SirBalon 2,692 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 A Championship side beating a side that plays like a Championship side... Well done Notts Forest! Rolls back the years and from a nostalgic point of view in memory of one of my favourite coaches ever I am happy for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaaay AFC 357 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 The second penalty decision for Forest was a shocker but Forest thoroughly deserved their win. That performance just typified Wenger's last 5 years or so, just an absolutely shambolic performance from start to finish. I can honestly say they may just be his worst ever game, I've never seen anything so bad in all honesty. Very disappointing to go out like that but congratulations to Forest. 4 minutes ago, 6666 said: Well, at least now I can point and laugh at people that said The FA Cup doesn't mean much now having a meltdown over our exit.

They’ve been European Champions, the best team in Europe twice. Arsenal have never achieved that accolade. That’s what football on the continent is measured by. Obviously I’m being facetious due to being annoyed and I know we’re on a different scale to them, but the fact remains... Football folklore in Europe is measured that way. Some may not like it and some probably won’t care, but it’s the way things are. But then again being insular has its benefits where we can enjoy success and believe it to be on a world scale. Maybe we can change the name of the FA CUP to the World Series Football Cup and call our eventual winners World Champions But only our lot play in it.

Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 We'll have to see how this pans out. If this is Wenger disregarding the Cup to concentrate on the Europa League to return to the Champions League, throwing a game against Forest in the FA Cup will be seen as a good decision by Wenger, if Wenger continues to play kids in the Europa League and they go out and Arsenal fail to make up the five point gap on Liverpool in fourth, he'll be looked at as more of a laughing stock than he already is.

Bluewolf 7,161 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 About right for Arsenal... Play well against us in the League then play crap against Forest and will probably go all out against us in the Cup now and play a blinder.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold on, but Forest made 6 changes of their own today which were apparently kids... I don’t follow the Championship all that much but that was a quote from one of that lot on BT Sport. I don’t know if the defeat is embarrassing or not considering all of this, but what’s for sure is that in this particular game this evening, the “second string” excuse can’t be used.
