I had to laugh when I heard them refer to Reading beating WBA as giantkilling, I would have been more surprised if they had lost.

Well that was an enjoyable trip to Lancashire. After the customary slow start we played pretty well. Felt sorry for Elliot Ward but pleased Eminike opened his account. 

Really not sure who to support in tonight's game...

...finally, how do Arsenal manage fix the draw all the time?

Surely you should be up for Shrewsbury? The potential of losing to an LvG Utd team in the quarters has to be more embarrassing than the potential of losing to Shrewsbury

I'm assuming you mean arsenal's ability to get home ties? It's very odd. 

2 away ties in three seasons (not including this replay), admittedly one of those was against united but still.

Fergie stringing Mourinho on about the Utd job when he was leaving just to get one up on him didn't happen. Red Issue have a history of exaggeration.

And yes, if it means LVG goes then even a lot of Utd fans will be Shrewsbury tonight.

Some would say red issue is just full of bull shit.

if man utd fans want utd to lose tonight, that's more of an indictment on the fans rather than lvg.

Yes agree on both counts. LVG is gone anyway.

Unfortunately there's an even-worse Johnson....

Eidur's really let himself go.

[TheGayTent]

Am sure the Met are delirious at the thought that West Ham's final game of the season at the Boleyn is in all likelihood going to be Man Utd and not Swansea...

[mrtourette]

Doubt it

[TheGayTent]

I see Man Utd made it to the magic 50 last night. With 51 inevitable in a couple of weeks I'm hoping 52 doesn't happen for them until at least January 2017...

So....

Arsenal vs Barca tonight, normally pretty tasty matches, and not necessarily with the expected Barca win. Can't wait.

Yep looking forward to it. Barca were shite enough at the weekend. Not all of their first team mind you.

Yawn

The Gooners did OK. Decent watch of a match but in the end Arsenal are lucky it was not a lot more.

I was flicking between the 2 games and the other one was better.  Arsenals focus this season has to be the premiership and it probably wont be the worst thing for them if they go out.

because watching WHU is better...?

Was a crackin' match, the sort of footie I'd like every game to be. High skills and little bullshit.

The Juve Bayern game? Yes it was much better. That Dybala is going to be some player.

From one angle, yep, tho from another they should have won. They had their chances.

Barca are Barca, so it's never going to be an easy game.

 Did you actually watch the game last night? Barca dicked around so much that Cech didn't even have a save to make until the 2nd half. 

Arsenal were a better side and more exciting to watch in 03-04 than they are now. All fur and no knickers.
