It'd be nice if this was a weekend, non stupid-time fixture and we took the full 8.5k or whatever it is.

I am convinced we will play either 5.30 on Saturday or Sunday. Our's and Lpool/Manyoo are the ties of the round. These games will not be played on Monday evening bollox!
Anyway I have already booked a hotel  in Smoke centre for Saturday night and have told  the FA, ESPN and ITV....so there.

I think the Henry story is a great one, and if it was happening at our club we'd be full of it!  I'm also glad he came on and scored in this game to get all the hype out of the way!
I think if we have a real go at them we can win.
I remember the Halsey/Henry free kick routine - it was almost as though Halsey had been rehearsing it with them down the training ground the way he ran out of the way so Henry could take it quickly, the twunt.

I know it's long in the past but I still get angry about this one. The Henry/Halsey free kick routine was one of the worst things of witnessed on a football field. 

Marcus Allback was quoted after the game as saying that Halsey had asked him to ''get back 10 yards and wait for my whistle.''  So while they were getting the wall together Henry literally took his shot around Halsey without a whistle and the goal was allowed.

Fecking disgraceful and i've disliked Halsey ever since.  One of the most incompetent going around imo (and there's plenty of competition).

Can you imagine the stink Wenger and Fleet St would have made of it had this happened to them.

It's even worse than that because Halsey is laughing and joking with the Arsenal players and then signals to say, go on the you can shoot now. bastards

We did the same thing at the Hawthorns a few years back.

It is easy to predict this: "7.00pm, Saturday 28 January, Henry loses Hutton in the inside left channel, Arteta's ball finds him in the area, he nutmegs Collins and bends the ball with his right foot inside Given's far post."

..To provide Arsenal with a consolation goal in their 1-5 defeat..

There - fixed it for you!
