If it was the old days of the big 4 (06-09) certainly be cheering you guys to high heaven, but its every man for himself with competition so high now.

I think winning the FA cup could be massive boost for you guys, Chelsea already won the league so winning FA cup wouldn't really be massive deal to them.


I'd rather Arsenal win it than Chelsea win another bloody double myself mate. 

Plus Chelsea fans are a set of absolute c*nts.

Thanks for the good wishes

Going to be difficult for the defensive side of the team and Wenger has some big calls to make, hopefully we rise to the occasion and give a moment of glory for the summer. Or at least give Chelsea one heck of a game

I love the optimism, but we've been battered against anyone decent this season, and no Koscielny will be a major loss.  Personally I'm expecting a 4-1 with Chelsea ruthlessly hitting us on the counter - a back three of Holding, Gabriel and Monreal against an in form Hazard, Costa and Pedro doesn't bode well - not to mention the lack of balance in the side for the most of the season.  I wouldn't be surprised to see Ramsey right wing like last season, Xhaka and Coquelin centre mid to try to protect the defence, and Sanchez, Ozil and Welbeck ahead of them.

I can't imagine why any non AFC fan would want Chelsea to win, but such is modern football, lets hope we get a surprise result today - I've got plenty of friends travelling to the game today but few are confident.

I think Wenger has to go with a similar team to the one he picked against Chelsea near the start of the season. Obviously Cazorla's injured, so he can't play exactly the same team but I think he has to go with Welbeck or Sanchez up front.

Sorry guys it's nothing personal but i am all for Arsenal loosing and chaos at your club, means one less club we need to worry about next year.  :wave

Winning the FA Cup is great but it won't make any difference whatsoever to Arsenal going forward. They won't be able to attract better players off the back of winning it and their current better players won't be any more convinced to stay because of it.

Maybe we will have to worry about them next year, maybe we wont, but either way it won't be because of the FA Cup.

Wenger is pissed.

Quote
"I don't mind criticism because we are in a public job," he told BBC Sport's Football Focus before Saturday's FA Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley.

"I believe there's a difference between being criticised and being treated in a way that human beings don't deserve."

He added: "The lack of respect from some has been a disgrace and I will never accept that. I will never forget it.

"The behaviour of some people during the season, that is what hurts me most. It's not my person that is hurt but the impeccable image of the club around the world. That kind of behaviour does not reflect what Arsenal is.

"A strong club is a club that makes a decision. It is wrong that in modern society it is not a question of whether a decision is right but whether it is popular. That has nothing to do with competence. People with responsibility have to make the right decision."

Winning is still winning!!! At the end of the day when it comes to progressing they can say yes we are struggling but we stilling winning trophies.

Personally i really don't care for either team, the weakest link is Arsenal in top 6 for me. So if they can suffer a blow here and be embarrassed which will affect there summer transfers and the mood around the club.

Chelsea loosing.....meh we won the title this is just added bonus for them.

Yeah Arsenal fan maybe better but i don't support either club so...means nothing to me personally.

I hope Arsenal win, but alas I think theyll likely get beaten,  with those defenders missing especialy problematic.  But maybe they can gut it out and pick 'em off!

Anyway, doubt I'll get to see it, part of it clashes withe Pokal final I think, plus I gotta go shopping at some point today which takes a far higher piority :D

He needs a bit of bite, has been his biggest weakness not having that 'edge' - however half of what he says there is shite.....i suspect the Arsenal fans are just pleased to see a bit of passion.

Wouldn't be the worst thing to see Sanchez go out on a high note before his move.

Wenger does deserve a lot more respect than he's currently getting, and it seems very likely he'll be staying for another two years so hopefully they start to give him the respect he deserves as their greatest manager and the best manager they could realistically get.
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.
