They seem to always get easy draws.

ridiculous 

Fantastic draw for us. 

Arsenal are lucky barstewards in the FA Cup, If only the CL was sponsored by Emirates, Arsenal would probably draw Ludogorets/Legia Warsaw in the last 16 even if they were knocked out.

Yet they would still probably get knocked out. When was the last time Arsenal managed to get into the quarter finals in UCL?

Interesting :) Lincoln can get their biggest scalp yet and how sweet that will be! Of course, Sutton going through will be even sweeter.

Happy to draw United. We've been without a big one off cup game for too long.

One off it may be but I really think there is a strong chance Jose sets them up to make sure they do not lose and decide the tie at old Trafford. 

Dream draw. Bring it on. We ll shut that idiot up again and n17 will get redeveloped free of charge.

It's called Emirates FA Cup. There must be something. 

 

I bet moanio is sh*tting it. Getting his excuses ready. 

Tottenham also got a bit lucky. But to be fair, they're really playing with great spirit.

If we meet them in this season's FA Cup, just sign Drogba on short term contract. I'm sure he can still batter them.

'Probably Chelsea can only think about that (the FA Cup) because I think they are champions and they have nothing else to fight for,' he said in a clinical and brief press conference.
  
'The FA Cup is something I believe is important for them. I have to play St Etienne (on Wednesday), I have to play the (League Cup) final, I have to play hopefully another opponent in the Europa League. I have to fight for a top-four position in the Premier League.
'I have so many things to think about.'

No problem... we should win this at home. In any case, it will be nice to watch a nerve racking cup tie.

I heard no replays in the 1/4 finals - Extra Time then to PKs in case of a draw

still trying to see if this is a rumor or is this true - IMHO this is a big deal due to the history of the FA Cup

Well let's be honest it is a busy schedule and not exactly sh*t. Be interesting how Chelsea cope next year with european football.

I have to say that I take exception to this notion that 'Millwall fans are all scum', and quite frankly I find it a bit hypocritical given the reputation that our own fanbase has had over the years.

The actions of a minority - albeit a larger one in Millwall's case than with most other clubs - shouldn't be used to characterise the wider fanbase. It's exactly the same principle involved when people say 'Chelsea fans are racist' because of what happened on the Paris metro and in other incidents over the years. All clubs have a hooligan element to them because Football transcends all social strata, but the majority of fans in my experience tend to be decent people. 

Re. Mourinho...what he said above is first of many things we can expect ahead of the tie...moaning about fixture list is something he did every season he was in charge of us...it's quite funny when you think about it (hence why we should take no notice), as he's moaning about the team he's in charge of being successful! Also laughable that he dismisses us having a title to win as some small thing, when it carries the biggest pressure of the lot...

Anyway, i think this will be far tougher than when we played them in October...he's got them organised and playing for him now, although they remain unimpressive most matches.

 

“Firstly, the pitch,” said Wenger when asked what are the biggest dangers facing his team. “Secondly, their enthusiasm. Thirdly if we are not ready for a big fight. Subconsciously if we think ‘no matter, it’s a non-league team, we will pass’, that will not happen. Ideally we would like to play on a normal pitch. But it has been accepted so … competition is also about dealing with what you face. We face an artificial pitch and we have to deal with it.”

 

Holy sh1t, the excuses are already creeping up. I get it, its different playing on artificial surfaces but if anything that should help Arsenal because they have every physical and technical advantage. I'd bet Sanchez makes more per week than that entire club make in a year. Wenger is preparing the fans for defeat here
