The FA CUP Sixth Round ** Spoilers ** [11th - 13th March 2016]

What a donkey, they really didn't show replays of the goal too much but, I think Welbeck actually missed the target and it went off the defenders leg into the far corner?

EDIT:- Also rather like the Hull final, we only start playing when we feel like the game is completely out of reach..... but people don't think we have an issue with big games. Only reason we beat Villa so easily is Villa were just so terrible they made it painfully easy to win.
 
Another gutless performance, Sanchez is getting into the team on reputation only at the moment. Walcott got his new contract so has given up playing. Fed up of watching the same old **** year after year.
 
What I would give to be able to support Arsenal and watch this '****' year after year, Champions League football, Top four finishes (challenging for the title), FA Cup runs... League Cup runs...

Must be so difficult :p.
 
Arsenal falling apart this time of the year, again. Out of all competition within the space of a week (the Barcelona game is pretty much a formality).

Arsenal will play out of their skins versus a barca that can't be bothered and either get a draw or a slim win and suddenly everyone will love wenger and lament their "bad luck" in the first leg. Next season will be their season....

What good is champions league football , FA cup runs, league cup runs, if you know the result before you go in? Did Watford fans know they'd get to the semi finals, now, there is an element of not knowing their team is incapable of performing in big games. Arsenal are so completely predictable, we go out the same way every year. We get thrashed by whoever we face in the champs league in the round of 16 and before that we get 4 games against european minnows and 2 games against a half decent european team... which we'll probably lose.


When you see exactly the same mistakes every single year for literally a decade, it sucks the fun out of watching games. Arsenal only turning up at all in the final minutes after the game looks out of reach... standard, predictable. Watching Walcott when you know he's getting 140k to care way way less about the team than you do when you struggle to afford a £50-80 ticket... that isn't funny, that's a punch on the nuts.

Arsenal are firmly in a group of teams that spend 50-100% more than the teams below them. IE this year Spurs are at around 100mil and Arsenal are at around 185mil in wages. 5 years ago it was 140mil vs 80mil, 10 years ago it was 100mil vs 60mil. With Spurs being probably the biggest spenders outside of Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, City and Utd.

We're in the big team CL wages bracket and yet of all the teams spending lets say over 110mil a year currently(you can scale that down for comparing 10 years ago) we are the single side not to be winning league or european titles. Arsenal are by a huge margin the worst performing 'big spending' team. Also in each of the leagues with similar spending powerhouse teams... a smaller team on a Spurs like budget has beaten the top spending teams to the title in that period.

No club has an entitlement to win things, all you can ask is that your team is in the running to win things.

I hate this part of the season, "we almost beat Bayern/Milan/Barca/Monaco, the second leg was really close, if only we hadn't been so bad in the first leg".... every freaking year. Every year Arsenal fans fail to see the reason is because the other team wrapped the tie up and aren't wasting energy.

Embarrassing thing is that against several of those teams, in most of those games we managed to get the goal advantage but were still completely outplayed. LIke bayern I think somehow lost the second leg but had like 3 times as many shots and were insanely unlikely not to win the second leg by a huge margin as well... when they were barely trying.

I honestly hope Barca smash us to pieces to give Arsenal fans absolutely nothing to mistake as a good performance or the 'potential' of this side for next year. Wenger has to go, every single same mistake made this year as made in the past decade, we absolutely won't see any real change till he's gone and 7-8 players sold. I mean I'm happy if a player changes his tune under a new manager but I can't see a lot of the players who have been with Wenger for so long being able to adapt at this point.
