He should have started with Borini but apart from that it still looked alright to me.

It was the reserves Tob. Players that I hope never put on the stripes again and I mean that. That extends to fletcher as well. Altidore can leave as well.

I agree about Altidore did he even score yet in the league I can't remember.

Once. Fletcher's not much better though. Only Borini is capable of keeping us up with his goals.

Nope. The forum wouldn't be much fun if people didn't make predictions and have strong opinions. It was a huge shock I admit but I was wrong. If I am going to make predictions I have to admit when I am wrong. Will Wigan win the cup. Nope. There is another strong prediction!


In my opinion Wigan are a nothing club with rubbish support and if they can win a cup why the **** can't we.
We would of been in the final if poyet didn't mess up the team selection so much so I'm still hurting today. We better stop up now or it's all for nothing.

Arsenal will win the FA Cup this season.

No Howard Webb for the game against the Mancs some sense from the FA for once.

Yes mate, I do recall the final against Birmingham, and yes, you are right regarding Wigan...they will fight for it with everything they've got no question about it.

Arsenal NEED to end their 9 year wait for a major trophy, and they won't get a better opportunity than they have this season, regarding the FA Cup, and because of that I believe they will be more determined than ever.

[David LFC]

If they don't end their 9 year wait for a trophy Wenger should be sacked.

No I have respect for everything he did at Arsenal and believe we will get silverware with him again.

Any other manager at a big club not winning anything for 9 years would have got the sack in my opinion , Wenger living on past glories.

Damn man, you still sound a little bitter. I can't blame you though.

Well, everyone thought Man City would win it running away last year too, and look how that turned out. As much as I would like Tob to be able to celebrate this one for his team, I'm not quite ready to write Wigan off just yet. Do they have another magical run in them? I guess we'll see in a little while.

There is that chance, Yes, but in all honesty I just don't see Wigan being able to replicate what they did last season.

For me...it's Arsenal's to lose.
