Arsenal (N) FA Cup Semi Final pre match thread

[r.soleofsalford]

We are not twats - we are of a much higher order....maybe you’re confusing us with Stoke?

Me think thou doth protest too much

 

[g180aj]

Quietly confident, if we come out swinging it will be a knockout of devastating proportions...

Pep is at the business end and he normally puts others to the sword (domestically), he’ll use the momentum of the cas decision, taking us nicely into what could be an epic against Madrid, who are flying tbh... 6 cup finals left and a chance to create history, again!

I said this to my mate, seeing Pep with the bit between his teeth in the press conferences this week made me believe we can actually win the champions league.

The idea we kicked you off the park is so risible, I can only imagine you’ve been on drugs

If Dave received the same treatment on the street that he got at Wembley that day, police would still be prosecuting certain individuals

Isn`t Bravo Injured (muscular)

Why wouldn’t you play Mendy ?

Wemberlee....

Don't want to derail the thread but the last game I attended & the last time I sung a song on game day with a crowd was at Wembley too in the middle of this lot.

 

[Ric]

Think we’ll line-up like this (assuming Bravo is unavailable):

Ederson
Walker
Garcia
Laporte
Mendy
Rodri
Silva
De Bruyne
Mahrez
Sterling
Jesus

Tell David Silva that,can't even remember the nobody's name that did his job of kicking him off the park & got his 5 mins of fame....

 

[Saddleworth2]

This is the team I would love to see:

Ederson
Walker
Laporte
Garcia
Mendy
Gundogan
De Bruyne
David Silva
Raheem
Gabby
Mahrez

our best team just now imo. Phil on to replace one of the front 5 at 60 mins.

 

[MCFCFanTX]

I'd play the same team that played Liverpool tbh. Control the midfield and we will destroy them.

Big games like this are never a given because games can turn in a moment and Arsenal have enough quality players to hurt us, so never get complacent. You can bet Pep never is.

I have watched a lot of football over recent weeks as I suspect we all have, and I think it's a complete disgrace that clubs like Sheff Utd are more or less level on points with teams like Spurs and Arsenal. Spurs and Arsenal each have 4 or 5 top class players and it's just bad management that they are not doing a lot better. I was struck when I watched Leicester v Sheff Utd yesterday, and considered that Leicester are 3rd in the league, and just how poorly teams like Arsenal and Spurs are performing. Leicester played a good game, but they are getting 100% out of what they have, whereas other sides are more talented, and get less. Their fans blame City's money. But this is an excuse that does not wash. The likes of Leicester and Sheff utd, who have far less talented players, have moved past them, or level with them.
