Let's do this

Do you remember how that hull city game went?!
I know we won but 2-0 down in a final is not fun

Gunner89

Hull city final ended a drought, hopefully like sunday

On to the next one.

City are wounded. We're on a high. Let's smash them 5-1, please and thank you

tazmania Let's smash them 5-1

That's why MLS got a run-out tonight? To shake off the cobwebs for this one?

Just need to recall Nwaneri now.

Gunner89

Kepa better not play

Sicario2

Gunner89 this is actually a really important point.

Anyway, we couldn’t have gone into this game in better condition and momentum and almost the opposite for City.

Also, because of the 9 point gap, there will be less media coverage on this game how it will be decisive for the league.

Anyway let’s fucking bury them. I want revenge for the 2018 final.

Win this one and psychologically we are set for the business end of the season.

We should also out number the City fans at Wembley which should make a difference.

There's no way Kepa's going to play a cup final. We're not about to start Lewis-Skelly and Norgaard either just because they need games.

If we win this cup we'll kick into another tier completely and win the league and CL too. Just go out there and dominate them with the best players we have available. We are better than City. We're better both as a team and individually. Just send them back to hell.

Sicario2

Klaus cup keepers are different though. Didn’t we play Ospina v said Hull game in 2014?

City have lost their last 3 games at Wembley btw (I was there for one of them):

2023 - charity shield v us
2024 - fa cup final v Utd (I was there)
2025 - fa cup final v Crystal Palace

Claudius

Klaus We're not about to start Lewis-Skelly and Norgaard either just because they need games.

They might not even be with the team. We have 9 sub spots. A few of Odegaard, MLS, Jesus and Norgaard in trouble here, especially if Timber is healthy. I’d say we need a clear out in the summer but next season will be brutal post a 48 team World Cup.

Klaus

Sicario2 Nah we played Fabianski and he was a better keeper than Szczesny at that particular point in time. Wenger just picked the better keeper and got shit for it because Fabianski was leaving, but it was the right choice.

Sicario2

Klaus that’s who I meant but think Ospina was in goal for the 2015 final?

Fabianski nearly cost us the 2014 final when he went for a little wonder!

Klaus

Sicario2 Well Arteta wasn't the manager back then!

Klaus

Rosenior played in that final btw, didn't he? I have some memory of him limping off.

daredevil

I’m sure Kepa will play. I’m sure the selling point for a decent keeper to come and sit on the bench is that they will play all the cup games.

Big Willie Champ

daredevil I’m sure Kepa will play.

Yeah, think so to. We'll field our strongest lineup with Kepa the only non starter starting.

Phil think that'll be the team but Hincapie instead of Cala.

samthegooner

Phil I think this is the team but with Havertz instead of Gyokeres.
