F.A. Cup 16-17th

Yes! I thought the keeper had scored!

Why did i just celebrate that like a spurs goal?

Hah, me too! My cat is now hiding under the table because of my shrieking!

(And now a gruelling replay for Everton - hurrah!)

 

[spurs]

Great finish to the match. 21 players in the penalty box. One extra fixture for Everton is great news.

 

[riggi]

Tim Howard looks pisssssssssseddddd

That was a bloody great cup tie. Perfect outcome, too.

Wasn't it? I can't stop smiling.

And the Oldham fans were magnificent - just didn't stop singing.

Right, come on Brentford tomorrow...

ETA: Matt Smith sounds so well-spoken!

On Arsenal fans booing, Arsene Wenger added: "What do you expect, people to applaud when you lose a game like that? It's absolutely normal."

I thought he came across well in his interview. He must be a clever lad - graduated from Manchester University. I've never heard a footballer use the term "impetus" either!

"Only 4 and a half months until the transfer window opens..."

I told 'em Oldham! I really enjoyed watching that game. It reminded me of the way football was years ago.

 

[sherbornespurs]

More pressure on Wenger/Goons. Everton now facing an extra game, a tough replay against Oldham.

What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Scarlet57]

Just read that if Arsenal don't win the CL this season it will be their longest trophy-less run since 1938.

Dontcha fink your Walcott was Bale times 3?

Surprised he heard it....

Very articulate and level headed guy.

Just read that if Arsenal don't win the CL this season it will be their longest trophy-less run since 1938.

Other notable gaps include 1953 - 1971 - unless they include the Inter Cities Fairs Cup 1969
&
1979 -1987

Not too much talk about their "gap years" for such a successful side.

It shows the sad state of CL dominated football that going out of the FA cup is probably a good thing if you're going for a CL place.
Still funny though.

Love reveling in Arsenal's misery but we should hold back on laughing too hard about the trophy drought. We call ourselves a big club but haven't won the league in over 50 years. That's embarrassing.
