Wiltshire is one hell of a player already. Just goes to show that the English talent is out there, it just needs a chance, and some belief.

THat's well harsh ashton, what you basing that on? I think he's class, personally.

Only seen the second half but Arsenal look like the home side. They've played pretty decently but sadly United have defended very well. Arsenal should have scored at least a goal. Scoreline not a true reflection. Silver lining if we meet and beat them in the final it'll be all the sweeter.

[bigblue]

Now no fabregas, sczezney, vermarlin, djouru, and no one who can score for arse. Also no belief. Uefa cup for them next year and maybe we can poach a player or two

After the last game of the round this weekend

Thanks Crossie.

Heard the draw is 4 pm UK time Sunday, before City kick off. If so, we'll know. West Ham for preference and leave the rags to the final.

One rule for the Scum, another for the rest of us.

[bigblue]

What the fuck does scholes have to do to get sent off. If that was balo or de Jong, they'd be banned for 3 games at least

[french_tony]

If that had been an Arsenal player on a second yellow would the ref have kept the card in his pocket? Would be bollocks. That was a straight red, never mind second yellow.

[aaron bond]

Arsenal have a young team so they'll get there eventually ;-)

Suppose we'll hear all that bullshit again...

This seems very fair doesn`t it. If(as we should) beat reading and draw either scum or notlob their fans will be free to buy up ALL the cheap virgin train tickets as most of us will be in a boozer or on the way to the game....Thanks fa.

no silver lining for me, i want rags in semis, couldnt bear the thought of losing my 1st final to them,bad enough losing a normal derby to them but a final would send me over the edge...

[Mark (Blue Army)]

So Stoke v West ham, who do we want to win this then?

[Slim]

I don't think anyone wants to see Stoke win anything.

[Ted Hughes]

Win lose or draw, I'd rather be doing it against West Ham than Stoke. Even if we won a cup final v them, it'd most likely be shite.

[ashton287]

i'd like to play stoke at wembley in the semi's just because my sisters fella is a stoke fan and beating them would be fun.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Great save by Green, Bridge letting the cross come in again.
