The FA Cup

First topic message reminder :

Well, nothing on here much for discussion so thought this could begin.

At the moment Westisbest is probably pulling his hair out, whilst Wigan are marching on towards there second FA Cup in a row.

Was she greeting at Giroud coming on or Podolski going off?

fa cup 98

I meant the new Wembley. I know Arsenal have won at the old Wembley.

think we have only played there twice and lost both those games.

How are Arsenal screwing this up, it was handed to them on a plate!                  

I know! I'd think every other top 8 Prem side would be 2 or 3 at this stage. No disrespect to Wigan.

I was going to make a joke comparing Sanogo to Kezman, but Kezman actually looked half decent. Better than Torres even.

Redemption.

That was coming. Wigans luck ran out

Love sacks.

1-1

One thing that irritates me about Arsenal fans at games is that they only sing when Arsenal score. They sit there picking their noses and fingernails and wait for something to cheer rather than cheer and sing to help the team.

Even if they win this, you can only laugh at Arsenal for making such hard work of it.

the 3 minute wait after the foul but before the penalty was taken the arsenal fans were singing

But for 95% of games they sit there sulking CS.

Think i speak for every football fan when i say Frak SAKE!

Arsenal shouldn't be making hard work of this though.

Not sure why the Arsenal fans are celebrating like they've won the Champions League when all they have done is equalize against a side 5th in the Championship. 

Extra Time? Or straight to Penaltys?

yeh probably due to the negative vibe amongst arsenal fans at the moment, probably thought arsenal would bottle another easy game

I don't get why people think this would be easy. It wasn't for City

It's been that way for a long time, even when Arsenal won things.

They didn't call Highbury the Library for nothing.

I was thinking that mate, this is a team that have beaten City twice in the last twelve months. Factor in Arsenals low confidence and recent run of results it was never going to be easy.

Well I'm not going to outright accuse people of being against Arsenal

CS will do that don't so you don't have to mate

True.

We need a thread where they can just all get it out of their systems

What price on Giroud missing the decisive penalty and John gloating?

It's written in the stars..

Uwe Rossler is quite literally pooing himself

Surely do your belt up before you come out of the tunnel.

Wigans luck holds

Is anyone else as angry as me that this game going into extra time means that Britains got talent is starting later?

Britains Got Talent being moved back was not part of the plan I assume.

My GF is

I am. One of the reasons why im not in the pub atm! 


Alex Chamberlin has been brilliant today.

Great minds Champers.

Nick pub reference 20145. there.

He's a #lad

What's the big deal about that?   

2 minutes for Wigan to hold out.

Who we picking for pens then guys?

I'll go Wigan.

So far Wigans lottery numbers have come up

Andy Townsend is unimpressed penalties is making him late to the pub with Nick

That was one of the worst penalties I've ever seen

That was woeful.

This one's over.

Even more woeful

That second one should be a retake really, came well off his line.

Arsenal don't deserve to win but then again neither do Wigan. Can Hull v Sheffield United be the final please?

Yup, I can tell you something though Freak, this game has proven that no matter what Arsenal do now, their season is no where near as good as Liverpools has been no matter how much CS protests Everton to beat them to fourth as well

Arsenal hold their nerve and Wigans luck runs out after 18 months.

No doubt the usual suspects will play it down, but nothing to be embarrassed about. Tad sad really.

Well we have had the hardest route to the final. A north london derby against Tottenham and a victory over liverpool who are top of the league and then a victory today over the current fa cup champions wigan.

What? They played well for about from when Wigan scored to FT, then were back to playing so-so football. They won by being less crap on the day.
