- Thread starter Cosimo
- Start date
Got offered a ticket but at £150 they can jog on.
Somewhat ironic given they won it more recently than MU

Think Arsenal will do it, although it would be very arsenal like to slip up

I'm more confident than the Brum game - the team is more mature, the goals have come from a variety of players and we haven't got anyone other than Walcott out - should hopefully make less of a hash of it than the Wigan game. Our league form has been at opposite ends of the spectrum for the last few games... I demand a win and clean sheet, really. We got 6 points off them this season with a 2-0 and 0-3 win so more of the same please.
Plus no Long or Jelavic for Hull so unless we have some truly epic brainfarts in defence, i dont know who is going to score their goals. Both Long and Jelavic are their main goal scoring threats this season.
Also not forgetting Hull havent won a game in their last 5 outings so their form isnt exactly great at the moment...hopefully they will carry it through to the final.
Here we go

hahaha
As a Spurs fan I can only hope Livermore or Huddlestone score the winner.
To be fair to Arsenal though, they've not had an easy run in in this competition and so it would be just I guess for them to win it. That doesn't detract from the fact I don't want them to though

So old and boring, bit like you
...surely you can do better that regurgitating that old pic lol.
Nervous but excited for this cup final... it will silence some fans, but i can imagine the liverpool fans that havnt already choked on their sour grapes will be saying "mickey mouse cup"...
gutted i dont have the £1943435423 for a ticket, although they are doing a screening at the emirates, so i may take the journey to watch it there for the atmosphere!

LOL Arsenal already starting to troll Hull fans
, it does say in the article that possible, nothing says in there for definite. Plus the council is giving a heads up as to what might happen ie road closures unlike my council here in east london, who just shut roads without any notice lol.

ARRRGHHH, I didn't realise, Barcelona vs Atletico is a 5pm kick off..... why 
Spanish league is weird, games on throughout weekend, though realistically the top of the table is sorted, european places are done and dusted I believe with 3+ points between every team meaning none of it matters except the result of that one game so not being on at same time doesn't matter, still odd. But why does the biggest la liga game of the season have to be the same time as this stupid game
Then again, why is the FA CUP a 5pm kick off on a Saturday.
As for the game itself, Arsenal SHOULD win easily, but then everyone thought the same against Birmingham. With Arsenal you never know if they'll just bottle it.
Hull/Brum have had similar records, both coming in to this game in HORRIBLE form, Brum got relegated and only won 2 of the last 13 games, getting 9 points in those games. Hull have got 10 points but only won 3 of the last 13 games. Both relegation form for basically 1/3rd of the season leading up to the final, both teams that conceded significantly less than the other teams around them at the bottom of the table. Hull actually have 2 points less than Brum had yet they managed to stay up.
Not winning this one would be a complete joke.

youll be surprised just how many finals arsenal have got to over the last 100 years and choked spectacularly.
obviously i wasnt alive for those, but it seems whenever we have a chance to do well, bad luck arrives, or we throw it away ourselves.

Looking forward to the game.

excited but nervous... until we settle into the game and get that first goal ill be biting my nails.
hull obviously havnt got jelavic or long but they are quite capable of sitting back and then just countering against us, maybe nicking a lucky goal in the process.
arsenal to win +2 goals, ozil to score anytime
