Brentford's Simpson eyeing Arsenal tie

9:00am Thursday 26th August 2010 in Brentford By Graham Moody

Arsenal fan Robbie Simpson is keeping his fingers crossed for a trip to the Emirates when the Carling Cup draw is announced on Saturday.

The winger scored a superb free-kick against Hull on Tuesday as Brentford progressed to the third round for the first time since 1991 and is now setting his sights on an even bigger test.

"We have either got to go one end of the scale or the other," he said.

"Being an Arsenal fan, I would like Arsenal away but I have always wanted to go to Anfield too so Liverpool away would be good.

"Or, we would like a League Two team at home so that maybe we can progress.

"What we don't want is another Championship team or one from our own league.

"All the players were saying after the Hull game that that's why we play football, for the feeling we had at the end of the match.

"They have just been relegated from the Premier League and kept quite a lot of their players so it was a fantastic result for the lads and thoroughly deserved as well."
