At least Campbell did well but the rest of the defensive was awful. Walcott!? Terrible. Stoke fully and utterly deserved their win. I won't say Wenger was wrong for the team he put out, and it was stronger than a Carling Cup team, but you can tell he doesn't prioritise the FA cup as much as the league.

Fair enough we are freed up from that competition, one which we could exit at any time anyway, but I wanted to win this one. Winning the league is still going to be very hard and I think we'll be runners up. So nothing else won.

That said if I had a choice between finishing 2nd while pushing for the title and winning nothing and just scraping 4th with the FA cup I would prefer the former. Hopefully we get far in the Champions League as well.

Kind of wish that 4th goal counted. The defence really need to be shown up for the absolute lack of any command of the area at all.
