Was just starting to get into 'Better get a Travelodge' territory.

I don't think the Saliba one should've stood, that wasn't a stutter, he stopped completely.

[Meanwood Villa]

I'd rather Palace would have made it not a complete ****** semi final lineup but there you go.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

To me Saliba didn’t look confident but ticked it away nicely. Some good penalties amongst that lot.

[PeterWithesShin]

I'd rather Chelsea and Arsenal go at it over two legs.

[Flamingo Lane]

Adam Wharton is a cracking player.  What I call a proper footballer.

[Brend'Watkins]

Yes it’s very rewarding to reach a semi final of the lowest ranked domestic cup competition. Can’t imagine it’s that important to the Arsenal mind given their aspirations. Players were happy though.

[Villa Lew]

It's totally unfair Arsenal get the advantage of taking the first pen and also taking the pens at their own fans end.

It's totally unfair Arsenal get the advantage of taking the first pen and also taking the pens at their own fans end.

But that's the just the luck of two coin tosses to decide the end, and which team goes first.

[cdbearsfan]

I'm sure it used to just be one coin toss, and if you choose ends the other team has the benefit of choosing whether to go first and vice versa. That seems a fairer system.

[lovejoy]

Going first is a big advantage, they should have stuck with ABBA.

[cdbearsfan]

I agree on principal but they should have thought of a different name because it encourages people to be tedious twats.

[Brazilian Villain]

I think it's an ideal name because in penalty shootouts the winner takes it all.

[cdbearsfan]

I told you so.

I remember when Arsenal under Wenger got to the final playing mostly with reserves and youth.
