    Actually quite bitter about the FA cup final, more with the officials than your apology of a football club. Why because they gave a free kick that wasn't for your first goal and a corner that should of been a goal kick for your second. No doubt on Saturday we will have more of your diving tactics trying to fool the officials again. Lets just hope proper football wins out and the ref dishes out a few well deserved yellow cards. But alas I doubt it.

    Speaking of 'proper football winning out', has Elmo been diving much this season? I can't recall any so wonder if he's cut it out.

    Tom was a bit dodgy for the goal on Saturday, mind. If that was against us... :bandit:

    I thought it was highly dubious. There's no doubt whatsoever that he 'assists himself' in falling down, that minimal contact would not have floored a 13st athlete if he didnt want to go down.

    He was shifting his weight onto the other foot to change direction to gear up for a shot and his foot was taken out from under him, pretty easy to get tripped up in that situation.

    Just my opinion but if we were defending in the 94th minute and the same challenge happened he wouldnt have gone down before he hoofed the ball away first.

    Wouldn't change the fact that it's a foul.

    I don't really care about those who have the easy life in the top tier, I never bother watching them, reading about them or anything like that. The only time they come on my radar is when we play them. The last match featured Meyler's horrible mistake, it's possible he may not start this game though.

    He has a knee problem," Wenger said. "I think it's very short term but he's not completely fit so I left him at home."


    Expect Walcott to be in the team

    Never bitter about a result. My main gripe with Arsenal fans is the exodus from Wembley after the final. It was like it didn't really mean anything to them. ****ty fans ruin the game.

    I think diving is part of the arsewipes training sessions as a large proportion of the team perform it at regular intervals. Their penalty on Saturday was one of the softest I have seen, all the pundits both on BBC and Sky agree that.Elmo has on occasion been guilty of it but the rest of the team doesn't and Tommy's on Saturday was certainly not dodgy.

    I hope we beat them or even just draw against them so I can watch their fans freak out over not beating little tiny **** Hull on ArsenalFanTV on youtube.

    Most Arsenal supporters I've met speak highly of us.
    The ones who don't are most likely day trippers or the type of "supporter" who when choosing his/her team put the so called top teams in a hat and had a lucky dip.

    I try not to dislike Arsenal but I can't persuade myself to appreciate their pretty football.. at the end of the day they're a Disneyland castle with a green pantomine stage inside of it inhabited by Panini stickerbook/FIFA16 skills stars, the fans are doped up on soft goals and luke-warm applause.. they're the epitomy of mediocre with a waxy finish..

    **** 'em

    It's not so much Arsenal, as Wenger that gets on my tits; but I share that with a lot of Arsenal supporters I come across.

    Is there anyone who doesn't think Wenger is a daft old codger these days? <laugh>

    Actually I have an arsenal mate who I think still rates him.
