Wigan Athletic v Arsenal - FA Cup Semi-Final - Saturday 12 April (17:07/ITV)

[Niall_Quinn]

I hope the boys are up for this and not turn up like they did against Liverpool, Chelsea and Everton. We have to win the FA Cup as 4th place is all ours with Everton having some tough fixtures, and I dont think they can perform in such intensity as they did against us.

Keep telling you, it was the camera angle that made Kallstrom look like a giant. He's not really that big. He's the same size as all the other little boys. Hope they don't have mattresses strapped to their backs for this one. Need to be awake, have a crap, washed, teeth brushed, dressed, read the paper and breakfasted. Need to get that all out of the way before kick off.

Talks the cup, Wenger, Ozil, signings.

apparently Wenger has said we need to go back to basics when it comes to defending, all very well but i still don't think defending is the issue, i think getting a lead to defend is the issue and we have scored five goals in the last six games.

I think that's right. We've only come from behind to win 1 game this season, which was West Ham on Boxing Day. Shows how weak our attack has been when asked to chase a game.

And our record in games where we have taken the lead in the match at any point during the 90 minutes, 28 wins 4 draws 1 defeat....which i would say is a good indicator of being able to protect a lead.

Our attack is just weak full stop. Happily our defence (a few notable exceptions aside) has been very good this season.
Tomorrow is unlikely to be a goal-fest. We'll probably pub team a 1-0.

The thing with our attack is that it's lost everything that it had early on, players were interchanging, making runs and generally being unpredictable to defend against.

Now, the only thing defences have to worry about is Giroud, and he offers no threat to them at all.

Good thing Ramsey is back, in the short time he had against Everton, he was the only player who was going direct at them.

Yes - even a 75% fit Ramsey looked the pick of the bunch for his cameo at the weekend.

Pub at midday to get smashed before heading off to the stadium
