WEMBERLEY!
Good performance, enjoyed that a lot.
Sanogo isn't ready. Flamini is a bit of a liability. Ozil is world class, absolutely top drawer. Ox is a beastly player. Wenger does it again :bow:
Better. Much better - from all. Propers to Ozil - THAT is more what we want to see from you. Also - Arteta - what composure. Very, very pleased. :scarf:
Really pleased - was feeling incredibly nervous going into the second half.
Great play by Sagna and Giroud for our third, and likewise between Ozil and Bif for the cherry on top of the cake.
Never in any doubt.
If we go on to win this thing we'd probably be the most deserving team to have done so in recent years. We've had to overcome three top 6 teams. Can't remember a run this hard.
WEMBLEY WEMBLEY WEMBLEY
WE'RE THE FAMOUS ARSENAL AND WE'RE OFF TO WEMBLEY
All our ties have been at home, But yeah good going by the ladsQuote:

Up the Arse! Nice scoreline in the end and through to the semi's.....which shouldn't be at Wembley but hey!
Had Arteta missed the second pen Arteta should have lamped Giroud.
4 points off top with a game in hand and a semi final in the FA Cup. suddenly our season doenst look that bad
Dont know why the refs have it in for Flamini. 1 tackle and he gets booked, while scrotes like Ramires make that type of tackle a dozen times a match with hardly a booking
only be four points with a game in hand if chelsea lose today at the moment we have played exactly the same amount of games as them.Quote:

LOOOOOOL - What a shocking day for the Owen Coyle 4 Arsenal Clique - Mesut, Mikel and Ollie x 2 Total disaster :haha:
Super performance by Ozil, smacking it straight back at the hating bitches. Santi on good form too and we have a special player on our hands with Ox. Sagna great, surely we have to sign him up?
Great goals, Arteta very cool on the double pen. 4th goal an absolute gem showing why we literally stole Ozil from Madrid. What a bargain.
Everton are no mugs but we handled them well despite the loss of Kos. Tommy was ok, good enough considering how long he has been out. Merts strong again. Gibbs a bit sloppy from time to time but he kept running.
Flappy was entertaining but solid.
Flamster kept dropping too deep, he was almost a third CB on occasion.
Sanogo, poor lad. Out of his depth again. Difference when Giroud came on was huge.
Good day at the races - crisis put on hold, doom forestalled. On we go to the next round and City.

SHE WORE
Flamini reminds me of Serge from The Returned, can imagine him waiting for unsuspecting young women in underpasses so he can assault them and eat their organs.Quote:

Flamini should use a little more street smarts with getting booked. The smart destroyers will make several of those little fouls that they know the ref will let go half a dozen times before he cautions you. Usually it entails NOT going to ground.....or just do that annoying rotational team foul thing.
Anyway, the combo of Flambé and Arteta worked well.....though it is hardly the symbiotic dream team duo of choice to me.
I don't even know why it had to be retaken. You see that and far worse at literally every pelanty.Quote:

well to be fair on him, he gave us the penalty in the first place....i think only chelsea get fewer spot kick awards than us.
I did think that at the time....Quote:

what today also showed was that the best left back in england currently does not play for england. Gibbs was outstanding
Great win, really pleased with the performance and the flowing football, FA Cup giving me a feel good factor I've not had a for a long time, hope we get to the final would be a great day. Oxo and Ozil were brilliant and love the way they all combined with Cazorla, these kind of performances as so much more enjoyable than the usual stuff we churn out.
Only one downside, FA cup is mickey mouse and meaningless :(
Sorry but that's nonsense.Quote:

Looking forward to the Semis! Hopefully we avoid Man City.
Downside of the cup aside, a win is a win and this had a performance attached as well. Much better stuff.Quote:

shaw is very good but IMO Gibbs is the best. Baines second, shaw 3rd cole 4th.Quote:

Seriously, you think they'll pass up a big top of the PL semi and then David vs Goliath in the final? Bank on getting the gypos. Two of the balls will be glowing red hot for the draw,
Great performance today and a great win, Wenger seemed happy too, perhaps the magic of the FA Cup is being rediscovered by Monsieur Wenger?Quote:

If we play like this we're capable of beating City, though they have one or two match winners themselves, I guess this issue is that we might freeze and play our negative game which would not be good.
Depends on the ref.Quote:

Imagine going to Wembley in May having narrowly beaten City in the semis and playing a hull or sunderland in the cup final.....we lost to Birmingham in the CC Final because our defence was poo....2-0 win staple diet scoreline and a first trophy since 2004.
And then i wake up with a damp sticky patch around my groin....even my dreams are pedestrian.
lol! I think we'll draw them too.Quote:
