Last updated : 26 January 2007 By SpursMAD

Pascal Chimbonda was part of the Wigan Athletic side that knocked out Arsenal at the same stage of the competition last season. He said: "We lost 2-1 in the second leg but it was good enough to go to the final (last season) because we kept a clean sheet at home, won the game and then managed to score that one goal away."

"The final was a fantastic experience, the first cup final in my career.

Robbie Keane said: "I was in the semi-final of the FA Cup (in 1998) when I was at Wolves against Arsenal."

"I remember every moment of sitting on the bench! I'd played in every game up to then, but Mark McGhee said he would rest me for the semi... I came on, which was good, but we lost 1-0 and were unlucky.

"I was only young and it was a great experience for me.

"We let ourselves down (at the Emirates) and everybody else because we didn't perform.

Jermain Defoe said: "The last-time I played in a two-legged semi-final was for West Ham youth team actually against Arsenal and we beat them."
