Oh well I picked 9 of the first 11 correctly

Nice to see Ram in there, hope he has a good one, likewise Nelson

First time we played Liverpool in the FA cup was 1st February 1913 where we lost 4-1 at Highbury

Then after the Great War we played them again on Saturday 13th January 1923 where we drew 0-0 at Anfield, followed by another 4-1 defeat at Highbury four years later

Then we played again at Highbury 4 years later on the 19th Feb 1927 where we won 2-0

We didn’t play again until 1936 where we won 2-0 at Anfield on the 25th January

Our first of three FA cup final meetings was at Wembley on 29th April 1950 (8 days after my Dad was born) we won again 2-0

Then back to back defeats in the 1962/1963 season and 1963/1964 season going down 2-1 at Highbury and 5-0 at Anfield the following season respectively

Shouldn’t need to explain what happened in the 1971 FA cup final to anyone

Took a marathon four matches to settle things in the semi finals of 1979/1980 and we finally came out ahead only to lose to West Ham in the final

Wouldn’t play each other in the cup again until that infamous 2001 FA cup final. The last time we lost to Liverpool in the fa cup


Played a year later and won 1-0 at Highbury due to a Dennis Bergkamp goal


Then in 2007 we won 3-1 at Anfield on the 6th January (a game I went to see) it was three days before we went back to Anfield for the league cup game where we won 6-3


Then most recently in 2014 we won 2-1 at the Emirates on the way to our first trophy in nine years

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal.

Utter shit from…someone

[HCZ_Reborn]

Nelson

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alisson saves from Havertz

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh Nelson, what a chance.

Oh Nelson, what a chance.

Ah yes. Him.
Another example of the lack of quality up front.
