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.

Can someone tell me if i'm going mad or are The Arsenal the only Prem team who don't have a two day lay off after the F.A. Cup this weekend..... :?:

Also why the f@*k are we kicking off at 12pm anyway, stick ya f@*king ESPN up ya arse. I just wish all the clubs would get together and tell T.V. companies to think about the traveling fans not just the armchairs.

Think it may have come from the belief that Leeds would beat Arsenal in the replay and the 4th round would be a Yorkshire derby. That for security reasons may have needed a 12pm Sunday kick-off.

Thanks for the link Dan_85. I'm no lover of Chelski but that is a kick in the Andy Jacobs. I know clubs sign up for TV games every season but you would think they might have a thought about the travelling fans(no chance). Being an away scheme member i know how bad some TV fixtures can be at times. And i take my hat off to ALL fans who travel at stupid times of the day/night just for a TV fixture.

My rant is over thanks all for the response.

Poor Chavsea fans. That must play havoc with all their National Front meetings and Neo-Nazi rallies.

Man City got their game against B'ham City moved by one day even though B'ham objected to it. Man City complained to the league and it got changed, so why do we have to play... :? :(

True. But I don't think their rank and file are overjoyed by the fact. Shower of racist fuckpigs. :evil:

ESPN's coverage is Mickey Mouse. The bird doing our game had to look at her notes to remember Lee Clarke's name at the start.

I would love it if one of the players in the warm up twatted one and it smacked the presenter in the side of the head.

You would be an internet viral for years to come. Maybe they should get Bendtner to warm up near them.
