Got the Fourth Round draw to look forward to before this. :doh:
If Thierry and Oxtail-Chambermaid don't play, I'll kick my foot really hard against a wall.
Get with the times, man.
Last time Henry played v Leeds, he scored 4
Henry :bow:
"Electrifying...electrifying".
:bow:
Not knee-jerk but I really can see us coming a cropper here. We were close to last year & probably had a better, fitter (and more in form) back up eleven.
A lot of Wenger's longstanding records are going, against Jol today, the FA Cup record can only last so long. I can't see too many of the core 11 starting Oxlade definitly will - we've 6 defenders out now, so the defences will pretty much be on a par.
Having said that, Leeds are a lot shitter this year too.
Anyone fancy kicking some cash in so we can afford to play Ox in this one?
Before the game:
"Park and Oxlade-Chamberlain are ready for games. They are in the determined zone."
Team sheet 55 minutes before the game:
Chamakh - Squillaci - Jeffers front three.
Park and Oxlade-Chamberlain nowhere to be seen.
:ilt:
Jeffers :bow:
An England legend. Only player to have scored in every England game hes played in
Fox in the box™
Leeds might not have 11 players come Monday so don't worry too much about this one

I just want to feel included :(
Apparently Henry will be on the bench for this

Arsène Wenger insists he will not make wholesale changes for Monday night’s FA Cup clash with Leeds.
The Arsenal manager had been widely expected to rest much of his first team for the Third-Round tie at Emirates Stadium.
But while Robin van Persie and possibly Gervinho will miss the match, Wenger will not go for a complete reshuffle.
“[I will play] a strong side, a normal side,” he told Arsenal Player.
“Maybe one or two will be rested, but apart from that I think we will still have Marouane Chamakh.
“Robin van Persie will certainly be rested for this game. We will hopefully have Chamakh available, [Ju-Young] Park available.
“Gervinho will maybe miss the game because they [the Ivory Coast players] have to turn up 14 days before the [Africa Cup of Nations] tournament starts.”
Good to hear. But I suppose we don't have much choice in some areas with 7-9 players out.
Vermaelen should be back for the United game. Sagna has a small chance to return for that game.
The Henry deal needs to be officially done by 12pm today, if he is to be available for this game.
will be this
-----------------------Fabianski------------------
--Le Coq------Kos--------------Squid------Miguel

Leeds goalkeeper Andy Lonergan says he is relishing the opportunity of testing himself against Arsenal's forward line of "unbelievable finishers". The Whites No.1 - who has only recently returned from a long-term finger injury - could be set for a busy evening at the Emirates in the FA Cup third round on Monday night, especially with returning Gunners legend Thierry Henry set to play some part in the game.
Henry has netted 11 goals in 11 games in all competitions against the Elland Road club and Lonergan is quick to admit the main difference between the top flight and the Championship is the quality of strikers.
"The goals that go in are fantastic in the Premier League and you feel for the keepers because the level of finishing is unbelievable," said Lonergan. "If they get a one-on-one or a chance, they don't think about it, the next thing you know the shot is coming.
"That's the difference between our level and the Premier League. Every league you go up in the difference is always the strikers and we're playing a Champions League team, so the finishing is clinical.
Fantastic
"Henry is probably one of the best players to play in the Premier League, probably the world., He is fantastic and it will be a pleasure to share the pitch with him, hopefully.
"If he plays there will be a lot of attention on him, but there are 10 others who are equally capable of hurting us."
Leeds drew 1-1 at Arsenal in the third round last season before losing the replay, but were less impressive against Premier League opposition in the League Cup this season - losing 3-0 at home to Manchester United.
"We want to give a better account of ourselves than we did against Manchester United - we didn't get near them," added the 28-year-old.
"A big deal has been made of our league position - this gives us a different kind of pressure. We can go and enjoy it a bit more."
Chamakh, Park, Henry :bow:

Arsene not arsed about cup

I wouldnt mind some silverware though. Qualifying for the Champions League is great, but trophies should be our aim at the start of the season.
1-1 draw for this one, narrow win in a replay we dont need.
