semi final

[italia]

our lads must really be looking forward to stepping out at Wembley again, not so sure about Arsenal though; we ve nothing to lose and all the pressure is on them . Think Mc Lean will be a real handful for them and if Gomez continues his fine form will be too. Mc manaman , will he start ?. Not suggesting for one moment that Arsenal aren t a good team , but with recent demolitions by Chelsea L pool and City it proves they can be undone. What happens with the wrongful dismissal against Chelsea Gibbs|Chamberlain, anybody know if the red card is 'swapped'?

Even if Arsenal don't contest the mistaken identity the FA said they are proactive at rectifying such incidents and Gibbs is certain to be exonerated with Oxlade-Chamberlain taking the ban.

Makes no difference to us, Arsenal have 3 league fixtures before the semi final.

The Ox will be banned for three matches, on the News this morning. Gibbs red card rescinded.

Debatable to me whether anyone should receive a ban for it
I've only seen one clip of it but to me it looked like the ball was going wide. I may be wrong but deliberate handball is only a sending off if it prevents what would have been a clear goal or denied an obvious goal scoring opportunity

Not matter Arsenal only have to turn up by all accounts, heard numerous so called expert pundits say "Arsenal's troubles will be forgotten as they'll win the FA Cup". I'm sure I heard something along those lines sometime last May but ****** if I can remember

Been following the Gunners fans website on the semi, a lot thought its Citie for the semi,that didn't happen, then some say a walkover against 'latics', Now they are starting to get concerned that we are going to turn them over, mutterings of This team are the holders and turned others over we had better be careful!!! Ummm getting worried are they, another embarrasment coming up they ask, we shall see, as we arent running scared it is the DW South were playing at.
