Sunderland FA cup Sat 9th 1500

[officepest]

I think Rodders has it right; Fat Sam will not be too fussed if his side lose this so I would be happy to see some sensible changes to the side.

Arsene will probably play Özil for the duration though.

No great shout there already been stated previous, Fucking obvious

On track record Allardyce has always done similar, his priority is staying up

Time of the month?

Thats right for you it last a fucking lifetime

We're playing our reserves, got to go to Swansea on the Wednesday night in a pretty massive game for us at the bottom of the table then we just get back from that and have to go to spurs for an early kick off on the Saturday. Allardyce has been hinting for a while that these fixtures will mean resting players for the cup (not that he normally needs an excuse not to take the cup seriously).

The likelihood of watching two reserve sides face each other, along with two more important upcoming league away games and an extortionate price for a third round game between the two aforementioned reserve sides means the atmosphere probably won't be great either, quite a few not going. Whether we play our first team or not you'll batter us, we're a pile of shite

Defoe still knows where the goal is, judging from yesterdays performance

Chap in the middle losing his shit.

It's got 0-0 written all over it, midweek trek back up to the northern wastelands.

I think Rodders has it right

It was bound to fucking happen some day

[Nos89]

So we're starting our defence of the Emitates Cup...didnt we just win it in August?

Dull game warning ⚠..1-0 win with an own goal...not saying to who but we haven't scored an own goal this year. Flamini hasn't got one yet this season...

Wenger will lose just to piss fat Sam off...

[Herd]

Selling my tickets for this one for fucking sure |

[Sean]

I hope Wenger takes it serious. Because would be nice to be the first club to win it 3 years in a row.

It's all about making history.

I fucking hope so. I'd take silverware over the VT any day (unlike The Old Fraud).

So Fat Sam will throw the game to concentrate of the league. I just hope we don't do worse than them, with TOF inevitably disrespecting the competition again with playing the second string.

[foxinthebox2001]

Club priorities are.
1) top 4
2) PL
3) Not getting embarrassed by Barca
4) FA cup
I see a ghost squad coming into view for Saturday, thats why I am sitting this out, like many others.
Maybe 55k in the ground, plenty of exchange seats to be had.

[Leyton Gooner]

I'm going Rare trip to the Bowl for me these days but there's something about the cup. An excitement that yet another game in the relentless march towards qualification for a tournament we have no chance of winning could never bring
