Results on the Day
In the previous two years the FA Cup has seen Bolton Wanderers take on Arsenal, so why should it be any different this year? It’s not. Three times in three years. Today will see the match played at the Reebok as the Whites held Arse to a draw in their last tie.
Although, Arsene Wegner won’t admit to the simple fact that he’s a bit scared of the Whites, as in recent years as they’ve come to be a sort of bogey team for the Gooners. In the last eight meetings of the two sides, Bolton have only lost once, and picked up all four wins at the Reebok, the place of tonight’s meeting. Admit it Wegner, Bolton’s your bogey. And while Wegner might be worried about the coming meeting, there is no doubt that Bolton boss Sam Allardyce will be feeling a bit of the jitters as well.
It should prove to be a tight match with both sides facing injuries. Although Kevin Davies will remain out with a bit of a knock, Henry will be "resting" for the Gooners, lucky for Jussi as there will be no one to taunt him if the Gooners score. Also, notorious nut-job Jens Lehmann will be taking the game off. Other injuries for the Whites include one of the Abdoulaye boys, Faye, will be missing and the other, Meite, remains doubtful with Bolton Relic Gary Speed. Arsenal will also be missing a few due to injuries and suspensions with Gallas, Flamini, and Eboue being injured, and Senderos being suspended.
How will it end? No one knows, but the winner will face Blackburn in the fifth round at home. The result’s and tension will be revealed soon as kick off is a mere two hours away.
Come on you Whites!
