Re: F.A. Cup 2014-15
I've seen a few closet Arse supporters coming out of the closet this morning. They've dusted off their Arse colours, which they've been too embarrassed to wear for a while, and were riding around town this morning.

I seem to remember from previous posts that you are very much anti-Arsenal stemming from the George Graham one-nil to the Arsenal days. If I didn`t know better I would have said your were Spurs fan.Big Boy wrote:A non-contest - I went to bed at half time. Embarrassing for British football.

Re: F.A. Cup 2014-15
I'm going to wear the Gooner´s colours, which I've never been embarassed to wear (when we lost 8-2 vs Manu I wore the Arsenal shirt to work the next day) all day long, although I'm not going anywhere today. Except to the nearest shop to refill my beer stock. Have a beautiful Sunday all good folks and even supporters of other teams.

It was a non contest though.
We were at the top of our game and Villa just weren't able to handle it.

Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

I have 3 footballing allegiances, Plymouth Argyle, England and Hua Hin City, so I'm used to disappointment. The rest, I couldn't care less, although I enjoy watching a good game. Unfortunately, yesterday's match wasn't good unless you were supporting Arsenal, in which case it was bloody marvelous. Enjoy the glory guys

Well BB you got bored when Arsenal were boring, now you`re bored when watching good football. Are you numbed by watching Argyle, England and HH City. Most neutrals (except some Chelsea fans) agree that Arsenal were exceptionally good. You missed a good second half.
Re: F.A. Cup 2014-15
Arsenal were exceptionally good but Villa shaped like a team of herberts !
I watched the whole match and was cringeing as it was so one sided.A Conference side would have put on a better show than Villa.
To challenge for the EPL title next season I reckon Arsenal need to sign a top class keeper.Also,the central defenders are a bit vulnerable against attackers who run at them with pace,a tactic I was surprised Villa didnt use.

Re: F.A. Cup 2014-15
A keeper, maybe, the two we have are growing in stature. What we need for sure is another top class DM, just in case Coq gets injured, we do have sad statistics for injuries, and maybe one top class striker. So 2-3 good signings and we are challenging for the top spot.

With respect, there's no maybe about a keeper. Even winning with ease, there was flapping and both are just not quite up to the standard needed for the very top.Bamboo Grove wrote:A keeper, maybe

Another thing you need is a plan B, although whinger showed signs of that at stages this season by actually being pragmatic. If that's against the mans moral code, then you need to be Barcelona.

Providing we keep the main crop fit forest of the season Bamboo.
I'm a little worries about Alexis, he's off to the Copa America this summer so will return late without much rest.
What a player tho.

My son gave up watching at 3 - 0 also, and prepared some dog food (one dog needs special diet) in the kitchen.arcadianagain wrote:Well BB you got bored when Arsenal were boring, now you`re bored when watching good football.

If an Arsenal fan, it would have been fantastic, and I hope they enjoyed all enjoyed it. However for a game to be good for a neutral, you need 2 teams on the pitch. I don't think Villa turned up.
[Edit] If any of you watched the Wycombe vs Plymouth match recently, it was a similar scenario. Plymouth were abysmal. I enjoyed the game because it was a rare opportunity to watch Plymouth, but for the neutral it must have been equally bad.

Yes, that is a big worry.I'm a little worries about Alexis, he's off to the Copa America this summer so will return late without much rest.
Caller, you look at De Gea at ManU, he was lousy not so many moons ago and now? Then again, I don't mind if an established well aged keeper comes along, both of our present goalies are still young.

Re: F.A. Cup 2014-15
I understand where you're coming from BG, but De Gea was always going to be a class act. But fair enough if you think both your keepers are good enough.
