F.A Cup 4th Round - away meltdown at Arsenal

[VillaAlways]

if Hutton takes out Van Persie first minute , they are not going to score .

Lets hope VP picks up a knock before the game .

Theirry Henry has a great scoring record against us

I just saw on tv that the only clubs he has scored more against than us are Charlton and Middlesbrough.

COME ON LEEDS !!!!!!!

[Villafirst]

If you consider we'll be nearing CL and Wenger will be wanting to push for 4th, I think he might be putting out a weakened side which gives us a greater chance. As long as McLeish doesn't do a Houllier

They've got to get past Leeds first though.

I'm guessing we'll have an idea when we see what side they put out against Leeds.

Well Arsene has allowed Robin Van Persie to go on a family holiday to Dubai! Just shows how seriously he's taking the FA Cup! My prediction: Wenger will pick an understrength team and we'll go there and win 3-1 with our first choice eleven.

I doubt he'll want his kids to get beat by a strong Villa side. Chances are he'll pick a team good enough to beat Leeds, then a stronger one to play us.

It's quite easy to score when the referee instructs the opposition to move out of the way while you kick it into an empty net, then awards you a ludicrous penalty.

[Chris Smith]

We've got nothing to lose with this one. They'll be clear favourites so we can have a real go like we did at VP the other week.

Apart from our season. That's Tammurf-talk.

Nah, it's up and at 'em time.

[Dr Butler]

we have a good record at the Emirates...if they get through....

[usav]

Wenger usually rests players for the cup - especially if they have CL games around that time.   We have nothing to fear, go in and give it a real go.

[cdbearsfan]

They haven't got a CL game around then. They've got a league game the midweek after, so have we.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

We'll beat Leeds 4-0.

That one still stings.  The main reason being that afterwards the ref would speak to the press about the penalty, but not the free kick.  Ignorant, arrogant cock-end knew he had done us, but wouldn't admit it!

   

[cdbearsfan]

Another thing that was overlooked... Kanu was virtually standing next to Henry when he took the penalty. I think if he'd been on the goal-line the cheating bastard Halsey wouldn't have given encroachment.

We really need to get good results against Everton and Wolves as AM may feel he may need to rest players for the QPR game
