Arsenal game on Club Website

[hailshamseagull]

It states on our own website Saturday 24th 3pm under fixture list section, is this confirmed??

No, that's a placeholder until the TV companies have confirmed which games they're showing

 

[TomandJerry]

Surely that means the club has confirmed it

No, it's always like that for every cup game.

I don't think it means they've confirmed it. I suspect they've just replaced "Ipswich" with "Arsenal" as a placeholder. If it had been confirmed there'd be a piece in the "News" section.

For reference the Arsenal site is currently showing

23/24/25/26 Jan !!

 

[shaolinpunk]

I'm hearing that it'll be on BT Sport on the Sunday - not clear what time kickoff will be though

Hoping for Friday or Saturday as I am flying to Lyons early Sunday morning for a few days work planned based on the Ipswich fixture and now can't be changed.

That's a lot of extra time they think we'll hold them too! It'll be like something out of Rollerball with last man's standing! The pitch scattered with dead bodies and just Inigo left!

Cald-er-on! Cald-er-on! Cald-er-on!

You're out of luck, I believe

You're out of luck, I believe

Sadly I suspect you are right

I imagine that TV games and Kick-offs etc. will be confirmed around lunchtime today?

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

It will be a crap game, tv companies you don't want to show this, no-one will tune in at all. (said in desperation as I can only make the game if it is played on the Saturday).

When I looked on that Albion App last night, we were due to be playing Arsenal AND Ipswich on Saturday 24th at 3pm

Hahaha! Unsure whether his team would be able to beat the mighty stripes using conventional measures, Arsene Wenger persuades the FA to allow him to field 22 players including 11 short term loanees to increase his chances. Your intrepid reporter sought a response from the Albion: "Yeah, whatever. We'll beat them anyway" commented a Mr C Hughton.
