I have a feeling that a certain mutinous Argentinian may play quite a decisive part today.....cracking bench I assume we'll have....from Micah, Kolarov, Silva, Tevez, Dzeko, De Jong, Johnson etc etc

No Silva then, big decision from Bobby but on current form would have to feel it's the right one..Great to have Lescott and Kompany back together again.Overall that looks a really good side we are putting out.Surprised about Micah not being picked.

Any news on Arsenal line up?

Szczesny; Sagna, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Gibbs; Song, Arteta; Walcott, Rosicky, Benayoun; Van Persie.

i hope you are trying to iron-on some letters by end of season as his scarred face lifts the league trophy after helping to annihilate the rags and putting them in a morale-busting slump where they lose JUST one more match which lets us pip them to the title.

Fuck off Kiers, let a man dream. Let a man...dream.

cheers

He got the knock on thursday but was back in full training yesterday so maybe has had some reaction.The rest might do him good.

I'm glad he's being rested....whatever the reason. He needs it and we need him sharp for the remainder.

As much as I would love to win the league this season I don't care if we don't as long as we finish strong. Today has to be the start of that.

Oh.

So it's not Bob's decision then. Wonder if it will be a blessing in disguise.

Interesting that no Johnson on the bench. Can't say I'm bothered as think the combination of Pizarro & Tevez coming on could cause more problems than he ever would

On recent evidence, I completely agree. Pizarro's created more from the halfway line in 2012 than Johnson has from the right. He needs more variety to his game - all the cutting inside has largely been sussed.

Dear commentator: you're not helping my nerves by calling this the biggest game of the season.

I hope some shit was given in the other match thread as I had to walk away after 20 and jump on the lawn mower with Stella in hand!
