    I would expect a fairly subdued celebration amongst a crowd struggling to fill the stadium.

    They're bored with this game, you see.

    Three FA Cups in four years, which is what we are talking about here is not an "occasional FA Cup".

    Also, if Arsene could win 7 FA Cups, that will probably never be bettered.

    Well that's Gustavo's view and he's entitled to hold it. I rather disagree.

    Staying up being like a trophy is what clubs like Sunderland think. We - however - are the Arsenal.

    And it also spares you having embarrassing scenes of jubilation, involving your hundert million pound world record signing dancing on the pitch because you've scraped fourth place, beamed around the world #fergieknows

    Seems strange then that Liverpool and Man City are both celbrating every victory like it is a cup final.. almost as if they think being in the CL is bloody important

    I will be very happy indeed if we win the FA Cup and my hypothetical preference for Top Four is with a heavy heart, since it cannot compete with the satisfaction of seeing your team win silverware.

    Both those clubs have reason to be more sanguine about their future in that competition, should they qualify, than we do though. The European Cup has been most kind to Liverpool down the years and Manchester City are now armed with the "best manager in the world" who in turn will be armed with all the money in the world and perhaps also Lionel Messi too. Neither outfit will be looking at the thing as merely a money-making jaunt or as a prelude to a tonking from Bayern München in the knockout rounds.

    BTW, now that I've stopped laughing, I'm loving the idea that supporters of one of the ten richest clubs in the world who don't consider avoiding relegation to be trophy have a sense of entitlement that is way out of control.

    That is some seriously top class lunacy/drunkenness right there.
