F.A. Cup 2010-11

[BaaBaa.]

Come on L'Arse.

Finish them!

[caller]

Well, same old, same old Arsenal. By far the better team over 90 minutes, but well beaten in the end. Against Barca the player I thought they really missed was Song. Today, it was the usual problem of no plan B.

If Walcott is out, there is nothing to change the style of play or put fear into defenders. They might still win the league, but with another serious injury to an already weakish defence (Wengers blind spot), I can't see it.

As an aside, how does Scholes finish so many games when he so evidently should be sent off? He's becoming an embarrassment and making a mockery of the officials. He's been such a great player as well.

Just seen that Van Der Sar (Utd keeper) is man of the match - say's it all really.

yep, disappointing to say the least
still, nice to see ramsay back on the pitch & with no midweek games now for 6 weeks, plenty of recovery time
can we still win the league? . . got to get over that mental barrier first & start hitting the net instead of shooting at the keeper

as for scholes, any other player (apart from rooney of course ) would have got a second yellow

I agree with caller's comments but one thing I can't understand. Why does Ferguson always get the upper hand tactically nowadays. He let's us play and then hits with the counter attacks and why, oh why, can't Wenger find another tactic to counter that. Oh, well, there's always next year, although, I still hope and believe we can give a good battle to be the champs of the prem league. But as with so many previous years, the injury list just grows and grows.

On the brighter side, it was good to see Ramsey back, although he didn't do anything spectacular. But I think Wilshere, Ramsey, Nasrie and Walcott will be our future. Why not Fabregas? Because he is getting more and more injury prone.

It just gets brushed off doesn't it, tut tut Scholesy, he can't tackle can he, the lovable rogue.

Scousers but they do put it right.

Police are on the lookout for two missing persons, Denilson and Rosicky. They say they can be approached as they are not in the slightest bit dangerous.

i think both will be on their way in the summer & we can probably add bendtner, squillaci & possibly arshavin to the list as well.

hopefully our boss will finally realise that we do have to buy a few top quality players to back up our emerging talent
his 5 year plan which was widely accepted, is now entering the 6th & the natives are getting restless

[Bamboo Grove]

Happy ending in the semi-final. Eh?

[BaaBaa.]

Happy ending in the semi-final. Eh?

It was for me.

[Bamboo Grove]

for me too, citeh...

[caller]

But what a strange game?

It was initially a stroll for United and it looked like the Citeh players had only met for the 1st time in the car park just before KO.

Then Carrick weaved his magic and it was all Citeh from then on, Scholes finally walked (and the cameras showed the venom within him) and the paucity of Uniteds reserves was exposed.

Was Giggs banned from playing - as well as Rooney?

I don't think it will just be Chelsea rebuilding next year.

So that's Manures treble out the window and IMHO they've got zilch chance of winning europe. But the league is good enough.

[redzonerocker]

Bluuuueee mooooon . . . . . .

[BaaBaa.]

I don't think it will just be Chelsea rebuilding next year.

I'm not having a dig but do you think that is that for that Chelsea side?

I think next season is going to be very interesting.

[BaaBaa.]

Bluuuueee mooooon . . . . . .

A lad I work with, season ticket holder, is on his way home now in a minibus, half red half blue.
