That's what I am saying - just to clarify, because some are twisting my words into something that I never said.......I would rest players and play back up players with the fa cup final in mind. I never said that I would rest any player so that we can win another bollox virtual trophy. Finishing second means fcuk all to me either when in comparison to winning the fa cup. I get that we are on a winning run BUT if le cock is intent on playing Chesney (for example) in the cup final, then he sure as hell better get some game time cos playing a rusty Chesney against the dippers terrifies me

Generally we make life tough for ourselves, but we did comfortably beat a Middleborough team in an earlier round, who are top of the championship, while Reading sit 19th, so we should win this easily. im going 3-1, with their goal from a Szczesney fuck up.

Look at that team again; there is more than enough quality to do Reading. Don't see the problem.

Yes but why not play your best 11 anyway, this is all we have to play for.

I agree it's our only trophy this year, but that team should demolish Reading 99 times out of 100.

But why create the 'chance of a problem' (ie: chesney & gibbs (both accidents waiiing to happen) and Debuchy's first game back in the first team in an actual FA CUP SEMI-FINAL!!!! (a totally unnecessary choice as we have no injuries or burn out) - Yet again wenger demonstrating his arrogance and foolishness to the nth degree.

Also, why take chances? - If we win - which we should do being the better/bigger team - the media and all the Arsenal knockers will say - yeah so what they should have won it was only Reading...


If we lose they will be slagging us off as well. Steve Clarke is no fool and 'Does Tactics' very well........


Regardless of recent good run Wenger remains a cuntt that we need GONE!


I just hope the rest of the team are up for it and and their game.

I think you know me (virtually) well enough to know that I'm not the biggest Wenger fan in the World, and I would happily kick him in the bollocks for his many pathetic capitulations and thrown games he has overseen.

Today though, I really don't have any problems with his selection (I perhaps would have had Wally in, but that's by the by) as Reading are toilet.

We just have to be switched on at set-pieces and not go chasing the game like escaped mental patients and we will be in the final.

Of course, if we lose, then I am going to look like a bigger *word censored* than usual.
