    Thing is, first half arsenal weren't even that good. I'd hate to be a scouser this morning. Reckon even Chelski wont score 6 tonight

    Don't listen to them Paul. DON'T LET THEIR MEAN WORDS GET TO YOU

    Also, of course they won't, not if they start Shevchenko.

    Oh no, our B-team + Gerrard and Bellamy was beaten by the Arsenal B-team + Fabregas and Toure. How ever will I live this shame down?

    The FA Cup loss is more shameful. Especially 'cause that Henry scored.

    Liverpool were truely awful in both games. Tactically owned. Unless they perform miracles at Barca. Their season is over....which is nice.

    Oh, but I mock you for that as well. Although I'd disagree with your suggestion that it was a more shameful defeat. After all, you had a pretty decent penalty shout in that game, and you know what we're like when we go a goal behind. If luck had been on your side, you might have gone through on Saturday.

    Compare that to the Carling Cup match. I'd say that conceding six goals at home for the first time in 77 years (when clubs played with a bajillion forwards) is pretty shameful, whether your B-Team's playing or not. I'd say that fielding a B-Team in the first place is pretty shameful, considering that you're out of the FA Cup, you've got the draw from hell in the CL, and out of the title race. And then bringing on Jamie Carragher to replace Luis Garcia when you're 5-2 down in a cup match...that's just madness.

    But enough of that, because the real story of the competition is that Wycombe held a certain blue team at Adams Park. And then Mourinho tried to pretend it was a good result. xD

    Both victories were very nice and all (especially the FA Cup one as few thought we could win), but let's not get ahead of ourselves. We might still return to our bad old ways at Blackburn on Saturday and we could still potentially still be out of both cups by the end of the month. So I'm remaining vigilant on our current situation.

    Liverpool could probably have guessed Arsenal would put out a B team and should have gone all out as CZ said

    Oh yeah, of course. Although we were lucky enough to get a home draw, I'd rather end up playing United or Chelsea than Bolton at the moment. And it is rather like us to beat Liverpool away twice in a week, only to go and embarrass ourselves against Blackburn the next game. Good old Gunners. :rolleyes2

    Just seen this

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...pe/6248835.stm

    There was a commentator on Sky Sports news last night who said "there is less focus on technical ability in the american game so it would suit Beckham" (or words to that effect), Talk about damned by faint praise!

    £400,000+ a week! For Beckham!

    Who will be next then? At that pay scale even Ade Akinbiyi would be on about £100,000!

    Yeah but I actually give a about the FA Cup.

    Even assuming Barca do beat us (I'm guessing they'll tank us 3-0 in the Nou Camp and we'll win 2-0 at Anfield and come so close but yet so far) that means we only have the league to worry about, and should be able to secure a CL place, something you Arsenal fans should know isn't easy. Out of the title race? Yes, unless something crazy happens to Manchester United, and things like that have happened in the past (hello Newcastle!) But consider this: We're only 8 points behind Chelsea. What with their thinning squad, with replacements in January unlikely, and their participation in all 3 cup competitions wearing them down, who's to say we can't catch them? Especially if we beat them at Anfield next week, cutting the gap to just 5 points. I can't see Man U falling apart - the title is theirs to lose really - but Chelsea, well, you can see the cracks forming already. I'd be happy with 2nd place, even if it meant no silverware.

    As for bringing Carra on, psshaw, midfielder for midfielder.

    Liverpool have as much chance of finishing second as we do. I come off it, we're only one point behind you still, so theoretically I could say Arsenal have the same chance to finish 2nd, using the same reasoning as you. But I'm not daft enough to think we'll be able to string the necessary run together to do so.

    I would laugh so hard if Bolton finished second.
