I defo would love to be drawn to ManUre, they got lucky earlier this season that they fought us when we have an illness outbreak and we have to prove our superiority against them. Chances are they will focus on securing their league position and getting far in the CL anyway and won't give as much attention to the FA Cup so I don't see much reason to fear them even at Old Toilet.

I thought Monreal played brilliantly well. Defensively he was sound, made a couple of key interceptions. You can tell he's technically gifted going forward too, he gets his head up a lot when he gets to the byline which is always promising. I also thought he passed the 'Lennon test' with flying colours. In the first half Tottenham obviously tried to exploit the right hand side with Lennon and Walker to no avail, we dealt well with Tottenham and they rarely ever looked threatening.

Yep agreed. Great game from Monreal. He's got tremendous energy and great technique. Really like this player.

Indeed.
Going to be tough, that.

Everyone will have an opinion on whether Theo's indiscretions constitute a rule break or not. It won't stop the inevitable though i.e. the FA charging him and banning him for his troubles. My concern at the time was that it took attention away from the football, reduced us to ten men and from previous history it could've easily been terminal for us. But feck it just like the pope told them ( :wink: ), we won. This may well be a free ticket to ending the trophy drought.

Just went through the famous Adebayor incident back in 2009, and saw he was banned for two games and fined 25k for celebrating in front of our fans, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if the FA decided to ban Theo too.

However, if he gets as many matches as Jack did for his offensive gesture, the FA can **** right off.

If it was the post 2006, pre 2013 squad, this would not seem too funny, but I guess we all agree that this current squad is made of much sterner stuff. So yeah, I'll have a chuckle or two over the remark,...

 

[CandysRoom]

Out of curiosity, where was Podolski last night?

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

On the bench.

 

[CandysRoom]

Oh good. Was worried he was injured/ill again when i noticed no involvement!

 

[blaze_of_glory]

I think he might have come on if we hadn't had all the injuries.

 

[Jasard]

I think Theo would have gone off and not got injured if TV didnt have to go off.

Different circumstances so I'm not too sure. Maybe a monetary fine but as he was already off the pitch and it wasn't a goal celebration, I don't think the same rules apply.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Even if Theo gets a suspension, he's gonna miss a couple games through injury most likely anyway.

 

[yuvken]

I guess Coventry at home is even better than ManU (though it's close). No complaints.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Would've preferred Man Utd but, Coventry is good too I suppose.
