Giroud is a top stiker, Walcott is as good as Bale, Wilshere is their best player but somehow they still lost. Another humbling day for the Gooners and just when they were convincing themselves they'd turned a corner. It seems they turned into another blind alley but we shouldn't take the piss, they were very reasonable when we lost...



Well it wasn't but maybe this will be the start of their bottle job <laugh>

I just (politely) raised the question of whether their saviour Wilshere would still be around the Emigrates next year if they don't qualify for the CL. Awaiting some considered replies....... :emoticon-0102-bigsm
 
Is wilshire the player that isn't injury prone but is prone to picking up injuries.
 
Has PESKIE showed up yet to explain Arsenal's dismissal from the FA Cup?
 
Oldham drawing with Everton, beating Liverpool.
Arsenal in the CL Ko's
Brentford drawing with Chelsea
Luton beating Norwich
Bradford and Blackburn beating Arsenal
Leeds beating Spurs

The Premier League, everyone <cheers>
 
Best. FA Cup. Ever.

Apart from the fact we're out :D

The way it's going you'd expect Chelsea to be underdogs tomorrow...

Chelsea go out then they may as well start carving Manchester on the trophy, the only question will be City or United. Brentford, Oldham and Huddersfield would struggle on the big pitches
 
Brentford are my pick to win it :)

Biased, only because you have a soft spot for them.

City will win it (assuming they don't mess up v Leeds), they have the tools to beat United home or away, not sure anybody else does. To have any hope of winning it Chelsea need to beat the teams in front of them first and then hope they don't draw a Manchester club in the QF. At Wembley Chelsea are more than capable of holding their own to either Manc club but we'd get slaughtered at the Bridge with the counter attacking weapons they have at their disposal and refs (United) :(
 
More the realist District. But the ways in which the cup have been going I wouldn't seriously like to predict any matches. Leeds could easily put one over on City but I cannot see you losing to Brentford.

I don't know what to make of the goons. It still seems like a team waiting to explode into action.
 
Either the majority of Premier League teams are going out of their way not to win the FA Cup this season, or UEFA should turn the focus of their match-fixing probe in its general direction.

Don't know about the other teams, but our performance was too convincingly **** to be fake...

I just think the quality of the league has massively declined. The Football League has definitely bridged the gap. I'm not so sure it's a Cupset when every PL team bar the Manchester clubs are struggling against/losing to lower league position with near enough strongest XI's.

As for Arsenal, it all depends on their next 4 games. Plenty of football to be played but you'd imagine if they lose at WHL, 7 points would be to big a gap to claw back over Spurs/Chelsea. I know what happened last season but its different as this year there is no RVP and the league is far weaker this year than last so it's unlikely Spurs would get in as much of a rut as last year.
