Forgot this thread.

Should go through.

Next 5 games: Liverpool (h) Stoke (h) Sunderland (a) Blackburn (h) Bayern (h) - 4 of next 5 at Emirates.

Just Before our CL game is a worry, cause surely we will have to rest some players.

* Last season's two league clashes with Blackburn produced 15 goals (4-3 & 7-1)

Blackburn have not had a great season this year. With any luck, we'll go into the game with some decent form, win it early and then rest key players ahead of the Bayern game.

I'm happy with this draw, as I'm sure City and United are. It looks like there'll be a good chance of Arsenal, City, United, Chelsea and Everton all being in the quarter-finals.

Saying that, today proves that you can't rule anything out at all. Oldham had won twice in their last seven games but beat Liverpool 3-2. Form can be totally irrelevant in this competition.

Great draw for us a lower league team at home surely we must take this chance and get as close to this trophy as possible

I hope we would play a 2nd string. CL is more important.

FA Cup > CL this season, for me.

Bayern will beat us anyway, with or without a fully rested team - it's only a matter of how many goals really.

Please try as hard as possible to win this cup

it will take almost the same amount of effort..
you will have to battle a 2-3 big teams like United, City, etc to win the FA cup.. and if we get an away draw, we are out..
so it is not like we can forget CL and guarantee an FA cup.. we can beat any team over 2 legs..
and would you take FA cup over CL final or semi place ?

shoudl go all out in the home fixture, if we can some how win by 2 or 3 goals, then go to munich and defend for our lives and hit them on the counter

you mean the opposite, you should always try to get a clean sheet at home to avoid away goals rule

Very true. Winning something no matter what it is, is better than almost winning something else even if its more important.

winning the FA cup will boost club moral more than going on a miraculous run in the champions league, get to the finals and loose on penalties. Because if that happens, people will still say "lol arsenal no trophies still!" But winning the FA cup could give off a curse breaking vibe. Give off an energy that things are changing for the better
