FA Cup 5th Round

Let's see, the Arsenal team for the Spurs game was

Walcott Bendtner
Diaby Denilson Gilberto Hleb
Traore Gallas Sagna Hoyte
Fabianski

So the only differences in the outfield are Walcott started instead of Eduardo(but came on after 65 mins), Denilson started instead of Fabregas (but he came on after just 19 mins), Diaby started instead of Eboue (who are of similar ability) and Sagna started instead of Toure (both are one of our 3 best defenders) and Fabianski is arguably better than Lehmann these days - so like I said similar strength.

As for not taking it well, I'm sorry if I'm not gutted enough for you, but I'm much more interested in the Prem and the CL - just because it's United's best chance of silverware doesn't mean we all must covet it! I couldn't see us winning at OT twice this season and I'd much rather do it in the league to help seal the title - as we did to Spurs 3-1 even though we lost 5-1 in a domestic cup, which the Arsenal players and fans aren't that bothered with.

At the end of the day, the only reason Nani and Park looked good is because they were playing against sub-Derby standard full backs who were at fault for all the goals - I doubt you'd be crowing about beating Derby 4-0.

your post only serves to highlight the short comings of your own team. if you believe your reserve full backs are only good enough for derby, then I can only agree as I don't know enough about arsenal to say otherwise.
personally, I'm happy with Utd's reserves that played on the day, though they are often found to be lacking against more quality opposition.

the united team that played on saturday would kick most premiership teams ass, i know it wasnt the strongest side united have but they all worked extremely hard, always fighting for the ball, not letting arsenal play...and once united scored a few goal arsenal were totally lost, they couldnt get into it, they got out played completely! not enough teams are doing this right now thats why arsenal are top of the league, maybe other teams will look at what united did and start fighting for the ball again!!

To be fair to Tommo on Gillette Soccer Saturday he speaks a lot of sense about football and the Liverpool situation.
