Alastair Campbell Summarises The Arsenal Game.

This time last year, with Championship Burnley taking on and beating a succession of London Premier League sides, the line "Capital Punishment" was used to market the Cup run. Wins against Fulham, Chelsea and Arsenal, and the overturning of a three-goal first-leg deficit against Spurs, who needed an extra time semi-final goal to break our hearts,

made it one of the greatest Cup runs in Burnley's history.

So with two of those sides at Turf Moor in the last few days, we were hoping for Capital Punishment 2. Alas, as with movies, sometimes in football things turn out not to be quite so spectacular second time around.

But a point against Fulham in a match we might well have lost, followed by a point against Arsenal in a match we could well have won, made for plenty of excitement and entertainment.
