Best bench in a long time!
Nice starting line-up, strong bench. Looking forward to a good away performance. Come on you gunners!
Is the verminator injured?
Slight hamstring problem
Indeed. I think AFC only announced it about 20 mins ago – I saw it on Twitter.
No messing around today from Wenger. Good to see.
Yay, Özil!
Where’s the speed?
It’s in the head!
Who?
That team should be able to do the job comfortably
What a team! Boom!
Decent lineup but I think Chamberlain should play instead of Cazorla, bearing in mind that hull will be defensive and playing counter attacking. We need someone making runs beyond Giroud.
Id have Ox in with Ozil, over podolski, just to see it but no complaints.
COYG
Finally a strong bench!!!!
bit worried about the lack of pace, an outlet, but hey, i’m sure arsene’s got a plan!
Only concern is whether we have enough ‘muscle’ in that team to match Hull. Would like to have seen Flam or the Ox in the starting line up but in Arsene we trust – meantime!
Ze German Tri-axis to kick ass
Arteta on..not flamini..away from home against a team like Hull…phew! Who’s gonna pick up the yellow card then?
Flamini for Arteta perhaps, but a great starting line up!
What a team…
Why not Källström in the starting line up. Isn’t he the big strong thug with fresh legs we need for a game like this? Same goes for Flamini. Is it not also risky to bring on Özil against this gang of hoodlums considering the big game ahead in May?
Happy with that, other than the lack of pace as has been said.. The Ox would have been nice, but the Ramzil dream team is back in! COYG!
That all looks grand but I personally would have like to see Flamini start. I just like the way he organises things. It’s a strong team we are fielding, so let’s hope we get an excellent result to give us confidence from the start in the cup final.
Bit worried too about the lack of pace in the team. Perhaps Ox isn’t 100%. Ozil needs runners. Still…COYG.
Here we go! Destroy Them My Gunners!
1-0 to the Arsenal!
What could have been if we didn’t have all the injuries to critical players?
Nice goal ramsey, the game has no settling coyg
Not sure what the Hull fans are moaning about. Never a foul by Arteta. Not even close.
We’ve really missed Mesut and Aaron. My god how we’ve missed them. A bit more squad depth and we’ll destroy everyone. Great finish by Poldi. KERRRR-SMMMASSSSHHHHHHHHH!
The famous Podolski canon!
Haven’t seen this much movement without the ball since the turn of the year. I think that’s Ramsey’s biggest asset to the squad. The man never ever stops running!
