The FA Cup Thread 2014-15

I think I've missed something massive here but why are we playing ours at Wembley new and this isn't?

Are you kidding? It is being played at Wembley.

Looks like Federici has cost his team a penalty shoot out. He's made some right clangers today! Possibly at fault for both goals today.

Omg soz, so is Wembley that sh*t looking/sounding these days? I'm not trolling, the atmosphere seemed like what a dodgy championship home ground may be like, mics in the wrong place probably but the coverage has been all on the pitch, not on the stadium. I'm not even trying to make an excuse, this stadium has no soul.

Just got a glimpse of the stadium, lovely actually, my bad.

Very similar to the Emirates.

Thankfully we did not go down that road.

It's like a mega church that got built for the most money allowed and whoever went there lost faith.

It's horrible watching the build up to this final knowing we fu**ed up a great opportunity to be there today.

I should be in a fooking pub now watching the Reds walking out led by Stevie in his last game. Fook sake 

Did they really have to put Murphy on commentary?

Better than Jonathan Pearce.

this is turning into a really good cup final

Better than Jonathan Pearce.

Not exactly something to be proud of though

It's not been a bad game so far. I've been far more impressed with Delph than Benteke, although Benteke does seem to be a lot more mobile than any of our fit strikers though.

Good game, great goal, who says the FA Cup is second rate?

Sterling would have skied that.

Hahaha very very true that.

Arsenal thoroughly deserve the lead, probably should be 2 or 3 up now.

What an excellent finish from Walcott.

If I knew Walcott was over his injury problems I'd have him here in a heartbeat.

Charles Insomnia asleep the whole half.

Excellent atmosphere in fairness and a very good performance from Arsenal so far. Delighted to see Walcott score - brilliant player who is actually quite underrated throughout his career.

Having watched the Scottish Cup Final earlier I have to say the paradox in watching the FA Cup Final is almighty in it's evidence. The frantic pace, the frenetic energy in the crowd and the teams. It's English football at it's best and it's wonderfully entertaining. It's like they're on ecstasy in comparison to the stone weights in Hampden.

If I knew Walcott was over his injury problems I'd have him here in a heartbeat.

Me too. I've always liked him, but his injuries are always a concern.

Charles Insomnia

Very good that!

Definitely, said that a year or so ago I think it was and if we end up doing business with Arsenal over Sterling I'd definitely try and get him in on a cut price.

There's strong rumours that he's going to sign a new deal with Arsenal though.

As you say, if he managed to stay fit he'd bang a lot of goals in.

How bad are we that F***ing Aston villa are in final they sh*t
