Hard game. Southampton are no mugs but at least it's at home.
Wouldn't fancy it away.

Southampton not bad, can live with that and getting a £20 ticket.
Didn't they knock us out last season?
I'm in two minds. Either go out v Southampton and focus on staying in the top 4 or go through and face a mentally damaging two legged semi against Manchester United or Liverpool :(
No, Sheffield Wednesday last season.
It has to be progression in the competition, I can't understand how you could be in two minds.
Or... win them both?Quote:

It's a bonus cup this one, so if we can get to the end and lift it, great. Shrug of the shoulders if we don't but would be nice to tick this box off for Wenger in domestic terms.
New 'softer' training pitch in use apparently, along with the two new fitness gurus, hopefully will ensure we only pick up knocks rather than a list of season ending injuries yet again.Quote:

Just seen the implementation of the Xhaka rule.

We've probably seen about 200 identical challenges since Xhaka. None of them punished with a red card.Quote:
