It should be a challenge to relish and I don't get that vibe from the club anymore for the FA Cup.
I'd love to win this again, given we'd equal the Mancs record number of wins.
Champions League is compulsory? Will that mean Wenger :wave: then if we don't make it?
Hope so.
Wenger OUT!
That's always been his safety net hasn't it, he prides himself on the 14 years of consecutive qualification line. Not sure what defence he would have if we missed out, but I'm sure there will be plenty of excuses doing the rounds.Quote:

Wenger acts as if qualifying for the Champions League and winning the FA Cup cannot be achieved together, and that you have to sacrifice one to achieve the other. This is not true, because as MO says FA Cup games come every 3 weeks or so, therefore as long as your squad is strong enough to compete on multiple fronts (which it should be) there's no reason not to go for the FA Cup as well. If the squad isn't strong enough to go for the FA Cup, that's Wenger and the board's fault for failing to bring in high quality players to supplement the squad in the summer, which we all know is the case.
Wenger has clearly said "I don't like the FA Cup. Never have. We don't have the resources to try and win against Leeds, therefore, we will put out the most rubbish side possible, and hope that we get beaten".Quote:

Wenger is so out of touch with the fans, none of whom see the FA Cup as simply for enjoyment, it's for winning. If this is the attitude we have going into this match, then there's every chance of a shock tonight.Quote:
The FA Cup is something that is for enjoyment.
Winning it would bring enjoyment, no?Quote:

were getting to the point where fans are seeing winning a trophy as the b all and end all.
There's always a criticism that can be dug from somewhere for those bothered to try.Quote:

Arsenal subs: Martinez, Yennaris, Benayoun, Ryo, Walcott, Park, Henry.
something magical about seeing Henry's name on the teamsheet again. the king is well and truely back where he belongs.
Why not put park, YFB and Ryo in the starting lineup and let them play ffs?!?
