Same as the first game, we'll win no problem.
Then why didn’t they win the first game? Please don’t say they were at home! I think the spurs fans out sung them at home. Remember this is their big day at Wembley every team members Mum, Dad, Granny and Grandad, not to mention their first football coach and whole home team will be in the audience along with most of the population of Rochdale! The team we started with last match could not beat this team and without the subs may not even got a draw. I say we start strong and if we get a good lead then start to take players off! I do think after Sunday Wanyama deserves another game, Toby should start if he can and Lucas had a good game last time. But for me, Kane, Lamela or Song/Alli and Eriksen need to start. Then take 3 of them off if we are crushing them, if not they stay on till the jobs done!! Oh and Llorente, sorry no way just doesn’t deserve it, he gets brought on as a sub to give players a rest and that’s it.

How can I answer when you have told me not to say we are at home, if I could mention it I would say experience tells me that it does help plus we have played them now and know what they've got plus getting the replay at Wembley is their achievement, they will not expect to win and will subconsciously accept a defeat.
Our team's pride has been stung and they won't allow themselves another poor result.

I would agree with that except we could have said exactly the same thing when we played Newport and yet we did exactly the same thing again when we went to Rochdale. It’s like we don’t learn our lessons. So let’s try something different, play strong team to start and take 3 of them off and play passing game keep ball when we have a good lead? Yes that might be a couple of players who can stay in the team, but for me Llorente is not one of them, he has been given two great chances to prove himself and did nothing.

Team V Rochdale, Vorm, KWP, Rose, Foyth, Alderweireld, Wanyama, Winks, Lamela, Son, Moura and Llorente.

I really hope we give some of our youngsters a chance from the bench, especially Reo Griffiths who's been on fire at youth level.

More chance of you being on the bench mate.

Maybe 20 years ago but not now, unless Poch changes his philosophy and like Berbatov-esque players. High on quality, low on work rate.

In all honesty, I think you're right, it's a shame but it'd be nice if it happened.

Wembley is supposed to be sunny all day tomorrow. Essex however..... heavy snow all day.

It’ll go ahead but there won’t be many Essex there I imagine. Unless you’re hard like @riggi

Trains from Kent are being cancelled left right and centre and the roads aren't too clever either. I can see the game being very poorly attended. I wonder if the Rochdale team will make it :D

It's at Wembley

Even if the pitch is fine, Police/FA can still postpone the game if surrounding areas are unsafe. It’s happened a few times (Emirates from memory).
Far from ideal with fixture pile-up so fingers crossed it goes ahead.

Driving tommorow! I'm in sunny Queensway at the moment. Not a drop of snow but just sunshine.

Arsenal seem to have their Boxing Day fixture cancelled quite a lot.
