So,as we know,the "dysfunctional" FA as Ferguson put it, has rejected Arsenal's appeal to rescind TV's red card against West Ham.Now it was pretty clear to me that it was not even a yellow,let alone a red or a penalty. However,as this season has shown us,we can go on marching against all odds. The next game is against Birmingham,the same fixture that sent our title challenge downhill in 2007-08 season.The same venue which saw a big ape lunging at Eduardo and breaking his ankle. So,coming back to the topic,who should start at the back against Brum?I know it is a big headache for Arsene Wenger,especially with Barcelona looming. Should he start Silvester with Sol Campbell?Or Song with Sol?Or Song with Mr. Potatohead to give Sol a rest before Barca?For me,the choice is obvious.Sol will have to persevere this week as the PL is our #1 priority. Along with him I would like to see Song,as clearly,Silvester is no good.Even Arsene doesn't seem to trust him anymore.He can fill in for Sol for Wolves at home next week which should be easy enough for him. Denilson and Abou Diaby will have to fill in for Song collectively in the midfield.I believe it is good enough to beat those neanderthals and go to the Barca game with a head of steam,I believe that Sol will recover in the 4 days between these 2 games and should get a one week rest before the 2nd leg. Come on you Arsenal! Leave your comments below as to who you think should play defence against Brum and Barca first leg.

I think the back line is going to be Sol Campbell leading the defence. Song will fit in alongside him. Then you have Eboue and Sagna as the marauding left backs. I think Silvester might start on the bench and might come on if any of the back 4 are injured. That means Denilson will play the defensive midfielder role. Cheers! Ram
