1-1, the FA-cup, Matchroom Stadium, 20/2 -11
Rosicky 53
It seems like shipping in a goal in the dying minutes can only be described as "the beauty of the FA-cup" .... Don't know if I completely agree with that when it comes to Arsenal getting yet another game in a already tight schedule... But we're just gonna have to take it and make something better of it at our own ground. (Besides, what kind of name is "Matchroom" for a stadium anyway!?)
Leyton Orient fought really well throughout the entire game, to be honest they probably deserved a draw after all that effort they put in, but it was us who took the lead after a rather uneventful first half.
This was not a sentence I thought I would say before the game but Bendtner provided a really good cross for Rosicky (of all people!) to head in! Its usually the other way around, but this obviously work as well!
Ignasi Miquel made his debut in this game, and he played really well, can't recall a single mistake or anything like that, he even showed some great footwork and made his way past several Orient players on one occasion!
But eventually Leyton Orient got a draw when they equalized in the 88th minute..
Now we look ahead though to the game on wednesday against Stoke! We certainly need another three points! And after that we've got a juicy cup final against Birmingham on Sunday!! Excited anyone?
Injury Update;
-Basically the entire team that played against Barcelona was rested for this game (Song the only one left), but no serious injury from that game nor this game.
