Can second string Arsenal make the final leap? (23 Jan)

[gooner.ed]

usual thread starter. are our reserves good enough to beat spuds' first team over two legs?

[Gooneroonie]

Yes, I think so.

Although we can always bring on a couple of big guns to make sure at The Grove if necessary

ed, i see your glass is never half full!!

[gooner.ed]

attempting not to curse the boys by stating any belief in them... the old reverse psychology!

[goonermc]

ed, i've got more P-M-T for this spud game than i've had for a long while. I think it's the fact that we're going with, what is, basically a reserve side at the end of the day. It's just the thought of those bitter and twisted c###s beating us. We all know we can argue 'till we're (RED) in the face about it being our reserves but those f###ing pr##ks won't listen. PLEASE Arsenal, for my sanity and every other gooner out there, let's beat this bunch of SH#T. THE ARSENAL, THE ARSENAL, THE ARSENAL. C'MON U GUNNERS.!!!!!!!!!!! and to all you gooners going to shite hart lane to fly the flag, be loud and be proud........................

Totally agree with you goonermc. I have lots of faith in our 2nd team , but i also remember going to Highbury a few years back in the same cup against Chelsea(1st team) & losing 5 nil with Arsene saying a result like that can damage the youngsters.
For sp*rs this is a massive game & they will be going all out, this is no Liverpool 2nd team we will be facing. I'm going tonight & i'm trying to look at all the positives & i'm praying we can give them a game & still be in the tie at the end of 90 minutes,please we do not want to be embarassed i really hope & trust Arsene knows!

Oh ye of little faith, Mr Ed! I think the clearly-heard-on-TV chant "Two nil and you f***** it up" said it all. Priceless.
