Care to expand on the other part of the reason for the Utd team being the way it is? You'll have to explain it very slowly as us Arsenal fans as we aren't obsessed about ye as others are.

I'm not worried Though I do appreciate the links to the explanations.

I could list off what I think the reasons are, but every other United fan will probably give you a different set. To be honest, if Louis Van Gaal can't figure it out, I'm probably not going to.

Regardless, who ever wins tonight will do so because they played a better game of football.

Com'n the draw, A high scoring one would be a bonus.

Would love to see a high scoring game here, but I'm gonna go with my gut feeling. Utd win with Rooney bagging a brace.

So happy Mertesacker starts

Welbeck?

There's an advantage to Utd already

Hes not great but in fairness he is our only player that will be able to deal with Uniteds long ball game.

Boskowski

Well at least its not a no hoper. Only 2 years ago I would have called it that. Now Arsenal haven really pushed on from two years ago , but now that United has lost their Fergie mojo at least its a proper game. I think Arsenal can do a job on them.

Oh no..not the long ball wildcard again

After 3 super boring q-finals, the cup needs a decent match.
So 0-0 then.

Fellani could have a field day arsenal midfield very lightweight.

No Giroud concerns me greatly.

Very odd decision from Wenger

DaveSuarez

I'm hoping United go through, preferably in a replay.

I wouldn't fancy Liverpool's chances of beating Arsenal at Wembley.

Is he carrying an injury? Surprised he isn't starting

Wenger obviously thinks maybe pace up top can stretch Utd?

Thankfully welbeck doesn't like hitting the net in Old Trafford.

I wasn't aware of an injury anyway, must be a tactical decision like you say. He's on the bench though, so I'm sure he'll be on at some stage.

Did Liverpool win yesterday?

Don't count chickens and all those kind of sayings.

Wouldn't fancy liverpools chances of winning any silverware really.

Ox in the Ramsey role? Coquelin, Ox and Cazorla is a very attacking trio..

bad2dabone

No Giroud is disappointing. interesting though that welbeck starts in the striker role. Happy that ox and alexis are on the wings, hard working players who'll put in a shift.

syngindub

shearer and keane in the studio, should be interesting

blueser

Shearer and Keane in the same studio? This could be better than the actual game!

oh god not Phil Neville

Haha gwan Martin

Would think it's Ox right, Cazorla in the Ramsey role? Alexis and Ozil chopping and changing between centre and left.

That Arsenal strip is new to me. Usually wear the yellow one don't they?

Smalling already, jaysus. Gonna be a nervy night

Were way to open a RB, Sanchez already exploiting it

Yellow for Bellerin for a 50/50 tackle.

They're as likely to win any as United are, more likely actually according to the bookies.

Danny Murphy making it obvious that he hasn't watched ozil at all since he came back from injury


Edit - having said that he hasn't been involved yet at all tonight

Fellaini wasn't hoping for contact there was he? :P
