Tbh winning is probably better as they be celebrating tonight and totally wear themselves out plus there focus is on the FA cup and who cares, we win 5 and it's ours no matter.
Awful pens by Wigan

 

[potato]

good stuff, keeps arsenal distracted and tired

 

[bluelife]

I think they'd really have struggled if it was away at West Ham, but at home I can see Arsenal winning it comfortably

 

[Librarian]

Hardly morale boosting stuff for Arsenal
AND
They will have to rest players for the final

 

[Brennan]

Not really. They had to play 120 mins 3 days before their next game vs west ham. Think they'll struggle on Tuesday.

I said bad result, nothing about the length of the match.

It will give them a huge morale boost.

 

[chicoazul]

I've not seen anyone get so excited on a line like that since 1996.

Can someone ask Scott Carson who his dealer is please? Must be pure flake.

The final is after the season finishes...

 

[Wat Tyler]

Hull may take points off them

 

[blue4eva77]

That's a bad result for us.

No chance....... They were clear favourites to get through anyway. No way does scraping through on pens against Wigan give them a huge confidence booster for the remainder of the season, no chance. Tired legs, tired mentality, this was perfect for us in my opinion.

Not only that but had they gone out tonight, all the focus is on grabbing 4th at the very least. Now they have the chance to win their first trophy for how many years. Big distraction i reckon

As i've said, the final is after the league finishes.

If you don't think that being in the final of the FA Cup isn't a massive boost then fair enough, i think most football managers who understand the importance of mentality would disagree with you big time.

Arsenals run in is amazingly easy, their toughest game will probably be Tuesday vs West Ham, the rest are a walk in the park.

True. Gives them a consolation if 4th doesn't work out for them.

 

[toffee matt]

Are people seriously saying this is a bad result for arsenal, getting to the cup final and having the Chance to end a trophy drought is the biggest game of the season.


I'd love to be in the fa cup final

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Gutted for Wigan but we should not fear Arsenal. We battered them last week and they just drew at a near home crowd capacity against lower league. They look poor and should drop points between now and the end.

Newcastle won't be a pushover when Remy is back.
