sounds good to me, I'd do Ivano in the middle and start Bos, save Mancienne for next one

From the club's Twitter feed:

Bertrand, Sinclair, and Cork are training with the first team.

I wonder what the mental state of the players will be for this match.

[Kazuma]

Blood. They'll be looking for blood.

I don't think Hiddink will make many changes against the Gooners this weekend. Here's the team I believe he will start.......Cech, Bosingwa, Alex, Terry, Cole, Essien, Ballack, Lampard, Anelka, Drogba, Malouda.

thanks for getting this game thread started Kaz

at this point as long as we can hold onto third and possibly push for second in the League prior to the Cup Final I think that is all that matters

really need to avoid injuries to anymore key players.

Blood. They'll be looking for blood.

I would hope so but I can honestly see them coming out listless and languid. Hopefully Guus has the reins tight and has spirits high. We shall see, of course.

I believe Hidddink will have the team well prepared for the game and instill in them the importance of a second finish in the League and a win against Everton in ther FA Cup.

Not much interested in this match after the CL. I am sure we can hold on to third.

I actually feel the same way...I mean, I am interested, but I don't think I can watch 90 minutes of it. Not yet, anyway...

Very true. But i guess we all gotta move on :(
I guess a 1-1 would be a fair result.

[rustynation]

I think I'm going to watch the umpteenth round of Bremen-Hamburg, personally.

This will be like their 4th (4 out of 5 previous) match in a month, right? 2 UEFA Cups semi final matches, the DFB Cup semi final and now, the league match. lol...

:eek::eek::confused: wtf, personally I can not wait to watch a proper English football match played by men instead of a bunch diving, whining, cheating non-English ninos de Teatro ...er...oh..yeah...we play Arse, but y'all get my point...

Can't wait for it myself
