It'll be interesting to see one of the top defences against one of the strongest attacking teams in this weekends FA Cup semi-final, but do Middlesborough have a realistic chance of making the final?
The form that Arsenal have been in recently would point at a no, but then again, Middlesborough are also doing incredibly well at the moment, and have established themselves in the top half of the table.
Personally I think it depends on who starts brightest. If Arsenal get an early goal I don't see Middlesborough recovering from it. But if Middlesborough can shut Arsenal out in the first half they may be able to frustrate them, and as Arsenal push further forward, will they leave more space at the back?
Hopefully it will be a good match, but to me it looks like it will be an Arsenal in the final, probably againt Chelsea.

40 minutes till kick off.....
C'mon Boro!! But knowing football, Arsenal will be the first team to score past Boro in the cup this season, just like Anelka scored his first goal against United. :(

Even without some of there top players, Steve McClaren knows there's a lot of talent in the squad that can take those fancy-French-ponces by surprise!
That, and the magic of the FA Cup! :D
What time's the match on tommorow???
If it's in the morning i'll be at work and miss it. :(

With Carbone cup tied, Noel Whelan injured, Ince suspensed and Boskic 50-50 where are the Middlesborough goals coming to come from?
No where. No chance that Borough will woin or even score. Arsenal to win by 2 goals.

Well, if there's gonna be an upset at this stage, I think that's where it'll come. I don't see Fulham making it to the Final.
i dunno bout them having so much of a chance.
I dont know - Anything can happen in the cup!! I shall be backing Borough!!
I think they do have a good chance - due to the 'magic' of the FA Cup! Like all teams do. Remember Chesterfield a few years back?? And what about Tranmere Rovers! They're known as the kings of FA Cup upsets! Just a shame they didn't do so well this year.
Carbone is cup-tied as well...
Arsenal should completly destroy them...
