you having a laugh best we were hoping for was 1-1 and stop saying we were underdogs at half time we looked most likely and came out 2nd half poor we had that one chance and once they scored it was game over. i was confident when we played them in league we could get back in it but today we never had a chance

I don't think we looked more likely at half time. They were still the better team even though we were not out of it. The 3rd killed us dead and I still stand by us being underdogs simply because Arsenal have more quality therefore are the better team than us. We have closed the gap a bit but time and cash is needed to close it completely

The Osman sub was a crime against football

Just like when we were league Champions and ECWC holders and beaten Man Utd 5-0 in the league and 2-1 in the League Cup and still lost the cup to them. Just like when we beat West Brom 6-2 away from home in 1968 just a month or so before they beat us in the cup final. Just like in 1893 when we beat Wolves away from home 4-2 with basically a reserve side yet got beat 1-0 1 week later by Wolves in the FA Cup final.

Sorry about that but you can see that sh1t happens

yeh like when we lost against wigan last season, why does [Poor language removed] happening always seems to be against us

 

[cjohno]

and all this nonesense about not having the players in the final 3rd. we got 2 of the best attacking fullbacks in the league, mirallas pienaar and one of best forwards weve had for years along with players like duelofeu, barkley osman etc and we cant create fk all, thats not down to the players at all

 

[Toffeelover]

As I stated in my earlier post the pen was the turning point but allied to that were the poor subbing.

However up to that I was pleased with our football.

That was a pathetic defensive performance. Lukaku may have gotten the tap in but Arsenal walked the ball into the net. Too many times players were just allowed walk right into our half without a challenge. Arsenal's goals were not because of their skill but our lack of.

 

[cjohno]

whatever we say seasons ended to a lame uninsipred 2nd half performance, oh well

we looked a bag of nerves at the back and most of that was down to joel in goal the defenders never trusted him. we really missed jags and howard today, stones did we all times and cant blame him. but we lacked leadership at times

Realistically, we have just as much a chance of winning this as drawing it or losing it.

I want the win. I always want the win. Your attitude reeks of Moyes era negativity. We are going in to this game to win and nothing else. Making all these plans of "oh if we draw 2-2 here and then win the replay at home in the second half of the match we'll be in the semi-final and then if we finish 6th we'll get Europa if City win the cup" is not the way forward.

Would you take a draw now then?

Wish we would get al snidey and nasty, and kick butt, We are too nice, kicking the ball out of play for cheats, everyone likes us at present which is a bad sign.

This! Wish someone would take up moaning nasty,snidely, referee haranguing duties, no point in criticiseing it , it's now part of the game .Ive lost count the amount of penalty appeals we've had this season and the players havnt screamed blue murder. Anyone wonder why we hardly get any ? We make it easy for refs I'm afraid, ok ya won't change his mind on this one but the next ?

 

[DanEFC92]

Had a face on me since FT.

Christ, I hate football.

 

[Jags..class]

Still gutted, hate football sometimes. Its seem that we will never win again due to being skint. Hate the way football has evolved.

 

[Minimeister]

You can't afford to miss chances like Ross and Pienaar did. Not seen them again but Pienaar looked like he bottled his. They both go in we don't lose. Again comes down to whether it's a lack of quality or lack of bottle.

I've been a big fan of Pienaar but I'm hoping now Roberto moves him and Ossie out the midfield for next season and plays out and out threats on the wings.

I thought Seamus should of had a penalty but not seen or heard it mentioned since so I must be in the minority of one.
