19:55? That's not a kick-off time.

What are we hoping for? If we win the cup we almost certainly get 2 more years of Him, at a minimum. Better to go out tonight or go through and then get thumped 4-1 by Spurs at Wembley in the semis?

A 2-1 defeat would be just the trick, I think. His position will be almost untenable then.

Anyone wanting Arsenal to lose to get rid of the manager surely cannot be said to support the club.

We don't want to lose to Sutton, Rich. We will never, ever, hear the end of it.

Took a long time for my dad to stop calling Sol Campbell 'Kevin'

Mind you, they did both have big fat arses.

I think this is probably a but my mum used to call Carlos Vela, Ricky. as in Ricky Villa

It's 11 v 11, sw. Anything could happen.

I once played for a pub team which was drawn against British Telecom in some cup competition or other. BT! Those blokes spent all day training, and they had about 50,000 lads to choose from. Thy might as well have been professional. But we reasoned that they were mortal, just like us, and we went out there and gave it our all.

We lost 11-1, of course, but I scored so I didn't give a fúck.

No, I'm not having it*

In fact I think it will be so one sided as to turn over.

Note I did not even stoop so low as to suggest we are the much fabled flat track bullies etc.

*I know it could but it won't. It will be comfortable. That's how we roll.

What if you had money on Sutton, where do you stand on that.

I haven't by the way but expect many will, just in case.

[Luis Anaconda]

But it's just silly. Apart from anything else, it means the game won't end until, let's see, 20:40, 15 minutes for half time, that's 21:00 by the time they get going, so final whistle at 21:50! That's almost 10 o'clock! On a weeknight, that's fúcking bed time.

22.50 here And I have to watch in the pub. In other news - wd the pub

It is admirable the personal distress you go through for the club.

I never bet, partly for these reasons.

Insurance, I can understand. It can get a bit murky though, this betting mularkay. When I used to sit with Neg he would regularly be punching the air at Spurs and Chelsea wins when it benefitted his accumulator. I did not approve.

I love a gamble but never been tempted into sports betting. takes too long I like to lose my money quicker.

A supporters loyalties, or more importantly dislike of rivals, can play no part in gambling other than perhaps not backing your team to lose.

I could fully understand a chap wading in tonight at 28/1 if the chap was sitting on surplus funds in his account.
