What I enjoyed about it most is that it wasn’t a fluke win. Yes, Arsenal were a different class. But we had the better chances, defended better than them and we out coached them. All credit to Tonda, the coaching team and the players. We have steadily built up a belief in ourselves that has been missing for a while. I said earlier that giving it our best shot would be good for the club. They did and it is.

A great all round team performance today but a special shout out to Tonda who has done a terrific job since he took over.

Anyone wishing we had played a weakened side tonight?

Again you missed the point but hey go. Yes, knives bad. This is about the increase in knife crime over the last few years and the prevalence of knife crime amongst young people which may now involve gun crimes too. A while back I was slagged off for not posting links when I made points, so now I do. Read them. Don’t read them. Who cares? I’m sure the majority of people who read these threads don’t bother to read them but don’t feel the need to make an issue about it. As for the people I wind up, it is the same old crowd of usual suspects the vast majority of the time, so I can live with that. You know, the sort of people who don’t have a problem with the number of Muslims murdered in Gaza because they, apparently, are all culpable for the actions of Hamas. Or the sort of people who make crass comments about the skin colour of a kid recently shot dead. As I said before, if you don’t like my posts, don’t read them. I have been posting here for the best part of 20 years, you have had plenty of opportunities to hit the ignore button. Or maybe you just get your jollies by slagging other people off?

Darth Vader?

Just imagine the lift that beating Arsenal and playing in an FA Cup Semi Final would give the whole club. It’s a no brainer. Play the best team and give it your best shot. Worry about the next game afterwards.

Why do you get so upset about these things? This thread is about things that have gone wrong with this country. The amount of knife crime, especially amongst young people, has grown enormously since the 1980’s. People post news stories on here all the time in relation to the threads. Does every one of them think that people on here don’t see the news elsewhere? You are just desperate to score points as proven by your crass comment about the colour of the victim’s skin. I added the stabbing story to my previous post because I had just seen the news and it shows that these murders are becoming a regular occurrence. If my posts wind you up so much, perhaps ignore me? Long-term increase: Knife crime and knife-related convictions have risen sharply over the past 15 years, with reports suggesting a 58% increase over that period.

Why, what difference would that make? Still, you got a like from hypochondriac so you must be pleased with yourself. Well done. Another stabbing… https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/whitstable-belmont-road-stabbing-murder-b2951462.html

It was bad enough when the kids were stabbing each other. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/apr/03/three-teenagers-arrested-after-14-year-old-boy-shot-dead-in-south-east-london

The Art of the Deal. The father wages war on Iran causing Iran to retaliate. His sons sell defensive military hardware to countries being attacked by Iran. Not a business model you would find on The Apprentice but I wonder if they got the idea from Catch 22? https://apnews.com/article/trump-sons-powerus-drone-interceptors-iran-missiles-1d8d858fdad5104a56e4438994093594

The Last One Laughing series 2. I don’t know what it is about watching people trying not to laugh (think back to the Biggus Dickus sketch in The Life of Brian) but this show just cracks me up. In a world where there isn’t much tolaugh about these days this comes as a blessed release.
