Arsenal Vs Everton, FA Cup, K/O 12.45 live on ITV1

bad2dabone

A big match for both teams but I suspect more so for the Arsenal.
Man Utd are the most successful club of all time in the FA Cup with 11 wins, but Arsenal have 10 and really could do with a trophy this year to get the long trophy drought monkey off our backs. Wenger went so far as to say it's a vital fixture in his friday press conference - however with a midweek trip to bayern munich we'll see if he puts out a full strength side. I feel he must.
Meanwhile, Everton come into the game with a number of positives, the played a great match against arsenal at the emirates earlier in the season and are more than capable of a result here, especially considering arsenal's form is poor over the past month or so.
It promises to be an interesting contest, and a nervy one for the gooners on here.

Arsenal (Possible, 4-2-3-1): Szczesny; Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs; Arteta, Rosicky/flamini; Cazorla, Özil, Podolski; Giroud.
Out: Kallstrom (back), Ramsey (thigh), Walcott, Diaby (both knee), Wilshere (foot).
Tests: Koscielny (hamstring), Monreal (ankle).
Everton (Possible, 4-2-3-1): Robles; Coleman, Stones, Distin, Baines; McCarthy, Barry; Deulofeu, Barkley, Pienaar; Lukaku.
Out: Gibson, Koné (both knee), Oviedo (broken leg), Traoré (hamstring).
Test: Jagielka (hamstring).
Referee: Mark Clattenburg

Hope it's an entertaining draw

Spurs won the double in the 60's. United done the treble in 99. They got a few doubles as well.

I'm talking about the fa cup and league cup double. As far as i'm aware arsenal were the first to do this in 1993.
man u's treble was league, cup and CL.
Spur's was a league and cup double too.

Fancy an Arsenal win here.

Marty McFly

Get in Ozil :D:D.

bad2dabone

Ozil! Brilliant! Well done santi

Oh look at that, who would've thought a bit of pace in an attack would suit Ozil?

ricero

Vintage everton

LightningBlue

Great threaded through ball by Cazorla

Mickeroo

Welcome back Ozil.

bad2dabone

Form is temporary and all that

Marty McFly

Hard luck Sanogo not a bad effort.

Mr Blobby

You see that Giroud?
Thats what happens when we have people running ahead :pac:

LightningBlue

Everton looking a bit of a shambles at the back, Jags is a big loss

Drexel

yesss. Delighted for him

bad2dabone

Well done bac

omega man

Much more like it arsenal, keep it up.

Great tackle there Sagna

bad2dabone

Ozil tracking back! Haha deadly stuff

Marty McFly

Some great play there again.

Mr Blobby

There not pressing us at all!
Not very smart if you ask me.

Luap

It went a while back. You can tune in utv hd though.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Everton keeper looking nervy

Mickeroo

Crikey, that goalie is a liability.

Spanish Johnny

He might be no world beater but we look a much more fluid side with Sanogo. He is a facilitator for the 3 behind him. Ox obviously helps too. For the first time in ages we look really threatening.

Open game though and can see Everton scoring.

Flamini must be careful now.

Liamalone

Get in!! Good run Barkley

Marty McFly

Brutal defending no one watching far post at all. Sagna badly caught out.

Drexel

Sanga was very casual there.

efb

Bad bad defending

Spanish Johnny

Flamini couldnt tackle there because of his stupid yellow

Turtyturd

Deserved...can't have any complaints. Although if the Everton keeper isn't taken off it's hard not to see Arsenal scoring again.

Mickeroo

Game on now. Not too worried, still look the better side.

omega man

Sloppy, really sloppy. Despite our positive attacking start the signs were there from the get go. Some real poor passing etc.

Marty McFly

Hard luck Ox, having a good game today.

Liamalone

Should've been two there, poor shot from Mirallas

irish son

Arteta took to long to get his shot away before the goal and thats where the break came from. One of the centre backs should covered Mirallis's run as Sagna wasn't making up the ground quick enough.

smilerf

Anyone know the code for utv hd thanks

Marty McFly

Brilliant by the Ox

Liamalone

Corners galore for Arsenal today

pudzey101
