You get the sense that this trophy could well decide Arne's future here, given before a ball was kicked most neutral observers fancied us for the treble you'd think a top 4 finish isn't going to be enough to save him, top 4 plus a trophy would probably do it, if we finish the season with a victorious day out in North London having already secured a top 4 finish i dont think there'd be enough anger amongst the fan base to sack him, there'd probably be enough of a feel good factor in the air to save him,
For Arne personally, a bit like what happened with Alex Ferguson actually, the FA Cup saved his ar.se back in the day, i think tonights game is massive.

Hmmm ? 
Tonights game aside,  winning the FA Cup but failing to finish in the top four wouldn't give me any reason to assume a  "feel good factor" .
I would of course celebrate a trophy of any kind BUT winning the FA Cup is still far from guaranteed. League performance and automatic qualification for the Champions league in terms of prestige and the money it brings is what counts. 

Oh if he doesnt get top 4 he's undoubtably gone,  what i'm saying mate is i think he needs more than a top 4 four finish, given we won the league last year and the players we recruited i think to remain manager he needs a trophy as well. Even if we didnt spend a penny you wouldnt expect to go from 1st to 5th, i dont think a top four finish is enough.

Allison, szob, konate, Virg, kerkhez, Jones, Mac, salah, wirtz, chiesa and Gakpo!!

1 up Jones. Good cross from Kerkhez and easy finish from 6 yds 

Almost stained our good first half in those final 5 minutes but luckly we remain in the lead. We played some good high pressure in this one thus far, need more of the same in the second half. Don't know why we don't press like this more often.

Super assist from Salah

Super finish from Szob  2.0

And a very well taken goal from Szobo

Brighton bringing on some pretty decent subs. This will get interesting....

Well taken peno Mo. 3-0

Ah damn, why don't we have VAR in this competition? Very nice goal for young Rio wrongly called off.

Balls! I go for a hit 'n miss and didn't see that 

Is Rio really marking Dunk at corners? 

Good win, fully deserved
