You say that, but they have just got a new manager and have since beaten Watford and hammered charlton both away who are 2 of the championships top teams. It is very much a potential banana skin!

I AGREE WITH THATGOONER. BURNLEY AWAY IS NOT GOING TO BE EASY FOR US - ESPECIALLY IF WE PUT OUT AN UNDERSTRENGTH SIDE, AS IS OUR WONT IN EARLY FA CUP ROUNDS.

BURNLEY IS ANOTHER OF THOSE NORTHERN TOWNS STUCK IN A 1970's TIME-WARP AND A HOSTILE RECEPTION AND ATMOSPHERE IS GUARANTEED. HOPEFULLY THE BOYS THAT PUT ON THE ARSENAL SHIRT FOR THAT MATCH WILL BE UP TO THE TASK. :lol: :wink:

We are Arsenal and we are top of the league, Burnley are who????? Yes if we put out our nursery side then maybe we could face a replay but no chance of losing this one against Northern Monkeys 8)

Some decent players, they might be a team we should beat but they are at home and should give our second string some trouble.

dunno about that mate, this will be a proper old school cup game, for us its 3rd round, for them its a final.
On paper it should be easy but we'll find out who's up for it..Its great playing fantasy football but this will be one of those where who wants it more will probably win it. The weather and pitch will be levellers too..
Will be applying..

yep should be a tasty fixture both on and off the pitch with the locals giving us a warm reception!

Still see us winning comfortably though...
