I will take lectures from no-one about caring whether this shower of shit win on Sunday, just because it happens to be a cup final. They are a reflection of the clown in charge, and that is all there is to it.

Seriously, enjoy the day if that floats your boat. I will wait until he has gone before I get any pride or pleasure in the occasional day out at Wembley.

they will tear us a new one. Our bunch of snowflakes need to get ready with the lube. :x
I seem to recall a lot of people on here predicting something similar in a certain FA Cup final last May..... :lol:

There is simply no way to know what will happen on Sunday. We often lose games we should win and sometimes win games we should get raped in. We are so inconsistent that we could easily win 2-1 and just as easily get beaten 5-1. On paper Citeh are a far superior team.... but so were the chav in May.... :wink:

I have a weird feeling we will win. Not based on any logic or anything.... just a gut feeling.
Is it the same gut feeling you had about Ostersunds tonight??? :rubchin: :D
Nope. Had no gut feeling at all. I reckoned the big stadium would spook them. And it might have if it hadn't been half empty! :lol: If anything last night proves my point. We should have easily beaten them but lost....

The only positive this morning is that both teams go into the final on the back of shockingly embarrassing results.

I anticipate our starting line up to be
Ospina, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal, Bellerin, Kolasinac, Xhaka, Ramsey, Ozil, Aubamayeng, and Welbeck.

Wilshere looked like he was struggling at the end of the game last night but not with an injury but with fitness. Don't know if Wenger trusts to start with him.

is it too much to ask to win 4 cup finals in a row? the law of averages suggests this is going to be a bit of a tall order, having said that you can never tell with Arsenal :barscarf:

If we play average to shit, we could feasibly lose this by 3 or 4 goals. Which wouldn't make a blind bit of difference to Wenger finishing his current contract.

Wenger is here till the end of next season (minimum) come what may. The club is not looking at single results, but overall league performance. His time could well be up by the end of next season on current results, but no sooner. In the meantime, best make the best of it, and make it a great day like it was against Chelsea.

As you say I don't think results will make much odds but then again the wiggy b*stard is bound to be there for another superbowl final (superbowl 2?). :roll:

A crushing infront of him might make him act, doubtful though I grant you, he looks like he's had a stroke most of the time (if only....).

What might make a difference is when ST renewal time comes up in May, I know some others disagree but I do think it has got to the stage now where we may not sell out next season, the majority of people now are so bored senseless by the current regime. Surely there can't be enough maniacs out there who just "have to" cling on to their ST just in case?, if there are we should be raising bloody taxes because if they can afford to do this they need to pay more!!.
