Do I think we'll beat City to advance to the final? Nope. But that doesn't mean stranger things haven't happened in one-offs.

Hard draw, was hoping for Chelsea out of all of them. Do Man City still have the CL to go for? (I think they do) That might get in the way somewhat. As said, not sure when the season starts/ends/restarts. Apparently cricket starts in August, so we'll probably have the County Championship decided on Bonfire Night with the FA Cup 3rd round in March and the FA wondering why the England team are totally shagged out when the Euros start.

The second leg against Madrid is either August 7 or 8.

I was shitting my pants when we went two down to Hull! :arse flag.gif:

Dude I didn't watch it live, I was out and about and my cousin texted me to say we were 2-0 down. I thought he was genuinely taking the piss, that was the last straw for me - my Wenger dislike shot through the roof.

I was equally shocked when I found out we won the game !!! What a bloody rollercoaster.

We had this legend who'd won it 6 times then. We had Alexis, Monreal, Ozil, Ramsey, and Mertesacker.

We have Arteta, Luiz, Nketiah, and Willock now.

Mate that was only 3 years ago. 3 years ago half the fans thought Monreal was shit, half the fans thought Ramsey was shit and Mertesacker was way past his prime too. In fact, we have a better team/squad now than we did in 2017, just take a look at our starting 11 for the final:

Arsenal
David Ospina
Rob Holding
Per Mertesacker (c)
Nacho Monreal
Héctor Bellerín
Aaron Ramsey
Granit Xhaka
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Mesut Özil
Danny Welbeck
Alexis Sánchez

That team gets slapped up all day by our current team.

We have a better squad today when everyone is fit.

We don't have better individual players than Alexis, Ozil, and Monreal, nor do we have a game-changer like Ramsey. There's a vast difference in having Alexis and Ozil at their best alongside the greatest FA Cup manager of all time. Even Per, despite being past his prime, didn't lose his intelligence. It's like Oz today. He may not be the same Ozil, but he's still way ahead of all the clowns we have in midfield.

That side had belief. It was a top-4 side. We finished with 75 points that season, which is a record points tally for not getting into the UCL. And, we had Wenger.

We still blew away sides, played good football.

We've regressed on every front since. Awful brand of football, clueless Emeryball for 18 months, a rookie manager who's taken over at the worst possible time; mismanagement at the top level, and a football team that does not care about Arsenal's heritage.

We've gone from Wengerball to Cluelessball to Inshallahball since.

I have faith in St. Mikel of Arteta. But this season has been a disaster. And I can't see Mikel beating City.

I predicted both results correctly back then. I was confident we'd beat City. This time, we have nothing working in our favor.

I dearly hope I'm wrong but when the claim to glory for both full-time coaches since Wenger has been the benching/exclusion of Ozil, it doesn't inspire you, does it? In the short term, in Arteta's case, it doesn't.

But next season, I have enough faith in Arteta to turn things around. Not today, Mr Potter.

We will be fired up because of the loss a few weeks ago. City will "feel the rage the same way the sluts with the big butts felt it - I'm not a dealer but I dealt it !" Copyright Masta Ace - Ace Iz Wild 1990.
