----------------------------

Well what can I say? all of a sudden I like Liverpool ;-)

Fulham without Saha; West Ham without Di Canio - what can go wrong?! :)

...Oh, yeah - our defence is in tatters!! :S


Still, I'm quite confident we can beat whoever we come-up against; with-or-without Louis Saha (I mean, er... Rio Ferdinand).


I feel sorry for Liverpool, though. Under Houllier, they had little hope as it was; but now, they'll be up against Thierry Henry and co.

Will a thrashing in this game awaken the Scousse chairman to the fact that Gerard Houllier IS NOT and NEVER WAS the right man for the job???


I haven't seen either of Reyes goals, so, I cannot comment on them.

Ironic, though, isn't it. The one-man (other than the French ones!) who Arsénal fans seem to love and adore (when they still know nothing about him, too!) is the one to turn-over Chelski's once-time promising fortune in the FA Cup - after a week in which he scored a "very memorable" debut goal.

It's Arsénal all-the-way. If we still had Rio (or, at least, a new signing at the back!), we'd still have a good chance. We may be able to scrape throguh to the Final, but I can't see an on-form Henry being stopped by any-one of our team. If only we'd signed Alan Smith or something...

I'd rather lose the F.A Cup final to Liverpool than Arsenal.

If thats any conselation.

Liverpool seem a good bet here, and I would put money on them. I hope to see a Man Utd vs Liverpool final, so that Arsenal aren't yet again in the final, and we get a good game. When these two teams meet we often see a classic encounter.

It is - just hope you don't catch it!

Man, thats worse than death ;)

I think you can too. It will be difficult but it's not impossible, Liverpool have had a poor season so they will need to improve considerably if they are going to win against the gunners. I think Gerrad is coming into a bit of form at the right time for you lot and he maybe the key.

We can beat the Gooners though. If we play as we know we can do, then there's no reason why we can't. Like Ant's said, we've had a very poor season by the team's standards.

lol I can just imagine a radio phone in show with a load of seething Scousers...

"...'ere calm down calm down, brooky's on fella..."

*no actually I can't! ;)
