Hello Neil,

A very rare occasion.. note it.. it doesn't happen often...

I hope that Orient stuff the Gooners out of the Cup too.

And I really want to hear Wenger invent a new moan why it wasn't fair...again.

best wishes

Phil

sorry...would usually cheer for the underdog...

but not this time...come on Arsenal!!!!

[Monty]

I'm not fussed about Arsenal to be honest. Even though my family on my Dads side hail from Woolwich and I've a 1913 replica shirt.

No, I supporting Vipers team today.

No chance, Phil. The mighty Arsenal are not like the no-hopers Chelsea have become since they sacked Uncle Fester Wilkins

PS Phil, you need to update your forums status.

[Phil Carter]

ok...I'll buy it..why?

[babybird67]

arghhhhh

how come we can beat the mighty Barcelona and only draw with Leyton Orient? Sometimes my team makes no sense!

[Phil Carter]

Maybe because they changed 10 players from the team that beat Barcelona, and if they do the same thing in the replay, they may well lose to Orient, knowing that in the Q-F there is a little matter of a trip to Old Trafford, with Man Utd waiting for them.
United only just beat Crawley by doing the exact same thing.. both teams have their eye on the League and Champions League titles. The FA Cup means very little to them, it seems.

Hi Phil
Exactly, but Orient at home will a very different matter. Best pitch on the planet, 50K+ supporters on our side....done deal.

As for Man Utd they will be playing the FA Cup quarter final 3 days before playing Marseille in the CL who didn't concede an away goal in the first leg. This will be after 3 difficult away games on the trot against Wigan, Chelsea and Liverpool. Arsenal will probably be top of the PL by then and will have had the Barcelona game out of the way already.

This is like the Arsenal of yesteryear who nearly always drew away in the cup and won the reply at home.

Hello Derrick,

Yes, it certainly does look like that type of team. Chelsea hold quite a key in this title race, they play Utd home and away, City at home and Tottenhem at home. Could really help Arsenal, infact.
