Arsenal (H) - FA Cup | Post Match Thread

[blue cigar]

It stood out that they had midfield legs where we were struggling with the pace especially the first half, needs correcting

Only joined one cup scheme the FA one as I do not, at my age, enjoy midweek night matches but make the effort for PL games.

What happens Chelsea on a Sunday at 4:30pm, Arsenal Friday at 8:00pm and the next match is midweek as well.

That is the FA Cup scheme joining the other 2 schemes in the bin next season.

It's because of the draws though, the 2 biggest games of each round by far, tv is always gonna pick them.

Well done Mancs, through to the next round. When I saw Arteta’s team selection, I realised the FA Cup clearly wasn’t his priority. My point about our not having your strength in depth was proven last night as those that came in to cover are not at the same level. Having said that, we didn’t do too bad against a City side that laboured to beat us. Should be interesting to see how we fare against you at the Emirates.

It’s easy for a decent side to compete for the title when you’re not in the CL. This is your only chance to win it though in my view since you’ll drop off loads having to balance the two comps next year. If you don’t win it then it might be another 20 years until you do :)

You haven't got your lad's number? Then how did you text him about Ortega's distribution? LMFAO

I haven't got the other poster's number. It was obviously a joke kidda.

this kid is such a class act, he just seems to be such a genuinely nice person. was nice to see him get such a warm welcome from the home crowd

At times last night we played like most away team’s do at the Etihad. Instead of us controlling the game, it was though we had conceded it was Arsenal who would do so and our job was to try and knock them out of their stride. We will definitely need to play better in the two league games.However we got the win and ultimately that’s all that matters.

In the City end? How do you know they weren’t City fans unimpressed with your somewhat ponderous style of play?

You seem like a decent enough lad, but sometimes I really wish you'd shut up with this patronising, needling shite or do it some where I don't have to constantly fucking see it.

 

[Jack Hackett]

you’ve won fuck all yet, don’t get too giddy

They were City fans then? Yes, I could see quite a few empty seats in the City stands a good 10 minutes before the end. Though given the wait for a tram or a bus afterwards, I can understand that

Whoever gave Zinchenko shit from the stands last night needs a slap he was not happy at all.

We don't give hassle to a former Blue, unless they have slagged us off. Quite correct to call them out.
Once a Blue always a Blue.
