Must be the weather, then?
Ah, but you must remember that FIFA is a 'non-profit making organisation'. I believe they refer to this money as a 'surplus'.
But of course I was there!Jaffa, did you go to the game today? Wondered what you thought about Ramsey and JET for Cardiff today..
but can't be greedy!
I've been wondering the same myself. He's certainly done okay for us at this level, and if Sczesny and Fabianski have things covered then there seems little point keeping him at Arsenal, given that he's over 21 so you'd basically be giving up a valuable squad place to a third choice 'keeper.
Cripes. That's never a good move, if you ask me.Oops, looks like Ashley Cole pulled a Dick Cheney, shooting and wounding a young staffer with an air rifle at the Chelsea training ground.
The only two finals Arsenal have won this century were the other two FA Cups where only 1 goal was scored in both matches. So statto time - in all six finals Arsenal have contested since 2000 they have not been able to score more than one goal per game, and have had four players sent off.
So if Arsenal score twice today and not get a red card, it'll be a turn up for the books.
Don't beat yourself up too much about putting your principles aside for 90 minutes – folk were backing Crawley against Manchester United a few weeks back, and with their unknown benefactors ploughing huge sums into the club and a manager convicted of criminal fraud from his time at Boston United, the Sussex outfit aren't exactly angels themselves....I will care not a whit for Russian gangster crime bosses being treated as respectable businessmen and owners and pretend their team of boy-toys paid for with stolen money are actually a legitimate football club and so deserving of my full support.
One that immediately springs to mind, 2-0 Arsenal Chelsea FA Cup Final 2002. Ooooo aaahh Ray Parlour with a screamer, and Freddie following it up with one of my favourite goals ever.
Same season we won the league at Old Trafford
I expect Chelsea to come out all guns blazing against United, even their defenders are shooting on sight these days.
Have Arsenal announced any plans for the open top bus route should they win this afternoon, now that the League Cup is considered a proper trophy?
XIII you off, then? Final I mean, not the bus.
D'oh! The Double year. Bugger me how could I forget that one? And my fave player of all time too (I have his shirt number on my replica kit). Totally stuffs up my stats then, but that's a good thing. Arsenal 2-0 then!
Looking back now that was quite a good period there with Ray and Paddy and Manu. And Thierry and DB10 and We Love You Freddie. 4 FA Cup finals in 5 years. 5 in 8. It all seems to have dried up with that loss in the CL final and they all drifted away. Fabregas just came at the end of all that so hopefully this could be the dawn of a new one.
Yep, and we've won there too so no pressure on you or owt.Yes, off in a minute.. quite looking forward to it. I haven't been to new Wem-ber-lee yet, I think you're one up in that respect?!
Check out his top ten goals (the 2002 one against Chelsea is #1 of course):
