FA Cup 3rd round

[GlasgowGooner]

Draw is today at 3pm on BBC 1. I would personally prefer a Premiership tie for us.

 

[Rupert]

I would prefer an easy tie... Telford perhaps!

 

[Exiled In Newcastle]

newcastle, sunderland or 'boro away would suit me!

 

[Exiled In Newcastle]

And we got ... leeds away!

 

[GlasgowGooner]

Leeds vs Arsenal

 

[Exiled In Newcastle]

Not too bad - only 100 miles away.

 

[GlasgowGooner]

our game should be live then

 

[Adam]

Ideally, a div one team at home so that we can rest some players. But Wenger might throw some youngsters in the deep end at Leeds. Or he might be of the thinking of playing a team that he will know will get a result.

Wouldn't count on it. Man Utd have Villa away which is a similar occasion. But Utd pull in the viewing figures better. The BBC have the rights i believe though and they have shown Arsenal a few times. Is that correct?

 

[GlasgowGooner]

yeh that game will probably be on BBC(hopefully since BBC Scotland show spl games instead of FA Cup). We should be shown on Sky but they seem to prefer games inolving the non-league sides.

 

[potterarsenal]

they will probably show newcastle vs. southampton or Yeovil vs. liverpool (i would like to see that one :| )

 

[Rupert]

Gonna be a tough one if their performance yesterday is anything to judge by. Anyone know when we play? Will we have Pennant back by then? (not that we will play him, just they wont have him!)

 

[GoonerGurjit]

What a terrible draw! Wish we had got a minnow like Telford or Kidderminster at Highbury.

 

[potterarsenal]

we play the 3rd of january 8)

 

[slapz]

I'll be in Bolton spending the festive period with my family so I guess i could make my way to dirty leeds.

Give me a 4-1 win again

 

[rachael-8]

i think i might go,do you think we will play youths or first team

 

[JazzG]

Doubt we will play many youth players tbh. Probably a few first teamers with some reserves.

can someone clear this out for me...Will Pennant play for Leeds..and if he does he won't be able to play for ur lot right?

 

[Exiled In Newcastle]

He's on a month by month loan so he might be brought back before that game. IF he stays there and playes he WILL be cup tied, but unlike league games it's almost always the case that clubs don't let players they've loaned out play cup matches because that cup ties them for the whole season.

Unless Arsène requests that he does not play - but he would see that as being unfair.
