The two for me are Arsenal v Utd. Yes I’m a gooner, but it pairs the most successful cup teams together

And Liverpool v Accrington Stanley. For those of a certain age, in your best scouse accent

“Ian Rush said if I don’t drink lots of milk, when I grow up I’ll only be good enough to play for Accrington Stanley”

“Accrington Stanley, who are they?”

“Exactly!”

It wasn't the lad who said the famous lines, but another lad in the advert

Arsenal v Man U , we see that kind of game every week , that's nothing like a stand out in my opinion

Other games worthy of big mention

Tamworth v Spurs
Chelsea v Morecambe ( could literally stop Morecambe going bust)

a couple great local derbies for the minnows
Leeds v Harrogate
Millwall v Daggers

And then Everton v Posh could see Ashley Young playing against his son

A great draw and a huge pay day for plenty of teams

Thins the herd for the rest of us

yes some massive paydays for the smaller away clubs 45% of say a 50-60k gate... kerching

Bromley attract a decent @3k per home game but they will trouser 45% of a 52k sell out at SJP

Arsenal will be pleased with a seemingly easy tie.

Stand out for me is Accrington Stanley. What a day those players will have!

The Arsenal of today can most certainly play pretty Football with the likes of Saka, Odegard, Martinelli etc, but also with the size and tactics of the players, the also have a ‘Plan B’ At set pieces. They also have three of the best Center Backs in the Premiership in Saliba, Gabriel and the now recovered Timber. Plus they have Ben White, another Center back.

Arsenal used to be regarded as a bit soft. Nobody could level that at the side of today, in fact, the exact opposite. They seem in some ways comparable to the Leeds of Don Revie when it comes to professional fouls and bending of rules when necessary, but capable of excellent football when the time is right.

They are now a worthy adversary of City and Liverpool for the first time in many years and are not playing to make friends. The side finally has a ‘Spine’.

Think they've been done to annoy those AFTV presenters 🤣

Think Arsenal have a fantastic squad, really like Rice, Odegard, Gabriel, Saliba and Saka.

Chelsea are the outsiders👍
