Swansea FA Cup Thread

[VoiceOfReason]

Are we out yet?

[augie]

Just watchin the start of ITV's FA Cup highlights.

The opening clips of some wonderful FA Cup memories.
The great tradition. The FA Cup. Cup Final saturday on the telly (even if the gunners were not in it).
Some fantastic Arsenal performances and some not so good.

Then along comes Wenger and shits all over it.

And to be fair he aint the only one - listening to jeff stelling list the amount of changes all the premier division clubs (including the likes of wigan,norwich and mackems) made for todays games really brings it all home at how unimportant the fa cup really is these days I never mided teams doing it in the league cup but for me the fa cup is different and should be treated better and with more respect so if clubs dont want to put in maximum effort to try and win it then throw them the fcuk out of it

Winners under Wenger

Not many managers can boast four wins
Yes I know we haven't won it since that last date and we have had bigger gaps in final appearances, but whilst we are still in it we can win it

Not too bad no forehead thts a huge plus if i had a complaint its ramsey in for the ox/podalski

I'm joining the we won't lose camp. Swansea will have one eye on the semi, while, as Gooner Ed has tweeted, if we don't have any more cup home games the club might have to refund £6m to ST holders. The profit motive is strong in Lord Wenger.

Can't be accused of not taking it seriously. The decision to not start Chamberlain wasn't a bad one, it's just the fact that Ramsey is the one who comes in that causes the problem. Don't mind Podolski not starting either, to be honest I think Walcott should be able to cause them problems wherever he plays presuming that they try and play an expansive game like down there last year.

FUCK OFF YOU JACK BASTARDS

[Henry Norris 1913]

what a first XI we're putting out

yep, I'm with you Chippy. Swansea will surely have one eye on the league cup and could even rest players today.

Edit: Michu on the bench. Yep, one eye on the league cup.

I suggested on page 1 of this thread that our best chance of winning this game was if laudrup rotated his squad and that is what he has done with five changes so if we don't win this game then these c**ts should be left in swansea cos it would be a disgrace - if I was a betting man then I would have to put money on an away win cos our starting 11 should be far superior

This says it all. Wenger's only bothered putting out a 'strong side' due to the financial motivation. Getting a replay is probably his top priority.

Not sure who's on your commentary, but out here in the States, I've got the pleasure of listening to Stewart Robson for 90 minutes

We have craig burley

Early in the game but Gibbs first touch is a bit off so far.
A lot of sidewards tippy tippy football so far....bit surprising isn't it ?
