If it ends 1-1, is it going to be extra time? Or is it a second leg?
Edit: nvm already posted. It's not good for Arsenal. They need to focus on the Barcelona tie. I want them to rape Barca.

its over 1-1 replay at emirates
looks a strong team with young Spaniard Miquel starting
Since when is having an untried 18 year old (Miquel), a crappy and slow player (Squil) and an error-prone 37 year old who's been pushed out of the side by a 20 YO (Almunia/Szczesny) at the back a strong side?
Poor performance, poor result, and an extra game we didn't need in the run-in.
When we say " Wait until the Nou Camp" you say " You cant say that we have matched them today and can do it next time as well"
When we "yay well played orient" you say " Wait until the emirates."
Get off your high horse it works bother ****** ways.

That was a strong side.. All international bar the young Centre Back....
By Arsenal standards, that isn't a strong side.. We were never going to put out 11 18 year olds, we never do..

Oh and Almunia isn't an international =)
Fair play to Orient. Its performances like this, and the sterling effort from Crawley that make me love the FA cup. I love the underdog story! Credit to the depth of the entire english league system, not just the strength of the prem!
All of them bar the young Centre Back has played League football this year, and not just subs appearances.
All of them Champions league football this year, and all of them against a top 6 sid this year.
By Arsenal's standards!
It was a second string side, bar Chamakh and Song.. We didn't make any substitutions and now we have to play another game in an already congested fixture list.
All credit to Orient, who held on well for 80 minutes despite Arsenal's goal, then took advantage of Arsenal's complacency and the inexperience of Miquel, who's half-hearted challenge and failure to close down Tehoue cost us.
Generally had a good game, though so pretty pleased with him.
It should of got the Job done though and didnt.. That is the bottom line, You ****** up today and a team that could on its own finish in the top 12 of the EPL, ****** up today... Bottom line is this is a poor poor result.
I'm not making excuses...
I'm just saying that it's annoying that our second string side couldn't beat them, and that we now have to play another game when that's the last thing we want right now.
I said credit to Orient... Arsenal's makeshift defence was poor for the goal - half-hearted challenge by Miquel who didn't close him down either, but he'll learn with experience & I was generally impressed.
Once again, we got complacent, and conceded late/dropped points (you know what I mean). This cup side just isn't good enough and there's several players I'd happily ship out - Rosicky, Almunia, Squillaci..

Oh I know.
Bottom line is that we ****** up, obviously. Man Utd got away with it, we didn't. Would've liked to see Wilshere or someone in the team, though - I can understand not playing Fabregas/Nasri, especially after their captain's comments about how Arsenal players would be given a rough time basically.
Still - all we can do now is go out and put in a good performance whenever the replay is, and put out a stronger side against Utd (if we get there)
