Aguero shoots, side netting.

14-04-2013, 03:05 PM
Aguero with a 1degree angle for that one...

McNamara That Ghost...
14-04-2013, 03:07 PM
Aguero puts extra on to Yaya's scuffer who put extra on Barry's scuffer. Cech saves.

McNamara That Ghost...
14-04-2013, 03:11 PM
Tevez shoots, Cech saves.

Very good play.

It's a shame Wigan have so many injuries. Their entire defence is basically depleted. Of Citeh's multi-billion pound squad, the only one injured is Sinclair :lol:. Fortune appears to favour the ****s rather than the brave.

Wigan are mental though. But they'll probably save the mental for Tuesday and their final game against Villa to stay up again.

Anyway, come on Coney, come on Maloney and come on Dave Whelan.


Prediction: Citeh 3-1 Wigan (Tevez, Yaya, Milner, Maloney).

Then again our last three fa cup wins were pretty turgid affairs,
The 2002 final was only memorable for the two goals
The less said about the 2003 final the better
The 2005 final was one-way traffic but still we won

In fact i'll double-down and say there hasn't been a decent FA cup final involving Arsenal in my lifetime (i was born in 1983 four years after the five minute final)
The sheffield wednesday game and the subsequent replay were attritional....says something when Mark Bright was probably the best player on the pitch in the second game.
The Newcastle final was over before it began.
The Arsenal-Liverpool final of 2001 was a good match but we lost that so i don't remember that one.

It was fine. Nothing earth-shattering, but no 2000 - the touchstone for all dire finals.

Most FA Cup finals are complete washouts to be fair, there hasn't even been a shock winner since 1995 and franky the whole competition has been devalued. The big teams only take it seriously when there is nothing else to go for that's why there has only been one double winner in the past ten years.

What has it been devalued by though? The league started in 1888, not 1992 after all. It was THE one to win up until then...

I think the league title has in my lifetime has always been more valuable than the FA cup and rightly so, but the fact that United who have won five of the last seven league titles have made only one cup final in that time suggests that it's not a trophy the big teams care about anymore. And i think the FA have officially devalued the competition by putting the final on at teatime, it's for me almost as bad as the the European cup final being played on a saturday evening....total nonsense.

Once upon a time I'd watch every cup final even if Arsenal weren't involved because of how prestigious I perceived it to be. Now it's just like the League Cup, as in it's a bit shit unless your team is involved.

Well I certainly agree with both of these - utterly idiotic senseless decisions.

But there are poor quality league games too. Hell, look at City - QPR last year. A mistake-ridden mess. Yet it gets a Sky-sponsored free pass. Ludicrous

Well it was a bit of a dramatic finish (still doesn't trump 1989 Anfield and for the life of me i fail to see how anything ever will) but it's money isn't it....where as religion used to poison everything now it's money.

Clichy was completely given the run around.

And, unsurprisingly, Barry was terrible.

Actually it's hard to think of a City player who actually had a good game. Kompany made a few interceptions and blocks, but other than that.

To spend that sort of money and have still have such shit in the squad is unforgivable. Of course they'll just spunk another billion on it, problem solved.

If only he had more playa, just another billion and it could have been so different. Why didn't they just buy the Wigan team before the match?
