I don’t think the bookies or any sane fan would agree with you.

Yeah they would. Bookies had the transfer at 20-1 before the excitable fans placing bets shortened it. So the bookies thought it was a 5% chance of happening and all the fans who didn't bet on it (the sane ones) thought 5% wasn't a good enough odd to merit a bet.

5% and <1% are pretty similar likelihoods
 
Just a reminder for those that forget. In the first leg Gordon celebrated by recreating the Henry celebration at the Emirates before then commenting in his post match interview that it was important that we "stay humble" as a club.

Declan rice is ****

He's outstanding when the midfield is clicking but when they're stuggling it's like he tries to do everything for them to fill in the holes. Bruno is similar for us and can look reckless/sloppy when he's running around trying to the job of two players - can't fault them for it though as effort is what you want to see as a fan.

Arsenal as a group of players are much superior to us in many positions (GK, defence in particular) but it's nice this doesn't feel like a shock any more.We've probably got 3-4 players that would be first teamers for them but we're a long way from actually meeting them toe-to-toe. We're the underdogs in this tie and Howe has done very well.
 
Who needs a cup more?

Newcastle or Arsenal?

Arteta probably under more pressure to succeed.
