Cup Final Double Or Quits on Arsenal to Win? What ya say DTH.

Anyway... GET IN THERE.

I hate leeds but they did a job.

And the best thing is that Arsenal Lost it in front of their own fans thats just great.

Hey Arsene looks like the power has not shifted anywhere.

We shall not, we shall not be moved

[Danny Top Hat]

Double or quits it is! [ok]

And bleh, we didn't wanna win the title anyway.

Yeah the FA cup is where its at isnt that right mate.

So if Southampton beats you i owe you ?10 and if Arsenal win then we are even right?

[Danny Top Hat]

Right.

Hee!  I'll be able to buy a whole album!

[GnFnRs2016]

Real Madrid won today vs Juventus, a well played match, but as a Real Madrid fan, I don?t know if it?s gonna be enough the 2-1 difference.  [no]

[Jim]

God almighty bloody fucking christs f'ing sake.

Juvi better win the home leg  

[Danny Top Hat]

Shit, I forgot!

I'll watch the highlights tonight...

[Miz]

God almighty bloody fucking christs f'ing sake.

Juvi better win the home leg  

But Ronaldo's goal was awesome....and Zidane is beautiful to watch.

But, I really want Juve to go through..I've always had a soft spot for them since the days of Champ Man 2...

[Gnrfan]

I fancy Madrid to score in Italy which means to win Juve will have to score 3.... not sure thats gonna happen.

I can see Madrid winning in extra time

[Danny Top Hat]

Wow.  We sure know how to perform when it matters...

[Jim]

Wow.  We sure know how to perform when it matters...

 [hihi]

I looked at the, er, team...who the fuck is Garry?! Never heard of him before.

I would laugh if you lost the FA cup to that lot now  

I think that the bet that I will have on the FA cup final is for either team to win 3-2
Should have reasonaly good odds, and should keep the interest up untill the end of the game.

And, seeing as it is pointless betting on a good player to score first, maybe I will put my money on Garry  

[Danny Top Hat]

Well, my theory is that Southampton lost that game on purpose.  It'll work out well for them, cause now we think the final's gonna be a walkover.  It won't.

Have any of my predictions let me down this season?

Tenner for me! [ok]

[Jim]

Pah!  

Argh.

Fucking...  

...hell  

Oh well.

There's always next season.

And, I know that many of you won't agree, Danny and the like, but I honestly think that if we play our best, are able to field our front side, free from injurys, and all of our players fulfill their potential, and we get some good signings over the summer, then I truely believe in the depths of my heart that we will manage to avoid relegation  [smoking]

[rofl] [rofl] [rofl]


And, I bet you're all jealous, we can get relegated, but we still break records  [hihi].

(I'm laughing on the outside, but crying on the inside...and have been for 4 weeks...and probably will be for a few years yet...)

[the dirt]

SHEVCHENKO!!

Not that i like any of those inter teams, though

[Jim]

SHEVCHENKO!!

Meh.

I expected better from a Milan derby.

I didn't really mind who won, but I kinda wanted Inter to.

But, my team, Juve will beat Real  

And then AC in the final  

Can't wait for Juve Real.

edit: You have to admit, it has been a fucking good Champions league this year.

[Jim]

Fucking disgraceful.

Pah, you make your own luck?

Fuck you were lucky for your goal  

Now, before I rant, I will admit that Arsenal played very well. Yes, they are a world class team (in theory) and they did play better than Southampton.

But there was no fucking excuse for what happened in the last six minutes.

Some of you may know that I hate the side of the game where players look for free kicks or penalties, or try to time waste.

And I thought that Arsenal trying to hold the ball in the corner was a fucking disgrace.

The claim to be Europeon class, so there should be no fucking need for those tactics.

I think that those tactics are acceptable for a division one two or three side who are up against opposition a few leagues higher than themselves, in a game which they are expected not to win.
They will be desperate to win: those tactics are acceptable.
But not for supposadly " the best side in England" (Arsene).

I cannot believe that a team of internationals had to resort to that.

They would have probably won it anyway, so why resort to that desperation?

If they are as good as Arsene Wenger claims, they could have played right up untill the whistle was blown. They didn't even wait untill stopage time.

Maybe that could be excuseable if they were in the Champions League final, against another world class team like Real Madrid. Maybe.
But not against a team who can only qualify for the second rate europeon cup through the back door.

It just shows that Arsenal were extremly desperate to have at least some comeback against Manchester Untied, who have still without doubt had a better season than them.

I could go on for ages.

But I won't. I just thought that it was fucking terrible to watch.


Also, I did gain some respect for Henry when, after only twenty seconds, he could have easily gone down in the Penalty area after being pulled back, and, not only put Arsenal more than likely one up, but also reduced Southampton to ten men before the game had begun. In short, won the match in the first minute. But he didn't, and I admired that.

However, I lost that respect when he then dived in the penalty area later on to try and end the game. And finally, his fucking appauling actions of trying to hold the ball in the corner. He is a world cup and europeon cup winner, he shouldn't have to resort to that.


In short, Arsenal deserved to win the game, but won it the cowards way, without dignity.

I would've have loved for Beattie to score in the last minute of the match, so close.

Good positioning of Ashley Cole.

Anyway, bastards.

And yes, I am bitter, and I am jealous  

Edit: Oh yeah, btw, it wasn't a bad FA cup final. But, you didn't expect me to post any admiration for Arsenal did you?  

[Danny Top Hat]

Blah, get over yourself.  It's perfectly within the rules to hold the ball in the corner, just like it's in the rules to pass it around in your own penalty area for ages, trying to run the clock down.  Arsenal play to win, not to entertain Spurs fans.

I think that those tactics are acceptable for a division one two or three side who are up against opposition a few leagues higher than themselves

Why?  I hope you are not suggesting that rules should be brought in that only account for the larger teams.  Should we introduce weights on Henry's boots as well?

Agree totally on the dive.  I was dead proud of him in the first minute, but the dive later on was so unnecessary and obvious.  Methinks he was frustrated with not scoring but still, no excuse.

Yay for the goal, but other than that, Pires can suck my fucking dick.  I hope we do sell him to Real Madrid, and get some money out of him now.  He's had a rubbish season, he's been one of our big let-downs, and he actually has the nerve to criticise our ambitions and make "subtle" hints to Real.  Wonder how much we could get for him...

Hurrah!  FA cup for the Arse!

Nah, it would be impossible to introduce a rule against it, but it's just a side of the game that I don't like.

I mean, remmember the "boring boring Arsenal" chants  

I would just prefer to watch a team play up untill the last minute.

And come on. I'm a Spurs fan, I had to complain about something  

[Danny Top Hat]

I mean, remmember the "boring boring Arsenal" chants

Yep, I remember.  We didn't care then and we won't now.
