    West Ham v Leeds is live on tv, Leeds still have a ton of injuries, they also play at West Ham again in the league next weekend............and they've sold out a 9k allocation. That's a ridiculous level of support.

    Cant knock the support that you see from Leeds / Newcastle etc.

    But I do sometimes wonder what their support would be like if they weren't from one club cities.

    As a huge FA Cup fan I’m loving the amount of games on terrestrial tv.

    I bet Merseyside police are looking forward to welcoming 6k Cardiff fans.

    Big sides all avoid each other. Arsenal (if they beat Forest) v Leicester is probably the biggest game of the round.

    Would it have been wolves away though? Swear the ball number  changes depending on the team name

    Great idea from Arsenal to wear all white kits to raise awareness against knife crime. Kit, sponsor, shirt numbers all in white.

    Pretty poor therefore that the FA have made them plaster a coloured FA cup logo on the sleeve.

    Fourth round onwards the ball numbers are decided by where in the previous draw you came out if that makes sense. We would've been ball 31 since our game was the second last to come out. So yes, it would've been Wolves away.

    In earlier rounds, it's done pretty much same way but they introduce the new teams in alphabetical order e.g. for round three, ball 1-44 are Prem/Champ teams in alphabetical order and ball 45-64 are the twenty round two winners in the order they were drawn.

    Similarly, Wolves/Norwich will be ball 16 for round five because they were the last to be drawn today.

    Our free kick in the last minute of the 1st half was a shambles. However a foul throw from a Premier league player in the last minute of the game beats it.

    Long throws into the box aren't a tactic I imagine Arsenal practice much  :D

    Hahah I know but fuck me, that's got to be a fine. 

    We fine our Sunday league players for foul throws.

    That was appalling from Arsenal. Barely 1 chance all game.
