FA Cup 2014-15

Falcao was not even called from the bench amid United's increasing panic, which saw the great tactician Van Gaal end with the giant figures of Marouane Fellaini and Chris Smalling up front.

You know it's good when even the BBC take a jab at LVG

To be fair, Smalling does have more goals than Falcao for Utd

And Fellaini has the same amount of goals for Utd.

Smalling and Fellaini looked the most dangerous upfront , Lets not forget Arsenal barely got the victory but they did it finally.

Barely got a victory It was quite a comfortable victory in the end

Semi-Finals are set:
Reading vs Arsenal, Saturday 18 April,
Aston Villa vs Liverpool, Sunday 19 April

Gerrard 96th minute winner from 40 yards in the Final.

Bank on it. Written in the stars.

Ah in the stars... was wondering why I feel more likely to lose the semi than the final.

Like a true captain:

Rodgers said: “Jordan Henderson had to leave the hotel because his wife had a second child in the night, so he had to go away to the hospital and come back today – and obviously he didn’t have much sleep.

“Most players would have missed the game. But he said to me, ‘boss I’ll be back, as soon as the baby is out I’ll be back.’

“He was good to his word, he didn’t have any sleep, but he came back to the hotel straight away, had his lunch and a sleep, and then played like a real captain.”

Nice to see he's got his priorities straight.

Reading vs Arsenal
Steve Clarke side take a break from Championship struggles to continue in the Cup which also happens to be the competition in which they last won a game. They face Cup holders Arsenal who in contrast, have been in scintillating form recently. Arsenal are the best team in Europe in 2015 thus far. They have played some stunning Arsenal football recently (Liverpool game) and even have grafted out some results (Burnley, Newcastle, QPR). Everything points to a final in two successive seasons for Arsenal, but this is the Cup and anything happens and can happen in the Cup. Much will depend on Arsenal's start and overall approach to the game though you feel, as they are superior in almost all departments over their opposition today. Arsenal didn't have it smooth sailing last year in the two matches at Wembley, will they slide more easily this time around?

Aston Villa vs Liverpool
All hail Tim Sherwood!
The new Villa manager has come in at a tough time and has seemingly all but achieved his ultimate short term goal of keeping Villa up if you look at momentum and what the media say. Focus shifts to the Cup this time around and a test against Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool side who experienced highs and lows in recent weeks. After two successive disappointing losses in the league against Top 4 rivals Man Utd and Arsenal, Liverpool has seen their hopes for Champions League football fading away somewhat, they bounced back with a not-so-convincing 1-0 win over troubled Newcastle United. Momentum says Villa, but Liverpool will want to win the Cup with the incentives being they might fail to make the top 4 this season and would like to make it up with a Cup truimph, and that the final will literally be their long time captain, stalwart and legend Steven Gerrard's last game in The Reds shirt. So expect this one to meaty and gritty and tightly contested.

What a performance by Ozil. World Class player.

Has taken us to another level since coming back from injury.

Reading's prehistoric tactics weren't enough to pull some sort of surprise. Hope they get relegated. Awful team.

We weren't that great really tbh. Too slow at times. Lucky to get that winner, but I ain't complaining.

So Arsenal played today..

Didnt even realize.

Benteke

BENTEKEEEEEEE

Tank ffs

Not sure if Benteke or prime Henry

Whose this Grealish lad? looks good who ever he is.

DuringTheWar used to hype him

Gerrard has the best seat in the house. He gets to watch the game from inside the pitch ffs. Ultimate fans experience package. I wish I was rich enough to afford it.

Yup, seems like a smart player.

Lmao is Benteke hurt or what? Pool passed the ball in his face about 5 times he didn't even move.

Super Mario got this

Congratulations Arsenal on winning the FA Cup 2014/15
