fa cup semi final
- Thread starter carteater
- Start date
I've been very torn who I want to win here. Extra time will now tire Wigan legs. However did we want them fresh or not for the Reading game? If they beat Reading and Reading drop points at Leicester, that could give us the best chance of a clearer run for 6th place. However if Wigan lost to Reading and Reading got anything against Leicester we would perhaps still be left hoping needing them both to slip up in the rest of the season. I'm not sure that there will be much benefit of 5th vs 6th place. Both would be away second leg in the playoff and I'm not bothered about whether we would want to play Derby or QPR (and they are pretty close for 3rd/4th anyway). I guess Wigan going through might mean that if we played them in a playoff semi-final or final they might be affected by having to think about an FA CUP final a week before the playoff final. However I wouldn't want to play Wigan in the final with their Wembley experience.
I guess now Wigan are exhausted anyway I would prefer them to win the penalty shoot out that is about to start. Not least because I hate Arsenal!

And the ending of Wigans.....
Hopefully Wigan will be so distraught they won't win again this season.

If we were to get to the play offs and if we get to the final and if it goes to penalties, can we borrow Wenger to do some penalty practice? Theirs were superb.

Jesus, can you imagine. We have enough trouble finding one player who can take a penalty!

That Sanogo is awful 
I think you have most things covered in that post.
Well that'll please the fella sat behind me today.
He spent most of the first half talking about Arsenal.
Although he did prove a highlight on 41 mins when he said:-
'no one will score now', and left for a pie
Over the whole game him and his mate must have 90% of the time talking about Arsenal, the FA cup & the Premier League.

Semi-final played at Wembley, on a Saturday evening, 24 hours before the other semi-final. Tie settled on penalties at first time of asking with no replay. What a crock of shit the FA Cup has become over the past however many years. It's hard to give the FA Cup any respect these days when the FA themselves have systematically dismantled everything that made it so special when I was a kid.
