v So we finally get one of the big boys at Hillsborough for the first time since the last century. The fixture brings back a few memories of course, the cup finals in 1993, the Di Canio/Allcock incident in 98 and the epic 5 game FA cup saga back in 1979. Arsenal are one of the best teams in the Premier League but haven't actually won it for a decade now, just a couple of FA cup wins and numerous top 4 finishes, which is deemed as failure by some Arsenal fans
THE LAST MATCH
Always good to beat a local rival, but should have been a bit more comfortable than the 1-2 score-line. Need to learn to finish teams off, we had the chances to be four up but wayward finishing let us down and then un-necessary free kicks gave them the opportunity to put pressure on our back line and we still continue to sit back when we have a lead with plenty of time left on the clock.
FUNNY COMMENT FROM LAST MATCH THREAD
From OvalOwl
"Somebody needs to tell Joao about the tooth fairy. He looks like he lost half a crown and found a tanner!"
OUR TEAM
So will we see CC make more changes for the 4th game in 11 days??
The following is my prediction for the opening line-up:
Westwood
Palmer Loovens Lees Wiggins
Lee Semedo
Wallace McGugan Bannan
Nuhiu
WHO'S THE BASTARD IN THE BLACK
Ref - Graham Scott
Assts - Jake Collin & Michael McDonough
4th Official - Nigel Miller

A bridge to far i think !!! but as long as we dont get hammered for 6 and and have a go at them for the first half an hour ill not be moaning
The important games are after this in forest and brighton hopefully this game we might learn something from Arsenal and go into these games more relaxed and better for it
RE: Match Thread - The Owls v Arsenal (LC) - Statesideowl - 25-10-2015
Nice one, Kev!
Couldn't agree more with that.
Though I'm afraid this is probably the end of the cup run. It's a big game for us and I hope all the fans that make it enjoy themselves. I also hope we don't get smashed. Morale is all I'm really worried about, though the players will know going in to this game that they are the under-dogs.
1-3 Wallace
HAHAH

This games Meggo will be the Yank that scored against them at Wembley! Chasing him is an old thorn in our side, and Gunners legend renowned for 90th minute goals against us. Ian's so young there, Shaun's almost the spitting image.
