Arsenal have been drawn against Man Utd at home in the third round of the 2024/25 FA Cup.
The match will take place between the 10th -13th of January with the exact time depending on whether it’s selected for broadcast in the UK.
Arsenal remains the FA Cup’s most decorated club, having won it 14 times. However, we’ve not progressed past the fourth round in the last four seasons. After winning the competition six months into Mikel Arteta’s tenure, we’re long overdue a decent run.
It’s a tough start to the competition though, against Premier League opposition. The sides last met in the cup in January 2019 when we were beaten 3-1 at home, with the previous meeting in 2015 when goals from Danny Welbeck and Nacho Monreal gave us a 2-1 win at Old Trafford.
Whatever man, I just want the PL or CL
Everything else is a bonus
I’m just so tired of us still not having a PL in ages. I’m exhausted
Your personal life won’t change one bit if Arsenal win the prem or if they don’t. This thought should help.
…I think you’re in the wrong place.
If Arsenal wins? It will definitely change our lives. You’re underestimating what happiness does to a human.
You will be happy for a couple of days. Most of the people in your life who aren’t arsenal fans either won’t care and won’t understand what you’re so happy about, or they support other clubs and will actively dislike you for it. Then at latest a week later your life will go back to normal other than the odd flashback, and if you were a miserable geezer before you’ll still be a miserable geezer, albeit one who occasionally flashes a smile when they think about one of the umpteenth goals Big Gabi smashed into the net from a corner.
My Aldershot supporting mate says the same
I’m with you
Fvcking hell! Of all the teams we could have drawn, why did it have to be a fellow Big 6 side this early?!
Big 6 ? 😅
I think the big 6 should go back to the big 3. It’s only 3 team that have a real challenge to win the league. The others are looking for CL.
But I understand why they say big 6 for advertising reasons. Just like every Sunday is Super Sunday bollox!!
We’re the Arsenal, they only have an ammo rim.
big what?
Pain in a**e.
We wanted a nice easy draw so that we could rest players. I hope Arteta takes this seriously and plays a full-strength side.
At least we’re at home.
I want him to take the FA cup seriously this year. Winning some silverware would be good for him (and us).
If City were 9 points ahead of us I’d agree, but nah fuck that I’d go all in on the league. Hunt liverpool down like city did to us for the last two years. An fa cup won’t lift me if liverpool win the league. This team is built to win the league.
There’s plenty of time and youth in the squad to go trophy hunting once we break the big one.
Nice! We pulled a really sh!t team at home.

Mmmmm……
No doubt if we get through, we’ll get Liverpool or City away in the 4th round. Some will call it a coincidence.
Man City v Salford and Liverpool v Accrington also felt overly coincidental
Yeah baby, bring it on!
Get in! Love beating those wankers in the cup.

Let’s start by putting the fear into them on Wednesday.
Well we just came up against Amorim’s team last Tuesday. That ended well 🙂 He’s currently hard at work teaching his new players how to play exactly like that. In fairness, it was very good… until they played Arsenal.

Spank them to start that sequence, and by the time they crawl back here again we’ll be able to knock them over with a feather.
I will allow them to catch a win against Liverpool, though.
Fuck it! Regardless of the rest of the FA Cup, lets send them packing with s decisive win. They’re shit and we’re not. Just piss on their parade and make them sad.
