Are they raffling it off?
0-3
:lol:
Only if Pep throws his former cone placer a bone.
To have any chance of winning we first need to make it a contest, something we’ve proven to be incapable of doing against City for a number of meetings now.
If we lose then so be it, it’s not going to surprise anyone. Let’s just give it a good fucking go and put in a performance we can all be proud of whatever the result. Instead of just doing the usual act of turning up to pussyfoot around and eventually roll over.
Worse teams than us have beaten City this season, even Norwich managed it. We just need to play without fear but I know that’s a big ask for this team. It’s not impossible though.
Come on Arsenal!
Well I guess after the last triumph we could win this. All seems a bit random. The only thing we can rely on is it'll be a shit performance. Which was good enough last time.
3-0 to City more likely though.
I'd like to see Torreira and Ceballos start instead of slow-mo Xhaka. Who am I kidding tho.. Xhaka will start.
:ilt:
We could pub a win like in 2017, either that or it'll be 6-0 to Citeh
Our record against them since the 2017 semi final.

:lol:
Changed my mind
4-3
:trophy:
Best hope here is another Liverpool performance - defend deep, conserve energy and try and force errors. We’re not ready to match them in anything fancier yet - if we try it then we’ll just be chasing shadows all game and we’ll be spent by the half hour mark...
Wonder if we’ll roll the dice again on formation to keep them guessing?
BT's programme is on now.
Arsenal: Martinez, Mustafi, David Luiz, Tierney, Bellerin, Ceballos, Xhaka, AMN, Pepe, Lacazette, Aubameyang.
Ozil not even in the squad :rolleyes:
They're saying it's better for us that we don't qualify for the Europa League.
That means they're saying it's desirable for us not to win the FA Cup. :haha:
FA Cup semi-final, no fucker can get to the stadium and BT don't open it up for free to air. :rolleyes:
Citeh: Ederson, Walker, Garcia, Laporte, Mendy, Gundogan, D Silva, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling.
Subs: Carson, Stones, Zinchenko, Bernardo, Rodrigo, Fernandinho, Cancelo, Otamendi, Foden.
McManaman and Keown co-commentating along with Ian Darke.
:sick:
Ian Darke? So fisty cuffs awaits then? :)
AMN at left back - that makes sense, no problem there...
:rolleyes:
Come on then. :sick:
Not starting Saka is odd. Not sure what he can do after we're already 0-3 down at half-time because of three Luiz brainfarts.
Citeh's back five always have a few errors in them, so hopefully Lacazette is sharp again today. But we'll probably rarely get close enough to even pressure them.
5-1.
mcmananananaman's voice is unbearable
We nearly concede. :lol:
Well done Tierney.
Definitely a foul though before that.
Show a bit of composure Ceballos, no need to whack it forward with nobody in sight.
Just keep the ball with Martinez for the next 115 minutes tbf.
it's like watching a league 1 side against a PL side - we're just defending deep and trying to keep them out, when we get the ball we just give it away
Mustafi. :haha:
Clowning around.
Xhaka hooks away.
We're in for a hiding. :scarf:
mustafi tries to dribble past sterling just a few feet from goal - what a c**t and all totally predictable of course - well done arteta
Disallowed goal for Lacazette.
Moral victory. :bow:
Auba Henry'd it. :(
That was the chance! ffs!
Auba :doh:.
Auba should have taken it quicker :(
