Hey Boys
I have left work slightly early to be here for the match
I am going to stay around for the 4th Round Draw at the bottom of the hour and then take Shad for a walk
Afternoon, UWS - thanks for joining me. I've got a sick feeling about this one. I'll be watching but through webbed fingers.
Team news out of the Em tonight:
Arsenal: Martinez, Sokratis, Luiz, Holding, Nelson, Guendouzi, Xhaka, Kolasinac, Ozil, Pepe, Lacazette.
Subs: Leno, Ceballos, Mavropanos, Willock, Martinelli, John-Jules, Saka.
Leeds United: Meslier, Ayling, Berardi, White, Douglas, Phillips, Alioski, Gotts, Klich, Harrison, Bamford.
Subs: Cooper, Casilla, Dallas, Helder Costa, Davis, Stevens, Casey.
Referee: Anthony Taylor (Cheshire).
Stronger sides than I suspected. Arsenal have made only four changes from the weekend, while we've made five changes from the side that drew against the Baggies. I'm particularly surprised that Patrick Bamford is getting a run out tonight, given his dodgy leg. And can we really risk Kal Phillips at this point?
You icon has changed!
The Draw link has just started
It is slightly behind the 5Live Link so I have turned off my radio
Mark Chappers in the studio with Alex Smith(she's everywhere) and David O'Leary....Arsenal heavy in the draw....what a shame they will be knocked out tonight!
David O'Leary broke Leeds remember
Alex home teams
David away teams
Here we go.....
Watford/Tranmere vs Wolves/Man Utd
Hull vs Chelsea
Southampton vs Boro/Spurs
QPR vs Sheffield Wednesday
Bournemouth vs Arsenal/Leeds
Good Afternoon, Bob and Dave. Here to join you for the Dahlgren Derby. How is everyone?
A trip To Dean Court for one of the Dahlgren Brothers
Northampton vs Derby County
Brentford vs Leicester
Millwalll vs Sheffield United
Reading/Blackpool vs Cardiff/Carlisle
West Ham vs West Brom
Burnley vs Norwich
Bristol R/Coventry vs Birmingham
A trip to Tranny for United would give them a chance to undress the opposition.
A West Derby and an Evil fixture at the Lions Den
Manchester City vs Fulham
Rochdale/Necastle vs Oxford United
Portsmouth vs Barnsley
Bristol C/Shrewsbury vs Liverpool
Not any mouth watering ties there!
I am off for walkies
I'll be back
Hi David
Afternoon, MUR - I'm home from work to enjoy the proceedings from my favorite chair at The Cottage! MOT!
Teams in the tunnel now - what atmosphere.
It's a debut for our new French keeper Ivan Meslier tonight.
MOT ringing out around the Emirates now - great stuff!
Patrick about to get us going this afternoon. Come on!
Some early possession for us down the Arsenal right.
The Leeds faithful enjoying a night out at a Premier League stadium, hoping for more of the same next season.
Early free kick now for us. Douglas can float this one in left-footed.
Oh - Patrick was unmarked in the area but he just couldn't direct his header onto the target.
Nice run by Pepe but a good tackle there in the end by Ben White.
Back from dropping Jacquelyn off at the college. Five minutes in and 0-0
Oh - Bamford was played in so well there after Holding gave the ball away but he dawdled too long.
Bamford was Holding on too long for a shot and was tackled for a Leeds corner
Arsenal really struggling to clear their lines right now. The long balls into the area are really working.
Cheers, Bob and Dave. Great to join you. I'm very familiar with that chair
Poor clearance there by Ayling but Pepe can only warm the hands of Meslier.
Pepe shoots straight young Meslier after a poor clearance
Really entertaining match so far - end to end.
Bob will cheer the tackle on his namesake, Sideshow Bob
Surprise the Gunners are still "Holding " on after a couple of defensive miscues.
Oh - great ball in from Ayling but Patrick is well off the mark with his header.
Bielsa on the bucket at the EM
Great support from our lot.
Bob will be pleased that TH14 is no longer playing for the Gunners. That's one threat they don't need.
Oh - Ayling's volley nearly found Harrison at the back post.
A great atmosphere at the EM .
Nice knock down by Patrick - he's owning the balls in the air so far. No "Holding" him back.
Xhaka Chan bursts forward but then plays it to no one.
Leeds caught the Gunners faffing about, but the Gunners got away with that
No surprises there. That's why Xakha Khan is well off key
Oh - great shot by Harrison there, beaten away by Martinez.
I am back from walkies
From the sounds of it on TalkSport....Leeds the better side!
Martinez does well to push away a long range effort despite it being close to him
oooh....off the bar!!
Bamford off the bar.... great play by Leeds!
Oh - off the bar from Patrick! So close to an opener now!
OH! off the bar by Bamford
Facts I heard on Talksport
16 years of wait....16 weeks away
Welcome back, Dave
Chaka should get a yellow for that tug back.
Oh - another great shot from Harrison. Good grab by Martinez, while Ali was lurking.
Nice one, UWS - welcome back!
The 16 weeks is Sweet 16, but the 16 years not so much
Another error by Arsenal, this time by Sideshow and we earn a corner off of it.
Cross from Ali headed out for a corner by Sideshow Bob
Another foul by Xhaka and still no card.
Nice opportunity from the free kick now.
Leeds with nearly two thirds of the possession. Not many teams can come to the EM and do that
Oh - Kal whips one in and Martinez bobbles it. Out for a corner.
How many more chances will Xakha Khan get? The Gooner will be glad to see him shipped off to Germany
Thew Gunners look really nervous. That's a surprise, but no complaints from Bob. He will take that
Tomorrow is the Manc Derby
Oh - a bad slip by White but the rest of the side bailed him out.
Oh - great move again from us and Ali was a whisker away from scoring.
Bit of Ole Football from us now - bit too early for that.
Such a shame Leeds aren't the lead.....they have been all over em...at the Em
Oh - another great move ends with Harrison volleying on goal. Not enough on it to trouble Martinez.
I agree, UWS - we may rue these missed chances.
We all know who the better of the two Uniteds that have recently visited the Emirates is!
Sideshow blasts one and gets a corner out of it.
Oh - Sideshow nearly punished us there with a near post header.
12 shots to 2!!!
Oh - great cross over and then Ali nearly scored. But at what cost. He's down looking bad.
Leeds have nothing to lose going thru to the next round
All their promotion rivals at thru to the next round except for you Forest
ALMOST IN AGAIN!!!
Alioski heads toward goal....hope he's ok!
Oh - another great move but Arsenal somehow survive.
STRUTH....Leeds ripping them apart....get a shot off!!
You must be thrilled Bob
I am; it's been a brilliant performance, despite the lack of goals.
Why couldn't my lot play like this?
It's funny how the two teams could wear their traditional kits in 1972 and not in 2020!
Can you believe the 1980 FA Cup Final West Ham/Arsenal....was FORTY YEARS AGO!!
ANother Leeds chance!
Oh - another great ball in there. But Robbie Gotts shanked his shot over the bar.
Oh - nearly in again!
SHOOT....come on Leeds....you so need the lead
Arteta doesn't look too happy with life.
I hope Leeds build on this performance in the league as well
They have been so good!
Sokrates is telling his own fans to calm down
One added minute
Sokratis is trying to gee up the crowd, but I can only hear the Leeds faithful tonight, who are now paying tribute to the boss.
Half time
Well done Leeds United..... now go one and win it!
Half time - it's been a scintillating performance from our boys, with some sparkling moments. But no goals yet. Hoping for more of the same, and perhaps a goal or two in the second half.
Back for the second half
Same as the first
We're away in the second half; Pepe tries a pop from distance from the off.
I was worried with that break
Nelson was off to the races there, but White and then Douglas tracked back well.
Arsenal have out of the traps here, after some tea cup rattling by Arteta, no doubt.
Free kick now....
Oh - Lacazettes and it hits the angle!
Oh - great save by the young Frenchman from Lacazette.
Guendouzi now tries to bend one into the corner. Not quite.
Worrying that Arsenal are stepping it up
Oh - Patrick now latching onto a nice ball and curling one. Martinez saves well. Great match, this.
Bugger....Arsenal take a very undeserved lead
Bugger! The ball trickles over the line and we're behind.
Still plenty of time now to turn this one around.
Ozil loses possession...wrong pass made by Phillips there...why pass back?
Looks like Stu Dallas is being prepared to come on now.
Double change from the boss then. He's not wasting any time. Dallas and Helder Costa coming on. Robbie Gotts and Alioski off.
It's really Reece Nelson who's causing us the most problems. Nearly in again.
How many fouls is Xhaka going to get away with today?
Lacazette tries to argue for a penalty - nothing doing.
Klich goes into the book for a rash one on Xhaka.
Goalscorer Nelson comes off and Martinelli, Arsenal's young Brazilian striker, comes on.
A little over twenty minutes for us to find an equalizer. And we have a free kick chance now.
The ref is annoying me tonight
There is an away match at Bournemouth awaiting the winners tonight. You lot have either Watford or Tranmere away to look forward to if you beat Wolves in the replay.
Kolas with a rotten tackle
It's Leeds Time!
Kolasinac goes into the book for a hack on Helder. A dangerous free kick position now.
It's Baz Douglas with a left footer over the wall but over the bar.
I don't see use getting past Wolves after the first match
MOT!
Oh - Martinelli turns well but White blocks it out for a corner.
VAR check now for a red card - nothing in the end.
That was nasty by The Gazette....I would have booked him or sent him off. It wasn't a tackle it was a kick out
Like this young keeper...much more than Kiko
Another lovely move from Martinelli. Meslier did well to get down to it.
I'm liking him, too. First time I've seen him.
Ozil comes off and Willock comes on.
Arsenal have lost at home to a lower league team in the Cup in 70+ years
Not sure if it was just the 3rd round or all together
Heard it on talkSport
9,000 Leeds fans in attendance....well done
Patrick limping away now. Just as Ayling come off and another youngster comes on. Jordan Stevens.
Wow - that's amazing for a Monday night.
Kolasinac winds his way into the box but Berardi does well to block him out.
Just over ten minutes left - come on!
Stevens wins a corner now. Got to make this one count.
Nice move but the final ball from Helder was off.
Arsenal resorting to corner flagging it now.
Stu Dallas picks up a silly yellow card there.
More corner flagging.
Boring boring Arsenal
Solkrates is wrestling the guy!
Referee Taylor should add loads of time on for this nonsense.
Sokrates is an idiot
And now a boring late substitution from Arteta. Infuriating.
Oh - Harrison was nearly in but Sokratis tracked back well.
2004...... 16 YEARS....the last match with no subs used at all
Man U vs Fulham.... I HATE THIS CRAP
Only five minutes added. Stupid. Should have been double that.
Guendouzi buys a cheap free kick now.
Rubbish free kick from Sideshow. Now let's get it back up the pitch. MOT!
No consistency at all!
Again, United got abused for the 7 minutes that were added in 93 against Sheffield Wednesday when Bruce scored both of his goals
The referee had to be replaced by a linesman and then a new linesman from the fourth official!
These days.... it is a norm.... or not.... makes no sense
Again, I am moving away from added time...stop the clock
One more chance now - come on!
That's just about it then. Shame.
GET IT IN THE BOX!!!!
Don't get the smarts of these modern day players....they do know where the goal is, right?
Got to get it up the pitch!
Sorry mate.... Leeds deserved something from this
Have a good rest of the day
Concentrate on promotion!
That's it - no shame in that performance. We've shown the big boys some class tonight but have bowed out 1-0. Now it's back to the real job - getting promotion.
