Cheers mate :) skys knackered and missed the commentary on the radio
 
Thats David Jones and Adam Johnson, obvious but there is Daniel Jones and Michael Johnson who anyone could get them mixed up with...although I'm not sure they are availabe for either club?
 
unlucky leicester tonight, good fight but man citys megastars finished us off in the end, good game though :)
 
very pleased that we won, 5-0 is a great result against a solid Championship side :)
 
unlucky leicester tonight

Well, i dont see how they were unlucky when they got a penalty pretty easly and their second goal was an one-rwo with the ref and then offside too. And then Carlos missed a penalty :D I think it's more like unlucky City. No offence :D Late bump.

It was unlucky Leicester because they put up an extrodinary fight against the biggest spenders in world football and took you to a replay?

Figure of speech. Don't take everything so literally.

FA CUP 3rd round replay
8PM KO LIVE on ITV1

Team News

Leeds top scorer Luciano Becchio is a doubt for the FA Cup third-round replay against Arsenal after suffering a back injury against Scunthorpe on Saturday.
Defender George McCartney is ineligible as he joined on loan after the initial tie, so Ben Parker should start.
Arsenal right-back Bacary Sagna is available after completing a ban and winger Tomas Rosicky is expected back after recovering from a virus.

The winner of the tie will host League One Huddersfield in the fourth round.
The game is expected to be a sell-out and Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny - who should keep his place as Lukasz Fabianski is sidelined with a shoulder problem - is hoping the 40,000-strong crowd make Elland Road as intimidating as possible for the visitors.

We're going to have to work ever so hard. We're underdogs against a top team, but it's a great opportunity and we're looking forward to it

Szczesny played at Elland Road while on loan at Brentford in League One last season and is relishing his second visit.
"It is quite a loud ground, but I enjoy the atmosphere, it gives you a bit more motivation, keeps you focused," said the Pole.
"When you play games with no crowd, you can sometimes lose your concentration, so I enjoy the games at big stadiums with big crowds."

With Arsenal playing Wigan in the Premier League on Saturday and then Ipswich in the Carling Cup semi-final second leg next Tuesday, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger may feel the need to rotate his starting XI.
Welsh international midfielder Aaron Ramsey could make his first appearance since recovering from a broken leg while striker Nicklas Bendtner may get another chance, after playing in the original tie at the Emirates.
Leeds go into Wednesday's game off the back of Saturday's 4-0 drubbing of Scunthorpe, which maintained the their promotion charge at the top of the Championship.

Having come through that game in such impressive fashion, Leeds manager Simon Grayson is now training his thoughts on the visit of Wenger's side.

Grayson told BBC Radio Leeds: "My players go into the game as underdogs again as they should do against a top Arsenal team, but it's a game where we can enjoy ourselves and hopefully have no regrets.
"We go out and play with a care-free attitude and enjoy the occasion - just because we got a result down at the Emirates doesn't make us favourites by any stretch of the imagination.
"It's a great opportunity to test yourselves against fantastic individuals and as a team apply yourself in front of the national media."

Sanchez Watt, currently on loan at Leeds from Arsenal, will again start having been given permission to feature in the first game and the 19-year-old winger is convinced he can shock his parent club.
"I didn't think I was going to be able to play in the first game but when I found out I was, I got myself focused," Watt said.

"I knew I had to have a good game - to show people I wasn't holding back and I was giving my all.
"We're going into the game with a lot of confidence and I hope we can win. I want to play to the best of my ability and I want to score.

"I want to show people that I can be a player and stay in this game for a long time.
"It'll be strange if I score but I'll be feeling good about the fact that I've got a goal against a great team and a great defence. I won't celebrate but inside I'll be happy."
 
looking forward to an electrifying full house Elland Road tonight (unfortunately I wasn't able to get a ticket :'( ) Hope some of the younger Arsenal players become intimidated by the atmosphere and we really get stuck in! Come on Leeds MOT

agreed that team does look strong, stronger than the first tie you think? I would say yes. Good to see that Fabregas and Walcott not starting :D

our starting lineup:
Schmeichel, Connolly, Bruce, O'Brien, Parker, Johnson, Howson, Snodgrass, Watt, Gradel, Paynter
Unfortunately Becchio not fit but Paynter is a similar kind of player, just not as good
 
yep stronger than the first leg

and i'm glad becchio is'nt playing as he is a good player

Nasri could really cause problems for us with his expert dribbling, could see us fouling him a lot.

Leeds to win 2-0, Gradel and Snodgrass to score.

I wish I had your optimism but I really can't see our defense keeping Arsenal out for the match.
Heart: Leeds 2-1 Arsenal
Head :Leeds 1-2 Arsenal
 
remember the person who gets beat is also out of the FA CUP Last one Standing Game ;)
 
gunna be a great game tonight, can't wait for it. I am rooting for it to go all the way to pens :P
