It won’t be called off

Not sure the Goons will want this postponed , they will want revenge , actually think we will have to play better than Sunday to win , although we got the job done and brought the cup home , we were nowhere near our best , KDB and Gundogan had average games on the whole , Sane,Merlin and Kun were the pick of the creative players. First goal will be vital in this game , if they score ffirst their crowd will want blood , if we score first i think they will collapse.

I feel for fans who have booked travel etcetera but the best thing for us would be for this to be called off. This would give us a decent rest for Sunday and by the time it is rearranged hopefully Arsenal's hurt pride will have healed and we will have some injured/suspended players back.

I have flash backs to when we beat Liverpool in the final. The battered us a few day's later at Anfield. We never turned up. Think Arsenal will do, or try and do something similar. I'd rather have it called off. Heavy snow forcast for Wednesday and Thursday in London. Pitch will be OK. It's just fans getting to and from the ground that might cause the match to be postponed.

I think Wilshire and Xhaka will be putting the boot in. We need a strong ref.

Despite our win we weren't at our best Sunday. It would be nice to show them how we can really play.

I assume bring back Ederson, Zinchenko and Sterling, with some game time for Jesus. Rest VK, Laporte with Ota?

Personally I would like to see how Stones does DM in place of Ferny, other option is to try Danilo there?

Well I'm gonna go for something ridiculous.
I think Yaya should be given a chance to replace Fernandinho.

Can somebody think of a song for Thursday

Can we play you twice every week?

It's more to do with fan safety these days not the pitch but wouldn't be surprised.

i was more thinking of bobby browns hit "two can play that game" 8-}

I think it will be off.

I agree. This weather needs to be moving west, big time, if there's to be any hope.
