So Arsenal v Hull in the FA Cup final, who will you by rooting for and who do you think we win? I hope Arsenal win, because Arsene is a legend and gets unfair treatment in the press and by some fans.
I always go for the underdog cos I'm soppy but I think Arsenal have the quality to win - Hopefully Mr Wenger can tear himself away from behind the bushes at our academy training ground salivating over future signings and make it to Wembley.
when Bobby Charlton was one of the television pundits predicting the cup final outcome he always went for the team with the best form in the league between the semi final and final - and successfully predicted some surprise results on that basis. Looked at in that light it has to be arsenal this year. Like 'Exile I have the habit of going for the underdog and more so of recent years as the gap between the elite clubs and the also rans has widened. I consider Arsenal to be one of the elites - even if they have been 'trophy starved' - of late by their own standards So the head says Arsenal and the heart says Hull I consider Arsenal to be one of the elite clubs
14 years since their last trophy, pompeydownunder, the pressure is on Arsene Wenger to break that duck. I would like to see them do it, for that very reason, as I think the way they play football is the right way. Hull have got some good players - Tom Huddlestone & Jake Livermore in midfeld for example - but I think the Gunners have the classier players. Should be an interesting match. Is it being shown live on telly over in Oz ?
Teams we've won the FA Cup more recently than.... Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool. Pretty amazing really.
Well, that was so obvious I didn't think it was necessary to state! After all, loads of teams have won the FA cup more recently than them!
