FA Cup 5th Round

Didn't this fixture finish 7-1 to Arsenal last time...


Might as well be a bye for Arsenal.

Yeah. A Bye Bye

Ska you can always go by car with a few mates,tickets at Arsenal are extremely dear.

Don't mean to sound bitter but is there any incentive to go to a game like this?

1. Ticket prices that are expensive for Londoners, and insane for Blackburners.
2. £80 in petrol to drive/about £40 on the coach (I assume)/about £100 on the train to get there.
3. 90% chance we'll lose, 50% chance we'll get thrashed.
4. Have to put up with sitting with Arsenal fans who've bought tickets in your end cause theirs has sold out.

At least with the FA Cup there's less of the knowledge that your helping the rich clubs get richer, as I think ticket revenue is evenly between the 2 clubs.

But still, about as disappointing a draw as they come. Almost definitely out of the FA Cup and the vast majority can't even afford to see it.

They might just under estimate how bad we really are and this could be their downfall.

That being said they would have to turn up half sozzled for us to get them back to Ewood.

Just about the worst draw we could pick out the hat. At least Old Trafford is only round the corner.

Naah its one of the best draws we could get in a cup competition we arnt going to win,a reasonable payday forth coming and no further involvement means league games are prioritised,pity we beat Derby for me as another game is piled up in the fixture list.

Just maybe the Gunners fans will be to busy unfurling banners depicting Mr Burns out and fighting amongst themselves, than supporting their team. It might just give us the edge, after all they had plenty to say about us giving the Scottish Mourhino stick.

SKA, train tickets are only around £20 return from my house?

Also the last result at The Emirates if I recall was 0 - 0

Choice, you are writing far to much and some of it is making sense. Stick to your usual "Cantona" style postings!

Is your house in North Yorkshire? Ridiculous prices to London from here.

SKA, I think his name kind of gives away where he lives.
