Wholesale changes expected

12:45pm - We take on Leeds in the FA Cup. We will not see the magic of Van Persie and Nasri. But we will see a return to the first team squad for Gibbs and Ramsey. I'm hoping that the young welsh wizard gets a game today. I feel he is in a good state to play Championship opposition after playing against it in his last 5 games.

Ramsey is a player I rate very highly, I see a bit of myself in him. He's combative, powerful and creative. Fully fit he's a shoe in for our midfield and I wonder where that would leave young Jack. I think we'd see a midfield of Ramsey, Jack and Fabregas with Jack and Rambo given the responsibility of defending and creating. Though for today I think it will be different.

Today I expect the squad to be flexed and rejigged. It wouldn't surprise me to see a start for Vela, Bendtner and I'd like to see Sczcesny given a game.

For me, I cant wait. I think Theo will start and Rosicky on the other wing and we'll tear them apart. Rambo, Denilson and probably Song to start.

Its so hard to pick but I expect a good win from us today, but Leeds won't make it easy

Rambo 2010 - This time its Per...Football.

B52 - Nic Bendtner has allegedly been spouting off in the press in Denmark about his lack of first team opportunities since returning from his injury layoff. In my mind he should be thinking more about Arsenal than himself. He mismanaged his groin injury and went to the World Cup and just made it a lot worse.

Shut up, score more goals when you come on and Wenger won't be able to leave you out of the first team. Do your talking on the pitch you mug.

On a brighter note, Aaron "Rambo" Ramsey is back training and whilst he's some way from full fitness its feeling like he's on the cusp of a triumphant return in december.

I don't want to build him up as the saviour, primarily because one man doesn't make a team and being honest we are playing well at the moment. However we do look a better side with him in it than say Denilson.

I'm not bashing Denilson because I rate him too, but I think Ramsey is more of a box to box - all round midfield player. He's got the ability to be as good as Fabregas and he's got an awesome shot on him.

I look forward to his return, Song will relish having him alongside and Fabregas will love the freedom to roam and enjoy himself.

Come on Rambo, show 'em what they've been missing!
