Glad Cardiff snubbed Millennium Stadium

After last year´s cup run there´s a lot of expectation about this season´s competition. Drawing Arsenal in the next round is very exciting and because of the history of the 1927 FA Cup final win against the Gunners there´s an added spice. There was some talk of moving the game to the Millennium Stadium but I´m really pleased that´s not going to happen and it´ll be played at Ninian Park.

Ninian Park is a real cauldron where the supporters create a fantastic atmosphere. Arsenal won´t relish a trip down here and I think it will be a bit old school for them and their fans. They are a quality side and have some amazing players but if we can keep our shape and take the game to them I think we have a really good chance. I´ve been in plenty of games when my team´s been odds on to win and we´ve been turned over. On the day it´s about who turns up.
