FA Cup QF: Sheffield United v Arsenal, 13:00 BST (28/06, BT Sport 1)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Since we knew the season was going to be resuming, I've been fairly sure we'll get dumped out here.

Having said that, Sheffield United haven't scored a goal since the restart. We'll help with that.

[dazthegooner]

Didn't know if this has been posted elsewhere but Theo Foley has passed :rose: https://www.arsenal.com/news/rest-peace-theo-foley

[Marc Overmars]

Only meaningful game we’ve got. So come on you shit kickers, let’s do this.

[GP]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mesut has a bad back again. :lol:

What is the point?

[I am invisible]

3 CBs and wing backs again?

[Globalgunner]

Looks like 433 to me

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just realised I got the start time wrong. :lol:

This is actually on now.

[Mac76]

feels like a bit of a second 11 out today, not sure that's the right tactic as i think this is our best chance of a European place

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norwood free kick, goes right out of play.

[Mac76]

mustafi already moaning at our goalie, getting his excuses in early - Emi just ignores him

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Lundstram. :rolleyes:

[Marc Overmars]

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VAR disallows it!

:haha:

0-0 it remains. :dance:

[Marc Overmars]

VAR :bow:

[Mac76]

we were still completely bullied in our own box, they were all over us

[Mac76]

should have been 1-0 to utd then - good attempted assist from mustafi

[Globalgunner]

Our defending is nightmarish. Our clunkers have no idea what they are doing. Only Wenger would buy 2 German dumbkoffs in a row in Merts and Mustafi

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done AMN.

[Mac76]

xhaka nutmegged :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willock's corner. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PELANTY!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Peter Walton is speechless that we've actually got one.

[Mac76]

willock's corner :doh:

[Mac76]

Willock's corner. :haha:

damn i'm a minute or two behind as usual...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PEPE!!!! Goal machine. :bow:

[Mac76]

great pel

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Henderson saves from Pepe.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sheffield United are just going to try and murder us by the looks of it.

Fleck booked.

[Mac76]

can we have this ref every week? he's actually penalising the opposition for constantly fouling us

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lundstram off, Berge on.

[Mac76]

serves lundstram right for trying to beat up willock

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willock and McBurnie collide. :sick:

[Mac76]

Willock and McBurnie collide. :sick:

looked like mcburnie made sure willock got his shoulder in the head

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tierney with an odd volley, goes wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinez saves from Norwood.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe strikes, wide.

Great move though.

[Master Splinter]

Pepe should have scored there.

At least he's playing well today though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Seven added minutes.

[Mac76]

good block from luiz

[Mac76]

mustafi :rolleyes:

[Master Splinter]

Upson/Southgate advocating the "let them know you're there" bollocks.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good hoofing from Martinez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 HT.

[Mac76]

we looked better as the game went on

having luiz, mustafi and kola as CBs is a bit of a joke but we've just about got away with it so far

[Mac76]

"she said no Robin, she said no" :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McBurnie flick-on header, Martinez saves it.

[Mac76]

McBurnie flick-on header, Martinez saves i.

the ball went straight to mcburnie over xhaka... :rolleyes:

[Mac76]

luiz :rose:

holding coming on :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Luiz off injured.

One every match. :bow:

[Letters]

Holding hoofs it into touch :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Henderson nearly scored. :haha:

[Mac76]

Holding hoofs it into touch :lol:

aka 'clears the danger safely' ;)

[Letters]

:lol: Their keeper nearly scored :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Sheffield United again. :lol:

Nervous kittens at the back for us. :faint:

[Letters]

Goal for them ruled out for offside.

We are getting a bit o a bartering at the moment.

[Mac76]

we bring every single player back and still can't do a thing when they play a decent ball in

we desperately need better defenders and a better defensive coach

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Basham fucks it. :lol:

Another commanding performance from us.

[Mac76]

xhaka too slow to make the pass

[Letters]

Basham should have scored.
Getting spanked

[Mac76]

we are completely 100% useless at dealing with balls in the air

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Baldock off, K. Freeman on.

[Mac76]

xhaka goes down like a feather - remind me why he's first on the teamsheet again? :shrug:

[Letters]

Our passing is genuinely pathetic.

[Letters]

xhaka goes down like a feather - remind me why he's first on the teamsheet again? :shrug:

Reverse alphabetical order?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willock off, Ceballos on.

Lacazette hauled off, Nketiah on.

[Mac76]

wtf was that goal kick routine...?! :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kolasinac block to deny Berge.

Stoke United.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka howitzer blocked.

[Mac76]

come on arsenal just pub it through to the close and get to the next round

[Master Splinter]

Tierney looks like a really good player.

[Mac76]

Xhaka howitzer blocked.

henderson had it covered even if the defender didn't get it

[Letters]

0-1 Three Quarters Time

[Mac76]

Tierney looks like a really good player.

that's because he's a really good player

[Mac76]

0-1 Three Quarters Time

i'm really surprised they aren't squeezing in ads during these drinks breaks, i thought the whole thing was a plot by the TV people to get more ads in

[Letters]

Another contender for stupidest way to concede a throw

[Globalgunner]

that's because he's a really good player

He and Saka are the 2 most technically adept players we have now. The rest are so so pub

[Globalgunner]

Didnt this Sheffield team get absolutely mullered by Utd a few days ago?

[Letters]

He and Saka are the 2 most technically adept players we have now. The rest are so so pub

I am genuinely baffled at how many players at the top level are so poor on the ball.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robinson booked. Scrote.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Basham off, Sharp on.

[Letters]

Robinson takes one for the team.
That could have been a good break

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How was that not a foul from McBurnie?

[Mac76]

mcburnie really is a c**t

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tierney low cross, nobody could get to it. Well, none of ours.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Let it drop. Defensive masterclass from us.

[Mac76]

our corners are so uniformly awful

[Letters]

This is so low quality :doh:

[Master Splinter]

What colour is Billy Sharp?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba is getting pissed off.

[Mac76]

auba been warming up but he shouldn't be brought on IMO, the last thing we want is him being kicked about by this bunch of stoke rejects

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How was that a foul either?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fuck up at the back.

1-1 McGoldrick.

[Mac76]

no foul by nketiah but also he did fluff up the chance before that

[Letters]

:rolleyes:

[Master Splinter]

Paul Tierney has more than made up for his competent first half refereeing by giving everything to Sheffield United in the second.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinez saves from Sharp.

[Mac76]

kola :rolleyes:

does this mean extra time? :ilt:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Five added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

CEBALLOS!!! COME ON!!!!!!

[Master Splinter]

CEBALLOS!!!

[Mac76]

Martinez saves from Sharp.

sharp just spat on the ground - isn't that a sending off or something?

[Letters]

CEBALLOS!!! COME ON!!!!!!

My stream is about 2 minutes behind, heard we’d scored from my Gooner neighbour long before I saw it! :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe off, Sokratis on.

Auba. :lol:

[Mac76]

great goal

[Globalgunner]

Can we hold on?. Not sure we have it in us. Panic stations no doubt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fleck knees Ceballos in the face, no foul says McManaman.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sheffield United 1-2 The Arsenal, FT!

Have that you Stoke tribute act shitstains.

Semi-finals again. :bow:

[Letters]

Bloody hell that was awful!

[Mac76]

game over

not convincing but two good goals

Wilder :pal:

sharp :pal:

mcburnie :pal:

[Master Splinter]

no foul says McManaman.

And Upson/Southgate. He's an absolute moron. The monotone hides the fact he's a big a twat as Murphy/McManaman/Mills/Savage/Ratface The Younger.

[Xhaka Can’t]

i'm really surprised they aren't squeezing in ads during these drinks breaks, i thought the whole thing was a plot by the TV people to get more ads in

They’re playing the long game.

It will happen.
