Stoke - Arsenal

Stoke just won 3 - 1. Makes our exit to Brum all the more galling. FA cup wide open this season, what odds Brum draw reading or stoke at home.
Good grief, it could have been so easily so much better.

Similar clash in styles Duncs, Wenger paid the penalty for putting such a crap side out. Campbell was only half the speed of Davie Weir....Stoke could go all the way

Looks like someone beat me to it. :mellow:

Well, at least that confirms it. Another big name out, well worth a mention, no matter who gets to it first.

But yesterdays exit, does take on greater significance right now.

The best thing we can do is move on, yesterday is history USS

Yesterday is history, but had we won with arteta back, it would have been a humdinger ending to the season.

Lets just try to get the pre season right and a good start for next year now.

No matter what anybody says it always hurts to go out of the FA cup at any stage, last year was pride more than anything else, OK, lost the game, but to get to where we did was a fantastic achievement.

They say losing an FA cup semi-final is the hardest to take, and we must of upset a lot of teams in the 1980s.

Keeping up with updates yesterday for the last 30 minutes, willing an euqualizer than never happened, as the dream died still rankles.

Must have been worse to those who were actually there, still hurts, but no good beating yourself up over it.

Still say Arteta was brought on too late, this is the same manager who brought on Hibbert for a UEFA cup game last season (or the one before) for all of Six Seconds. I don't understand Moyes mentality sometimes.

not knocking Moyes here, just get exasperated sometimes.
