My heart sank when I saw Martin Atkinson was going to referee this game but overall he did well (surprisingly since he's been the worst this season). Reading gave it a good go and it looked as though we were scared of another semi like the one against Wigan last season and actually, largely because of our performance, that's exactly the type of game we got. Ramsey on the right wing doesn't work. Wenger is going need to decide on 2 from Cazorla, Oezil and Ramsey instead of trying to fit them all in at the expense of genuine width, team balance etc. Hopefully Mertesacker's injury isn't bad. The defence were miles too open when he came on. Starting Debuchy and Gibbs was risky but all 's well that ends well I suppose. Hopefully we can retain the cup, I would prefer Liverpool in the final.
sczezsny always give me nervous whenever he plays. his reaction was no better than ospina or other keeper like begovic, adrian and foster . sczezsny lover will says the goal was deflected but he should do better.. he is like accident waiting to happen.. welbeck given chance at the middle but he always play at the wing what the hell? he need to be a real striker if given the chance, instead he seems happy to play second fiddle to giroud.. gibbs give away too much possesion.. those three players should reassess themself for arsenal final.. sanchez save the day.
lower clubs can't hold arsenal with ability they have in their midfield and their movement it will be easy game even if Wenger rest some of his main players
I hope there are plenty of goals in this game but nothing like the famous league cup tie we won 5-7. It was 5-5 at full time and 5-7 after extra time.
My prediction 1-3
@Overmars- That was a ridiculous game. Not meaning to quibble but it was actually 4-4 at full time, we were 4-0 down too. Really don't want another one of those! Lol
3-0 Arsenal minimum. Reading will likely make it difficult (defensively, physically) and look at set pieces to nick a goal. They have some pace but not he guile to score on the counter like so many prem & champions league teams have against us in the past. If we control the pace of the game, they should tire by the 70th minute mark so I wouldn't be surprised at a 5-0. Not being disrespectful to Reading because they've made it this far but class should tell especially given we're playing well atm. I don't want another Wigan, that's for damn sure!

Poor Frederici. Looked absolutely distraught after that.

@rdjet2008- Not many Arsenal fans I know rate Szczesny and the rumour is he'll be sold in the summer.
Mc.Aleer is clearly a Spuds fan if he predicts 0-2. Arsenal will put more than two past Reading.
@What4 tell me, how many goals did Arsenal score against Reading?
@BenMcAleer1 Fair enough mate :)
@What4 By the way, it's 1-1 at Newcastle :). COYG! Marching on to another FA Cup trophy!
@What4- He is actually. Lol
@SteveHyland Could have guessed it from his salivating praise of Danny Rose.
0-4 to Arsenal! Ozil ,Cazorla and Welbeck to score
should be an easy game for Wenger's men. 1-3
lower clubs can't hold arsenal with ability they have in their midfield and their movement it will be easy game even if Wenger rest some of his main players
hoping for a good football game
@albgunn The person who thumbed this down wants a crap game?

Oh and have gone for Ramsey MotM. His movement is world class, should be too much for Reading. Should! Ha
