Roy's View From... Arsenal Fans Reaction To The Quarter Final Draw

[LS16Blade]

Proceeding on the assumption that Derby don’t upset the odds tonight, Arsenal at home was, in my opinion, the best draw we could have got.

Wanted to be at home but didn’t want to be repeating a fixture that we have coming up in the league (as often seems to happen in the Cup). So, that ruled out Norwich and Chelsea.

Similarly, we have Newcastle in the league next week, and frankly, I’d be happy to never endure the tedious frustration of playing Steve Bruce’s Newcastle ever again, let alone suffer it twice in 2 weeks.

Man U is always an attractive fixture but we would be weakened by not being able to play our first choice goalkeeper.

Nobody wants to draw Man City. Obviously.

And, Leicester, are, well, Leicester. A bit of a nothing fixture and their fans might turn up with club-issue ‘clackers’.

So, Arsenal - a team that has shown very little in our 2 fixtures against them; hasn’t won many games this season; and which doesn’t travel particularly well - seemed to me, to be the best option.

“Decent, not in too good form Sheffield Utd!!”

 

[XM657]

Roy, Thank You. Sad to see so many fans, not supporters, moronic statements of such a historically iconic and successful club.

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

Still smarting from his roasting by Dane Whitehouse, Lee Dixon will know what they're up against.

 

[Grizzly blade]

To be fair, Arsenal should be coming to us as favourites with the players they have.
One of the best strikers in world football a couple of seasons back and also currently in good form....gradually growing some backbone since Arteta arrived...so will certainly be a different side to the one we beat at home.

Hope we go for it, pass the ball and look to get those centre halves up the field. We’ve been a little too direct lately for me, and it really just doesn’t see us at our best. If we do, could be a good open game with goals in it, and perhaps decided by the keepers and the strikers. By that, a keeper could have a worldy and strikers miss their chances for either side!
Let’s get into Europe by our own right...not because City are banned!

 

[John Street West Terrace]

I love these lads .. I think they’re great ... hope there’s another reality check in the waiting

 

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

Er dont read it if it bothers you.

Ha ha, readers wives springs to mind though, that might be interesting.

 

[NAP]

As long as David Luiz is playing, I’ll be happeh!

 

[sufcboy95]

Don’t think weve been “taken apart” since Middlesboro away last season. And that was more down to a pathetic performance from us

 

[CornwallBlade]

I didn't. I merely came here and posted my response.

Well don’t read the thread then. RGB is an absolute diamond providing a resource that we all find a massive bonus. Oh, I get it you’re just a sad little troll. OK I bit, now back to your homework before mummy tells you off.

Fulham away.

 

[I should coco]

Fulham away.

That was the season before as they were in the PL last year.

In the words of Barry Davies;
"An abysmally shit post, from a quality poster " or summat like that.....

Albert couldn't get in the pub or the ground!
That's something else, I have to laugh.
Fucking 'Albert', is he one of the queen's grandchildren or something?

We tore ourselves apart at Boro ,Fulham tore us apart.
An abysmally shit excuse in the words of Iggy Pop

 

[BigBed]

Good read that, cheers Roy!
God I so hope this is our highest scoring win of the season so far!!
COME ON BLADES!!!

 

[N20 Blade]

Surrounded by the self entitled c**ts down here, they love to whine and moan and the world is against us attitude, hopefully our wizards will rise to the challenge again! - send them back down here licking there wounds!

Agreed, the ones I know don’t rate Arteta and are pissed off. That said I’d sooner lose to the pigs than arsenal in the quarters living in n20. All the plastic fuckin fans who never go to games giving it large, couldn’t bear it.

 

[Auld Reekie Blade]

Cheers Roy.

Not sure what some of them are on. Maybe the mob at S6 are running a ‘county line’ in deludamol into London. I was at the Emirates for the Olympiacos game with an Arsenal supporting mate. I didn’t think much of either team tbh.

calm down, I’m far from trolling, just giving my opinion and responding to those who reply to me. Surprised I’ve not been tarnished with the “pig” tag that people like to throw around if someone’s doesn’t like what they’re reading.

That's my worry too, I am seriously out numbered 1 / 18 in my office which will not be fun if we lose, as even when we won it was all how we cheated and should have been a penalty and the rest of the shit, salty very salty are Arsenal fans

 

[Grecian2000]

Probably the best draw Arsenal could have hoped for

They should have been praying to avoid us until Wembley.

Four times, in my Blades supporting life, we've reached the Semi's, FOUR times that seasons FA Cup was won by Arsenal.

 

[Tarqs]

Having recently watched Arsenal obliterate both Olympiacos at home in the Europa League and Portsmouth away in the FA Cup, I’m fearful about what they’re going to do to us. Oh, wait........

Arteta has really got them playing some scintillating stuff.
