Fingers crossed we get the win todat, for this round I'd like either a non or lower league team so they can get a cash injection

Back in early 90's and early 00's my local team drew West Ham and Arsenal, home to West Ham and got the draw, then went to upton park. Then got home draw against gooners but got it commuted to Highbury where their share of the gate was massive compared to the home capacity of under 2k.

On both occasions the club got massive cash injections and local coach companies also benefited along with other local businesses

Any way fingers crossed we go threw

Hopefully this thread will be needed although we will still be technically in the draw

Home to oxfird orArsenal

Fuvking Arsenal

Had some shocking draws this year

Home to chavski first!!!!

Goodness me.

Ahh, well. I didn't really like the FA Cup, anyway

they clearly dont want us winning a cup this season.

If we lift the cup this year we will have beaten everyone decent along the way.

ManUre got lower league opposition at home again.

It'll probably be televised too. All their 3rd round games have been since 1990. Why should a dead rubber in the 4th round this year be any different *rolls eyes*

Why do they do the draw prior to the matches being played. So bizarre.

So gooners it is then....

If its the team from yesterday vs that Arsenal line up from tonight we should wipe the floor with them.

Even the draw looked suspect - clear plastic bowl with camera underneath so you could see the numbers you were rummaging through - couple of times Heskey changed his mind over the ball to pick out - no idea what was wrong with the cloth bag

Arsenal game now confirmed for Friday 27th January @ 20:00, live on ITV
