I don’t think I’ll ever forget how insufferable the gooners were in the early to mid 2000s from a previous forum I used to frequent. They used to tantrum like a 4 year old if a team dared to park a bus against them and be physical against them, and just would not shut the feck up making biased comparisons for their players and the other teams players, and would barge into such discussions not even involving their sacred team and must find some way to make it all about them.

I don’t give two fecks about Quincy Owusu-Abeyie being the next Henry, as a Newcastle fan and a Utd fan politely debate whether Bellamy or Forlan of the two are better at the time. It wasnt like one person either, it was dozens of them across multiple forums.

So based on that, go Chelsea :)
The first paragraph is an accurate description of pretty much every football fan. Maybe you just recognise your faults reflected in others? “It’s not the mote in my eye but the beam in yours.”

Arsenal to win. 2-1 for them.

They turn into prime Pep's Barca in these Fa cup games.

I want Arsenal to win it. Still angry about Chelsea knocking us out.
Arsenal did help us to knock City out so give them the title and Europa league.

Hope Gunners stuff the rent boys hard. I've seen too many insufferable Chelsea fans claiming they had a better season than us because they are gonna win the FA Cup after beating us directly. (They believe we will not win the Europa League)

It's difficult to settle on which team I despise more, but the hilarity of the AFTV fallout, should Arse lose, just about swings my support in Chelsea's favour.

Hope Chelsea wins at Arse fans are insufferable. Popping out of the woodwork whenever they win, only to crawl back in the next time they lose.

Troopz before the game; "we're gonna merk this lot, Aubamabloodclaatyang, 3-0 easy"

Troopz after the game; " "What did I tell you Robbie? They're not good enough. Look how much this club is putting man through. I've had enough"

Would like Arsenal win their 14th FA Cup. Pretty impressive.

Not bothered to be honest. We stoped taking that competition seroiusly since 2004. I didn't like it but its the truth. We only have oureselves to blame if Arsenal go 2 up

Despite the Chelsea fans on here I want Chelsea to win, well actually I want both teams to loose but that ain't happening

It'll be an Arsenal win though and the only thing AFTV will care about is how Arteta has won a trophy before Ole (or Lampard)

Arsenal have a lot more to lose in this game. No Europe, no money, no "big" signings. I think this will be a very tense and ugly game. Hopefully the spirit of the FA Cup carries us over the line. :nervous:

I personally think that national cup competitions are absolutely worthless, so I don't care if Arsenal have two more than us.
Don't like Chelsea, so I'm supporting Arsenal.

Looking forward to this, see it as near 50/50 despite (us) Chelsea being better in the league this season. Neither team is very good defensively but have some real quality in forward areas, so should be a decent game with loads of goals. Despite it being pretty weird for the players in a massive stadium like Wembley with no crowd.

Good warm up for us preparing to overturn 3 0 deficit away against Bayern the week after as well :lol:

They were able to beat Manchester City to get into the final, so I am not confident as usual against Arsenal. They can really exploit our defense especially if Kepa was to start.

Well you were the team that thought it not important enough to compete one year

I don't think I'll be watching, but it's going to be weird having a final with no fans. You get used to it during league games and cup games leading up to a final, but seeing a team lift the trophy in an empty stadium kinda takes away from the feeling that this is a final.

I'm sure that won't matter to whoever wins, and it wouldn't have mattered to me had United got there, but, from an outsiders pov, it does play a part in the excitement and whatnot. To me, anyway. Still, it's for the best.

That's not completley true since the Fa wasn't really keen on moving our Fa cup fixture to some other date due to the World club cup in 99.

This is a really good point - think about how awful it'd be to give that fanbase which is among the most insufferable in the world anything resembling bragging rights!

Surely all of us respectful Chelsea fans would refrain from giving you the bigun. Do what's right! Root for Chelsea!!! Disregard how slimy you might feel; this is a natural side effect!

Time and time again in football, the team that really need the win, get it. Arsenal really need this I feel and I think they will win.

I feel bad for their genuine fans, it’s quite clear and remarkable how much damage AFTV has done to the club in the eyes of rival fans. They must absolutely hate the sight of them. Makes a mockery of them. I’m surprised Robbie hasn’t got more pressure put on him to be honest.

I dunno about you guys but after watching Troopz being so overconfident and smug in that video I'm gonna be supporting Chelsea, despite how bad some Chelsea oppo's have been recently.

You would have thought he'd have learned his lesson after Baku.

One of the Arsenal fans in some fan channel was even arguing if they win the FA cup they would have had a better season than City, United and Chelsea.
