Leyton Orient 1-1 Arsenal

[haynab66]

1972 i was 10 saw orient lose 1-0 to arsenal alan ball scored, 1978 i was 16 saw orient lose 3-0 to arsenal in the semi-finals 2 dodgy own goals given to malcolm macdonald and 1 from rix, 33 years later, we get our goal we get a draw and now im going to watch the o's play at the emirates, we all now arsenal are on a different planet to orient when it comes to football but yesterday was about 10 seconds of magic that got my other team to the emirates, i cant wait, the score will not matter but it is nicely tucked between the carling cup final and the barcelona second leg so who knows, if canvey can stuff the thames road lot this week it will be great.

Similar type of game to the midweek Champions league where Barcelona dominated and Arsenal nicked it in the last quarter of an hour. Arsenal dominated this game and one good 5 minute spell at the end of the game earnt Orient a draw. Loved the scenes at the end of the game, its what the FA Cup used to be all about. Should expect a comfortable win for Arsenal at the Emirates, but as HAYNABB66 says, its sandwiched between 2 much harder games. Was going to say more important, the Champions league game yes, but is the Carling Cup Final more important than an FA Cup replay?? Probably because its Arsenals best bet for a trophy this season!!!

What was great was how the Orient fans never stopped singing for the 90, even seconds after Arsenal scored. They deserved the equaliser, and the way they got it was pure FA Cup!

If an Arsenal player had scored that goal they'd be raving about it for years.

 

Great piece of skill and a brilliant finish. Well done to Orient for hanging on in there and keeping the game alive despite Arsenal's dominance.
