Ramires! He scored for us last year. ;)

Haha true, Scored vs Barca as well which was a massive goal in terms of what it meant, Was an amazing goal aswell though. Cheeky little dink over Valdes. Celebration was class aswell!

No reason why we can't win this trophy again.Nothing better than seeing us lift a trophy...

But the big question is, If we do make it do Wembley. Who will be our new goal-scoring hero be in the final?

Rami scored in both matches at Wembley last year and Mata has an excellent scoring record in the FA.

On paper should be our cup for sure! But not going to take anything for granted. Lower league teams are always up for it. Not just a one time thing with Arsenal. It has happened with us against Barnsley in the FA Cup and Wycombe held us to a draw a few years ago albeit we battered them second leg. I am not going to underestimate Bradford but if we beat Leeds I pray we are drawn against them in the semis

And we thought we had problems - Arsenal are abysmal and surely Wenger's time is coming to a close!

I always felt re-establishing ourselves in the top four this season was priority in the league. As this was perfectly attainable, picking up a cup or two would be another productive season and keep breeding the winning mentality within the squad.

We have an excellent chance winning two (league cup and world club cup), and another two to play for - I'm happy with that.
