No doubt Arteta will blame some 16 year old he selected to start. That's what you get for taking the piss Arteta

He and the club would have forgotten about it by the morning. That’s the only real shame

Said the same thing. If they lose he's sticking it straight on the 16yo, like they didn't have 85mins before the red card to win the game..

Well done Fleetwood, 5 superb penalties

As for Dowman I didn’t think it was that much but like YY he gave the ref a decision to make…as they say.

Arteta’s comment at the end didn’t appear very supportive. I have often thought that 15/ 16 year olds should not be playing senior football.Thats his second red card already and you do begin to think if this wonder kid tag can backfire on them.

Bradford and Fleetwood into the QFs. Some big PL teams are guaranteed to be knocked out too.

This is turning into a big chance for silverware.

It shows how important cup football and the pyramid is in this country and sport.

All the way down to the JPT................................. Tradition etc is so important.

Trying to dilute it all and even mention of removing it for the benefit of the elite clubs should be rejected by all.

What a result. There are people there tonight who will live off that result for the rest of their lives.

Probably less than 16 year old Dowman gets per week.

Think they may have collected around £100k TV money but the actual distribution of TV monies is top, top secret apparently. The 100k figure comes from 2020...

Grok, on X, saying Arsenal "youth" side played Fleetwood.
So disrespectful.

Was the drone delay caused by Arteta droning on with his team talk?

Arsenal probably got confused by seeing Fleetwood playing in their home strip!

You can never forecast a Cup match, even though Arsenal odds were 1/25 to win.

Have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed that. Proper old school feel. As has been said, for all our achievements in the past 10-12 years, we can never replicate the sheer joy felt from a giant killing.

Backs to the wall, tackles flying in and Lego Head with a face like a smacked ar5e, both when they went down to 10 and after the penalty save.

5 great pens. Great result for football.

Salisbury, the ref, was born about 20 miles from Fleetwood, and about 220 miles from North London.

Just saying!

and? You think he's biased or corrupt? Seems to be a serious allegation to throw about to be honest.

Rather like saying that someone born in Fulham would favour QPR, Chelsea and Brentford.

There’s also a clip of AFTV with one of their fans making mention of the shorter length of pitch. Now in fairness it’s in context of “fine margins” potentially affecting the outcome rather than the reason they lost. But even so…. 😂

Fleetwood now dreaming of a glamour tie in QFs, going to be Bradford away isn’t it🙄

Dowman made a hell of a lot more contact

He didn't lol watch it back, his leg was already tangled up with the player so the merest of actual contact. Not convinced it was even a red card having watched it multiple times tbh.

Would never have been a red in the PL. At most ref would have given a yellow, and waited for VAR to send him to the monitor. IMHO nothing in the replays to suggest anything more that isnt already awaved away in games most weekends.

Salisbury's only done 3 PL games this season and only 13 last and isn't considered one of the elite list. Last night he proved why...

Sorry, but its a red card all day long. Doesn't matter what came before. He has kicked the Fleetwood player.

Salisbury has been on the PL for five years - refs have been taken off for much less.

Anyone suggesting that his age should be taken into account is completely wrong in my opinion. The day he pulled on his first team shirt he was considered old enough to play and therefore he's old enough to be sent off. And that was a red card offence. He petulantly kicked out at a player. This was worse in every sense than YY's "headbutt" and he got a 3 game ban. I don't care if people think it was soft or harsh. Tough, you play in the big boy leagues now pal. Accept that challenges like that will happen and accept the consequences of your actions.

By the way if a Bees player made that tackle in front of the West Stand the roar of appreciation would be deafening. Nothing wrong with it. I don't care what the Talksport dinosaurs think.

Should be taken into account as of how manager receives him on the touchline, fair enough.

Should be taken into account as to fan reactions, sure. Fan<->player relations can often quite easily get toxic, and any effort to make it more livable is probably fair.

Should be taken into account as of the actual foul and refereeing result? no chance in hell

Just read the ref tonight v Sunderland is from Surrey. Probably a ManUtd supporter.

The Singh Gill family has three referees, dad and two sons. They are locals which has made my son’s habit of screaming at the lino a bit awkward at times because he knows the official isn’t actually blind but he can’t stop himself, he does tone down the swearing tbf. Bhups Singh Gill is also a PE teacher at a school in Hounslow.

Won’t hear a word said against any of them.

We have ourselves had someone from Bees territory as an official at our games. Not sure how many people know this.

Premier League: Sikh-Punjabi assistant referee Bhupinder Singh Gill makes English football history

Bhupinder Singh Gill makes Premier League history in Southampton vs Nottingham Forest as first Sikh-Punjabi assistant ref; dad Jarnail: “For the Sikh community and all South Asians who dream of a career in the game, seeing Bhupinder officiate in the Premier League is massive.”
