With the first leg coming up on tuesday i just wanted to focus the mind upon what we want for that away leg...
I was being postive
Many options are void since Wenger will play his "kids" in both legs regardless of the result in the first leg.
Wenger is a good enough man manager to know that he must keep confidence in his youngsters at WHL even if we win the first leg comfortably (which I am confident we won't).
A score draw would be acceptable. A narrow win would be brilliant. Hell, I wouldn't be too unhappy if we lost 2-1. I have faith that we can do it at the Lane.

that said though it was a misnomer that Wenger played kids against us last year, in that over the two games about 12-16 first teamers either started or came on (and their second leg team was strengthened) and it was the strongest team they played in the competition.
compared to the team that played us, the team that beat Blackburn this season was unrecognisable
Last year Wenger genuinley would have played the kids, but the kids had some injuries and we ended up playing aginst the likes of Toure, Adebayor and Fabregas. This year we really should face the kids. Also, we'll have both King and Berbs (only played 20 mins over both legs), who make a massive difference to us. There is a huge swing in our favour this year and we should expect to go through.
