Why is Wenger whining about the timing of his teams FA Cup clash with Newcastle?
Apparently, rather than forcing them to play on a Sunday evening, as the BBC would have been well within their rights to do so, this FA Cup quarter final will be played at 5:35 on the Saturday.
It's only kicking off two and a half hours later than it would without TV coverage, so I hardly think it's going to effect the team for their game on the Wednesday, is it?
To be honest, he's got better things to moan about than this, like the bans his players will doubtlessly recieve for upcoming important matches.
Anyway, what chance another Arsenal Spurs semi-final?

It's not Arsenal, it's the FA. Vieira's hearing has been delayed twice by them - no doubt waiting until they can suspend him in time for the big games.
Henry shouldn't actually miss any games, as he did not touch or abuse the referee. But no doubt he will.
Still, we've proven that we can beat big teams without them, so I'm not too worried about their absence... just about the FA's conspipracy.

Okay, the bottom line is that Arsenal are top of the league now. And the war of words between Ferige and Wenger has started again. Fergie complaining about Arsenal delaying thier FA hearings until the incidents are a little thing of the past...
Be interesting to see which games Vieria and Henry do actually miss...What with the Old Trafford trip only 4-5 games away...

Ah, fighting talk. Its all good.
Derby aint a bad side under Gregory. Arsenal been a few games without getting a red card aint they? Should be due one tomorrow :)

I wish we'd played Derby again before John Gregory arrived.

Of course you were - you were hoping that we would lose and make it easy for you. We're now 1 point behind with a game in hand... at least until we thrash Derby tomorrow and show you how it should be done, taking top spot at the same time. :-)

Sorry, but in my eyes the game was very boring. As soon as Arsenal scored that first goal i was depressed for the whole game. I sat and watched the whole 90 minutes and thought it was s***e.

End of the day, we should have won that game easy. we had 25+ attempts at goal. Thier keeper made quite a few quality saves. Derby only really came at us for the first few minutes and the last 15 or so. It wouldnt have been fair if we had lost.

Boring?! If that isn't looking through Man U-tinted specs, I don't know what is! Certainly far more entertaining than Sunday's DerbyUnited game - which Derby only failed to win after having a perfectly good goal disallowed by the fat bloated excuse for a referee.

A few? Eleven! Pretty much a whole first team! Shame the Man U-Arsenal game isn't coming up soon - would be three easy points for us on current form. :-)

Not as sick as United's made most of the population a few years ago, I bet. Still, you won't find anyone at Arsenal talking about that yet. One game at a time... we're not conceited enough to *expect* a Treble - especially if we field reserves in the FA Cup.

Pritty boring affair today.
Newcastle started brightly, but Arsenal looked pritty solid at the back.
Great piece of Skill by Bergkamp, not completly sure if he ment it but it looked good anyway...Turned the game anyway...
Could Argue Newcastle were missing a few players, but there again, so were Arsenal.
Newcastle need a win at Anfield in mid-week to get thier show back on the road...
As for Arsenal...Hmmmmm...Arsenal and the word "treble" in the same sentance make me sick.
Hopefully the cup game next week will be better.
