FA Cup

We're a Cup Team don't forget.
Arsenal v Blackburn Rovers - could be something from the '60's.
Despite the fact we'll be resting a few players I seriously believe we'll have enough to claim the win at The Grove tomorrow. The likes of The Ox, Gervinho and Rosicky have something to prove so I see this as a relatively comfortable win although that cnut Bentley will no doubt be wheeled out in the hope that a Tottingham loanee can make a difference against the club that brought him up, taught him all he knows about football but could not overcome a cnutish character.
Come on Arsenal, a touch of class should do the job!

Yes. Please!!!

Oopsie..... another year no silverware..... or does coming in the top four now count as silverware???

A Kit Kat wrapper counts as silverware these days.

Wengers post match comments seem to be full of denial.....

===========

"We have just lost a game today and we don't need to think too much about the eight season [drought], the players who played today didn't play eight seasons ago and we must focus on the next game."

On the booing at the end of the game, Wenger added: "What do you expect, people to applaud when you lose a game like that? It's absolutely normal."

Winning the CL will never make up for losing to Bradford in the League Cup and Blackburn in the FA Cup!
Finishing in the Top Four is certainly not a trophy but would show our high(ish)-level consistency season by season - more than can be said for a lot of clubs.
Pretty damned miserable to go out of the cup like that though. I thought we'd regained our ability to score whilst not conceding - a "Cup Team" - but that seems to not yet be the case.
Still, a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks - Bayern Munich to start with on Tuesday. We've got a point to prove and today's result makes it even more clear that there is no room for error - we win all our remaining matches!
