Well it's a real shame isn't it, after all the talk he's put in, it looks like Cesc won't be making Wembley at the weekend, with RVP set to take the armband. It's bittersweet, obviously Cesc has stayed put rather than moving to Barca in the hope of winning a trophy and, although he's featured in the campaign and will no doubt lift the trophy on Sunday, it's just a shame he won't take part. Hopefully this will spur the team on to win more trophies in the near future. However, you have to feel happy for Van Persie, he's been at the club throughout the whole trophy drought, never looked liked leaving and is Arsenal through and through. You can tell he loves wearing the shirt and, assuming we win on Sunday, I'm sure he'll relish getting his hands on that cup.
Injury wise, it looks like Cesc will sit out Sunday at least, with the possibility of missing out next weeks midweek tie at home to Leyton Orient, but should be back for next weekends match at home to Sunderland. For Theo, things aren't so bright as it will be a race against time if he wants to play at the Nou Camp. I really hope he makes it as his pace on a pitch like that are a match made in heaven, especially against a full-back like Maxwell who isn't the best at defending against pace.
Looking ahead to Sunday, Szczesny is looking forward to playing at Wembley, admits he is crazy and also lets us know that his dad is his role model. The young lad has a lot to say. He's also been speaking about whether we can overhaul United at the top of the table. Former Gunner Sebastian Larsson will be lining up in blue for Birmingham City but admits that his time at Arsenal helped develop him into the player he is today.
That's pretty much it for today, bad news on the injury front but all quiet elsewhere.
Oh well, see you soon peoples.
