So it's Arsenal v Huddersfield then?



Three cheers for us!  Huddersfield Town did not join Sunderland, Middlesbro' or Newcastle in being knocked out of the third round by lower or non-league sides yesterday. They had a comfortable win over Dover Athletic with goals from Scott Arfield and Gary Roberts in the 7th and 8th minute. Phew! So we take c. £64,000 as a reward for winning (thank you very much) and march on to the 4th round.

And guess who we've got?  The winners of the replay between Leeds and Arsenal. Leeds were unlucky not to win outright yesterday but Arsenal equalised in the 90th minute to make it one-all. No disrespect to Tom but I hope Arsenal win the replay. We know we probably won't beat Arsenal but going out to one of the top teams in the country makes it a spectacular exit. Going out to Leeds (should that happen)makes it irritating.
The 4th Round of the FA Cup will be interesting. All eyes will be on Paul Peschisolido's  League 2 side Burton Albion who beat Middlesbro 2-1 and Stevenage who beat Newcastle 3-1.
