Arsenal (N) FA Cup Semi Final pre match thread

[r.soleofsalford]

We can only hope he`ll be fit to play on Sunday

Well I thought it was funny you shower of twats

 

[Marvin]

Anything to do with the Mendy tweet and the follow up media witch hunt?

Probably. He's gone from being one of our best players to a player who we're effectively carrying. Making no contribution at all at the moment. Disappointing.

Arse will use a manic high press from the off and try to get at us all over our half. It won’t be pretty.

It’s a big pitch to press City over for 94 minutes, they will run out of legs.

We simply have to hold our nerve, trust the system and unless they are 2-0 up on 94 minutes our quality should see us through a tight game.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Pep went quite cautious for 60 minutes and drain them.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Yeah, fair point. If it slips into next season though we have a problem as he has been way off this season

Agreed.

 

[Mike N]

Boy, do we owe them one from the last semi at Wembley!

 

[the blue panther]

No poll? I'll have say it here then, as I'm the one who always votes ..........
Lose.


(Otherwise, we'd never win.)

 

[Winchester]

Dont Suppose this game is free to air is it?

I know it's on BT Sports 1 but as Sky have been showing their games on freeview and The Beeb have done likewise with Prem Games?

 

[lancs blue]

Bernardo has gone right off his game this season.

I thought the enforced break would help him but he's still way short of his best.

We are going to have to be on our game on Saturday. Can't be complacent against these buggers. Arteta aside - they are twats and need to be beat.

 

[King KdB of Belgium]

I agree with Mike N. We certainly owe it to the Arsenal where they kicked us of the park. We also had the ref on their side that day as well.

So Pep no favours for your friend Mikel Arteta. Please play your strongest team and let's press them in their own half, instead of them pressing us in ours.
