[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I've got a ticket going for that game if anyone wants it, I am working on Sunday so can't go.


Any takers send me a private message

[rodders]

I confidently expect us to cock this one up in the fashion we have come to expect over the past few years. I also expect Alexis Sanchez to make vibes about shipping out at the end of the season as he begins to realise we will win nothing under the current regime.

[Letters]

we will win nothing under the current regime.

If only we had last season's regime

[rodders]

That was the same regime as I am sure you know

[Letters]

I did know that :d

[rodders]

Pleased to here it

[Niall_Quinn]

Guess this will go to extra time and we'll pick up a few injuries. Lucky dip in terms of the score. Maybe we'll turn up, maybe we won't. Whatever else we'll make it really hard for ourselves.

Any takers send me a private message

:tumbleweed:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

:tumbleweed:

Yeah tell me about it

[adzzzbatch]

Yeah tell me about it

Good luck with that one! :d

Wouldn't be surprised if there had been a shed load on Ticket Exchange.

[Ralpheroo72]

1-2

[Injury Time]

Good luck with that one! :d

Wouldn't be surprised if there had been a shed load on Ticket Exchange.

Would need to sold out first :tumbleweed:

They are going to be up for it after chucking the final, we'll come out at full shrew aggression and give them a headstart and not really bother to chase 1-2 (ours will be an OG).

So we sold Theo Theo Theo Bencho yet?

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Any team news?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yeah, we're shit.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Going to watch Dumb and Dumber To when this is on.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

What i imagine it will be

Ospina, Bellerin, Chambers, Koscileny, Monreal, Flamini, Coquelin, Campbell, Cazorla, Walcott

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Going to watch Dumb and Dumber To when this is on.

How appropriate

[Niall_Quinn]

Going to watch Dumb and Dumber To when this is on.

Nowhere near as dumb or funny as our defence. You're settling for a cheap Hollywood imitation.

[Niall_Quinn]

What i imagine it will be

Ospina, Bellerin, Chambers, Koscileny, Monreal, Flamini, Coquelin, Campbell, Cazorla, Walcott

Cazorla will have to be at the top of his game to make that line up work. Hull won't be shy kicking him to bits and the ref won't be shy letting them.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Nowhere near as dumb or funny as our defence. You're settling for a cheap Hollywood imitation.

As funny as Mertesacker having "Jump" by Van Halen as his ring tone?

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Cazorla will have to be at the top of his game to make that line up work. Hull won't be shy kicking him to bits and the ref won't be shy letting them.

Might have also helped if i'd put 11 men out, probably not though

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Yeah, we're shit.

I said news not knowledge ;)

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Going to watch Dumb and Dumber To when this is on.

Good plan.....you can flick channels and it would be like watching the same thing......

[adzzzbatch]

Make no mistake that hull will be well and truly up for the game today they will see it as their chance for payback for May.

Will we actually turn up for this game today? Will wenger get of his arse if things aren't going our way?

[Master Splinter]

I think Hull will get battered.

If we turn up from the kick-off.

Replay otherwise.

[Letters]

Pretty confident today, strangely.

[Master Splinter]

Furrin managers don't care about the Cup.

[Niall_Quinn]

Any streams?

[Edinburgh Gooner]

Any streams?

Try VIP sports box but its live on bbc

[Niall_Quinn]

but its live on bbc

Might try that :doh:

[Marc Overmars]

Completely forgot BBC had the FA Cup back.

[adzzzbatch]

Might try that :doh:

You'll be able to watch our shitness in HD.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BBC's programme is on in a couple of minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You read that link, Motty.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Henry. :lol:

Get in the studio Lineker FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shearer and Bullard in the studio.

:doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

We're well represented in the studio, a spud, an ex-Hull player and a Shearer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal good going forward, vulnerable at the back. :o

[adzzzbatch]

I'd forgotten about that game in 2008 <_<

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fistive Fixtures? :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

The ball is a bit gay.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Campbell should have scored!

[adzzzbatch]

FFS!

[AFC Leveller]

wow good move great save

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Horrible control from Theo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

On comes the coat. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wenger still can't work out his zips.

:haha:

[adzzzbatch]

commentators taking the piss out of arsene and his zip :lol:

[adzzzbatch]

coq should've been booked for that :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Ospina.

[adzzzbatch]

mertesacker :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Unlucky Alexis.

[adzzzbatch]

alexis chip :doh:

[adzzzbatch]

well done wenger you did your zip up :lol:

[adzzzbatch]

ince should've scored

monreal :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just let Ince shoot.

[adzzzbatch]

monreal now gives away a fk the dick.

[adzzzbatch]

Campbell gives it away :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good interception Bellerin.

[adzzzbatch]

our defence :lol:

[adzzzbatch]

YYYYYYYYYYAYY!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

MERTESACKER!!!!!

[AFC Leveller]

1-0 merts

[adzzzbatch]

keown sounds thrilled...

[Niall_Quinn]

Nice simple goal from a set piece.

[adzzzbatch]

Ooooooooooooooooooooo

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has that been kept out to deny Alexis?!

[adzzzbatch]

oooooooooooooooooooooooo

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nearly an own goal! :haha:

When did we become a threat on corners?

[Niall_Quinn]

Don't think I've ever heard a player get slagged off so much for scoring.

Alexis should have made it 2-0 there as well.

[adzzzbatch]

Not the game the bbc wanted so far.

[AFC Leveller]

Rosicky gives our play pace and directness, we look dangerous when hes on the ball

[adzzzbatch]

ooooooooooooooooooooo

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great play, Theo can't Henry it in.

[Niall_Quinn]

This should be over by now. Pretty poor effort by Theo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How did that end up on target? :haha:

Ospina saves.

[adzzzbatch]

free header for the hull player :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lukaku should be doing better says Keown. :blink:

[AFC Leveller]

Skrtle moment again there by our defense.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bellerin is a bit of a liability defensively.

[A Gunner]

I don't think Cezc would have saved that, his reaction has sucked big time this season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Campbell loses his mind.

[adzzzbatch]

wtf was that campbell

[adzzzbatch]

well yes martin you do have to give him credit for scoring :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Campbell comber, headed behind for a corner.

[adzzzbatch]

Awful corner

[adzzzbatch]

Fuck off ref!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hull content to firmly park the bus.

[adzzzbatch]

bellerin :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McShane booked.

Scrote.

Another player kicking our players in the chest/stomach.

[adzzzbatch]

Fucking awful fk

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal 1-0 Hull, HT.

Should have been more but we'll never give a team a good pumping ever again.

[AFC Leveller]

Mcshane roundhouses Montreal, gets a yellow.

proper scrote.

[adzzzbatch]

I'm not gonna bother listening to the studio saying why mertesacker shouldn't have been allowed to score.

[Marc Overmars]

Enjoyed that, complete control but we should be further ahead.

More of the same please.

[Niall_Quinn]

Not a bad half but should certainly have scored a couple more.

Surprisingly good performance by the match officials. They let the game flow and applied the rules evenly to both teams. A very novel approach to reffing a match, I like it.

Some decent passing from us today. In truth though, we aren't up against much. Hull really poor.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Nowhere near as dumb or funny as our defence. You're settling for a cheap Hollywood imitation.

Slept in, so didn't make it to the film. Seriously fuckin jetlagged - how has the match been?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

WTF does Bullard look like :lol:

Trying to summon the spirit of Stringfellow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bullard looks like the morning of New Year's Day.

[Niall_Quinn]

Slept in, so didn't make it to the film. Seriously fuckin jetlagged - how has the match been?

Watchable. Not a barn burner, nice little wood burning stove with decorative hearth I'd say.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sorry Vinnie, you were a pub team.

[AFC Leveller]

We just dont spank teams anymore. we used to hand out 5/6 goal beatings every season but now we do the minimum it seems.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Xhaka Can’t]

A lot of empty seats.

Attendance must be down to 59,347.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis goes out wide, shoots but bit of a scuffer and Harper gets to it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Our finishing today. poor.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis. :doh:

[adzzzbatch]

pearce wanting every Arsenal player booked :lol: :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosicky went for it on his own. :lol:

[adzzzbatch]

ref starting to help hell out a bit.

[fakeyank]

Rosicky is such an electric player. If he can stay fit, he is exactly the type of player we need- someone who will play the forward instead of back!

[Xhaka Can’t]

ref starting to help hell out a bit.

I've been to Hull and I reckon you've pretty much nailed it.

[adzzzbatch]

lacking sharpness :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brady. :haha:

[adzzzbatch]

I've been to Hull and I reckon you've pretty much nailed it.

Best thing about the place is the bridge leaving it :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lukaku giving it away, Bellerin could not control it though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hull are dictating the tempo apparently.

:sleep:

[adzzzbatch]

we've put the handbrake on.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Sitting back and defending a 1-0 lead for 45 minutes should work out just fine.

[adzzzbatch]

alexis :doh:

[adzzzbatch]

fuck off ref

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible freekick from Brady, even though Pearce tried to make it sound dangerous.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Steve Bruce looks older than Fergie.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Looks like we've had HT all you can eat pizzas.

[Niall_Quinn]

Walcott has just about had it. He should be subbed now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Piss poor from Campbell.

[adzzzbatch]

Campbell :haha:

[GP]

Campbell isn't very good

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lukaku off, Elmohamady on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Hmmm. Our finishing is a bit worse than poor now. Really should be 4 or 5. Hope we don't pay for it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Looking edgy and uncomfortable says Pearce. He is really trying to talk Hull up.

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo offering nothing, he's out of gas. Why doesn't Wenger sub him?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If we do score a second, I am sure we will hear "you can feel the relief in the stadium".

[Xhaka Can’t]

"Wenger may be thinking of making a change". :haha:

He thought about them on Friday afternoon.

[Marc Overmars]

We're back now, after that first half blip.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo. :haha:

OMG.

[Marc Overmars]

Theo. :doh:

Rusty as fuck.

[fakeyank]

What kind of shit finish was that?!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sagbo off, Hernandez on.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Yay, walcotts destroyed.

[Niall_Quinn]

Jesus - how bad can we make the finishing today? We're at appalling now and getting worse by the chance.

[adzzzbatch]

Walcott has never really had composure in front of goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

Does Wenger still remember Theo has been out for a year and this is his first full game back? If not, somebody needs to remind him.

[adzzzbatch]

pearce now urging his team on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo Sanogo.

[Maestro]

wenger conspiring to lose us the game, burn sanchez out and get theo recrocked

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger is such a hopeless manager now. He can't even make the routine decisions.

[KSE Comedy Club]

What time are we taking the self imposed handbrake off?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG knew what he was doing. :unsure:

[adzzzbatch]

any subs today?

[adzzzbatch]

bellerin :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo couldn't control it. Good run though.

[adzzzbatch]

no pearce that is a different clock, the new one is bigger. the old one Is outside the ground.

[adzzzbatch]

alexis :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis with the pub touch. :doh:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Even Sanchez has caught whatever it is.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Poor old Theo.

Lacking match fitness through lack of any playing time the lay few weeks whatso ever :sulk:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Wenger is such a hopeless manager now. He can't even make the routine decisions.

He made them days ago.

[adzzzbatch]

ref cheating :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis booked.

Theo off, Ox on.

[Marc Overmars]

This ref. :lol:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Fuck off ref.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bizarre booking.

Ox for Theo finally. Should have been done 15 mins ago. Must be a computer glitch.

[Marc Overmars]

Campbell has been more effective in our own half doing defensive work.

[adzzzbatch]

should try and sell Campbell in the summer.

[Maestro]

get sanchez off for akpom pom pom

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ox. :wacko:

[adzzzbatch]

great clearance from ox :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hernandez. :haha:

[GP]

A million ways to miss in the west

[Niall_Quinn]

Wow, how many ways can we find to miss?

[Niall_Quinn]

Campbell has been decent. Apart from his finishing (like the rest of them).

[adzzzbatch]

YYYYYYYYYYAYYYYYYYYYYY!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ALEXIS!!!!!!

:bow:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Wow, how many ways can we find to miss?

Divide the amount of chances we've had by 1 then subtract 1.

edit: subtract 2

[A Gunner]

2 - 0 Alexis

[Marc Overmars]

About time

Alexis :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Nicely finished. Deserved it after another box to box performance.

[adzzzbatch]

pearce still clinging on to some hope that hull can get back in it.

[fakeyank]

Take Sanchez off now!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis hauled off brutally by WUMger, Akpom on.

[Maestro]

now fuckin' take him off ffs

[adzzzbatch]

dirty cunt davis

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Davies booked.

[adzzzbatch]

ox :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coquelin is a full-on thug.

:bow:

[adzzzbatch]

fuck off coq

[Marc Overmars]

Coq with a dropkick

[GP]

What a Coq

[Niall_Quinn]

Ridiculous challenge by Coquelin. Lucky it wasn't a red.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Coq is fuckin lucky, what a complete twat!

[adzzzbatch]

chamberlain out for 6 months....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good effort from Ince.

[adzzzbatch]

Campbell is shite.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Campbell off, Maitland-Niles on.

[adzzzbatch]

we'll get chelski away in the 4th round.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal 2-0 Hull, FT. :bow:

Pearce quick to point out this was a weakened Hull City. :sleep:

[Marc Overmars]

Easy win. On we go.

[GP]

Pearce sounds gutted.

Silly fat wanker.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pretty easy win against a pretty unambitious opponent.

[adzzzbatch]

Pretty easy win against a pretty unambitious opponent.

They were understrength pearce will have you know.

[Xhaka Can’t]

A lot of empty seats.

Attendance must be down to 59,347.
