Tell that to the players who win it. There are only ever four trophies available to win each season for any given club, sometimes even less, so we shouldn’t be turning our noses up. You’d probably discount the league cup too - which doesn’t leave much prestige left in the season if you don’t win the league or CL.Quote:

Keown, Gudjohnsen and Cesc are pitchside.
Arsenal: Cech, Sokratis, Koscielny, Monreal, Maitland-Niles, Torreira, Xhaka, Kolasinac, Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette.
Subs: Leno, Lichststeiner, Mustafi, Jenkinson, Elneny, Guendouzi, Willock, Saka, Amaechi, Iwobi, Nketiah, Welbeck.
Chelsea: Chelsea: Kepa, Emerson, David Luiz, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic, Pedro, Hazard, Giroud.
Cech :bow:
:sick: Come on Arsenal!
"I thought Petr Cech would play and I think it is the wrong decision. You have to play your best team in a cup final and Bernd Leno is a better goalkeeper is than Cech."
- Lee Dixon.
Seaman previously said the same. I can see the argument but I'm ok with Cech.
Come on boys! :upset:
PS: This afternoon's meetings are a complete waste of my time. I could be in a pub somewhere watching this :angry:
Bring the guy in goal that has all the pressure to perform thrusting him in the final when he hasn't played in it before. I dunno, I don't think it's any more likely to stop a fuck up.
Basically agree.
You know if Cech chucks one in tonight the usual subjects will be all "told you so", ignoring the fact that Leno has hardly been flawless this season.
Not sure about going with a back 5 but we'll see.
Hang on...when is kick off? Is it now or is it in another hour? This time zone nonsense is confusing :wacko:
Oh right. It's only 2pm here. It's at 3. Don't mind me...

Let's hope his second good game of the season is tonight.
Come. On. You. Gunners!

Fuck off.
Europa League theme. :bow:
Maybe a :haha: depending how tonight goes.
What are the weird markings on the pitch?
David Luiz hoofs it, Cech comes out to collect it easily.
Cameramen must be Armenian, because they haven't been allowed into the country either.
Sokratis scuffs it.
let's go boyyyys!!!!!!!!
Maitland-Niles displaying all the English talent there.
It looks like a pre-season friendly.
The pitch looks in great condition says Savage, for what, crop rotation?
Nice play but a little more composure needed from Auba.
Auba should do better there.
Auba shot but dragged wide!
COME ON ARSENAL!
Piped in chanting of Arsenal songs. :bow:
Hazard diving already.
Sokratis takes out Bif. :bow:
It's not a Bif game if he doesn't go down in agony at some point.
Should’ve crossed that earlier.
