Arsenal DEFINITELY deserved to win on pens,

Arsenal 4 - 2 Sheff Utd (pens)

Arsenal showed a hell of a lot more attacking in this game then they did at
highbury, sheff prolly had the best chances in the 90 but arsenal definitely
dominated the game in general.

Personally I think a sheffield united player coulda drawn a gun and shot an
arsenal player and the freekick not be given or seen by the ref though. That
ref was utter shite.

but i think man of match was Paddy Kenny.

To be quite honest almunia saved it for arsenal, but come on, arsenal vs
sheff utd!! reigning premiership champions verses a medioka div1 team, it
shouldnt have even gone to a replay, quite frankly this is arsenals only
hope of silverware, injuries or no injuries they had so much more skill in
that team than sheff utd possess and i think its quite funny that it went to
pens.

it went to pens coz Sheff did what they did in the first leg, just kicked
Arsenal players on and off the ball hoping to gain a reaction. It's stupid
tactics and thankfully we ONCE again beat sheff utd in the cup. It's
becoming a tradition.

The Arsenal players cried foul every time there was a bit of contact -
but that's the way football is played in their division. Premiership
players need to play against teams like this once in a while to know
what playing football (the contact sport!) is all about!

Morgan was winding up the Arse players so easily!

Nice description of your mother Piv.

And i watched the game between A really shite first division team, and an
excellent premiership team, who couldn't shoot for toffee, but still
outplayed sheffield with possession at the final whistle being 70% Arsenal
30% Sheff.

It tends to be the case that players and teams of inferior ability just
kick and hack when they can't beat the other team.

I'm just guessing that the supporters of the non-league team would
disagree. It is there day and they always get shown, I'm surprised
anyone can put an argument against that.

Yes, pit they don't have good judgement as to what is the tie of the round!

I'd rather watch a better standard of football where there's a chance of an
upset rather than a one sided game where Hansen and co are patronising to
the non league side.
