The four remaining sides fighting for the cup will be Wigin, Manchester United, Arsenal and Blackburn.

Goooo Wigan!

Didn't you say Go Doncaster?

Yep!

Im allowed another favourite now that Doncaster have been eliminated arent i?

Wigan would have beaten that team that Arsenal put out today, Wenger will have t add a couple more stars for the semi me thinks.

of course, you are allowed another, maybe even another after that.....

Well if Wigan get knocked out it will be Man U, whoever is playing Arsenal anyway.

i thought it was pretty imbarassing for Arsenal....even if you say well they were all reserve players...but still there is a certain expectation from the name "Arsenal" that you have to live up to ...if you lose to doncaster you'll never hear the end of it

Big Jono, you got a one track mind......

yes maybe we should be embarassed as bit but we are in the semis and thats all that matters really , winning . Chelsea are accused of grinding out results often but i bet you wont worry about that as long as you are still winning matches . Everyone would like to play attractive football all the time but it doesnt always happen that way in cup matches .
