West Ham vs. Arsenal

2-1, the FA Cup, Upton Park, 3/1 -10
Ramsey 78,
Eduardo 83

After a completely rubbish first half we only got better and better, not least thanks to Diaby and Nasri who came in for Merida and Wilshere in the second.
There isn't really much to take from the first half, except that West Ham grabbed a goal in the 47th minute..

But after that things only got better, Nasri and Diaby really was the injection that we needed, and we gradually got back to our game, with a great chance for Diaby and then Song on the rebound.
Robert Green had a great game, but when the game was approaching 70 minutes, they just couldn't keep up anymore and after some great passing in the box Ramsey got the chance he needed and beautifully smashed it in!!
And just five minutes later Vela crossed deliciously to Eduardo, who headed the ball straight to the top corner of the goal, and Green couldn't keep it out!!
After that we just dug in and had some great chances, but we're in the 4th round!!

And in the 4th round we will travel to Stoke of all places! We haven't had any luck in the FA cup draw so far this season! But there will hopefully be more chance for luck in the FA cup this season.

Injury Update:
-Arshavin has picked up a slight problem with his foot, he could be back for the Bolton game.
-Denilson has a chance to return for the Bolton game, after picking up a back injury against Villa.
