So, Arsenal host Everton early on Saturday afternoon in the F.A Cup Quarter Final. I really, really want us to win this one as for me the F.A Cup is the only competition I believe we can win this year. The Premier League collapse looks on the cards again and bar a miracle, a successful CL campaign looks to be a pipedream.
Everton have been tough opponents for many this year, including us when they held us to a 1-1 draw in December. Martinez is doing a great job for Everton this year and a victory for them is very much a possibility, and you can bet he will pull out all of the stops to progress to the Semi-final.
Everything regarding Arsenal must be spot-on. The manager has to set the team up just right and the players must be fired up, yet in the zone, for this game is now the most important in our campaign to end the 8 year trophy drought. We can't afford any slip-ups or tactical negligence of which we have seen too much. We also cannot squander any chances we may get.
To many, this game may not look special at all. To an Arsenal fan, this means the world. This is now the game that decides whether we want to move onwards and upwards from the last 8 years, or whether we just celebrate capturing 4th place in May. Again. A loss this weekend, then for me this season is just like the last few, which is now getting tiring.
