Yeah we said that before and then we lost to them in the final in Contes first season.

I was gonna say we don’t wanna get cocky, they’ll probably be up for it. Hopefully we can make it Baku 2.0 but will be a difficult game.

Think it will be a tricky final unless the lads are really on their top game.  Got a feeling Arteta is getting this Arsenal side wound up as the final is their only chance of dignity this season is winning that cup.....mid table and nothing otherwise...not even saint totteringhams day...think we'll see some very energized Arsenal players.....hopefully Luiz is having a day?

Arsenal just did numbers on both Liverpool and City. You can be sure Arteta will have a plan for us. We just need to come up with a better one.

Think they will find us a harder prospect to prepare for as we change our formation more and rotate the payers more frequently. 

Not sure if already posted. A BBC poll about new kits.  Might treat myself to the Loch Ness FC shirt!

So it looks like West Ham will be leaving the London Stadium.

Oh it’s absolutely all they have to play for, I’m hoping they get complacent cause their next two games are really dead rubbers.

Yeah that’s my thought process too, think we need a plan that’s better than theirs cause I think they’ll set up exactly as they did against Man City. 

f**king crazy. I looked at the table this afternoon and thought "hmm if Villa nick a narrow win against Arsenal and City batter Watford, then Villa will overtake them." 

And it actually happened...

I should have placed a f**king bet.

*rubs temples* I think we'll draw, but I think that United might drop points too. It depends on West Ham, they're in good form, Antonio especially... but they're safe so they might not be as up for it. Moysie will wanna get one over them though.

im feeling draw as well...i also agree about united, moyes will take this as his world cup final haha

I think Utd will win despite Moyes returning. 

I see Moyes as a manager that get results at home rarely on the road and after us dumping Utd out of the cup see them as being determined to get a result tonight. 

I've got no idea how this team is fighting relegation:

I think they've got a better squad than Leicester, Wolves & Sheffield, maybe not the best starting 11 but definitely as a squad they are better.

this tweet explains a bit of it:

 

Well on the first few minutes performance I can't see WH doing much; letting Utd have the ball at will and giving them so much room to play.  I was expecting more.

I think the plan will be to stay compact first half and not lose any ground to United and hope fatigue sets in the 2nd half. 

Poor Oly really looks panicked.

That has to be a penalty and red card!

penalty whu

Get in 

Is that not a red card offence anymore? He deliberately stopped that?? 

What was Pogba possibly thinking palming that one away?

Why did VAR need so many looks at it?

One look was enough.

Lovely that West Ham scored, even though it’s likely they won’t win it at least gives us a glimmer of hope.
