Hopefully this gives us a shot in the arm confidence wise as before the shoot out it was woefully lacking. Tested Carson seriously once in extra time. We need players back desperately we don't look capable of scoring goals. Hard to judge a player based on ten minutes but Kallstrom looks like a load of old shit.Quote:

Not surprising that with the bad form we're on we didn't produce a great performance.
But we were definitely the better team and deserved to win. We've worked hard to get to the final, it's up for grabs now and let's fucking take it! :)
Well, that was easy. Had absolutely no doubt we'd win it.
To the finals we go. :patrice:
Us. :bow:
Did we have to play Sanogo today as part of some FA Handicap system to even up the sides.
Dear God we were poor. We are a poor side right now.
We kinda dominated and Wigan never really looked much like scoring till we gave them a hand but we have nothing, NOTHING up front. No threat at all. There's no creativity and no cutting edge.
But...we're in the FA Cup Final. So :scarf:
Great pens. Fabs :bow:
Let's not cock this up now lads.
I'm pleased for the players, because no-one could fault their effort today, and they, particularly Fabianski, showed great composure for the penalties. But I'm afraid that this was yet another in an expanding portfolio of games that laid bare the utter ineffectiveness of how the Arsenal team approach the game, and the utter lack of match winners that we have. Other than the goal - it was straightforward as it gets for Wigan to defend against us.
Wasn't as much a pub win as a, keg of Special Brew smashed open with a rock because we forgot the tin opener, triumph. Trying to measure how bad Sanogo was is difficult because he was so much worse than any other human being that has ever attempted to play the game. Literally an extra defender for Wigan, thereby leaving us a man light. So we struggled badly to pose any threat to the Wigan goal.
Happily Wigan had come to survive and nick a goal. They almost did when Merts stupidly dived in, at least he made up for it with the equaliser.
Amazed we won the shootout. That extra confidence Flapster gave us with his saves made all the difference. We can pub another result in the final surely, unless we do something really stupid. Like select Sanogo again.
Not much else to say about performances these days, they are all much the same. Poor.
Pub the cup and slip into the Europe Pub League? You have to fancy Everton on the run in now unless we can seriously pull our shit together.
MOTM - Fabianski
Twat of the Match: The ref for not getting the card out for outrageous fouls.
