Yes we did. They had one shot on target and they, er, scored one goal. All well and good if we can limit them to fewer scoring chances than goals we score, but is that really the best way to go about winning the FA Cup?

As I wrote before, we could easily have conceded - would have conceded - on two occasions against Boro if it were not for our defenders clearing balls off the line. And that wasn't the first game that our defenders have had to be there to back up Bravo. He made no saves during that game. What sort of goalie is it that needs defenders playing behind him to prevent opponents scoring?! One who is regularly and easily beaten.


On Stones clearance, can you please inform me as to what Bravo did wrong? If anything he should be getting credit for getting a hand to Fabio's point blank header which slowed the ball enough to enable Stones to clear.

Did he? I couldn't make that out.


I missed it at the time too, go to 9.50 on this, you can spot on the slow mo replay

Very much looking forward to this and am relishing watching the Tarquins squeal. Obviously if we win, mind you ;-)


I thought Chelsea in 2013 was a big challenge, possibly bigger than Arsenal, however I would discount Arsenal's current form with regard to the semi final. Anything can happen in a one-off cup game. Can't wait though - I'd love to beat the Goners!

Soon I'd like to be calling them the Gurners!


Watch Arsenal Fan TV on youtube - not far off :lol:

I can't see any official announcement BUT the BBC sport fixtures website shows us playing Arsenal at Wembley at 17.15 on Saturday 22nd. I hope this is true.

Ah, that's a shame. I think they may be waiting for tonight. If we get through then we may have a game (2nd leg?) of chumps league on the Wednesday before the FA cup. That may mean we play on Sunday at Wembley.

I don't know but usually your ticket carries forward or you can get your money back. It may be a frustrating wait to see when the new date for the game is. There could be s game on the Wednesday following the cup semi but this is most likely for the rearranged Derby as it stands.

Looks like that is the defining moment in our season unless we pull a very unexpected rabbit out of the hat in the next 45 minutes

Now that FA Cup is our only chance of winning a trophy; if Pep puts that cunt Bravo anywhere near our playing squad he can fuck off to his vineyard in Spain.

We've seen this season that Pep is very stubborn so I'm sure there is a big part of him determined to prove that Bravo was a good buy for us.

I'm sure Bravo will be playing against Arsenal in the cup.
