I love Wenger, and I'd prefer him to stay, but part of me thinks that it'd be better for his own

[Brentwood]

sake if he left at the end of this season

[modd]

for the club. he leading us to the fa cup and another top four finsh and maybe even long odds now maybe be but a title.

If he left us tommrow some of worlds biggest clubs from psg to barca would want him mate. In end i think this will be his final contract but he deserves it for all sucess and football he bought to this club.

[Pokster]

there is every chance we could mess those up as well.... we have far more chance of failing to finish top 4 than we do of winning the title

[Supermac1976]

Oh & Birmingham too for that matter.

[Pokster]

[modd]

everton and spurs won,t catch us mate. top four sorted for all the teams.

fa cup in our hand. if we keep our nerve we do it.

[Brentwood]

combined with the fact that he has added just one first team player to the squad in 3 years (a squad that loses at least 3 first team players each year through injury), is really concerning.

When Chelsea and Man Utd came to the Emirates, they played a far more defensive game than we did against City and Chelsea, and we get absolutely embarrassed. This has been the case for a few years now. Even WBA's manager can go to Chelsea and get a point (should have been a win), yet Wenger hardly ever manages to do it.

If he wins the FA cup though, that should release some of the pressure on him at least and hopefully he'll strengthen the team in the summer and stay on a bit longer

[modd]

big wide wembley pitch not so broken of blobby pitch away from home.

when swansea played lower division team at wembley they thrashed them 5-0. that what good teams do to average teams on a netual pitch.

if we keep our nerve we be lifting the cup on the 17th.

[Brentwood]

[Luis Anaconda]

[modd]

at chelsea, city and liverpool and fact its bizzare he not played flamami and arerta togther in any of those hammerings from the start when they been so good together in the other big games. :rubchin:

But if he wins us fa cup and we get top three then he can buy big in summer, improve squard and ensure we provide even bigger challenge in league and champions league

[Brentwood]

[Supermac1976]

Wigan have won there more than us. :yikes:

[Billy Goat Sverige]

When pressed.

[R.C. Celebrating the return of Trophies]

this crazy assumption that we've already won the cup demoralises me.
It just shows how thick some of our fans are when it comes to big games for little clubs.

[modd]

and who were known for playing good football. also on day city were awful and went down to ten men.

we beat that same wigan team four day later 4-1. so imagine what we do to them if we play well .

['Neg]

[R.C. Celebrating the return of Trophies]

and you'd be foolish to expect us to unless Wenger has another change of heart and lets go of one of his most treasured philosophies.
Not going to happen.

[Brentwood]

Doesn't that dent your confidence a tiny bit?

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[modd]

and united at home and win newcastle away

they also have worser goal difference then us so it really six point gap anyway at present. deep down everton aiming for europa league football which be good achivement for them.

[modd]

were awful. wigan scored with their first two chances and then held on for dear life.

this wigaan team draw 3-3 with yeovil seven days ago,

we should and will beaat them if we turn up as we done other cup games

[modd]

a championship team. we should and will win as long as we profesional.

[modd]

team. we should win and we will as long as keep our nerve

[Billy Goat Sverige]

They score first and do the same thing. Can you imagine how soiled our players pants would be if they went a goal down?

[Luis Anaconda]

We could quite easily go down to 10 men and play poorly - we've all seen it before

[Supermac1976]

[modd]

lower premiership team and two non premiership teams left.

You never can say never but like city in league cup if we turn up and keep our nerve we be lifting it on 17th. we best team by milles left in it. it all about keeping our nerve

[Brentwood]

every single season

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/fa_cup/4139315.stm

[modd]

so might not be big thing. point is if we turn up and keep our nerve we win.

it like any sport. the underdog should never win if the big dog comes out and keep his nerve.

[Luis Anaconda]

That's about as relevant to the issue as the Huddersfield game

[Red N White Army]

Thankfully I missed every single minute and was in a mobile blackspot and we were 3 down by the time texts made it through

[modd]

but we didn,t. we went on to batter them 4-1 in the end

we could of pancied when hull took lead at our place in fa cup quater final in 2009. but we went on to win 2-1

these teams will give us a lot of chances. again as long as we deal with pressure of big occasion of wembley match then we beat all the teams left. even if we goal behind, we win as long as we professional in way city were second half againt sunderland in league cup final.

[Brentwood]

[Pokster]

[modd]

reserve team that day and won the return match with ease when they were profssional and we were without our best team ar orent but won the return 5-0.

Again of course shocks can happen but if we professional, play well and turn up we should have no issues beating any of teams left.

It all about us. Bit like if top four tennis player had onnly to beat world number 48 and world 100 and 128. If they turn up and play well they win the tennis tournament.

it same with us. if we deal with pressure we win. only we can beat ourselves

[modd]

but point is if it 11 vs 11 we with out team and hull, wigan or sheffied united with theirs should be big difference.

Only we can stop ourselves winning it if we don,t take our chances or don,t deal with pressure of big wembley occasion.

But we worked to hard now with big wins against better teams to throw this huge chance to end trophly drought away now.

[Brentwood]

[R.C. Celebrating the return of Trophies]

when small clubs get this kind of chance they up their game.
All of a sudden they become quicker, more determined and harder to beat.
They also have nothing to lose, no-one expects them to win.
Dangerous and underestimate them at your peril.
Something we as a club have done time and again.

[modd]

including big cup win after battering at liverpool, wins in dortmund, wins at home to nappoi, holding chelsea at home, drawing in munich and three wins over spurs without letting a goal in.

We dealt with many big games well. this is different kind of pressure when we such heavy favourites but with our record against **** teams this season as long as we turn up and play well we win the cup on the 17th.

[modd]

own turf can take anyone on. on netual big pitch at wembley we should beat that kind of team in way we beat tme 3-1 at emirates.

anyway stoke better then any of teams left to fact to be honest in the cup.

[modd]

underestimate them and will learn from last season and will put them to sword as we done most of weaker teams this season

[Red N White Army]

[R.C. Celebrating the return of Trophies]

I, however , am older and wiser and been hurt too many times by this lot to expect anything from them. So I will wait til the final whistle on 17th May before I start celebrating anything.

[modd]

i seen us lose to wrexham, millwall , bolton, bradford and blackburn over years so know shocks can happen but again if we turn up and play well we be lifting the cup on the 17th.
