Leyton Orient vs Arsenal

I got a strong feeling that Leyton Orient will pull off one of the biggest shocks of this season by defeating Arsenal in the FA Cup fifth round tomorrow. Who the heck is Leyton Orient anyway? Sounds more like some departmental store name. It is just another English club two or three divisions below Arsenal.

According to Singapore Pools' website, the current odds for Leyton Orient to win on the 1X2 is $8 while a draw only amounts to $5.25. For those who love taking risks, selecting draw-home for the half/full time double bet type will yield a profit of 20 times.

This has always been the case in the FA Cup for the past few years. An unsuspecting game where an elite team plays a lower division side usually ends up with an unexpected result. Manchester United and Liverpool are fine examples of what I mean.

People might think "the Gunners came from a goal down to beat mighty Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday, so what is Leyton Orient?". However, as I have always said, the ball is round so anything can happen. Furthermore, Leyton Orient have nothing to lose in this match.

I am predicting Leyton Orient to win this game with a 2:0 scoreline. My apologies to all Arsenal supporters.
