Wednesday Dugout Discussion

Gameweek 33 is wrapped up tonight with two Premier League games; Chelsea host Birmingham, whilst Arsenal and Tottenham face each other in the North London derby. As always there’s plenty at stake, and as always the Dugout Discussion chatroom is open for business.

If you’re just getting in, here is all the team news…

Chelsea XI: Cech, Ferreira, David Luiz, Terry, Cole, Essien, Mikel, Lampard, Kalou, Drogba, Malouda

Birmingham XI: Foster, Carr, Johnson, Ridgewell, Parnaby, Larsson, Gardner, Ferguson, Fahey, Hleb, Jerome

So the headline news from the Bridge is that Chelsea leave their £50 million man on the pine in favour of Didier Drogba, and Paolo Ferreira replaces the injured Branislav Ivanovic.

Spurs XI: Gomes, Corluka, Gallas, Dawson, Assou-Ekotto, Huddlestone, Modric, Bale, Van der Vaart, Pavlyuchenko, Crouch

Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Sagna, Djourou, Koscielny, Clichy, Song, Walcott, Fabregas, Diaby, Nasri, Van Persie

The home side go with two up-top in Peter Crouch and Roman Pavlyuchenko, meaning fantasy star Rafael Van der Vaart is pushed out to the wing. For the visitors, Arsene Wenger welcomes back Bacary Sagna and hands Jack Wilshere a well-earned rest.

    97 pre bonus, but could really have done with a Chelsea CS.

    Will have to hold on to VDV now, but seriously thinking about shipping out Nani.

    Anyone else thinking about shipping him out too? Looks like a rotation risk and Man U pretty much have this in the bag now.

      Understand your pain mighty- but I'd rather him than wilkins (if I recall correctly)-- the guy with the most banal, tired, repetitive comments. At least Ray put malapropism on the map.

          Shay Given is quality keeper, he would do so well for you. Wouldn't mind him at OT.

            Quality shot-stopper. Keeper? no.

            Has a terrible command of his area and refuses to come for crosses.

      Unfortunately, the nonsense is only going to get worse, MF, as the season comes to an end.

      i've been coming round to cahill over the last few months but i had a hilariously damning report on him from the semi last weekend, enough for him to drop back down to lescott syndrome chump again

      I agree - I don't see any of those 4 benefiting Arsenal's team.

      Switch off the 5 live phone-in. It's like pulling teeth. The Arsenal fans that call in are so reactionary.
