You are joking right? Arsenal are one of the most famous teams in the world with a phenomenal history going back to the 1930's. And they could be playing at the Amex in a couple of weeks!!

Swansea play some nice football but that's it. I'll be pretty devastated if we end up playing them bearing in mind the alternative.

Agreed about the history but I can't exactly say I'll be devastated if Swansea win. Both play great football and it will be an incredibly tough test.

Good draw, fairly sure it will be on TV too because -

A) If Swansea get through, on paper it should be a good game because we both play the same style of football.
B) If Arsenal get through, its because there is good chance of an upset, with Bradford already knocking them out the League Cup.

Will be plenty of tickets free for this one considering all those up in arms at the Newcastle prices won't be buying tickets.......being people of principle and all that

Nothing do with principle, I couldn't be bothered to go yesterday but will go to this.

Nah. They'll go for Huddersfield-Leicester. Heard from a VERY good sauce. Can't say who, need to maintain NSC's integrity

Blackburn at home will be moved to a night game for this.

There's still 2 games to go. Mansfield v Liverpool and Cheltenham v Everton. No guarantee it will be on tele as there's been quite a few replays. If Mansfield or Cheltenham get a replay they will probably be on tele....

The replays are in 2 weeks and not the same weekend as 4th round ties.

Do you think fans will do the decent thing and buy a ticket to support the team whoever they play ?

Probably not, some of our fanbase of course were Arsenal fans before the Amex-era anyway - would be their first chance to see them live !!

But tickets wont be sold before the replay, too much hassle, will just be a speed sale before the game.

5 games on TV ? If Arsenal had won I'd put us in top 3 ties, now it's borderline top 5

This

Hard to select the five from this lot as they all could potentially be picked:
Norwich City v Luton Town (non league against top flight)
West Ham United or Manchester United v Fulham or Blackpool (possible all premier league game or against a recent top flight side doing fairly well in the league below)
Millwall v Aston Villa (chance of an upset)
Brighton & Hove Albion v Swansea City or Arsenal
Southend United or Brentford v Chelsea (Chelsea away to lower league side)
Reading v Sheffield United (chance of an upset)
Crystal Palace or Stoke City v Manchester City (possible all top flight game and potential for Man City to lose against either side that progresses)
Macclesfield Town v Wigan Athletic or AFC Bournemouth (non league side and possibly against top flight side)
