What Arsenal side do we want to see on Sunday?

[DavidRyder]

It's that time - we're all excited about the cup holders coming to town - but do we want to see the big guns, or see a weakened Gunners side with an improved chance to get through. The choice, my fellows, is yours....

 

[Frutos]

Progression-wise, the Girls Under-12's would be probably our best bet.

From the perspective of a football purist I'd love to see Sanchez (in particular) et al, from the perspective of someone who wants the Albion to win...not so much.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

A hungover, ill-prepared one, but I doubt that will happen.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Primrose Wilson in goal for a start would help.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Here's an example of a "weakened" side...made up of those not currently starting games/on the fringes + the ones who would HAVE to play due to injuries.

Sczsesny
Gibbs
Chambers
Mertesacker (as they have no other CB's fit)
Bellerin (again, no other right backs are fit)
Flamini
Coquelin
Ozil
Rosicky
Walcott
Giroud (no other forwards)

We're fooked

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Where's the option for "Don't give a shit, I'm coming to see the Albion"?

 

[crodonilson]

I want to see the full Arsenal side, all whistles and bells, it will be an honour to welcome the Cup Holders to the Amex.

 

[DavidRyder]

My Gooner mate wants me to share his knowledge on what he is expecting....!

sczczny, gibbs, chambers, mertesacker, bellerin, flamini, rosicky, ramsey, ozil, walcott, giroud - sanchez on the bench!

Well if you actually care whether your team touch the ball or not, then you'll care which team Arsenal put out.

 

[Shy Talk]

I'd like us to beat their FIRST team!

 

[Birdie Boy]

The first XI, if we lose no issue, if we win, what a party!

 

[Dave the OAP]

A completely shitehouse one please.

It will be interesting what howtonne puts out as a brighton team. I have a horrible feeling we may see the likes of chicksen and a " we need to concentrate on the league" comment!

 

[Icy Gull]

We'll lose whatever team they put out so let's have their best team please

 

[Hamilton]

I'd like us to beat their FIRST team!

This with bells on.

 

[Titanic]

I want to see the holders HONOUR the SPIRIT of the F.A.Cup, and field their FINEST team of STARS to defend their TITLE against a PLUCKY Albion side, in front of a ROLLICKING FULL HOUSE.

 

[Hillian1]

At what score do we want Arsenal to declare?

 

[Diablo]

Perhaps we should handicap Arsenal.If they started at minus four goals we might have 50/50 chance. They are probably stronger than two seasons ago and we are a lot weaker.

 

[Left Footer]

Will be a reasonably strong side as they have no midweek games either side of the match.
Would expect Ozil and Rosicky to start for sure and possibly Walcott if he`s fit.
Chambers will probably come in for one of Mertesacker and Koscelny.
Whatever it is it will probably be too strong for us.

We have got the FULL HOUSE... now for the STARS and the ROLLICKING

 

[Quinny]

For me I want to see their strongest team out, it's very rare for Brighton to see such quality sharing the same pitch, I for one will be pretty star struck to see the likes of Sanchez, Giroud and Cazorla on the same pitch as Calderon and Forster- Caskey. Good experience for the Brighton players playing against them too
