As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
I reckon we should decide to call off the second leg just as a bit of tit-for-tat. The FA, Football League and whoever else need to get this nonsense sorted out and make it abundantly clear that if you have professional players available at the club at any level , the games have to go on. Either that or postpone the season for three weeks. You can't have it both ways but of course, they always do.
My “source” told me an hour ago it is off and new date is 20th Jan. So we play second leg at home now.
The teams will now play Thursday, January 13 for the first leg at the Emirates and Thursday, January 20 for the second at Anfield, following an announcement from the EFL.
plus they'd have a B list registered comprising of 40 odd players from the youth teams that can also be called up if required.
And we're expected to believe that out of a squad of 80 odd players they can't field a team? Absolute fucking bullshit, a joke and a disgrace, but who's surprised?
I've been banging the drum about how crooked the game is for years but what's going on this season with cancellations even has me shocked, blatant cheating, corruption and manipulation of results to suit certain teams.
Nice of us to "agree" to move to after the Spurs game and 2 days before Burnley
Liverpool would like "to thank the EFL and Arsenal for their understanding" !!!!
Fuck off you c.unts - we've bent over to accomodate you and fucked ourselves over! Absolute fuming, as I expect are Villa and Leyton Orient
It makes me wonder what say we had in the matter and what conversations have been going on behind the scenes. My feeling is that we probably agreed to a cancellation as we're a decent club at the end of the day but may well have done so on the proviso that the legs were switched.

As it stands the Burnley game will kick off at 3pm on Saturday 22nd, with the rearranged game against the Mickeys finishing at around 9.30pm/10pm on Thursday 20th January. How on earth can that be fair?
Liverpool's game that weekend is on Sunday 23rd January at 2pm. So we've agreed to reschedule a match (coming off the back of the NLD on 16th) which gives them more recovery time afterwards???!!!!
Surely the announcement would have mentioned the Burnley game going back 24 hours? If we've rolled over and 'agreed' to that then the c.unts who run our club should be ashamed of themselves
