    That's a loverleee photo. That bloke holding his bowler looks familiar. A pint to the first person who can ID him.

    As for Wembalee, I'm a traditionalist in that I don't think the semis should be there. It takes away from the specialness of making it there, only for a FINAL.

    "We're going to Wembalee, we're going to Wembalee, and now you're gonna believe us, now you're gonna believe us, now you're gonna believe usssssssssssssss..."

    It just doesn't have the same power when you're singing about a semi-final.

    In any case...

    COYG!!!!

    Will it be on Fox Sports 1 or will it be relegated to Fox Sports 2? And if we have to use a Fox announcer for either this tilt or the FA Cup Final may it please be John Strong and not Gus Johnson, please for the love of God, if we can't get Martin Tyler than let it be John Strong, he did a hell of a job with NBCSN's coverage of the MLS the past 3 years and has obviously not lost a step since both he and the MLS traveled to Fox. Hell, he's even better than J.P. Dellacamera, who to me sounds too dull and not really into the match like John Strong is.

    No. They pulled him after last season.

    Can we talk about how insufferable the Men in Blazers are? Their show is awful. I think they're very good when they're unscripted, as they're eloquent and passionate, which are two rarely matched traits. When they have time to write scripts they're terrible. It's self-referential to the max and also tried to be both ironically and genuinely noble. They also have about 12 different sign-off messages, each of which stems from an inside joke. If you give them more than 10 minutes to think about what they're going to say the quality drops exponentially.

    You had me at semis !!
    Yep...only the final should take place at Wembley for us old purists.
    Alas, the amount of money to build the new Wembley on the old Wembley
    still has to be repaid to the effin F.A.
    and don't even get me started on how much I hate that old boys brigade !!

    New member, long time lurker first time poster...

    Hopefully this isn't as complicated as the last semi-final...however Reading were unlucky to not get a draw against Championship leaders Bournemouth last night. We should have too much for them, a win to nil for me - 3-0.

    Sometimes it can get kinda "mazzo" here, I once heard George Carlin use that word to describe someone who is a bit off his rocker, kinda like me (self-admitted) when I put up a post, even if it's not Cindy Margolis-related, and sometime even when its backing up The Arsenal, but, at least I'm not as unbearable to hear/read like Gus Johnson is/was when he did the past two FA Cup Finals, thank God someone else (hopefully Martin Tyler) will do a better job than GuJo ever did, perhaps John Strong who is calling the USA/Mexico tilt in San Antonio right now on FS1 (DISH channel 150) and who has done MLS matches for the past 3 years (and a great job of doing them at that!!! :) ) will be a much needed improvement as I find J.P. Dellacamera to be just too dull sounding and not into it.

    A new chant for all my fellow Gooners:

    WEM-B-LEY!
    WEM-B-LEY!
    We are Arsene Wenger's Gunners and we're goin' to Wem-b-ley!

    (sing along everybody)

    WEM-B-LEY!
    WEM-B-LEY!
    We are Arsene Wenger's Gunners and we're goin' to Wem-b-ley!

    WEM-B-LEY!
    WEM-B-LEY!
    We are Arsene Wenger's Gunners and we're goin' to Wem-b-ley!

    WEM-B-LEY!
    WEM-B-LEY!
    We are Arsene Wenger's Gunners and we're goin' to Wem-b-ley!

    (repeat as needed)

    Piss on United!!!

    I don't want any nasty replies from any Man United Red Army douchebags on this one!!! You're all jealous because we're going to WEM-B-LEY AND YOU'RE NOT!!! GO ARSENAL!!!

    No Sir Alex = No trophies bitches!!! Wayne Rooney can go suck one!!!

    I'm away in philly/swarthmore at match time. Supposedly it's gonna be streamed on FS Go app on my iphone.

    Have any of you had any experience streaming with this app? Is it generally reliable? Does it give you probs if you leave your home zipcode?
