the cup

we got west ham away, anyone care?

[Big_G]

not the easiest of ties, wouldnt be first choice by far but we should get through

[AFC1886]

Should get through but then should've got 3 points when 2-0 up

[Magic Hat]

Given we may well second string this, an awful tie to get

[bang goes the 0-0 draw]

is this likely to go to reds?

is this likely to go to reds?

5+ i assume
10+ if we don't take the full allocation

Bad draw in my opinion. With so many lower league teams (and a couple of non-league), the last thing you want is an away tie to a Premiership side. Add in the fact that it's a London derby, and against a team we were unconvincing against last month with our first team, it doesn't have the makings of a walkover.

Shocked that Chelsea had a home tie against a lower league side, that hardly ever happens...

Will go to 0, possibly silvers. Based on an allocation of 4,000 approx.

This is the same cup Wenger doesnt take seriously even when we get to the semi finals is it?.CC team

[Bring Back Pires]

I don't want to start a "Wenger out" thread (lord knows there's been enough over the past couple of years), but today was the last straw for me. However, I don't feel angry like I have in the past; but more upset. Upset for Wenger that it's not working out, and that it's not going to work out. I think we could continue with him for another five seasons at this pace, and still end up trophyless.

Yes, I love the entertaining 'Wengerball' we play. Yes, I love the guy himself, and his charisma and wit. And yes, I love the fact he's led us to three Premiership titles, generated the Invincibles, and made stars of Henry, Bergkamp and Vieira. But losing at home 3-0 to anyone is unacceptable; that we've lost to Chelsea at the Emirates by this margin twice in six months is outrageous.

So enough of the excuses, enough of the youngsters that simply don't have potential (yes, I'm talking to you Walcott), and enough of the career ending injuries in every single game. We're going nowhere, and until there's a change in management, we're simply not going to win a trophy.

And that includes the FA Cup (tracking back to the initial post).

Shit draw, we never seem to get to play the 4th division whipping boys Just when we needed a confidence boosting mash up

are you serious?

we got 3,000 in the league i'm sure we'll get around 4,500-5,000. we ourselves give 9.000!!!
and it sold out to 15+ credits in a league game on a sunday night
i'm sure saturday/sunday afternoon in a January where our league looks OVER people will go to the FA Cup in a London Derby...

We should be able to claim up to 5,300 tickets (15% capacity). Plus the game will probably be on TV anyway (Didn't see the draw, but I bet this is the biggest tie). Reckon it will go on sale to pretty much anyone who wants a ticket.

LONDON DERBY???

[digger]

London Derby, but it's on TV, we'll play a weakened side, WHU will charge full price for tickets.... won't go to general sale, but wouldn't be surprised to see it go to 0 credits.
