And we're pretty good again.
They'll probably carve out less chances than Wigan.
Which was barely one.
If we don't have a mental block again, this should be about 0-3.
They will be without their top 2 players as well.Quote:

I remember I missed the 2004 fa cup final as I chose to go to the park to play football, hoping to come back and watch it from kick off. Come home and United are lifting the trophy :doh: .
It's cup tradition. The new kind.Quote:

I can think of maybe one or two decent finals in my living memory.
Even when the two teams are mismatched there is a cagey ness about the games because neither side wants to lose.
This final wont buck that trend
Hull will stick 11 men behind the ball and play for time, either to take one chance from a set piece opportunity or play for the lottery of penalties.
I think this game will be largely similar to our cup final against Southampton, scrappy affair...and decided by one goal. I think we will score in the second half look to push on for a seco d but lose confidence and pull back and Hull will be camped in our final third for the last ten minutes, and whilst jubilant when the final whistle goals frankly we will be glad it's all over.
Goalscorer?....Hmm Ozil, it seems somehow appropriate that our most expensive signing ends the trophy drought
New Tradition is like saying These rotting vegetables are freshQuote:

I'm gonna go for something a bit different
All the pressure is on us
Hull are the underdogs
Our players love to bottle it on the big occasions
3-0
Ozil hattrick
Firstly it's aspergers, secondly i am pretty sure pedantry is not a symptom of aspergersQuote:

If you look at the 2 teams and form then we should win this comfortably. However, its a cup final and form will not count for anything. They are missing their 2 decent players whom where available when we beat them 3-0 a few weeks ago.
We really just need to turn up and perform, i cant see us losing this especially since whats happended before in cup finals. The players should be up for it and confident. It all points to an Arsenal win.
Realistically it will be cagey unless we score early. Hull dont have the players to trouble us if we apply ourselves on the game. No new injuries going into the game and the players should be realtively fresh.
As for the team, i'm not sure who will start in goal but the rest of the team will probably be
Sagna, Kos, Mert, Gibbs, Ramsey, Arteta, Ozil, Carzorla, Giroud, Podolski.
Bench will be quite strong with Ox, Wilshere and Rosicky to call on if needed.
this could be 3-0 or a cagey 1-0 win.
Wenget says there's no new injury concerns.
Oxlade and Verm doubts though.
Ramsey hattrick :bow:
I'm not even nervous for this.
We're gonna win :scarf:
Yes we beat them recently and they are a bit shit but cup finals are very different to league games and there are no "rea;" underdogs.
Birmingham beat us in the 2011 CC final when most of us thought we'd walk it, Wigan beat City last year after they were relegated and Bradford/Bburn did us last season too so im not counting my chickens just yet.
Not because of final but Birmingham game was always tough for us . Even in Henry era .We used to beat them after sweating blood . Same as Wigan with City . But Hull is our dogshit . Bring them on for Ramsey to fuck them.Quote:
