So now we're down to the semi-finals:

Arsenal v Tottenham
Chelsea v Everton

A repeat of last year's final is on the cards, but this time I think the Arsenal kids can do it.

I'm thinking the same but not 3-1, 2-0 instead. Arsenal & Chelsea to concentrate on bigger prizes by their standards

Well it's up for grabs now. Still on the day it's eleven against eleven. And remembering that it's the same for both sides. A good combination of youth and experience could see a side through.
 
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Arsenals youth team triumph over SP*rs in the semis AGAIN to make a remtach of last years final.
The gooners come out on top with Fabregas coming on in the last minute to put Fat Lampard and C*shley C*nt on the treatment table next to that prick Terry.

No question that Moysie is. He has spent VERY little, 4th 2 years ago, 6th last year and probably top 4 this season.

Its no longer a problem.

I got those off a gentleman on arsenal-mania.com in a forum talking about average spending. That was in relation to Rafa saying his spending did not rival the 'other big clubs'
 
Great stats though...  who needs Visa Gold when you have Arsene?

Sorry, I should have specified: I meant the English Premier League, not the league of unemployed managers.

Chelsea v Everton first leg about to kick off.

I'm backing Everton for an easier final but wouldn't mind avenging last year's final loss to Chelsea either. Hopefully it's a good match, Everton will be hurting after the weekend but Chelsea are rock-solid at home.

64 mins: GOAL - YAKUBU. Everton are back in it. Hilario makes a right mess of McFadden's free-kick, and Yobo turns the ball back into the centre where it falls to Yakubu, who absolutely lashes the ball into the roof of the net. Great strike, and Everton right back in the tie.Toffeeman2008-01-09 10:13:56

78 mins: It's a cracking cup tie this, with both sides looking to take a lead into the second leg at Goodison. That looks like being a game worth watching.

Its no longer a problem.
