The sad thing is, yes we are expected to win (fingers crossed) but with this clown of a manager and a team that lacks motivation we don't know what team will turn up and we don't know what team he will pick. I don't think we should underestimate this team, some people think it will be a walkover I don't Emery is not stupid he will defend what he has. It will be an interesting waiting game that's for sure, there sure will be one major meltdown if we lose you can bank on that lol

Should've sacked Arteta and got Tuchel long before Chelsea became an option

I would expect there to be a wave of 'Arteta out' for sure and the usual spitting of the dummy out at people who expect us to win easily.

watching chelsea's success year after year, winning trophy after trophy, its frustrating.

we were supposed to be that club when we moved to the emirates. sold a dream but turned into a shower of shite.

'Arteta out' will ring out, but that will only be louder than it is now, it's simmering in the background anyway. Does anyone really 100% think we will win this? If we win, great, if we lose, meh.

Arteta should've been sacked at Christmas ! If they didn't sack him then you wonder what it would take for them to sack him !!

To be honest I fancy our chances of winning this as much as Man U's chances - if we get through tonight, Arteta has actually proven that he can find a way to beat the big clubs, so don't sleep on him in that respect. So if we get to the final, I will expect to win it.

since winning the europa league against us chelsea have now pushed on and gotten themselves to a CL final

we on the other hand have drifted into mediocrity

a badly run club vs good run club.

So if we get to the final, We could win, but I won't be surprised if we don't win tonight. As for the final, it's a one off game, anything can happen. United are in good form at the moment though.

How can you possibly 'expect' to beat Manure in the Final? They have better players than us and have performed much better as a team this season than we have. The fact that we have beaten them once, should give us confidence, but not expectation!

Anyway.....we have the little matter of getting to the final first!

Like you then Jay?

I'm not sure about a meltdown....sure we'll be angry and disappointed with another failure, but this slow slide into mediocrity, with no sign of change, is just depressing. There is no quick fix from here.
