Maybe something like:

Ospina

Debuchy - Chambers - Gabriel - Gibbs

Chamberlain - Flamini

Campbell - The Jeff - Iwobi

Walcottt

Depends on fitness and availability, of course.

Your team would get destroyed, this one is better. I think OX's best position might actually be AM, but he'll never play there for arsenal.

Wait - Sanchez is back?!

Really need a strong team for Sunderland match. Losing at home is not option.

lol this team will lose.

I get you though as nice as a FA Cup three-peat would be, the league title should really be the priority this season. But a better team than that can be put out imo. Would be awful if we go out in the first round (first round for the big teams) of the competition which we won so well with hardwork and good structure in the last two seasons.

We have a better shot at the FA Cup than at the league.

That's the case with every team, every year.

triple FA is no joke, I want us at least try

by MJ Tue Jan 05, 2016 7:17 am

Wouldn't want us to not try lol.

But there's no merit in risking key players for a competition that we've won two years in a row instead of keeping them fresh for the much bigger one that we haven't won in over a decade.

by Twoism Tue Jan 05, 2016 7:22 am

3 FA in a row is a record though ( correct me if i'm wrong) and i'm super greedy Smile

Jay team will struggle but we might just have to do with it.

new signings cant come soon enough

by MJ Tue Jan 05, 2016 7:55 am

No team has since Blackburn in the 19th century I think so it would be a modern record but I'm more interested in the league.

Don't get me wrong, we should send out a side capable of beating Sunderland but we shouldn't drain fatigued players when we have hugely important PL games coming up.

by Sri Tue Jan 05, 2016 8:08 am

Guys.

~~Double or~~ nothing.

by El Gunner Tue Jan 05, 2016 8:12 am

In a parallel universe we could've won the FA Cup five times in a row from 2001 to 2005 :coffee:

Haven't Spurs also won it 3 times in a row in the previous century?

by Peccadillo Tue Jan 05, 2016 6:30 pm

no looks like they won it twice consecutively in the 60's & 80's

Looks like Wanderers and as previously mentioned Blackburn did it in the 19th century and both were prior to the inception of the Football League - so barely count anyway.
