Miquel is a technically excellent but notoriously slow player. Don't count on him to recover any balls if we fail an offside trap.

I'm not sure this is the best game for him to make his debut in. He'd be far better off at the Grove where the pitch is in good condition and our ability to move the ball accounts for more.

Almunia
Sagna - Squillaci - Miquel - Gibbs
Denilson - Song - Rosicky
Bendtner - Chamakh - Arshavin

Bench: Szczesny, Clichy, Eboue, Koscielny, Fabregas, Nasri, Wilshere

It won't be a difficult game, the quality is there on the bench if needed. 2-3 goal win I would think, doubt we will keep a clean sheet.

Orient have just drawn Man Utd in the next round

If we do the unthinkable and lift a cup three times at Wembley this season, do we get to keep it?

We'll kill United dead.

Should we go through today, that game will be straight after Barca away. Looks like ManU have a week rest beforehand but will have Marseilles at home the mid-week afterwards. I guess alot will depend on what happens in their game on wednesday.

Keep Wembley, or keep the cups?

Didn't realise they had a full week's rest. Still, they play Chelsea and Liverpool away before that game. Odds are that their confidence will be shot.

I'd rather they retire all current versions of the Cups in our honor. Design new post-Wembley editions for subsequent seasons.

Okay we're dreaming again. Back to reality.

Lol. Almunia almost fumbles one.

Miquel (whose name is auto-corrected to Mishap on my phone) looks very nervy with his passing

Klaus - I suppose if miquel is slow, at least he's playing against McGleish!

Something to take comfort in! He's doing pretty well so far. A bit nervy like you say but he gets in early.

Chamakh shoots like my sister.

Yeah, first few touches heavy, but hopefully he'll calm down now.

Chamakh really struggling.

Think Chamakh has been opening really well.

Good chance there. Chamakh with a nice run, but why did he stand watching after playing it back to Bendtner? He needs a slap, not a rest - there's nothing wrong with his movement.
