FA Cup '21

Not sure if anyone is interested.

Chorley beating Derby started the day well.

Leicester leading 0-1 at the half with a cracking goal by Justin.

There goes Allardyce.
You love to see it.

Well deserved victory, although it took far too long to break down Brucies' bus.

I like the format of drawing rounds 4 and 5 together.

Arsenal in blue is just wrong. They look like Chelsea, especially with willian in the team.

Southampton getting away with some fouls which are textbook yellow cards.
The standard of refereeing is really poor.

Clear handball.
Nothing given by ref or var.

I don't get it anymore.

To be fair I think you were outplayed for the first hour and should've been 3 down, but now Southampton are tiring badly

Arsenal have so many good youngsters but they don't get enough time because of all your high paid stars. I'd love to be able to take some of your young guys off you.

No luck today, but also not good enough.
Own goal and a clear handball in the box not given.

Oh well. We'll get them in the Prem.

I thought that Southampton were good for the win but you had a great 25 minutes from 60 onwards. That was much more like the old Arsenal and must give you hope that you can work your way back to the Europa league spots. Saints are a good team who run out of energy because of lack of depth. Ward-Prowse is fantastic, Bednarek, Walcott, Ings all top drawer.

As you say the prem match is the one that really matters between the two of you this season.

I really like Southampton.
Great vision as a club, great manager and some good quality players.
As you said: Ings, Ward-Prowse, Bednarek, Walker-Peters, Che Adams are really good.

At Arsenal, it's clear there's a huge gap betweed our best team and 'the other guys'.

I think that's the same everywhere but I also think that your second team could be first teamers in many of the other premier league teams. I think there is a management problem at Arsenal and when I say that I'm not talking about Arteta, I'm talking about the guys above him. the strategy has been off for some time.

Completely agree.
It's seems things are changing on that level, so I'm positive for the future.

I'm crying myself to sleep if we lose vs United tomorrow. Don't know how Klopp will prioritize the game - but a loss vs United and a game away vs Tottenham thursday. In the current state i don't expect much, but would be nice with a few away wins vs two of the top teams to gain some confidence again.

This is the beauty of the FA Cup. Brentford 1 Leicester 0 at the half.
