FA Cup Final Thread - 2014/15 season

[Fernando]

First topic message reminder :

FA Cup Final  

Arsenal vs Aston Villa

[Crimey]

No idea how I'd like us to line up, played well against Newcastle but it was Newcastle. Skrtel and Gerrard are also back from suspension and Sturridge probably will be out. Sakho is definitely out though. Ibe is cup-tied. Chance of going back to a back three, especially if Rodgers doesn't have faith in Johnson.

If back three I'd go:

Mignolet

Can Skrtel Lovren

Henderson Gerrard Lucas Moreno

Lallana Coutinho

Sterling

If back four:

Mignolet

Johnson Skrtel Lovren Moreno

Henderson Lucas

Markovic Gerrard Coutinho

Sterling

[Crimey]

I doubt he'll play anything like that though, Allen will probably play, Gerrard on the bench.

Football support is very synthetic whoever you support.

Yeah but more likely if you live in Surrey and support the pool or United


WBA and TP taking there chances v us

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Why is Chesney being blamed for that goal?! Huge deflection

[kingraf]

Not watching, but Welbeck is a real labour of love

[Duty281]

Why is Chesney being blamed for that goal?! Huge deflection

Because Danny Murphy is an awful commentator, Owen-esque!

[GSC]

Oh dear Federici.

That was awful

[Duty281]

Oh dear Federici.

That was awful

Indeed - but Danny Murphy has sympathy this time around!

[GSC]

Danny Murphy commentated a World Cup game and I assumed it was Mark Lawrenson until they pointed out it was Danny Murphy

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Poor bloke. Nick will be here soon to say he let his country down, i'm sure

[1GrumpyGolfer]

Do you guys have Matt Jackson commentating on this? He seems amazingly biased against Arsenal. Did they turn him down as a signing, break his leg, relegate him?

[GSC]

Reading wont care, their season was a disappointment regardless having failed to win the league

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Got to say, impressed by Arsenal's midfield. To dominate an opposition like Reading, with that class, really shows they're onto something special

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Reading wont care, their season was a disappointment regardless having failed to win the league

Amazing that they didn't with that midfield and amazing fanbase

[Guest]

Bless ya

[westisbest]

hard luck on Reading.

And the keeper.

Their fans were pretty decent to.

[FootballLight]

It was bad to see our plastic fans get beat. Maybe if we were a little louder we might have done it, but oh well, plastics stay plastics don't they after all, what a shame

Not exactly let ourselves down but we are all extremely disappointed. The frustration is that any Sunday League goalkeeper would make that save which makes it even more degrading that we lost that game and how we did.

I think its pretty obvious that Reading will care don't you think. Yes, poor league season but we were somewhat 15 minutes away from a return visit on May 30th and a place in the FA Cup final. So I'd be pretty sure from Chairman to rookies the club deeply will care about this game and it will go down in History for us.

The amazing fanbase where it actually looked like we had more fans than Arsenal's. Probably didn't because there was a little section that we just didn't fill but its hardly like we only brought 10,000 fans and Arsenal brought 50,000.

I think the midfield matched Arsenal's today. We just missed that extra man in Karacan or even Norwood. Maybe if we had 5 in midfield, it could have been different on the day but I knew even at 1-1, as pessimistic as this is, we would eventually lose out, whether it be extra time or penalties.

[GSC]

Turning up for a Wembley date isnt exactly proof your fans aren't plastic

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Turning up for a Wembley date isnt exactly proof your fans aren't plastic

Indeed. It's the fact that 75-80% of them won't turn up for the next home game that is

[FootballLight]

Indeed. It's the fact that 75-80% of them won't turn up for the next home game that is

That would probably leave us 8,000 home fans when we get a good 15,000 every game of our own fans. So, that's wrong for a start.

So what proof do you need then? We've had a poor season. I guess it means Burnley's fans are plastic because they are bottom of the Premier League does it? They don'[t have a lot to cheer about, neither have we. Ou fans weren't plastic when we won the league, I wonder why that is.

[GSC]

They were pretty plastic. From memory they were pretty roundly lambasted nationally when they played Leeds one time that season.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

I dont think you understand the term plastic.

[westisbest]

Big game today. Super Sherwood has us playing some good stuff.

The beast is on fire.

Tough game, but fancy we can take the pool.

Shame i couldn't make it today, but will be out knocking the frost off a cole of cold ones, watching the villa boys.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Think/hope you pull off the win today westi

[FootballLight]

I dont think you understand the term plastic.

Nor do you by the sounds of it. Just proving the point and look at that, no response given whatsoever. Typical.

[westisbest]

Think/hope you pull off the win today westi

Lets hope so.

Most people are just bored of you. Equally, you don't understand it so your "proof" wasn't there.

[westisbest]

Done Jack Grealish first goalscorer.

[Crimey]

Liverpool team vs Aston Villa: Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Lovren, Moreno, Allen, Henderson, Gerrard, Markovic, Coutinho, Sterling

How they will line up is anybody's guess, could be 3-4-3 with Markovic as wing back, Gerrard further up. Could be 3-4-3 with Henderson as wing back, Allen-Gerrard in the middle and Markovic up top. Could be 4-3-3 with Can at right back.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Worst defending I've seen all season

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

OH BENTEKE WHAT A GOAL

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Gerrard/Henderson/Allen playing the "who can be more anonymous" game.

All excelling so far

[Stella]

Gerrard is playing like someone who has never played in midfield in their life. The game is going past him. Quite ironic that Liverpool fans want Gerrard to get a last game final (fair enough), and that he may be partly responsible for them failing to do so.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

GOAL GOAL GOAL GOAL GOAL

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Delph single handedly dicking that Liverpool midfield

[Guest]

What's happening here, then!

[Stella]

Terrible ball to Benteke. Could have been all over

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

It's ok Liverpool fans - Glen Johnson is coming on

[Dolphin Ziggler]

When you dont need to be defending then Johnson is the perfect full back to bring on

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Dejan Lovren ladies and gentlemen
