FA Cup Time.

Arsenal will win. This season we will try our best for a Cup at the end. This is a hard game but we will win. I think Arsenal 3-0 Leed.
Goals for Van Persie,Walcott and Henry.

Unfortunately, it will only be remembered for the return of an ageing hero.

All a bit of a circus really which is a shame!

:roll:
Exactly. When I think of this fixture in the cup I think of Merson's belter in the 2-2 at Highbury, and Wrighty's winner in the replay. The cup in general holds so many great memories for all of us I'm sure, and it saddens me to see how it is now held in such disregard. Unfortunately money talks and it is 3rd in the pecking order but a club of our size and stature should still be looking to win it as well as maintaining our place in the top Euro quota/challenging for the title.

Sadly I can only see Wenger treating it the same way he has the previous 3 years or so. It still disgusts me how we surrendered to Man Utd at OT last season when they had a midfield full of defenders.

Was quite surprised to learn that we haven't lost a home FA Cup match since 1997 (when, ironically, Leeds beat us 1-0 at Highbury).

We've survived 31 games in that 15-year period, but I definitely think that tomorrow's game is a potential banana-skin. Watch this space, I guess.

Woah, found an old 7" from the 1979 Cup final (b-side is Liam Brady singing :lol: ) in my record collection. This has reignited the FA Cup flame inside me!!! Does anyone else have that same record? Yellow sleeve with a photo of the team at Highbuty (in yellow and blue shirts)
