Shower of bindipping arseholes* who got us all banned in the 80s H Fa Cup Sun 7th Jan KO 430pm

[Gunner Rob]

I thought they'd done away with them too but obviously not. It's silly in this day and age not to settle the match on the day. Replays suck ass. fucking putas!!

Really ?

What would you rather watch - a replay at Anfield or some meaningless European group stage game in Bulgaria?
That is what is coming by the way and the season will be all the poorer for it

I was reading recently about the 1980 FA Cup Semi Final (the 1st FA Cup I properly remember)
That SF with Liverpool went to 3 replays, so 4 matches in total. Add into that a league match and we played them 5 times inside a month.

Proper football

In one of the replays (3rd match ?) we scored in the opening minute, through Talbot, I think, then conceded in the 90th minute

Sounds a lot like now.

After the recent results we've had I don't feel much like posting. Not many positive thoughts. I won't mention Avitz - oh I just did - sorry. Still love the 'Cup' don't know why because it's not worth much. Just some great memories. I fear we'll end up drawing & a replay up there. Hope I'm wrong.

You are in good company Ray mate. Many of us older Gooners still love the Cup. Shame the money in the game has devalued it as a trophy. A real shame.

I still love it.

No idea how this one will go , if these players have any professional pride they will realise how much they have let the fans down the last couple weeks and come out firing and get tore into these filth.

Crowd need to be up for it and play their part!

COYG!

yes decider was at coventry....real excitement and played in front of a packed ground

[falkirk goon]

I've not got a good feeling about this today We've been utter shite for a good few weeks now,its not just the last couple of games as a lot of people think.I just hope we can get up for this as i despise these utter *word censored*.

Just heard Jesus is injured (again! ) and could be out for up to 3 - 4 weeks. So we can all look forward to watching Eddie up front. This was going to be a difficult enough game as it was, but at least Jesus is industrious and give's their midfield and defence no rest and unlike Eddie doesn't just saunter around like he's on a stroll through the park with the kids...

If that's true, I think it puts a totally different perspective on things. Much has been made of Salah's absence and there's no doubt that makes them significantly weaker and the bastard always seems to score against us too! In addition to that the mainstays of their new midfield - Endo plus the Hungarian lad Szkjefkhckehfkwehbfkw are both unavailable too. I don't rate them much anyway - especially away from home

However, Eddie is a fucking waste of space. I can only hope that Jesus's injury means they absolutely have to go full tilt over the next week or so to land a proper CF

[Natural Born Gooner]

Jesus injured again? Just get rid, too many injured passengers in this squad.

[OneBardGooner]

Just got a text from someone attending the game who gets early team info that says 'he (Jesus) is facing a last minute fitness check' . But agree if he is injured again that is once too often. Also he is one of Arteta's favourites and so unlike Tierney he won't be shipped out.

[rodders999]

Same sick notes all the time - Tomi, Partey, Jesus, Tierney, ESR and Zinchenko.

Bin the fucking lot of them.

It's like that old TV Hospital Drama: "Emergency Ward 10". Except there's no pretty nurses.
