I've plugged this into a Logistic Regression (0=Loss after 120mins=pens/1=Win), controlling factors such as (but not exclusive to) current form, form vs opponents, distance from Wembley, determination of side, current ability of side, potential upset status, ability to win on a Saturday; and the conclusion is we are going to get absolutely dicked all ends up.

Even if I put NO factors in, we lose on alphabetical order.

I feel the only way to win this match is to visualise it beforehand. Like Homer Simpson taking on Drederick Tatum.

As long as we put up a decent fight and have at least 3 shots on target I won't mind. In my head I've already got 5-0 Arsenal. I guess if Arsenal have weak spots its probably being caught on the counter attack and probably Mertasucker and Bellendrin, the latter looks vulnerable to errors.

Aresenal will stop really trying once they are 4 or 5 clear.

Still, nice day out all round.

Im feeling good right now, Im going to say two things. Either Arsenal dominate the game and clinical finishing and beat us 7-0 or Arsenal dominate the game cant finish and we nick it late on 2-0.

8=0 to Arsenal. Do they have sofas at Wembley we can hide behind?

If we win a corner we should have an open top bus parade through the town.

Arsenal players already think they are in the final. ( so would I if I was them).

Royals play out of their skin and nick it 1 0 in the 95th min with a deflected drive from Mackie.


Dare to dream!



Or we get battered 5 0 and all have a great day out.

It's not unimaginable that Reading could give Arsenal a real good game.

If we can just score at least 1 goal more than them, then we will win. That gives me hope.

A draw would be good, force the replay back at our place.

Can't tell if you're joking!

Anyway there's obviously no replay, goes straight to extra time and then penalties.

Amazing

Really impressive that at 93 she still gets on the coach to Blackpool. Good on her

LOL

She is not the greatest admirer of the north London team nor of their manager, Arsène Wenger, a notoriously poor loser. “We call him ‘Arsène Whinger’,” Platten says. “Funny thing, it was in the paper the other day – ‘Whinger’. He’s always whinging, he’s always having a moan.” Platten laughs mischievously. As she does a lot.

She's like Spacey's spirit animal

There's something quite sexy about her. She's like Royal Lady's younger sister or something.

Does it say if she's married or courting at present?

Anyone who doesn't think it will be an absolute thrashing is deluded, it's not like Arsenal are in a sticky patch - they are playing really well.

Having said that I'd guess the first goal will be a very dodgy penalty along with some totally bias officiating and play acting (our players really shouldn't be able to tackle a more skilful prem player) meaning we'll barely get a touch of the ball but Feds will have a great game.

Pearce will be shown up for the donkey he is, Gunts will allow every cross to come in, the midfield will run around a lot but barely get a touch and Pog up front will fall over at every opportunity as there's no support with 100yds. HRK if he plays wont even get a touch.

A shot on target is about my best hope while we lose 7-0
