert]

I just hope we don't get nobbed 10-0 or something like that.

ARRRRGH!! Going for my birthday and need three tickets, but Ticket Office says I can only get two... Does anyone have one spare...??? I live in London - Stoke NEwington. Can meet people Saturday to pick it up.

Don't mind if you use my details and get someone to collect tickets for you. Would get the ticket for you but I'm out of town. DM me if you want.

[Kelbo]

Arsenal will put out a strong team, this is their only chance of a trophy.

I dont think Wenger will play Wilshere, thank god for that, he is one hell of a player, may rest Walcott too but Arsenal will still be too strong for us!!

[Plastics]

We can rest Rhodes if his nose is playing up. After all, he's not on his goalscoring streak any more, unless we can give him Dann's goal since there's no committee to decide. It looked dubious from where I was listening.

after seeing that team, I'm glad you're not the manager. Strongest side possible to be played.

Not sure I completely agree with that, I think the Hull game three days later is much more important than the FA Cup.

Although if we put out a weakened side Arsenal will surely punish us, tough call for Appleton.

[Plastics]

I can live with whatever happens. Hoping for no injuries and suspensions and would rather not have a replay. But to hold or beat Arsenal is a great achievement of course and I would not be sad if it happened. Obvious positives being we will be able to concentrate on the play off push if we get beaten, even thrashed.

Wouldn't have an issue with that provided it was all done to get us to Hull fresher than them as they play charlton on saturday.

Hope Walcott and wilshere aren't playing, jack wilshere will no doubt become the greatest English player since gazza he is an unbelievable talent.

[Plastics]

We've already had better players since Gazza.

[riverside returns]

Looking forward to the trip on the train and to having a jolly fun time.

[Al]

I'm going and whilst I expect a defeat, I also expected a defeat at Anfield in Jan 2000:

How the hell did we keep a clean sheet with Dailly and Peacock at centre half?

Matter of opinion but personally I don't think we have

did we not sign ronaldino, beckham and maradona,

oh forgot, that was in the new never never land, just outside Pune

I think he's talking about English football in general ('we've already had better players since Gazza'}

Anyone will have to get a wriggle on - as of mid afternoon there were only 80 tickets left and they were expecting to sell out inside 24 hours.

[John]

Going to this one, always wary of a thrashing at the Emirates.

[Duffy]

Though I think we'll probably lose this one, I don't think it's going to be as easy for Arsenal as last season - we seem to have toughened up a bit defence wise and look much more organised. A draw is at the absolute best what we can get in my opinion (and I'd be delighted with that) but I'm going for a 3-1 defeat.

[joey_big_nose]

We've already had better players since Gazza.

Agreed. At least three - Rooney, Scholes, Shearer - are better in my opinion for England and club. It is also very hard to argue that Gazza - while more eyecatching - was anywhere near as effective as Gerrard or Lampard in a club shirt.

Great player, but didn't really live up to his potential.

Also to the above poster - agree that Wilshire is fabulous. He looks like he could compete with any of the Spanish lads on the technique front.

[Rovers in America]

This will be the first Rovers game of the year I get to see on TV thanks to beIN Sports buying out the Championship rights and still not being on my cable system.
