A day after losing at home to Swansea, Arsenal are drawn away to Welsh side in FA Cup as they bid to finally end trophy drought By DAVID KENT PUBLISHED: 14:57 GMT, 2 December 2012 | UPDATED: 15:33 GMT, 2 December 2012 Comments (6) Share Arsenal, who are bidding to end eight years without a trophy, must beat Swansea away to have any hope of landing the FA Cup. Arsene Wenger's side lost 2-0 at home to the Welsh side on Saturday as fans lose patience with the manager. And they now face a tricky trip to the Liberty Stadium in the third round. Liverpool will be away to non-league opposition - the winner of the replay between Lincoln and Mansfield. We meet again: Arsenal will travel to Swansea Manchester United travel to West Ham, while holders Chelsea have been draw away to Southampton. There is a repeat of the 1987 FA Cup final as Andre Villas-Boas' Tottenham will host Mark Robins' Coventry. Championship table toppers Crystal Palace will play hosts to Premier League Stoke. There will be plenty of Italian interest at The Etihad as Roberto Mancini's Manchester City will host Gianfranco Zola's high flying Watford. Play it again: Harrogate and Hastings will replay for the right to face Middlesbrough Two of the lowest teams left in the draw, Harrogate Town and Haistings, have Middlesbrough as the prize for whoever wins their replay. Of the other non-league teams, Barrow or Macclesfield will be at home to Cardiff and Luton will host Wolves. While Everton face a tricky trip to either Hereford or Cheltenham. League One Crawley, who have made the fifth round for the past two years, will have to get past struggling Premier League side Reading if they are to embark on another cup run. Ronnie Moore's Tranmere will test themselves away at Nigel Clough's Derby and Nottingham Forest will play Oldham. There are a number of all Championship ties with Charlton playing Huddersfield, Barnsley playing Burnley, Blackburn host Bristol City while Leeds will play Bolton.

I still remember getting home from the game and the g/f was shocked how upset I was!!! 4 sure we're gonna beat them, lets hope they put up a good show and they do something positive with the gate money. Ps famous ish coventry fan, the enemy's lead singer tom clarke he's got a season ticket, sad, sad boy.......

Now how did we all know that you would think that Well if you was a betting man who would you have your money on? Well let me see, about four years ago, you played Wet Spam at Pikey and i had 1000 baht on them. They won , 2-1 i think and i'd bet on them again in this cup tie...........unless you get a "penalty' again or HW or Halsey's reffing then i'd obviously abstain.
SantiSuk Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Lincoln v Liverpool catches the eye for me switching to my neutral hat and hoping that FA Cup turns up the usual shock result (which unfortunately a Swansea win over Arsenal would no longer be ).

Look on the bright side. It looks like Arsenals season will be over before christmas so you can relax and enjoy the second half of the season. 1

Although, things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better. Even rumours of SISU moving us out of the Ricoh to play in Rushden and Diamonds ground due to the arguments with ACL (who own the Ricoh) regarding the rent and non-payment of it. Think it's out of us and Portsmouth who go tits up first!!
