Now Barcelona to just destroy them and all will be good.

How's the quest for that quadruple going? Such passionless performance by city, but credit to Wigan for a great tactical game!

[bushman 2,043]

So quickly we forget the Birmingham Arsenal final.

I assume, you think that´s conspiracy too.

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

Fuck sake Pellegrini choke some more while you're at it. Twat.

[Eligius 121]

One negative is that City will probably be eliminated from Champs league and now fa cup.

Gives them a better chance at the EPL title.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Fucking City. They had one fucking job.

We desperately needed that replay. Those wankers are all but guaranteed a trophy as well now.

[Rmpr 8,977]

Imagine now if Arsenal lose to Wigan, lol!

[Barbara 15,149]

Citeh were not in it today. Their minds are on... who knows?

I said it and while I haven't checked all matches, my memory serves me well.

Every time they had a big UCL coming, they messed up in the domestic competitions just prior to that.

It was like that before playing Bayern, Barça, and now Barça again. Maybe even more as I didn't check their fixtures, but I remember those cases.

They can't handle the pressure. While I think when they lose the UCL knock-out some of the press will be relieved, it'll be replaced by a defeated spirit. They're screwed imo, but we shouldn't relax at all. They'll drop points in the league, but so will we - for different reasons. But we do have a good chance here.

No my point was Arsenal FC is inept at finals.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Quadruple...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :LOL:

[zyzz 711]

Arsene will find a way to screw it up though

[Eligius 121]

One thing I saw was the huge difference between Fernandinho vs Garcia...

Garcia looked like a champ level player today. Fernandinho to City is what Matic is for us and garcia is to city and mikel to us.

The psychological blow from going out of the cup when they were the favorites and against a championship team will hit them much harder than one extra match.

[zolayes 14,489]

it wouldnt be a disaster if arse won the F A cup ,,,, they would give the Whinger a new 5 year contract , he would be convinced everything was perfect and

wouldnt buy anyone decent for years

Men to see a repeat of this will be glorious.

Even though, I agree with your evaluation of Citeh but not with Chelsea´s. I do not believe, Jose will allow the team to slip much. At least, every time he led in March he never lost it.

The drop-off from Fernandinho and Toure to anyone else in their squad is vast. Demichelis is a joke too, and even Dzeko is unreliable. They have a great first XI (apart from CB) but beyond that they're shaky. Pellegrini can't make changes without the system suffering.

Hopefully, the rumors aren't true that they signed both Mangala and Fernando next season. It would shore up their weaknesses.
