**** I'm nervous for tomorrow. Although I have low expectations it will still be crushing to see the Utd players dance on our pitch if they go through. Our starting XI should be:
Almunia
Sagna Toure Djourou Gibbs
Walcott Fabregas Song Nasri
Ade R.V.P.
The only change that wouldn't disappoint me that much to that XI would be Diaby in for Nasri. I know Diaby didn't have a good first leg, but neither did Nasri, and unlike Nasri when Diaby has a bad game he'll at least make some tackles, win balls, and give the other team a tough time.
As for how we should approach the game I'm not really sure. If we go at them they could just easily score on the counter attack, but obviously we can't sit back so much that they control the game. I'd say maybe for the first 15-20 minutes don't go at them 100%, but from then on we should slowly try to take control and push more players forward. If we get the first goal we can't let them settle, be careful not to concede immediately but try to score again quickly.

C'mon Arsenal supporters lets get behind our team and lead them to victory :33vff3o:

We weren't good enough and we haven't been all season. Granted we were extremely unlucky in the first 11 minutes, but I think we were bound to lose somehow anyway.
Imo this season went wrong yet again in the transfer window over the summer. We lost half of our midfield and didn't replace it. That would cause any team serious problems. It's a shame because last year I think we did have the quality to win something and if we had had a few more breaks go our way we would have. This year we just didn't measure up. I'm definitely not saying I want Wenger out, but I'm wouldn't be the very first one to stand up and stay he should stay forever. Another big test for this team will be the summer transfer window. First we need to hold on to our key players, and second we need to splash a little cash and bring in quality and experience. Positions we should address our CB and DM, and adding a little more overall depth wouldn't hurt.

This season was a let down, my patience hasn't ran out yet with the club's direction, but clock that has lasted 4 seasons so far is ticking.

Your club and Manager has everyone's respect base on what they do with youngsters and how they produce great world class players. As you mentioned that 11 minutes killed the match.

Hopefully you'll win some titles in next couple of years. you have a great team and coach, just unlocky with lots of injuries. If clichy was there today ...!!!

Speaking of Euro2008 stars in the EPL... how has Modric been doing for Tottenham? I know he started poorly and some EPL managers said (before his arrival) that he wasn't fit for the EPL.

He's been very commanding in the games I watched. He's got great creativity. great buy for tottenham. He was what they needed.

cesc would have been a great player in arsenal, inter, betis or yokohama marinos.

Cesc Fabregas was disappointing in both games against Man United. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!

Lies. Cesc was traded for van. Bronckhorst and Merida's parents didn't think he would develop well in Barca so they took him out. Besides Cesc would not have been anywhere near where he is now if he hadn't left, same with Pique.
