Football is a funny old game. One minute you're beating Barcelona and in the throes of joy, the next you concede a late equaliser to a lower league team in the cup and back comes the despair and misery.

Ok, maybe not despair and misery, not here at least. There are those that like to have a good wallow and that's how considerate this Arsenal team are.

Why am I not pissed off?
We have just drawn against a side that are two divisions below us and I am not the slightest bit annoyed.
In fact, and this is a proper fact, I was more annoyed when I rolled in dogs shit during my Sunday league match earlier than when Leyton Orient equalised.

So, FA Cup 5th round time and we're off to play Leyton Orient.

The magic of the cup was evident yesterday as first Anelka, then Cashley, missed penalties to send holders Chelsea crashing out. We have to hope the magic is our boots today and not in those of potential giant killers. I've always felt Arsenal going out of the FA Cup to lower league opposition isn't very magical at all, really.
