Demitri_C Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 we are away to arsenal #(or leeds very unlikely) another away game and yes against a top four club. i think we must have drawn more top foure clubs than any other prem club in 3rd and 4th round. someone must hate us at tHE FA liverpool vs united. tasty game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parisvilla Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Initially I was resigned to the season being over but having thought about it reckon it might be a good draw. Surely RVP won't play in the game what with their CL commitments and we have a very good record at the Emirates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savosleftboot Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Either a shock win or we bow out with our heads held high to a sky4 team and avoid a giantkilling (provided Leeds go out). Can't really lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 If its anything like Arsenal team they put out in Greece in Champions League we have a chance. wouldnt be so negative only 10 days ago we won at Stamford bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Either a shock win or we bow out with our heads held high to a sky4 team and avoid a giantkilling (provided Leeds go out). Can't really lose.Or a typical dismal defeat against a big team. I'm not normally negative, but I just can't see anything else under McLeish (yes I'm aware of the Chelsea result).

coda Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Bit strange locking the 3rd round thread when it hasn't finished yet. Leeds won at Old Trafford last season so they may give Arsenal a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Leeds away would be a nice cheap away day for me. Can't see them beating Arsenal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VamosMiAstonVilla Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 We can beat them if we give it a go and they play a weak team. We should have won the league match at VP ! They've been stuttering recently and their annual implosion cannot be far away. Hoping this will be on TV - pretty sure it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Tough but not impossible presuming its arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 First off, I'm hoping it will be Leeds. We've got around 24 hours to cling to that dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldiejjj Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Either way we will get a pretty big allocation, so good day no matter who we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rino8 Posted January 8, 2012 Visiting Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2012 Leeds have a few injuries for the Arsenal game,can't see them putting up too much of a fight. They can do it though, and people seem to forget that they very nearly beat Arsenal at the Emirates last year if not for a 90th minute penalty. I'd take some prem clubs over Leeds when it comes to the FA cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_eristic Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 If we get Arsenal and they play a lot of reserves/kids, we should field ours, too. The memory of that 10-1 last season might put the fear into them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Nothing to be unduly concerned about. Arsenal don't have it so easy against us for some reason and the onus will definitely be on them. Out of the top clubs I'd rather face them than anyone else. Leeds is another potential banana skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euro_kings_82 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Shay given Richard dunne and Robbins keane (if he signs) might be a bit more interested in this fixture now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
