Costel Pantilimon has now both won and lost an Fa Cup tie at the Emirates this season! (Was an unused squad member in Round 3) In what's been a terrible season for Chelsea, Ake could at least guarantee one of their players wins a medal! Ben Watson could win the FA cup for the 2nd time in 4 years. There are two Spanish coaches in the semi finals. Three years ago we both started and ended our season against the same team..an away match in the league in August followed by a Wembley cup final in May. The same could happen this year.
I think the issue here is actually your brother. Lock him in a cupboard, and make sure he doesn't go, then take your mate with his ticket.
3 out of 4 times we've been in the top flight, our first match was against Everton. It's possible 2 out of 2 time in an FA Cup final could also be against Everton. It must be some kind of "Z-Cars magic" thing.
The only question you need to ask yourself is...."Will my marriage survive if I miss her 40th to go watch the Horns win The FA Cup?"
Ross Barkley (10) is the only English player in the Premier League with more assists in all competitions than Deeney this season (8) Not good enough for England, Woy?
Don't get me wrong - I'm delighted that watford won. But if you can imagine such a thing, 22 blokes kicking a ball around a field isn't a huge deal for me. If we hadn't won today, we'd only have to wait about 6 months for the competition to start all over again. Actually, I probably care more than I should, seeing as football really doesn't matter in the slightest when compared to other things in life, such as family and friends.
To the guy that lobbed his coffee in the air in the lower tier when Ighalo scored I salute you. Much safer than a smoke grenade or flare
They're certainly beatable with their defence but Everton are the side I'd least like in the draw tomorrow. They seem extra motivated to get to the final after they unfairly lost the League Cup semi finals right at the death. Palace would be great, although we would just have to hope Adebayor doesn't rub our noses in it again for not signing him. We have a terrible record against United, but we could just as easily taken 4 points off them this season. Maybe it's our turn to beat them, in the same way it was our time to end a 6 match losing run against Arsenal today. West Ham are a very decent side but we've beaten them this season, so we shouldn't be afraid of them. I think the 3 sides through to the semi finals already are all better on the road than at home, so none of us should fear a trip to a neutral ground.
He can have a key role in the run in....an inspirational influence that we must tap in to more from now on....very proud of him
What a superb performance. Only got the chance to watch the last 15 mins of the first half and the second as I had to visit the mother-in-law in Bournemouth as she`d had a stroke. Fans were immense, as confirmed by an Arsenal fan on 606. Repeat of 84 on the cards with a different outcome. I love this club. COYH
Every time I see the Geudiora goal I think to myself why is he shooting from that angle then whack top corner and euphoria. This is just sensational.
Let's not be too harsh. If Gabriel was sent off, someone else would've been marking Iggy and wouldn't have been so appallingly easy to turn. Gabriel was too busy with his arms around Iggy to properly defend. Thanks for cheatin'.
Please, can we form a support group? I have booked a family holiday in Cyprus, coming back on the 22nd. It simply didn't cross my mind when I booked it that Watford could be at their second ever cup final on the 21st. I have floated the idea that I will come back a day early on a cheap flight and leave my wife to come back with the kids. She's not reacted too well so far. I think I'd better get her drunk and stage an incident, pretend that she crashed my car or something, so that I can manipulate her.
Today - Deeney, Ighalo and Guedioura. Wednesday - Messi, Suarez & Neymar. A tough few days for the Gooners
Went to see my gran today in Chorleywood who has not long come out of hospital so have seen nothing of the game and catching up now. Whenever I go to Chorleywood and the sun shines we always seem to do well! I could give you a few examples over the years! Anyway what a day to be a Watford fan, these a truly great times for us. Arsenal are fecking hilarious, their fans are too much, little cry baby whiners. Victory is sweet! Now to dust off my prawn sandwiches....
Didn't you miss the Wednesday game because of your wife's disapproval? Time to start putting your foot down Moog.
Good work. I almost squeezed my son to death in silent celebration as I was in the Arsenal end for this one.
BTW the TV replays do not do justice to how fast Guids shot was. I was sat right in line with the Arsenal goal and I can safely say it is the hardest shot Ive ever seen. Im sure there have been faster , but Ive not seen them.
Please tell me Wenger didn't say that? He's a complete laughing stock if he did. Shame to see such a great coach crumble into whinging mediocrity.
I've never stopped loving Guedioura, but before today I think I forgot just how much I did. I will never make that mistake again.
Lost 4-0, Giroud got a hattrick, Pantilimon was poor, Behrami shown a red card for a 2-footed challange on Sánchez. Bad day at the office.
What a game. What a goal. Outstanding performances all over the pitch, from Pantilimon's save at 1-0, Nyom having one of his best games in ages, Cathcart excellent, Behrami everywhere, Deeney a leader and setting up both goals, Ighalo getting back on the score sheet... ... and Guedioura's goal. What a strike and for such a great guy too. Judging by the celebration he's clearly loved by his team mates, and it obviously meant so much to him after playing a bit part all season. Also, hats off to Quique for picking him, took a big risk and boy did it pay off! COYH!
Unfortunately, he did. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/500877/Arsene-Wenger-discussess-Arsenal-s-loss-to-Watford
The only way for the ball to have gotten from Guedioura's foot to the net that fast is for it to have travelled through a wormhole. Dirty cheating Watford.
