SEMI-FINAL AT WEMBLEY UP FOR GRABS TONIGHT
Hello guys, hope you are having a fantastic start to the
week, well, first things first I want to apologize for being away for some time,
I don’t want to go details of what I was doing but it was for a good cause,
anyways back to business of the day, today, despite being a Monday but to
football fans all over the world, one cannot stop thinking of the big match
that is ahead of us tonight, Yes its Manchester United Against Arsenal Fc at
the theatre of dreams once again.

To all football fans, especially the staunch followers of these
two teams, it’s a very huge and important encounter, one that has come with a
lot of emotions tide to it. An FA cup quarter-final is always a pretty big
deal, the outcome of this game will have a far reaching impact to both teams,
it is their only realistic shot of lifting a trophy this season, they are also
involved in that all important top four trophy. Where I come from, it’s a lot of
miles from where the action will be taking place, but this match has had far
reaching impact and results of the outcomes has seen us witness a lot of weird cases
after the game, we’ve seen several cases of fans hanging themselves, one even
went to the extent of losing the whole family this coming after a bet that Arsenal
are going to win the match.

Having had their hands on the trophy last season and fans finally
fans having to test victory after a long spell of not winning a single trophy, the
gunners will fancy this chance again, they have added Sanchez on their book
this season so why not pull this one again, despite of all that at the Old Trafford,
the gunners have found it difficult to grind out results from there in fact
arsenal has registered only one win in the last 19 visits where Adebayo scored
from a Fabregas assist dating way back in 2006.
Speaking ahead of the game, Arsene Wenger wasn’t worried of
the home ground advantage to man united

“If I have learnt something in my life it is that performance
on the day decides the outcome of the day, not where you play, when the team is
not as good, they loose it doesn’t matter what shirt they wear, or what stadium
they play in, it is down to quality. ”

Last season when Arsenal was flying high could take
advantage of the weakest united team they could ever face. Whatever usually
goes on in the mind of Arsenal players when they step into the theatre of
dreams is a mystery that no one will solve anytime soon. This one has to change
this time round, it was possible at the Etihad, why not do it again?

Reading recent articles of people’s opinions about this
encounter, well, you will have to feel for arsenal players because clearly
everyone is on their neck where their own followers are not giving them a
chance against the old devils, on the other hand Manchester united former
players the likes of Paul Scholes, Ryan Gigs, Garry Neville are really having a
go at this arsenal football club that they have tormented over and over during
their time and in recent times, we’ve heard of how Ozil took the easier option
joining the red half of London, even the arsenal manager himself has been
talking to the press of how he’s still being tormented by that famous Ryan
Giggs goal at Highbury to knock arsenal out, and truly speaking who has forgotten
that goal? Giggs picking the ball and having a run at all defenders, then the
shirt removal celebration that followed!? that chest hair though!!!

On the
other hand we are not seeing arsenal players reacting to this game on their
social accounts, we only read of Rooney’s’, shaw,falcao, marias’ of this world
talking and tweeting.

A lot of memories come to mind thinking of this encounter
right from the famous Ryan Giggs goal to
Fergie tactics
of using the
Da Silva twin brothers to destroy arsenal, am trying as
much as possible not even to
mention the
8-2 drubbing, Ahem! but if theirs is that day that the gunners have been waiting to
change the history and put an end to all this talking going around, it’s today.

Whichever team the manager will put out, there will be a lot of talent and
quality, Arsenal have a good chance of writing off this tormenting talks once
and for all, and I think that day that everyone has been waiting is finally
here, the day when Giroud will kiss that budge infront of united stand, the day
ozil will make that assist of the season, the day when Alexis and Rosiscy will
dance through that United defence, apart from everyone else I have a good
feeling that today is that day, am not putting into account of the recent
arsenal good form and united winning matches by luck. United have to be
reminded the FA champions are in the hood

Their were concerns about who will be between the post when
they take on united because szczesny who has since seen his number one spot
handed to Ospina, had some illness but
after the test, he was passed to play this match, this is chance that he should
grab with both hands just to prove to people of what he’s capable. Ramsey was
introduced as a second half substitute at loftus road during their midweek 2-1
win over QPR, the manager will see his return as a boost and will go a long way
to balance the midfield, Ramsey is a machine in the middle of the pack and on
his day with his tireless runs and good positioning, he can inflict pain to
anyone. I think the manager will make those two changes but the rest are
expected to remain as they were in the previous match, my predicted arsenal
side to take on united is :
Sczsceny, Bellerin, mertasacker, Koscienly, Gibbs,
Coquelin, Ramsey, Ozil, Carzola, Alexis, and Giroud.
Their can also be a
surprise start for welbeck as the manager will want to use his better knowledge
of former home to haunt united side. This is a very good chance for arsenal to
put their woes against united behind.

All the best of luck to the boy, hope they give a very good
account of themselves, today will be a very fine day to deliver,see you during
the game time, have a nice day and a fabulous week ahead, see you tomorrow with
post match razor blade analysis of the match, this time arsenal please don’t
let us down, please.
