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 can't want us to lose this. I can never want us to lose any game - it's not in my character.
To those that seem to think The Arsenal being humiliated by getting knocked out of the FA Cup by a non-league side would see Wenger leave (whether by sacking or resigning), I would say; I doubt that would be the result. Wiggy does not give a flying fuck about the FA Cup, Wenger tolerates it at best tbh and would not jack in £8.5million a year because he had humiliated a great old club like The Arsenal.
What would we be left with as a result of losing? Just the humiliation...
I would have thought though that this fixture might be a good one for protest/banners etc...

Ditto ,but a few points .
Kroenke does care but only about money and asset appreciation both of which are doing fine under Wenger !
Wenger could need the FA Cup but thats OK because barring disaster we wont be having to worry about it until 22nd April by which
time we most likely will be comfortably in 4th place and thus why not go for it !
Looking forward to our delicate prima donnas getting a reality check,environment wise,this evening.
I hope the showers are freezing,the benches are uncomfortable,and the heating in the changing room is either off or ramped right up.

Agree with the above sentiments , I cannot contemplate Arsenal losing this. I would never want Arsenal to lose a game but there are times during games that I can only hope the humiliation before me drives Wenger out or at least heightens pressure on him.
The 8-2, 6-0 5-1 etc , but it hasn't happened . I remember watching the 8-2 and the thought struck me if they got ten then even Wenger couldn't survive.

There are apparently only 4 showers and it is quite hard to get the water out of them, as the shower heads are partly blocked
The boiler has nearly packed up and so the heating will be ramped right up - and considering how hot it is outside today then that won't be much fun

replay would be nice....be a real welcome down at the Den for the scum
No more replays in the FA Cup 6th round, extra time and pens on the day
I never knew that about the 6th round. Yet another nail in the coffin ... the FAC QF was always a classic Saturday afternoon and so were the replays the following wednesday.
People in the game want all the riches that being in the game brings them but they seem more reluctant than ever to actually have to fucking play it!

Oh and the walls are painted brown
They concreted in the bath to make more room - apparently at our request.

There will be enough bovver at the toilet - if the scum have to replay there will be Carnage and I know who my money would be on...
yeah agreed but going over there is something different....come out of south Bermondsey station then you are in bandit country......
Only once have I been to a game at millwall were playing Oxford Utd (I think it was over 30 years ago) or it may have been Derby I was living in New Cross at the time - Now there was a salubrious place - when a student and this other student; he was Dutch wanted to visit all the football grounds in London...and we'd been to Craven Cottage and the Chav toilet, I'd taken him to Highbury a couple of times or rather I was going and he came with me...but millwall was well scary.. it was like something out of the ID film - I made sure I knew the names of the millwall players before I went just in case. But there were 'spotters' along the walk from the station to the ground and they were looking for unfamiliar faces.. there were several nasty incidents both in and outside...but it was an 'experience' shall we say.
