Arsenal (A) - QF | Pre-Match Thread | Team on Pg 31

[Inter Me Nan]

We've already seen some strange games though already mate, I'm still convinced the derby game was settled on a draw before a ball was kicked, Solksjaer saying he'd take a 1-1 draw before the game. Then the Liverpool home game where it seemed the players settled for a draw after half time. Do you think Pep will be that disappointed if we lost on Tuesday night?

Lol mate we drew against the rags because Mahrez shoots like a wet fart and against the dippers because Kev decided to do the same from 12 yards!

Atwell, another useless ****.

Wash your mouth out

Not having that mate, it was all part of the plan. Fordy told us

Maybe I'm trying to find a conspiracy somewhere down the line but certain games just haven't seen right in the desire to win matches. Hopefully that desire is shown on Tuesday night

Football is never black and white and because we have failed to go on and win matches we maybe should have, is not only down to us.

Go strong, batter them, league is done for cup treble is on though

Indeed.
What will also be interesting is how Arteta approaches his team selection- will he take the view he needs to develop the winning habit ASAP and go with his “strongest” XI, or will he play an obviously B team?

They seem to be a different and much better team in cup games.
Should be a cracker!

This game is screaming out for Delap to start but he probably won't.

Would love to see him feature at some point on Tuesday.

I'd start Delap Doyle TH-B and Palmer. No good giving youngsters 10 minutes before the end only to see them dropped from the league squad. We'll never guage their true potential doing that. Delap scored on his debut and wasn't tried again and this was when Aguero and Jesus were injured. He could be the next Kane in the making.

They've knocked us out of 2 cups in the last few years.
Last year was bad enough but the one where Sanchez I think, scored the winner was galling.
Should have won both but switched off for a short while and they took advantage
