No one’s submitted a preview yet for this one, which is a bit surprising considering we’re playing Spuds. I’m not entirely sure what to make of that. Could it be that people consider this a cakewalk? Or, is it the other end of the spectrum that’s closer to the truth? Are people worried that Spuds will be so up for this after last year, (not to mention losing both league games this season) that they’ll prove the toughest test yet for this year’s youngsters?
I’m at work, so my time is limited, but I’d love to hear your thoughts. Have...

Goals from Eduardo and Nick Bendtner see the Gunners through to the fourth round as Arsenal win away to Burnley in today’s FA Cup 3rd Round match.
Fielding a slightly stronger Carling Cup side, Arsene Wenger’s men seemed to never really get out of first gear. That didn’t seem to matter though, as nine minutes in, Eduardo ran onto a looping lob by Kolo Toure to beat the Burnley defense and cooly slot the ball past the keeper and into the net.
One - nil up, and you thought perhaps there would be more where that came from, but Burnley were up for it, playing their...

Well finally the FA cup has started. Last year it was the FA Cup which tired us out with all those replays and ended in us getting knocked out of 3 competitions in 11 days. Still I think the kids have grown up this year and understand how to play against lower ranked teams as well. AW will have to balance the squad as if he puts out too many of the kids ; it might be too much to ask them to play Spurs as well on Tuesday; and Spurs are a much improved side this time round under JR so it might not be that easy. I’m not familiar with any of the Burnley players apart from their striker Andy...

Two first half goals from Eduardo and Adebayor were enough to see the Gunners through as they beat West Ham at the Grove this New Years Day.
Dudu’s goal came just three minutes into the match, and honestly, it never really seemed as though West Ham were going to get back into the match. Ade’s goal in the 19th minute confirmed those suspicions.
Right, that’s about all I can muster at the moment - I’m going back to bed. Happy New Year everyone!
