Fa cup replay

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.

The Dog & Duck versus The Nags Head would be a better match than this tripe :roll: How the fcuk did we lose to Blackburn ? :oops: :oops:
ESPN mentioned at the start that Blackburn haven't scored an away goal since their winner at the Emirates - over 6 hours of football and counting...

Blackburn have tried out 3 managers, all of whom are shite, have a collection of ragbag journeymen, lost at home to Peterborough who will be in League One next year and have no chance of promotion any time soon.

But even they can defend Giroud and Gervinho easily

€25m spent on those two by Lord Cockface and nobody on the board pointed a gun to his head and demand he sign them

Cech at fault for both manure goals imo - I know he made a great save from sideshow bob after that but his positioning and command of the area was shocking for both goals :roll: This game is cack - Cahill, who many claimed we should buy, couldn't even pass the ball 10yds to his full back without kicking it out for a throw in :roll: Victor Moses is a championship level player at best. Demba ba has been impressive though 8)

FFS we would have got Millwall in the quarters and Wigan in the semi-final at Wembley :roll:

Really glad we rested all those players against Blackburn for the drubbing we got from Bayern :banghead: :banghead:

That draw makes 4th/5th/6th an interesting race now as Wigan/Blackburn/Millwall will now get into Europe.

Still think we'll finish 6th so isn't it nice we are doing well in the fair play league to get into Europe. We can start our season in June against Sligo Rovers or Grozny Fc ....can't wait. :twisted:

Thats one of my two reasons for wanting wigan to get to fa cup final - (1) is that I like martinez as a manager but (2) and this is more important to me, wigan getting to the final will reduce the amount of league places for the europa league so anything lower than 5th would see us out of europe altogether next season :barscarf:

Augie, nothing to do with Wigan. The FA Cup runner up will take a Europa League place. Prem will only get Europa for 5th place now.

Please don't let the club be spared the humiliation of playing in the Europa League because its our perfect destiny. A cup for losers, teams that finished as low as 7th in the major leagues played in front of half empty stadia on a night that didn't exist for football until this shabby competition came into being.

I can not wait to see Gazidis's face when 30,000 people are watching our kids play against the Bulgarian runners up in the pissing rain. Wonder how many corporate packages will be sold for that?

The club deserves everything that comes its way if we finish 5th - humiliation, big drop in revenues and some backlash from ST holders not to mention a dwindling of the waiting list. Fucking good job - this management structure has made many of our lives a fucking misery and I hope they feel every fucking penny of it next season

Chippy I know that but if it was an all manc final then 6th place would get europa as the manc teams would be in champs league and I don't want europa league. The reason why I am cheering for Wigan above Blackburn or millwall is that I like Martinez as a manager. Simples 8)

This is another competition thrown away. We should have won the League Cup and we should be saying we are probably going to get into the final of the FA Cup
