    A victory could really turn Arsenal around and give them a lot more belief. It's past due for Arsenal to beat united.

    That team up there is so average. Feels like everyone has beaten them in the last two years but us. Time to get our due.

    This is the match I've been waiting for ever since I proclaimed that the FA Cup would be meaningless if we didn't face a top team along the way . . .

    I still feel that way, so let's storm up to Manchester and defend out Cup!

    COYG!

    I am so dreading a loss. To this incredibly below-average United team.

    If Arsenal come out with a ton of energy, there's no way they lose this game.

    Prediction- 1-1, with a win at the Emirates a week later.

    Did anyone read the article Scholes wrote, apparently he stated that Ozil shouldn't have come to Arsenal

    No, just saw some reaction from the boss but Scholes is pretty much a simpleton.

    I have this awful feeling United will benefit from at least a couple Michael Oliver decisions.

    But we'll still win, 1-0.

    So 3:45pm ET KO? Are we into one of those weird times of year where UK has gone to daylight savings but we haven't?

    Sadly I have to miss another midweek match live... and you can be pretty damn sure Martin Tyler will be calling this one. :)

    I REALLY wanna see us avenge some bad history up there in the cup. Even if ManUre isn't quite what it used to be, going to OT and getting a win is a sizable ask, but...

    COYG!!!!

    Scholes's commentary is like his tackling.

    Remember this moment when it was more than just Arsenal vs. United or Arsene Wenger vs. Alex Ferguson or O2 vs. Vodafone???

    Yeah, what he's really saying is he should've come to United instead, too bad bitch!!! HA-HA!!! :laugh:

    Paul Scholes is totally jealous because Mesut Ozil isn't playing for United, I know Paul Scholes was a great player during his career but his quote makes it obvious that he only wishes he could've played alongside him under Sir Alex instead of him playing for Arsene Wenger.

    Thank God that Fox decided to spare us the expense of having to put up with Gus Johnson and Eric Wynalda

    I'll also inform Cindy Margolis about this HUGE match and the last time we beat United at Old Toilet!!!

    Hard to believe our front line was led by Franny Jeffers and Sylvain Wiltord at OT that day. A 2-0 win no less

    draw at their place.

    we will win at our place.

    the only aspect is we haven't won there in ages (07 i think), but this is NOT the United Fergie team, so we can beat them, whether there or at home.

    Shouldn't it just be the traditional yellow and blue?

    Cup game, so it could theoretically be the third kit. I think the Arsenal website should tell us, but it might not be until tomorrow.

    It's gotta be the Cup kit, gotta be, and if they do, then it would look like they might be going to a similar look (color-scheme wise) as the 2002-03 away kits they wore when we beat them at Old Toilet in the 5th Round of our successful FA Cup title defense that season. We'll find out sometime in the short future, no means putting out a kit you don't intend to wear but for one match (like my Gold O2-sponsored kit from 2002-03 was), I believe that the only match I saw the Gunners wearing the double-blue Cup strips was for our CL group stage battle away to Borussia Dortmund earlier this season, but anyways,

    COYF'n'G!!!
