Match Reaction vs Wigan Athletic (neutral).

[Munchies]

Sanogo definitely isn't ready for us right now, but he was all that we really had, he needs to go out on loan.

[IBK]

I'm emotionally a wreck, I feel like someone who has been told by a doctor that I have three months to live, but thirty minutes later informed sorry that was someone else's medical file and I'm going to be fine. Any sense of anger is overridden by an overwhelming sense of relief.

I couldn't celebrate when Mertesacker scored, not because I wasn't happy but first it took me by surprise because I assumed it was offside, but I was so mentally drained It was as much as I could do to raise my arms in elation.

I had been mentally writing Wengers epitaph, and for all the times he has infuriated and frustrated me I was pleading inside "please don't let it end like this" so fuck knows what was going on in his head. I want him so badly to finish in the top four, win us the cup and then go, he's clearly had his time but still feel he deserves to go with his name being sung rather than the Chant of "you don't know what you're doing". Maybe I'm a closet sentimentalist.

Sincere stuff. I think I agree.

People are being unfair on sanogo, thought he was better than Giroud when they were on the pitch together. I prefer us to go back to 4-4-2, Wenger used to say 5 in midfield was negative and you covered more areas of the pitch with 4-4-2. Also think that would give more protection to our full backs.

Wigan played well I thought they played how any underdog will play. We've done it before. We got there but we play like that in the league we won't be playing CL football next season.

Sanogo did well in terms of energy but his decision making when through on goal is shocking. He looked out of his depth - and his reaction to the chances he got did a lot to convince me that he is no future star.

For example - what number do you think he'd have been if 5 penalties hadn't been enough? About 10th or 11th place for me.

[Munchies]

We were literally around 10 minutes away from the season, and indeed the club imploding.

Massive win. And it'll raise the team's confidence in getting fourth.

Kosc, Ozil, Wilshere, Ramsey fit properly are all soon to be back too.

We have a decent run in with a run of home games, compared to Everton who have United/City, top 4 should be ours hopefully.

Yep, he's way too raw. Can't fault him for effort and on occassions he does do some good stuff.

I can only hope the centre forward position is addressed this summer, we need 1 top quality striker and a very good backup striker too IMHO.

Diego Costa or someone on his level.
Remy
That Bundesliga guy from Switzerland

Get rid of Bendtner and Giroud, send Sanogo on loan.

I'd keep Giroud if we change our formation to 2 up top, but I doubt Wenger will.

£3.20 for a medium Coke, fuuuuuuck off, over paid pale imitation of the real thing...come to think of it...
Still shocked my match prediction was spot on we were shit, they were shit, Fab save us plus some clinical penalty takers. Even with with most of the squad dead we still had chances, we need a striker. Highlights on...

Thinking back on what that twat Keane was saying after the game - criticising the players for celebrating getting to a cup final? What a fucking knob. It's nothing at all like celebrating 4th as he was trying to make out.

Starting to change my mind about this cup having watched the players' reactions after the pen shootout. If it means that much to them and gives them a taste of actually achieving something then fine, that's a good thing.

Watching Sanogo on the highlights, maybe I was a bit hard on him. He's got something but it's so raw. Regardless, we definitely shouldn't be in a position where we have to field a player who is essentially a novice.

Looking at the stats, Wigan really didn't do much at all. We dominated in every area. 63% possession and 28 shots to their 8, apparently. So toothless up top though. Otherwise we would have slaughtered them.

No alcohol served in the Wembley district an hour before kick off. All pubs and off licence shops stop serving. Fucking disgrace.

Arteta, Rambo, and Vermaelen.
