All logic points to a comfortable Arsenal win; anything less than 3-0 will be a moral victory for us.

However.........funny things have happened in the Cup before; if we can keep it 0-0 until half-time we have a chance. Then all it would take is a corner, or a free kick and we might nick a goal.

3-1 Arsenal. Late consolation from Hal after Sanchez/Ozil/Cazorla rip us apart in the first half

I think it might be a bit tighter than some think for while, but we will run out of steam having been chasing shadows with 25% possession.
0-2 defeat after hanging on for an hour or so. Probably a dodgy pen followed by one on the break when we finally discover their box.

Will be happy if they don't score in the first 15-20

FFS I hope the team don't see this thread. We may lose but lets put up some fight on here eh?

I predict that we will put up as big a fight as we can, huge game, 32k fans will not be let down by a pussy performance and if we can keep it tight first 20 mins then nick a set piece goal who knows.

Since when have we had big teams put tons past us? Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool when they beat us recently only won by very few. In that case, my heart opts for 2-1 to Reading AET, but my head says 2-1 to Arseanal.

I also think this game will be tighter than most make out.

Arsenal 1-0 winners

Still think Arseanal will play a half-arsed team with a quote on quote "title decider" coming up against a team 7 points and a game in hand in front of them. Also, Hope I'm not the only one whose noticed this... :lol:

Reading start off at a crazy pace and dominate play for the first 20 mins. Arsenal then hit us on the counter attack

0-1, 21st min

Reading heads go down a bit but push on again . Arsenal score just before half time.

0-2 44th min.

Second half starts and Arsenal sit back for first 15 min. Reading throw men forward and get a goal.

1-2 59th min.

Arsenal start playing again and score within 5 mins.

1-3 63rd min.

Arsenal push on and quickly score a 4th.

1-4 67th min.

Arsenal sit back, happy with the result. Clarke throws on subs but with little effect. Arsenal score again late on.

1-5 full time.

Since about almost every time we've played Arsenal.

Eh, true, but it does annoy me how one sided people expect this to be. As I said, Arseanal will likely play a half arsed team for the Cup and upcoming Chelsea game.

I just want use to score a meaningful goal so we all have at least something to celebrate on the day.

I'll go 3-1 to Arsenal.

Not many teams have the uncanny ability to throw away a lead in big games the way Reading do either.

Federici must have woken up this morning thinking he could easily see 5-10 goals go past him by the end of this week - he's got a tough gig.

Can't see Wenger worrying too much about the Chelsea game, they've got just over a week to plan for that after Sat haven't they? No way he'll risk getting lynched if they mooch about against us and get caught out.

3-0 to Arsenal most likely - anything by the odd goal would be a decent showing from Reading.

Oh and not many teams let Santi Cazorla, or "Carzola" as Ady Williams calls him, score a header against them.
