Hull away FA cup rehearsal

[SPUDMASHER]

I think the mindset in the squad has taken a turn in the last few days. The reality of non qualification for the CL is now a major concern at all levels in the club and I think they'll push on hard now to try and secure that 4th spot. It's just a shame that we need to rely on Everton dropping points.

0-2

That issue about Hull's psychology when they play Everton and affecting us is a non-issue for us, as Everton will drop the 3 or 4 points needed in their home games against Manchester City and United.

I can see us picking up a couple of injuries in this tbh. I'm not saying that Hull will go out to intentionally cripple our players, but I'd imagine a few of them will want to lay down markers for the final and it only takes one of those markers to be a tad OTT and you're fucked...

one of "them" being that utter fat twat *word censored* Huddlestone

This one will be another win. 2-1 or 1-0. We may bottle the final, but not the 4th place trophy.

[officepest]

I can't see us losing this. Wenger will whip the squad into pentecostal fervour at the thought of missing out on the virtual trophy.

Straightforward win for the Arsenal.

Lee probert will be the ref for the fa cup final

[Lee1]

Much as I detest that troll Pulis, let's hope he manages to pull a surprise or even a point tonight. Can't believe I'll be cheering on a team managed by that c@@@ - desperate times and how the once mighty fall.

[MutleyGooner]

We'll spank them

[OneBardGooner]

Palace& Pulis have done us a huge favour, so we need to use that result and ensure we beat Hull.

If all goes well we could clinch the 4th place trophy at the Emirates (for a change) next Monday night.

Wouldn't be the same, 4th place trophies are to be won on the last day, preferably away . To win it early could actually lead to temptation to go for third place thus denying the Club revenue from the qualifier round.

[topcat]

something about this is really annoying me. if we win I'll be more worried that for some reason hull will come out stronger in the final with a more daring and attacking attitude and if we lose I'll worry about the psychological problems we'll have facing them at wembley.

going for a 2-2 draw

exactly...we beat Birmingham 3-0 away on new years day 2011 then went and lost to them in the cup final.

[spendsum4uckingmoney]

We'll finish 4th. It's what we we do- its the Arsenal FC trophy.

Hopefully for the FA cup final we will have players back from injury and in good form. The LC final we missed RVP and Fabregas.

[BFG4]

Really don't want to see Ramsey or Ozil involved in this game. Both of them in the same team will give us a huge chance of winning the final, especially if they can link up in the way they did earlier in the season, but have a feeling one, or both will be kicked off the pitch on Sunday, especially as they are only back from injury.
