If Wenger has any self respect he should resign immediately.

Hope Bradford win the thing now, congrats.

What makes the victory all the more sweeter is there's no excuses Arsenal can spurt out. They had literally their first team out, the pitch was fine and there was no controversial decisions. We did what he had to do, we worked and defended well.

Just hope Chelsea go through now and we draw them. Don't fancy going out to an Aston Villa or 'Boro after the elation of winning this.

Even as a Bradford fan I wouldn't have minded us going out if it meant Arsenal would end the trophy drought, but hey ho.

I actually felt for Arsene tonight, he put out literally his strongest side and they gave him nothing back. Wilshere looked to be trying his bollocks off and if the rest of the team had his urgency then they may have won tonight. I admire that Arsene wants to defend his players but you just went out to a League 2 club for fucks sake, how about you call a spade a spade and say it was a disgraceful night for the club without taking anything from us Bradford lot. People may actually get a shred of respect back for him then instead of pretending everything is fine and dandy.

Well done tonight Dale, but don't insult my team, even after knocking out Arsenal it would still be an upset to knock out any PL side and that includes us.

I am over the moon, was really dreading the Norwich tie with them being flying in the league and also being so strong at home. Sounds like a cracking game, guess we rode our lack early in the second half, with Morrison's miss and then disallowed goal, but overall I think we deserved it, playing some good football, and defending well too. Just a different team in the cup, but already with this cup run alone Lambert has done better than McClish. Just need Leeds to knock Chelsea out now that would be awesome!

Paul Lambert seems like a fucking blueberry.

Clearly theres something up when you are leaving a £24m England international on the bench for a guy whos scored once this calendar year, yet he gets all pissy panties when asked about it.

Not even a Villa fan but jesus, their team looks the dregs. Benteke does look dece tbf but guys like Baker, Westwood and Lichaj? GTFO.

Don't take it out on me just because you are unhappy with your own teams form, besides two points to make, first Arsenal have always been a big supporter of youth which is something I am sure you approve off, so why not in our case? And Bent went off early tonight and we beat Norwich 4-1 so we can't be that bad without him.

Don't get your knickers in a twist there sweetheart, where did I say it wouldn't be an upset to knock out any Premier League side? You may not want or like to hear this, but drawing Aston Villa isn't a glamorous tie especially at this stage of the cup, they're not a team that will have the fans excited and flocking to the ticket office. If we were to draw you guys, dare I say the reason our fans will attend is out of hope of knocking you guys out after what we did to Arsenal.

Chelsea are a massive draw like Arsenal are, Leeds too because of the Yorkshire rivalry but the rest of the teams aren't

I get what you mean, but don't forget you are now in the semi's meaning you must be looking to at least make the final, and therefore hoping to get the best possible draw to give you a chance of doing so. I get that promotion is your main aim, but when you get this far in the cup its not really about glamour ties anymore.

As a League 2 club it is all about the glamour ties because they bring in big revenue for us. Regardless of who we draw next we will be the underdogs and be expected to go out of the competition which is why it would be best for us as a club to draw the winner of Chelsea/Leeds.

Really Arsenal, really? What the hell is going on with that club? From Invincibles to invisibles in the sense that they're so poor no one sees them as a contender any more. How the mighty have fallen.

Pissy supporter who doesn't know he was born, where would they be without Wenger? Should blame directors if anyone.

Nobody knows, it's purely hypothetical but you can easily flip it around, look at how things have been going downhill for years and ask 'Where is Wenger taking them now?'

Also, he's an ex-player not supporter.

Why do you keep defending Wenger? How the fuck is he going to magically turn things round even if Arsenal get more money? He hasn't won a trophy for 7 damn years and you solely blame this on the board? Wenger is a legend no doubt but he's PAST IT now as a manager and the fact he's refusing to blame his players for a defeat to LEAGUE TWO, yes, LEAGUE TWO Bradford just proves how deluded he's become. It sounds harsh but I think old age is getting to him. He clearly doesn't have the tactics any more.

I agree w/ Dale, can't keep him around as an ornament just because he did good things a decade ago, every manager and player has a shelf life.

Also decided I'm not gonna renew my season ticket no matter what happens from now until the end of the season, it's pathetic and I dont feel like spending nearly a grand to watch a team of also-rans waiting for their move to a Manchester club.

Really hope Wenger decides to leave at the end of this season rather than have to sack him, but his contract doesn't finish until the end of next season. If they give him a new one I will lose my shit.

Also re; paper rumours, I would swap Walcott for Nani any day of the week. Nani always rips us to shreds when he plays us, the things Walcott has done in his Arsenal career I can count on one hand.
