Gallas nets offside winner
William Gallas fired Arsenal to Wembley with a late winner as they beat Hull 2-1 in their FA Cup quarter-final at the Emirates Stadium.
Gallas, stripped of the captaincy earlier in the season, will not lead the team out against Chelsea but it was his header that sent them to their first trip to the national stadium in almost a decade.
Phil Brown's side had led through former Tottenham midfielder Nick Barmby but their attempt to soak up pressure and protect their lead lasted until the 74th minute when Robin van Persie rifled home.
Gallas then grabbed the winner 10 minutes later but was fortunate not to be flagged for offside.

Watched arsenal play last night and I must say that wenger has about got the gooners purring, alas perhaps alittle too late to press for the BPL title this season but if he is able to get them playing the way I saw them play last night and in the last few games then I think arsenal shall probably be a force to reckon with next season. Villareal and Man United should be concerned.
Saw the highlights of the game at the Madrigal this morning on the eurosports channel, gotta say Arsenal are looking good of late, and Adebayour's equaliser was quite the beauty. A Dark Horse for Rome perhaps?
Gooners fans should be very happy today...Arsenal played well last night and their key players are slowly but surely hitting form at the right time...Man U should be careful and wary...also it is looking more and more like Arsenal hold the key as to where the BPL shall go with them still having to play the Big 3 between now and the end of the season
PS Wenger's ecstatic leg and arm movements after Adebayour's goal was quite a hoot

WALCOTT: EVERYONE IS SCARED OF US
Arsenal forward Theo Walcott insists his side have got their rivals running scared heading into the business end of the season.
After sweeping aside Villarreal to set up a Champions League semi-final against Manchester United, Walcott's focus is now on the FA Cup and the last-four clash against Chelsea at the weekend.
The Gunners are unbeaten in 18 Premier League games and are confident playing against any team at the moment, according to 20-year-old Walcott.
"There is a lot of confidence in the dressing room, everyone is buzzing," he said. "We feel every team are scared of us as soon as we step on the pitch. It's great to play when things are going like that.
"We are playing brilliant football and scoring goals from all sorts of positions which helps the team.
"We are defending well and even though we have players out injured, others are coming in and doing just as good a job.
"It will be difficult against United but we play them regularly in the Premier League and do very well against them. They are probably the best team in the world but as long as we dig in, I'm sure we'll be fine."
After watching Chelsea ship seven goals in their last two games, Walcott and Arsenal's other attacking players are relishing the opportunity to put Guus Hiddink's defence under more pressure.
Walcott said: "We will be looking to utilise their weak spots.
"If we play like we did against Villarreal, then I'm sure we'll get some goals."
Emmanuel Adebayor, who was on the scoresheet with Walcott and Robin van Persie in last night's quarter-final second-leg win over Villarreal, echoed the sentiments of his team-mate.
"We know how strong Chelsea are, but we just have to put the ball on the ground and play our own football," said the Togo striker. "If we play our style we can beat every team in the world."
Arsene Wenger's men have been portrayed as a club in crisis this season particularly after William Gallas was stripped of the captaincy, but they are now within touching distance of a trophy.
Emmanuel Eboue is desperate to end the club's four-year trophy droht and end the season on a high after getting jeered by his own supporters earlier in the campaign.
"Why not? We (will) try our best to win something this season for our club," Eboue said. "Everybody feels very, very good."
With Bacary Sagna out ill against Villarreal, Eboue had to play at right-back.
Manuel Almunia, William Gallas, Johan Djourou and Gael Clichy were also sidelined, meaning Kolo Toure was the experienced figure in defence.
Toure is relishing the role of underdog against United after facing Didier Drogba at Wembley this weekend.
"We have fresh players," he said. "We played with a new defence against Villarreal and we did very well.
"Now we need to get ready for Saturday against Chelsea. We will have to face Drogba, who is always good against us.
"For the Champions League, I think we are not favourites as United are the champions.
"However, they know we can beat them, so we are looking forward to it. Bring them on."

An Arsenal fan hung himself following his team's 4-1 aggregate drubbing by arch-rivals Manchester United in the Champions League semi-final, police said.
Empics
Arsenal lost 3-1 to United in the second leg of their semi-final tie.
Suleiman Alphonso Omondi, a 29-year-old Kenyan living in the capital Nairobi's Embakasi neighbourhood, hanged himself in his Arsenal shirt after the match.
"We were watching the match at Bamba 70 pub, and when Arsenal was defeated, Suleiman just walked out in protest and he was crying," Calvin Otieno, one of his friends, said.
"We didn't know he was going to hang himself until this morning when we received the reports and came here to find his body at the balcony," Otieno said outside the deceased's home.
Arsenal slumped to a 3-1 defeat at home in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, capping a disappointing season for the Gunners who were already out of the Premier League title race early in the season.

Arsène Wenger's long-term commitment to Arsenal appeared to waver publicly for the first time last night when the club's manager of 13 years chose not to rebuff the possibility of a future role at Real Madrid and instead conceded that the prospect of working under Florentino Pérez in Spain would be "interesting".
Reports in France have suggested that Pérez, the former Real president who announced his candidacy to stand for the position again last week, met Wenger in Paris last week and has since confirmed he would seek to lure the Frenchman as part of a "spectacular project" to revive the Spanish club's fortunes should he return, as expected, to the Bernabéu by winning Real's presidential election this summer.
Wenger was first contacted by Pérez over a potential move four years ago and has since grown used to being linked with a move to La Liga. Usually he dismisses any interest by reaffirming his loyalty to Arsenal. However, when asked his opinion on Pérez's plans for Real during an interview on the French television programme Telefoot, broadcast by the French channel TF1 with whom Wenger works as a pundit, the 59-year-old was more evasive.
"With Florentino Pérez in charge, the project he has put forward would be interesting for any coach but I would prefer not to comment on this," he said. When asked whether he intended to honour his contract at Arsenal, which runs until 2011, he added: "In general I usually stay until the end of my contract."
That represents the first occasion when Wenger has not simply responded to links with rival clubs by stressing his future is with Arsenal, with the timing of his comments potentially alarming for the Premier League club's board. He has only ever sought to sever one contract during his managerial career to date – when he left AS Nancy-Lorraine for Monaco back in 1987 – yet there have been recent signs of strain in Wenger's demeanour as he endures a fourth consecutive season without silverware at the Emirates Stadium.
Only last week he admitted that supporters' frustrations, increasingly directed at the dug-out in recent weeks, had left him perplexed. "You sit here, you are in the last four in Europe, and every day you feel you have killed someone," he said. "It is unbelievable. If you do not take a distance with it, you think: 'What kind of world do we live in?' We lose against Man United who have 10 times more resources, it's not a shame. They are the best in the world. Congratulations to them. If you play tennis tomorrow and you lose against Nadal, you can still say you are a good player."
While it still seems unthinkable that Wenger might swap Arsenal, where he has nurtured a young side with a long‑term vision, for the gálactico culture of Pérez and Real, his comments will serve as a timely warning to those on the Arsenal board, and the club's recently appointed chief executive, Ivan Gazidis, in particular, that he will seek significant funds to strengthen his team in the close season.
The major shareholder and director Danny Fiszman has consistently stated that the manager has money to spend in the market, though Wenger, who has always placed huge onus on the club's continued financial stability, said last summer that he must sell one of his players for a significant fee each summer to re-invest in his squad. That player is likely to be the striker Emmanuel Adebayor this year, though Wenger has recognised the need to add to his options with the money generated, plus existing funds, to recruit older heads at centre-half, midfield and potentially up front.

I think Wenger is playing games leow now that there are new players in the board of directors.
Openly they kept saying Wenger got $$ and yet now there are rumours that he is only given 13 million pounds to buy next season. Then Wenger still kanna fucked by ungrateful fans for trying his best. Great to see Wenger playing games to hit back. keke

He got grilled by shareholders and they were less than impressed with the Gunner's performance this season. Put it simply-there were too many false dawns, empty promises and the players were just dreadful despite going on an unbeaten run.
The fans must understand that the Emirates Stadium came at a hefty price n one that is going to leave the club in debt with little else to spend on players. Borrowing is not an option and certainly not with the present credit squeeze. The pound has lost its value and it will be a lot more expensive to run football clubs in the future.
As far as the rumor mill goes,I don't think he will leave for REAL. Perez simply wants a proper youth system in place that will rival Barca and keep cost to a minimum. I can't see where he'll get the money to revive his 'Galacticos' player policy.
Agree. Wenger is just trying to prove to the critics that he is wanted elsewhere. I think Arsenal will be Wenger's last club. He might try for France if he retires from Arsenal but I think he will not go for another club anymore.
All his proteges are at Arsenal; how is he going to leave them behind?
