Does anyone know when the tv games are picked? Looking to book hotel and travel for it.

I'd expect our under 13s to be enough to beat the rags

Fixed

Hopefully as soon as possible. I'd like to think it won't be any later than towards the end of this week on Thursday or Friday.

There's only one team that's got a more difficult 4th round draw than us.. And that's Arsenal!

 

[Jack Hackett]

Nice draw for us. We play better in these bigger name cup games. Arsenal will make changes but their lack of depth compared to us will make us strong favourites. It’s also a good chance to knock them out early without having to play them in a semi or final when they’ll be more keen to play a strongest XI.

It‘s difficult not to agree with you…our squad‘s lack of strength was exposed against Newcastle when we really didn’t have anyone on the bench to come on to make a difference and again last night when we our second string midfield struggled early on despite Viera’s promise. Whereas at Chelsea, drawing 0-0, you could bring on Grealish and Mahrez to secure the points.

The question should be is Why Arsenal lack depth, after spending something like £300m in the last 3 transfer windows.

The question should be is Why Arsenal lack depth, after spending something like £300m in the last 3 transfer windows.

1. We didn’t have CL football so more difficult in attracting the best players.
2. We are gradually improving the squad as you can see from last summer. We moved on a lot of players many of whom didn’t realise much value.
3. Actually, our net spend in the last 3 years was £280m which is less than 3 Grealishes.
4.A better question would be to ask Chelsea and Man Utd whose net spend these last 3 years of £433m and £366m why they’re not delivering.

Taking 3 years stats, only looking at net spend and not considering other factors like whether we are in a rebuilding or sustaining period can be fairly arbitrary and so may not be particularly meaningful. But good try.

Fucking Arsenal fans coming on here bemoaning us quoting their net spend figures is the pinnacle of fucking hypocrisy. Your loud mouthed fanbase have done nothing for the last 10 years except berate us with those very same figures and i dont recall any of them at any time ever make any considerations about our "Building Phase", fuck off Jack must try harder.
