As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Watford win
Wally & Giroud rest whether they play or not.If I miss the pre start line up it normally takes me about 20 minutes to figure out if Walcott is on the field or not.
Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo Vs Mert and Calamity Chambers, I understand Clueless has already said Kos is "little bit short for Sunday".
I think I shall stay at home and watch it from on/behind the couch.
By then we will also be in our expected league position, as per my Wenger stamp avatar ⇦.
I allready sold my tickets no matter who we played !
I have a painful memeory of Watford in the Cup at home in the 6th round ,some guy called John Barnes scored the 3rd whilst we were appealing for somehting up the other end at 1-2 !
I have a ticket for this,North Bank Lower. Is the banner going to be "deployed" again? If so,If Iam anywhere near I will try and get to you to show my support for what you are trying to do.
What is depressing about this cup run is it has legitimately given Wenger reprieve in the view of some fans. "How can you want the manager gone when we are chasing a historic 3rd cup in a row!". Since when did wins against Hull, Sunderland and Burnley somehow justify the manager's position and record?

The last three to mean anything like what it used to mean were Arsenal vs Utd in 2005 (the penalty shootout), Liverpool vs West Ham 2006 (the Gerrard goal), and then, possibly, Chelsea vs Man Utd (merely by virtue of being two big teams) which was the first at the new Wembley.
Since then the big clubs of the day have largely ceased to take it very seriously. It's now just a single notch now above the League Cup in importance, no more. It lost it's "event" status a while ago.
Generally yes, but West Am, Man Utd, Chelsea and Everton are all desperate to win it now - the last two in particular as one of their seasons will be over after Saturday.
Is there any news of that mask of wiggy?...If people are going to go may as well wear one and get the camera's on the crowd rather than on the pitch where we will struggle against the mighty watford.
If we do by some miracle manage a win - Iwobi and Campbell will demostrate why they not feo & lampost should be our new striking partnership
so either 2- 1
or
3 -1
or 4 - 2 with Iwobi and Campbell becoming 48 hour legends.

I would suggest it has for the past 8 seasons mate.
