FA Cup 2009 Thread

Lots of big claims you have there.
How do you have more talented youngsters? Can you explain to me how you have young players better than Nasri, Fabregas, Walcott, Traore, Song, Djourou, Gibbs, Wilshere, Ramsey?
Arsenal being a "feeder club" is a myth. The only time Arsenal sold a player who hadn't performed at his best for Arsenal and didn't go downhill after that was Flamini and Henry.
Flamini is not playing for Milan and made a mistake of leaving (as was Wenger's mistake for not fighting hard for him), Henry hasn't hit the form he had for Arsenal and is obviously over the hill.
Don't forget the times we have sold players and they went downhill: Hleb, Overmars, Ljungberg, Viera (could have had one more season in him), Anelka (you can testify to that, and even if he is hitting good form for Bolton Chelsea, we made over 20 mil for him and got Henry to replace him).
Arsenal has plenty of history and trophies to show for, and this short slump will not last long so go pick on your billionaire buddies in the team with less history, Chelsea.

and thats just off the top of my head. all these are talents but some of them were wasted and would have been superstars like raul and casillas today if they were focused on as much as youngsters are focused on in arsenal.

dont deny that wenger is a businessman and arsenals management suck too because they just care about profit. those players suck when hey leave but why do they leave? because they know arsenal will win eff all.

Yeah, Henry was tired of not getting trophies. I agree. THREE FA CUPS AND TWO PREMIER LEAGUES. Do you not remember the Untouchables?

Is that why Robinho left Real? Because he didn't think he'd get trophies? NO it's because some players simply need to either Move on or Make more money.

I fking LOVE Darren Gibson.

I cant see the game. But by the looks of it not, really interested either. I would not shed a tear if we lost, because the fixture congestion is killing us

I feel the same, Fabio started and from the looks like it got hurt again.

Its at half time of extra time, looking like PKs, and I dont know how United can do with that seeing the squad.

I wont be sad if we lose

We have won the FA Cup the most anyway, so there is nothing else to prove...plus the FA Cup final will be like 2-3 days after the CL final

Its alright.

I wish Everton the best. David Moyes has done a wonderful job with his team all these years and has managed to make them challenge for european spots with little or no real resources.

I want Everton to win the FA Cup

[elnino99]

for the first time i supported Everton and they did the job
scouse proud

[Suprah]

bye bye quintuple

too much of an ask for ANY team to win all competitions it takes part in.

We have already won Carling Cup and FIFA Club World Cup anyway.

Now we can forget about the FA Cup and just concentrate on more important matters: the league and europe.
