Esp our FBs, they cant head for shit.

But i really think we can beat them because we are a much better side. Its a question of turning up and not getting our yearly OT collective nose bleeds.

Wenger will come out and say we were unlucky and nothing will change.


The script has already been written tbh.

That has, admittedly, been a depressing pattern in these games. But I genuinely think we're a better side than them this year, we do have a chance.

They suck! They really shouldn't be above us in the league but somehow they are. I don't know what they says about us. But we have a chance to kick their teeth in and knock them out of the cup. It's an exciting draw and we have wipe the floor with them.

Having refs on the roster helps them a lot.

Whether we're better or not, it doesn't matter, until Wenger prioritises the win at all costs over passing.

For the first time in years, he did, against Man City. I have a feeling that is a one off though.

He needs to get the players heads right. No fucking nerves, just go out there prepared, 100% will to win every ball. Diciplined, clinical and prepared to do whatever it takes.

And let's put a competitive bid in for the ref for a change.

If you look at our last few performances at OT, we've gone up there and played like shite, gifted them goals and looked scared. We need to grow a pair at these kinda venues, play our game bt at the same time not over commit the FBs.

Man ure have some ordinary players this season, toiler brus, Falcao, Blind, Shaw, Rojo etc. We have to beat them no matter what.

Nightmare draw but I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later

We were better than them last year too and still lost.

Sure, and City are better than us and we beat them :shrug:
Football isn't deterministic like that.

We do have a depressing history of outplaying Utd and losing to them but I don't fear Utd, they're really not that good and we should have enough to beat them IF (very big if) we turn up.
