I know it may be a bit presumptive and I don't mean to disrespect Millwall, but I would love to have Arsenal in the semi's, 91 was one of my favourite memories and I would love to see us finish Wenger off.




Lloris would have caught that with one hand, whilst lighting a Gitane with the other..................

I still want Klinsmann to face United in the 95 Final. It was meant to happen. Why didn't it happen?

Oh yeah, we fucked up the game before :(

Gerry Francis' kid was ill too, famously the team had no preparation for the game. And Amokachi must have been on some sort of PEDs.

As much as we dream we'll probably look back on this season as the one where Arsenal beat Huddersfield in the semi and Millwall in the final. That has been based as much in reality than most predictions.

Considering we've lost 6 FA Cup semi-finals in a row (of which I was at every one :(), the answer is no.

Let's get past Millwall first.

I remember when we played Portsmouth in the semi-final and there was a thread on here asking when final tickets went on sale...oh wait.

This thread probably should have been started by someone called remember93,95,99,01,10,12...

Been to the last four. Some depressing trips in there.

But first, who wants to list our quarter final fails?

If we both get through then it's nailed on we'll play each other in the semi final. Every time (that I can recall, at least) we've both been in the semis of either the FA or League Cup we've been drawn against each other at that stage.

Stay away if we get there.

I intend to this time. Said to myself after the Chelsea loss that I wouldn't go to another one for a while.

If we make it to the final though I'll be there. I have a 100% record:). Got to beat Millwall first though.

I was standing behind the goal at the Park Lane End back in 1971 on the night the fuquers won the league.

It don't get much worse than that, e jam, jam, scam and classless skullduggery by them ever since.
I was there too, Bob fucking Wilson won them that.

I'd have to say no. Would be even worse if it was the final. If it was Wengers last game in charge and they won we would never, ever hear the end of it. Also, we would have to play every game at Wembley next year with every team reminding us how much we f@@ked up against them at Wembley, so no thanks.

Christ! Have a bit of optimism you lot. We'll probably lose to Millwall so it won't be an issue.

@nightgoat, sorry couldn't quote you. In 99 we were kept apart in the Semi's. We lose 2-0 to Newcastle i think and Arsenal lost to Giggs wondergoal.

Yeah, you're right. Remember that ridiculous Dabizas handball that wasn't given in that game. We've played Arsenal in about five semi finals going back to '91 though.
