Today I sat down with Robbie from Arsenal Fan TV to get his thoughts on tomorrow’s FA cup final. With so much anticipation I thought I would take a chance and interview Robbie from Arsenal Fan TV which has been key in getting the fans opinions across to everybody.
The interview started by getting Robbie’s thought on the final itself and he summed it up wonderfully “I am feeling confident that we can win. If we turn up with the right attitude and impose ourselves on Hull we should win. However if we take them lightly and get complacent we could easily slip up”
This led me in brilliantly to my next questions. I wanted to know Robbie’s thoughts about how pivotal he thought the game was on Wenger’s reign and if this was one of the biggest games in Arsenal’s history.
Robbie responded “If he loses he may walk but if he wins he will sign a new two year contract so this game is massive for him.”
“Possibly because I am sure a win will bring about a change in our fortunes. It will change the mentality at the club. We haven't won anything for so long that we have almost forgotten how to win.”
I then asked if winning the FA cup could lead us into a new era. Robbie was confident in his answer “It will definitely lead us into a new era. Let’s win the cup and then bring in 3 world class players and we can challenge for the league.”
Team selection will be important tomorrow and there are two key decisions, the first in goal and the second who plays upfront. Fabianski has been the cup goalkeeper and Sanogo has played upfront deputising for Giroud. “Fabianski in goal because he has been excellent in the cup and Giroud up front. Giroud is back on form and with Ramsey and Ozil behind him I can see him doing damage tomorrow.” I would do the same if I was in charge as Fabianski has been outstanding in this cup run and Giroud has shown he can score goals this year and has been in form which means he deserves to play in my opinion.
I had to ask about this potentially being Sagna’s last game as he has been a wonderful servant but Robbie sounded positive moving forward which again I don’t think you can argue with “I think he will go. I will be upset if he goes to City. However it is not the end of the world if he leaves. We can bring in Serge Aurier who looks an excellent player and we still have Carl Jenkinson who I think will become a top player if given a run of games.”
I had to add a sneaky question in there about his highlight of the cup run and I’m sure this won’t shock you as this will nearly be everybody’s highlight “Theo's 2 nil gesture to the Spurs fans when he was being stretchered off. Officially made him an Arsenal legend.”
The final questions which I asked were how he would rate the season if we are to win the cup which he rated well and then I asked him for his prediction which he responded 3-0.
It was clear to see Robbie was confident but also urged on the side of caution if the players get complacent. Moving forward it seems important that we win the cup so that the squad get their winning mentality back and I agree that Jenkinson can become a very good player at this football club. All we can hope now is that the players deliver on the pitch and have the right attitude for the final as this is the FA cup and anything can happen.
