Giant Killers

I hate to say it but congrats to our illustrious younger brother over the river who've just committed a giant killing in the FA Cup. Deserved it as Arsenal were really not even at the races.

Forest were no great shakes, but certainly did enough to deserve it. Arsenal were absolutely awful.

Saw the last 30 minutes and couldn’t believe quite how poor Arsenal were. Forest v Leicester should be very tasty in the next round.

Cup giant killings mean Jack s***.
Forgive Swale - it was just the beans talking.

Great result for Forest, but Arsenal looked like they were on sedatives!

Arsenal - 10 shots off target, 0 shots on target.

Can't win games like that.

Congrats to Forest.

Sadly illustrates how little the once great FA cup matters to the big clubs nowadays. Thankfully it's still a wonderful competition especially for the smaller sides as this weekend's fixtures have shown. Superb stuff.

Such a shame we've not got involved in the giant killing for what 10 years now? Or less?

Got to hand it to Forest - they deserved that win. Good to see Ryan Yates is doing well, even if it is for our neighbours.

Arsenal have been impacted by COVID, injury and the AFCON Cup. They were close to full strength with the players available.
Chelsea were strong last night.
Man City we’re strong on Friday.
Newcastle played a strong side.
Liverpool had a mixed side as did Spurs.

I think the credit should go to teams like Forest, Kidderminster and Borehamwood for winning. Rather than belittling the achievements by blaming the big clubs for not going all in.
