Who do you want to win and therefore play against? I personally think we have a better chance of beating Arsenal - Looking forward to what looks like a sell out game! roll on:albion2:

I hope we get Arsenal as it is more of a glamour tie and they are more beatable than Swansea

I hope we get arsenal, Its all about the Glamour. Plus i also think we would have a better chance of beating them, slim as it may be. Currently Swansea are just too consistant. although I do worry about the pace of Arsenal.

Arsenal. They have a lot of games in a short space of time I believe. They may rest a couple so we have more chance of causing a shock.

If anyone has a decent link to a stream for tonight, It would be appreciated. TA

Would definitely prefer Arsenal in the next round but at least if it was Swansea it would be a lovely game of football to watch!

Walcott would destroy Abd and Greer but you never know which Arsenal are going to turn up where you can pretty much guarantee Swansea will beat us.

I think we have a better chance against Arsenal but any chance is extremely low in either case. We don't want another Liverpool style dicking.

I hope it's Arsenal. More glamourous obviously, and I'd say our chances aren't much different whoever we play.

For some reason, getting battered at home to Swansea would be far more of a damp squib than losing to Arsenal.

Not bothered either way. It's going to be a great occasion whichever team gets through. And with the amount of games going on around that time, we may have a decent chance of a result.

Does anyone know anything about the ticket allocations for Swansea/Arsenal?

I don't know why so many people think we'd beat Arsenal. Yes, Bradford beat an almost full strength team but don't forget the difference in quality of the pitch. I think both Arsenal and Swansea would comfortably beat us. In answer to the question, I'd prefer Arsenal because they have a better all round team and the atmosphere would be better.

I'd like it to be Arsenal for the fact that it's my 25th year of supporting BHAFC and my first ever game was Albion v Arsenal in the FA Cup so it would have a nice sort of symetry to it.

I heard 40000 for Swansea and 20000 for Arsenal. Might have got my wires crossed somewhere though so don't treat it as gospel.

I like Swansea. I like Arsenal. Don't mind, really. Obviously Arsenal have more "name" players you'd like to see step out at the Amex, and will be wanting to win the FA Cup quite desperately I would think. That being said, being desperate to win a trophy can have negative effects (ie. Bradford). Swansea are a team I like to do well, and have players I, personally, really like such as Routledge, Dyer, Michu, Britton and Hernandez.

Both games should be really good to watch, and both games we have a slight chance of causing an upset. On the balance of it, I think I'd say Arsenal, as if we do beat them it will be "more" of a shock to the media but I would love to see us play Swansea as well.

Pretty much the perfect draw
