Fa cup final v chelsea

[Dicks and chicks]

Why is there still no thread?

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Why is there still no thread?

Maybe because with Cech, Koscielny, Gabriel and probably Mustafi out no one thinks we have any chance

[Marc Overmars]

Fully expecting a defeat but you have to live in hope, it's a cup final after all.

Come on you Gunners. :pray:

[Gooner23]

Really quite relaxed about this one.

A win over the Chavs would be fun but we're huge underdogs, especially with Kos out and the reported decision to play Ospina in goal. I'm not expecting much.

A defeat really would put pressure on Wenger's position I hope.

[Globalgunner]

0-4 loss
If they score first, we are toast.

[Niall_Quinn]

Woke up this morning absolutely confident we'll win this. Was all going fine and then I remembered Anthony Taylor is the ref. Hopes and delusions dashed.

[Letters]

Expect us to lose but can we, just for one day, try and get behind them.
I hope we win the FA Cup and Wenger leaves on a (relative) high.
Living in hope more than expectation but you never know.

Come on you Reds :scarf:

I think the fans will be behind the team at Wembley

Even though the manager seems to think we only want him out because it would be the cool, trendy thing to do

[dostoy]

Do you really want to win a meaningless cup in the worst season for over 20 years ?

Do you really want Wenger to hold up the 'trophy' and then say he is staying for another 2 years at least ?

There MUST be, at least some, resistance at board level to Wenger staying and I hope a heavy defeat today will mean his contract is not extended.

Chelsea have been the best team this season and Arsenal have lots on absentees, they are the excuses already made.

Wenger OUT OUT OUT, whatever the result.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think this Wenger Out shite should be left for today, at least until after the result.

I'm sorry but any Arsenal fan wishing us for lose today has completely lost sight on what football is about.

[LDG]

I just hope we're not completely humiliated.

I get that we'll lose....but I couldn't stomach handed them the double and a hiding too.

[Niall_Quinn]

It's vital we beat Anthony Taylor today, for the good of football.

[Letters]

:gp:

I don't think the result has any bearing on Wenger's future anyway and, actually, nor should it.
The reasons for thinking he should leave are writ large over the last 2 seasons, a result in a one off game adds nothing to the argument.

So can we leave all that crap for later. Come on Arsenal. :scarf:

[Niall_Quinn]

Is this not on the BBC today? They have something called the FA Cup Show on, but it doesn't specifically say it's showing any football.

EDIT: Yes, it's on the Beeb. But the cunting FA have the kickoff some time tonight instead of at the obligatory fucking 3PM - you cunts! Was all geared up for a 3PM match.

CUNTS!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They were eating some burgers and chips so what more do you want?

[Letters]

I only realised it wasn't 3pm when someone on FB said something about regretting buying a ticket at 7:30pm.
No idea why they keep messing around with it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Now I'm going to be too drunk to watch it.

CUNTS!

[dostoy]

Its not shite at all.

Arsenal would be far far better off without Wenger, they could appoint a new manager and then challenge for the PL after signing a few top players, this will NEVER EVER happen with Wenger in charge.

The fuck all cup is a consolation cup if all else fails which it always seems to with Arsenal under Wenger.

[GP]

Is this really the match thread?

Fuck sakes.

Someone of you should be ashamed of yourselves.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

The level of negativity is something to behold.....though there are various reasonable arguments in support.

Come on the Arse!!!!!

I want Wenger out as much as anyone and I'm aware a win for us could mean the pressure easing on him, but that's for another day. It's a cup final, this is what football is all about. If as a fan you can't appreciate today for what it is, then as Maccy said, you've completely lost sight about what being a fan means.

[Gooner23]

It's Arsenal in a cup final, I want them to win. Come on lads!

[LDG]

So it's Ospina, Monreal, Holding, Merts at the back I guess...

:crying:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BBC's programme is on now

Piss off, dostoy.

I will say what I like, that is what a forum is all about

Some people are very short sighted on here.

I will not swear at anyone, that is what little people do.

[AFC Leveller]

Such a slow back line. Ox at lwb is a bit shit tbh he is not left footed.

4-1 Chelsea.

Yeah! I also hope we don't win a trophy so that hopefully we can win trophies.

Piss off, dostoy.

Since April time the match threads have gotten increasingly shit

[Niall_Quinn]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DA1-HZfW0AA4YH5.jpg

Even shitbag knows starting lamppost is suicide, so it's a relief to see he hasn't gone that far. He's had to make do with his ridiculous Ospina moment instead.

[Master Splinter]

Anthony Taylor.

We're essentially starting 0-2, a man down and on eight bookings.

Costa and Cahill to be booked in the 94th minutes after getting away with assault for the previous 93.

5-2, BFG hat-trick.

[Niall_Quinn]

Could the people who keep on moaning at anyone who isn't giving it 100% support today - SHUT THE FUCK UP PLEASE? The "I'm a better fan than you" routine is fucking boring. And can the grovelling fucks with their good posting, good posting bullshit give it a rest too? Cheers :good:

Once the match starts, I'm sure every Arsenal fan will know which way to cheer, and it won't be for the chav cunts in blue. Or their poxy ref Taylor. I'm sure we can all agree that provided Costa breaks his fucking neck it will be a good day out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't think you were reading the previous posts.

[Niall_Quinn]

After all these years, maybe, maybe I'm starting to consider Sol a gooner. Maybe.

[Letters]

I hope we win

Prince William?

Sorry. I seem to have turned into Maccy

[Niall_Quinn]

Get your tits out for the lads!

[Letters]

Prince William?

Open goal tbh:lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Sweepstake on Azzah's first dive?

2 mins for me.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sounds like the Emirates.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea hoofing it.

[Letters]

Got to 3 minutes without conceding.
I'd have taken that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ALEXIS!!!!!!!?

[Letters]

:lol: Why wasn't that given?
Ramsey didn't take part

[Master Splinter]

ALEXIS!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ALEXIS!!!!!!

30 for the season. :bow:

[GP]

GET THE FUCK IN!!

[Letters]

Oh! He's given it!
Ok, now I'm nervous

[Niall_Quinn]

Jesus fuck! Mother in law rang, I kid you not, precisely when the whistle went for KO.

[Niall_Quinn]

ALEXIS!

[Niall_Quinn]

Taylor - like I said, superb ref!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holding telling Costa he's a nutter.

[Letters]

No action on Costa's cuntery

[Niall_Quinn]

Poor old BBC commentators. Gutted.

[Niall_Quinn]

Should be red for that cunt Costa.

[Globalgunner]

Holding telling Costa he's a nutter.

Even Diego's mother would agree

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro dive.

Monreal given the yellow? :haha:

[Gooner23]

Taylor couldn't help himself, after the goal he had to give Chelsea something back. Never a booking for Monreal

[Letters]

Pedro dive.

Monreal given the yellow? :haha:

Wasn't it Ramsey for the pull back?

[Globalgunner]

Taylor couldn't help himself, after the goal he had to give Chelsea something back. Never a booking for Monreal

Commentator said the yellow was to Ramsey, tugging Pedro back

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wasn't it Ramsey for the pull back?

Probably but BBC did bring up the Monreal graphic.

[Letters]

Playing really well so far.
Where has this Arsenal been for half the season?!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis with a howitzer but over.

[Letters]

Probably but BBC did bring up the Monreal graphic.

FAKE NEWS!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three to block Diego Costa!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cahill clears off the line!

[Master Splinter]

Ozil :doh:.

Alexis :bow:.

[Letters]

Piss! Off the line from Ozil

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh man, that's a bad miss :doh:

[Globalgunner]

Really need grade A Ozil to win this

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey, fucking hell. :doh:

[Master Splinter]

WTF?

Should be 3-0.

FFS.

[Letters]

Ramsey :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

You are kidding me?

Should be 3-0

[Globalgunner]

Ramsey!!!!, Had to do better there

[Letters]

Need another one while we're on top

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giving it a good old pick Zouma.

[Letters]

Defending really well so far

[Niall_Quinn]

Why isn't that a yellow then?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kante booked? No?

[Letters]

Why isn't that a yellow then?

BBC bending over backwards to justify it

[Globalgunner]

No Foul Kante....? Taylor reverting to type

[Niall_Quinn]

Got to be a yellow.

WHY NOT????

[Niall_Quinn]

So what the fuck did Monreal get booked for then?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not sure what BFG and Ospina were doing there but Ospina saves it and gets hurt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mamma Mia. :lol:

[Letters]

Holding :doh:

Ospina :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chaos on Chelsea's goalline again.

[Niall_Quinn]

Holding got done there. Got to be stronger against that fuck Costa. Who definitely left his foot in on the keeper. Knew exactly what he was doing.

[Master Splinter]

FFS!!!

Should be 4-0.

:doh:

[Globalgunner]

Welbz is hopeless. A pacy Giroud, nothing more

[Letters]

Booking? No? Oh piss off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Courtois saves from Xhaka boom.

[Letters]

Great hit from Xhaka

[AFC Leveller]

Should be at least 3-0 up here.

Will TK be more clinical otherwise Taylor and his boys will come back and bite us in the ass

[Letters]

They are shepherding Hazard really well so far

[Niall_Quinn]

Got to buy a quality striker in the summer. Surely even Wenger can twig that?

[Niall_Quinn]

Who is the chavvy co-commentator today? What a twat.

[Letters]

Merts and Monreal have been great so far

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bambi. :bow:

Ice. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Welbeck will always give you 100% but it's 100% of not very much.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil's corners have been great today.

[Globalgunner]

Should be o`er the hills and far away. Damn!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro skies it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Are they still crying about our onside goal?

[Letters]

Welbeck will always give you 100% but it's 100% of not very much.

He's looked lively but he isn't clinical. That isn't news.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ox on the left is quite awkward for him.

[Letters]

Are they still crying about our onside goal?

Tbf they said right from the start it was onside

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diving shit Hazard.

[Letters]

Piss off Hazard

[Globalgunner]

Hazard!!!!. The boy has no shame

[Letters]

Diving shit Hazard.

Probably a foul but we could do without the "at deaths door" act

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil :bow:

Azzah the queer cunt doesn't get his dive this time.

[Edinburgh Gooner]

I fucking hates hazard

[Master Splinter]

Some poor passing from Ozil. Needless.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Taylor gives a freekick. Shite.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

WTF is that for? What a joke.

[Letters]

Free kick gone to find Waddle's penalty

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT. :popcorn:

[Letters]

1-0 HT. Good, but should be 3 or 4 and that may come back to bite us

[Globalgunner]

We need to step up. Conte will soon haul off Moses and Put Willian on. Miles better player.

[Gooner23]

Really good half, lack of ruthlessness will come back to bit us.

[Letters]

"Fortunate goal". Shearer
Shut up you mong

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 4-0 :bow:

Should be. But have to settle for 1-0.

Good performance. None of that tippy tap. Merts actually doing quite well.

[selassie]

Should be 3 up, we tore them apart in the first 20 minutes. We just need to keep it tight and take our chances second half.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ball to hand, so shut the fuck up. Handball has to be deliberate and it wasn't. Ball was hit at him from half a yard FFS.

[Marc Overmars]

Gutted we didn't get a 2nd goal!

Keep it up lads! :scarf:

[Niall_Quinn]

Azzah has hardly been in the game. I can remember 2 dives from him, which is way below his average. Costa too, only 2 blatant kicks at opponents.

[Gooner23]

Given the circumstances Merts has been excellent, fair play.

Xhaka has also been superb, there's definitely a good player in there.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Jesus, Ozil ran back to make a challenge

WHY WERENT WE PLAYING LIKE THIS ALL SEASON????

[Niall_Quinn]

Can you believe that fucks on social media have taken the time to get on and complain about black arm bands not being worn? Don't these cunts have something better to do, like killing themselves? Professional virtue signallers.

[Gooner23]

Lineker really is a bitter spud cunt

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh thank fuck! After a full investigation it seems the chavs aren't trying to piss on the graves of the dead and they just forgot to put the fucking armbands on. BBC assures us that this will be decisively rectified for the second half. The sheer relief. We can switch focus to the football now maybe.

[Niall_Quinn]

Come on then! 3 more please!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG and Holding. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ospina saves from Kante's deflected pub.

[Niall_Quinn]

Well done Ospina. Needed to be awake there.

[Letters]

Merts :bow:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Only 40 hours left

[Niall_Quinn]

BFG doing just great. Good lad.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ospina saves from Moses. Eek.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Christ

[Niall_Quinn]

What a ludicrous decision by Taylor.

[Letters]

Costa acting like a toddler again

[Xhaka Can’t]

Where's the yellow for all that shit?

[Niall_Quinn]

New Burberry catalogue has just been released. Chav crowd goes wild.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holding booked. :haha:

[Letters]

Yellow card :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Xhaka should be booked for those 9 infringements in a row by Cunta.

That Murphy cunt wants to suck Costa's cock I think.

[Xhaka Can’t]

How the fuck is that a free kick? And a fucking yellow?

Fuck off

[Master Splinter]

Arsenal booking for every foul.

Chelsea immune until the 95th minute.

[Letters]

Where's the yellow for all that shit?

Ah, there it is. He saved it for one of our players

[Globalgunner]

First 2 yellows to us, Well done Taylor

[Niall_Quinn]

Such an advantage when one team is allowed to foul and the other isn't.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bellerin ruined it.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Hector ffs

[Master Splinter]

Bellerin you moran!

[Niall_Quinn]

Arsenal booking for every foul.

Chelsea immune until the 95th minute.

195th minute today, if the score stays like this.

[Letters]

Bad ball from Bellerin. Piss

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm not liking this tbf.

[Niall_Quinn]

We've stopped pressing the ball.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Moses booked. Run at him!

[Master Splinter]

Chelsea booking. :faint:

[Letters]

Ah, the ref has found he is allowed to books Chelsea players

[Niall_Quinn]

Takes an assault with full weapons pack but finally a chav gets booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro combs it wide, feared the worst there.

[Xhaka Can’t]

COME ON YOU REDS!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kante booked. :faint:

[Letters]

COME ON YOU REDS!!!

I agree

[Niall_Quinn]

Murphy doesn't like it when players in blue get booked.

[Ernesto]

Finally cunte gets booked.

If referees didn't think it was so.fashionable to send Xhaka off every other game, we woulda seen far more dismissals for ****e

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Matic off, Cesc on. :sick:

[Niall_Quinn]

Just need a bit of composure now. Passes going astray, gaps being left.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Hector is poor at crossing the ball

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yes, Big Friendly German. :unsure:

[Niall_Quinn]

Hector - try passing to our guys with those crosses.

[Niall_Quinn]

Welbeck has a touch of Gervinho in him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Courtois saves from Bellerin.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Hector isn't very good at shooting

[Niall_Quinn]

Can you imagine Henry at his prime up against this very ordinary chav defence? Especially with Ozil firing bullets.

[Letters]

:sick: have to get a 2nd

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Can you imagine Henry at his prime up against this very ordinary chav defence? Especially with Ozil firing bullets.

Well it is a final...

[Letters]

Hector isn't very good at shooting

Tried to place it.

[Letters]

Moses SENT OFF FOR DIVING!!!

:haha:

Taylor :bow:

[Letters]

WTF?! Taylor not only refuses to gives Chelsea a penalty but sends one of their players off

[Globalgunner]

Ref doing his job. sends the loon off. Can you believe it!!!

[Ernesto]

Yes! Almost cheered that as much as the goal

[Niall_Quinn]

YOU DIVING CHEATING CUNT MOSES!

GET OFF YOU CUNT!

CHEAT CHEAT CHEAT!

[Letters]

The good thing is Arsenal are famously competent at closing out games

[Xhaka Can’t]

That was brilliant refereeing

[Niall_Quinn]

Murphy - "It's not about Victor Moses, it's about diving in general. This is why it's not a good idea, sometimes you get caught."

[Niall_Quinn]

The good thing is Arsenal are famously competent at closing out games

Yeah, tbf I was happier at 11 vs 11.

[Globalgunner]

The good thing is Arsenal are famously competent at closing out games

Should be a stroll from here...But it is us....so anything is possible

[Letters]

That was brilliant refereeing

I didn't think that was a post I'd see in this thread tbh, but yeah

[Xhaka Can’t]

We have been very good today. I just wish we had put more chances away.

[Niall_Quinn]

WTF?! Taylor not only refuses to gives Chelsea a penalty but sends one of their players off

Abramovich forgot to sign the cheque. It was in the same bag as the armbands.

[Letters]

Oh piss of Ox! :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro off, Willian on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh piss of Ox! :doh:

Ox piss?

We really are playing well but we have to get a 2nd

Well I have been out in the sun today.

[Letters]

Ox piss?

[Niall_Quinn]

Ox :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Willian on. Dive! Dive! Dive!

[Penguin]

Alonso falls over every time he gets touched and gets a free kick.

[GP]

Alonso falls over every time he gets touched and gets a free kick.

The referee is afraid he'll murder him like he murdered that family.

[Letters]

Properly nervous now :sick:

[Niall_Quinn]

Walcott for Welbeck, Coquelin for Ramsey.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 Diego Costa.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Fuck right off

:ilt:

[Penguin]

Fuck off. Why were we giving them so much space?

[Globalgunner]

We are back!

[Letters]

Come on Arsenal. Just keep going.

[selassie]

I bet we end up losing.

[Gooner23]

Cech would have saved that

[Xhaka Can’t]

We should have been out of sight.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbeck off, Bif on.

[Niall_Quinn]

So anyway - THAT WAS A FUCKING FOUL ON OZIL and would have been given 100% of the time the other way around.

CUNTING CUNTY CUNT!
