Leyon Orient v Arsenal : Match thread

FA CUP 5th Round

Leyton Orient v Arsenal

Wenger is due to rotate the squad today with another Premier league game on Weds and the Carling Cup final the following weekend. Playing in the third different competition in three consecutive games Wenger gave a hint of who would be in the team

Incredibly, Johan Djourou was ruled out on Thursday but will now start if fit. Sebastien Squillaci will certainly return, Bacary Sagna is back from his ban but Abou Diaby’s suspension continues.

"Djourou has a test on Saturday,” said Wenger. “I will play Squillaci and then will see about whether to play Laurent Koscielny or Johan Djourou. Koscielny finished quite exhausted so if I have the choice I will choose Djourou."

Team news to follow:

 

I hope Leyton Orient can put in as good a performance as Notts County have so far but with a bit more luck. Think you'll win though

 

or as good a performance as Crawley? They took you right to the wire

 

Ignasi Miquel is starting I think.

 

Yeah but we were awful, I can't see Arsenal being as bad as that today.

 

Almunia Sagna, Squillaci, Miquel, Gibbs Song, Denilson, Rosicky Bendtner, Chamakh, Arshavin - according to Twitter that's the official team.

 

Miquel is the starting line up I'll post the full team news as soon as it's officially released

 

what channel is it on lads? espn? hope not. fa cup should only be on itv and bbc

 

Agree Not sure if it's on ITV 3 or 4 maybe. ITV have got the rights to the FA cup these days, but i'll probably be on one of the others like EPSN too

its on espn

absolute shocker. any domestic competition (prem league aside) should be on terrestrial tele. i thought it was the peoples competition ffs.

its like when setanta had rights of england matches. pathetic.

 

It's ESPN.

www.myp2p.eu for anyone who doesn't have the channel...

 

Looks like I'll be watching your match on some dodgy link that cuts out every 5 seconds, great.

 

download sopcast and use the p2p link that swarbs put up. never fails me. not that ill be watching it. got a match at 7 so getting ready for that

 

Cheers

And agree, FA cup is supposed to be a national institution, not another marketing asset for TV companies.

 

What time is the draw for the next round?

 

why are they in a flat

 

Is it just me?

 

is it just you what

 

that does not understand about the flat

 

i dont understand either
