Are words needed?? Hull & Arsenal join as one…..

Hull City fans and Arsenal fans are set to join together as one 56 minutes into today’s FA Cup Final at Wembley to remember the victims of the Valley Parade fire.

Last weekend marked the 29th anniversary of the disaster, in which 56 people lost their lives after a fire took hold in the main stand as Bradford City played Lincoln City.

Although no official mark of remembrance has been planned for today, Hull City and Arsenal supporters will be holding a minuteโ€™s applause on 56 minutes

So low key compared to the publicity Hillsborough got and keeps on getting, yet so many lives lost…..

She wore, She wore, She wore a yellow ribbon!

She wore a yellow ribbon in the merry month of May.

And when, I asked, her why she wore that ribbon.

She said its for the Arsenal and we’re going to Wembley!

Wembley! Wembley! We’re the famous Arsenal and we’re going to Wembley..

Bad!
Bad!

Horrid moment!!

Horrid to witness.....
Horrid!!!!!

Cruel!!

What a mess....
Ghastly…
Heartbreaking to watch....
And Heartbreaking….

What more does Arsene Wenger need to see?

What more do the players need to see?

What we fans don’t need to see is a replication of the scenes we all witnessed after our last trip to Wembley!

There should be no need for words.

This is an FA Cup Final and every single person involved at Arsenal should know what that means.

Pride, passion, attitude and 100% commitment….

Get out there boys and give everything you have to make sure this trophy with the big ears comes home and you all join the greats who have done so before you….

Can we??
Can we??

ย COYRRG’S!!!!!!

    Arteta to do what Cesc, RVp failed to do… lift a cup.

    Scott how quiet are the bin dippers down your patch since their collapse? ๐Ÿ™‚

    Good read Rico… I totally agree with the point about the not forgotten 56.

    Lets SILENCE the daft pundits…

  2. Scott From Oz says:

    I have very fond memories of our last trip to Wembley….It got us to the final ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. Scott From Oz says:

    Ginge, Your timing is impeccable…… am in a room with two of them now, and their silence is golden!!

  4. tsgh says:

    You are most probably the only 1 or 2 blogger(s) who will cover it…

    then again they will touch on it quickly in their post after reading yours…

  5. rico says:

    Good, I hope they do because those who lost their lives deserve to be remembered, and their families deserve for them not to be forgotten…..

  6. tsgh says:

    Lol.. Scott…

    I even know a couple of Fijians who 4 weeks ago were sudden hardcore scousers; they have gone back to rugby all of a suddeen. ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. Rick says:

    At last one was posted . Its a nice sunny day to get the monkey off our back, but come to think of it it is allready at the chavs.
    Kev I thought your posts were great this week and the one about cup final ticketswas spot on. Rico if I was Arsene I would stick this mornings post on the dressing room wall.
    All for now will be back later(when I have slowed down)

  8. BrainwashedKev says:

    Morning Rick, you take if easy mate…

    A very good friend of mine swears by vaping Rick, he is so slowed down that he’s almost in reverse… ๐Ÿ˜‰

  9. BrainwashedKev says:

    Gotta say that another very good friend of mine has a very intelligent, delightful daughter, who he is bringing up wonderfully well…
    Another Gooner coming along nicely… ๐Ÿ™‚

  10. Bt62 Gooner says:

    She wore,she wore…morning all.Scott, sing your colleagues a wee song to cheer them up!! I’m i going to fast? lol

  11. Scott From Oz says:

    BT, I am singing bud…..haven’t stopped all day!
    Wore my Ramsey away kit to work and copped a few comments!!

  12. Bt62 Gooner says:

    Good on ye Scott,sent the misses and her mate off at 7am with a song. lol! Could hardly sleep with all the scenarios going through my head and that song. lol

  13. Scott From Oz says:

    Guys, will there be a Cup final special edition shirt at all, because I want one!!
    Any ideas?

  14. Adam says:

    Morning again. Truly Churchillian Rico.
    Blimey, it’s muggy in London this morning.
    As long as we show up we should be ok I think. I have got my lucky t-shirt on. The one with the egg stain on the front.

  15. Scott From Oz says:

    Adam, I have Ramsey away on, and he’s playing, so we just win….it’s easy when you have a plan ๐Ÿ™‚

  16. El Tel 1 says:

    Come on you Gunners.

    Make us feel good today.

    Go into the History books as the team who started the new era of trophies for this great Club.

    The Arsenal fans deserve this trophy.

    Keep calm and dont play with the handbrake on. If we score early go for goals to kill them off.

    If they take the lead, throw the kitchen sink at it.

    Make this final memorable.

    Lets see the masses in the Streets of Islington tomorrow in full party mood. This is the thing that lifts players on to bigger things more than anything else in my opinion.

    Hull relying on showing pictures of our pre planned open top bus even though they have p.anned the same thing.

    Lets not give them respect and smash them.

    I am going for Ozil to be MOM and Poldi to score.

    It’s like a team who’s going to win the FA Cup, we shall not be moved.

  17. BrainwashedKev says:

    Hi Rico, I’m outside Costa Coffee, Grays Inn Rd having a cuppa..

    I’m groggy with anticipation Rico… ๐Ÿ˜€

  18. snaparse says:

    can’t wait……….I’m so nervous…..put ยฃ80 on Ramsey getting a goal….COYG….between nice read rico

  19. BrainwashedKev says:

    Not seen many Hull Tigers fans….

    Maybe most of the Town are going to watch the Rugby League instead?

  20. rico says:

    Hi Kev, still in London then?? Fab…

    I too am very groggy with nerves, might have to have a Kingfisher soon to calm me down ๐Ÿ˜‰

  21. rico says:

    Thanks snaparse..

    Kev, I loved their parade plans, the bus is set to start off at 5pm… ๐Ÿ˜› ๐Ÿ™‚

  22. goonster says:

    Am still b shitting myself. My eyes are twitching. My limbs quaking. Lips drawn back. Hair disheveled. Clothes torn and reeking of stale alcohol. God help me. It’s cup final. Am petrified. The Ghost of Birmingham is back to haunt me.

  23. goonster says:

    Rico we haven’t won a trophy in a decade. Am in turmoil. What if we bottle it again? Hull has nothing to lose. They haven’t got players going to the world cup. It’s their cup final literally. Bruce could as well park his bug gut in front of goal and play for penalties. Christ help me.

  24. rico says:

    This group of players are experienced internationals Goonster, as long as they are all up for it, we should be ok…

    Just ๐Ÿ˜‰

  25. goonster says:

    Hey Scott I need what you took brother. Hennessey don’t work. Am delirious and petrified. That’s a terrible combination. Howdy allezkev.

  26. goonster says:

    Rico in 2011 we had the same “experienced internationals” yet succumb to a relegated Birmingham filth. To make matters worse obafemi martins a shit of a player scored the easiest of goals. Even the dead queen mother won’t miss from such range.

  27. goonster says:

    I ll be watching this one from under my ved. Gosh look at me shake. Damn you dirk van hoosen. You did this to me.

  28. rico says:

    goonie, they have matured and grown together…

    If they can’t win today, they don’t deserve to…..

  29. goonster says:

    Rico I want to believe you maam. I really want to but I have a bad feeling about this. And it’s not leaving.

  30. rico says:

    I’m not overly confident either goonster, but no point in getting stressed about something which hasn’t even happened yet….

  31. goonster says:

    Do you think we can win this? Seriously I want to believe. I want to get out of this state I am. Am a mess. I ve sent the baby to her granny’s and cassie is in the hospital. Am alone rico and shitting myself.

  32. goonster says:

    She is doing alright maam. Just left her a few hours ago. To get some sleep and watch the game. At this rate I ll probably follow it online here. Can’t seem to get myself out of my quagmire.

  33. Adam says:

    Stan. Take it from your friend Adam that, as long as we turn up properly, we will be ok. ๐Ÿ™‚

  34. potter says:

    On the David Carradine programme Kung Fu , the Shaolin Monk guy with the ping pong ball eyes said something that has stuck with me throughout life . Addressing the young pupil he said :- “”Grasshopper why worry , circumstances will not change. “” I guess it’s just another way of saying Que Sera,
    Take a deep breath Goonie , cream rises to the top and in this case we are the cream.

  35. Adam says:

    Yes Stan. Tell her we are all behind her and you.

    Scott. With you around, how could I forget that? ๐Ÿ™‚
    I told you he would come good didn’t I? ๐Ÿ™‚

  36. goonster says:

    I will mama bear…thanks. adam I need your strength compadre. We need this cup so bad. I need it like crazy. If we don’t win this….I don’t know how am gonna survive through it. That Birmingham debacle is still fresh in my memory.

  37. Adam says:

    Stan. If we win I am going to boil Durham down for glue in celebration as I know you will approve of that.

  38. goonster says:

    Hahahahahahhaha yeah go ahead adam. You have my unwavering consent. Plus my roof needs patching. Durham’s gob ll fit nicely. ๐Ÿ˜€

  39. goonster says:

    Some videos please….SYG ginge Emma where art thou? Something to take away the gloom surrounding me. I need some videos guys. Anything.

  40. goonster says:

    My cousin back home…the rat bastartd has been calling and leaving me messages in scary voices. He even sent me a compilation of our biggest cock ups. The final against galatasary, the cup final that made Owen the puffed up turd he is. The barfa final where we couldn’t hold on. The chelsea final when Drogba hit us real hard and to cap it off the Birmingham disaster. Am at my wits end adam.

  41. BrainwashedKev says:

    Stan, treat yourself to a glass of Nigerian Guiness, it never fails, well that’s what Micko says and he is an expert of all kinds of West African Guiness…

  42. goonster says:

    Uhhhh AK you re up to something there. Nigerian guiness huh? It just might work but the question is where to find it????

  43. goonster says:

    Yeah I know but I was hoping you know where I can find one on such short notice. You know as a cabbie. You guys know all kinds of stuff. Be a pal kev and point me in the direction ๐Ÿ˜€

  44. ozgunner says:

    Goonster – You have the right to worry given the teams poor showing so many times this year, when Wenger and his charges have built games up like this. Bit of a no win really mate – if we win everyone says, so they should. If we mess it up people, the press mainly, will destroy us. Hard situation. We just need to play the game and get settled, we might have to be patience but an early goal would be brilliant and mess up their game plan big time i think

  45. potter says:

    You can get Nigerian Guiness on line ,

    Just send them your bank account details, all security pins , and your name and passport number and you will be fine.

  46. frednerk says:

    Afternoon All..(sound like a copper).
    Out with some west ham men last night,all asking me what score to-day,surely it will be 4 or 5 nil won’t it.
    What have they got up front nothing,they will pack the midfield and hope to get a free kick here or there.
    So what will we do,
    We can hope wenger will instruct our players to get wide,Hull will then double up the full backs,to stop that route,this when Podolski,must drift inside and get the knock downs from Giroud,with us having to cross from deeper positions,this is how we should approach this game to start with.
    If we can get an early goal,it should be 4/5 nil.

  47. goonster says:

    Oz we have a truck load of players heading to the world cup. I don’t think they ll wanna get stuck in and risk injury. That’s my biggest fear. Hull ll make this as physical as they can. The question is can we dish it our back. Personally I ll rest ozil and start with TR7 Rambo and arteta. Poldi ll always bring his A game to the pitch. OG has to play to put pressure on their cb pairing with leaves one more player and trust me it’s not santi!

  48. AndrewH13 says:

    Afternoon house. What a tense day for me. Used to enjoy being in finals, now it just seems too important that we win. Let’s do it.

    Agony already as my number 2 and hometown team Southend go 0-2 down in playoff 2nd leg. But back to 2-2 now ๐Ÿ™‚

    Read two papers this morning, Sun shows Fabianski, The Times Schezny in goal?

  49. goonster says:

    Morning lee….feeling expansive are ya? Throw some of what you re smoking in my direction. I need it to calm my nerves. It’s jangling.

  50. Lee says:

    I had a smoke to calm my nerves and now I’m confident…as I said get an early goal then they’ll come at us and we’ll rip them a new arse!!!

  51. ozgunner says:

    what we know for sure goonster is we have more than enough ability to push them over, mind sets therefore are everything and i think given it could be a first real success for many of them, we’ll get it done 3-1 my money is on.

  52. AndrewH13 says:

    Thanks Rico. Too much all in one day! If we win cup I might even watch Barca Athletico. If we lose wont want to watch football for weeks.

  53. goonster says:

    Lol rico you don’t wanna be smoking lee’s joint. You don’t know where they ve been. He probably smuggled them in his swimming trunks.

  54. tsgh says:

    Scott,14 AR16 tops spotted thus far…
    Too many nervous faces on train making their way into London…
    Coyg…
    It was written;trophy has our name on it…

  55. ozgunner says:

    you and me both Rico – the media will be a nightmare – lets hope we’re calm and collected and simply get the job done

  56. goonster says:

    COYFGS…..come on you beautiful bastards. Let’s smash them to bits and shove the shrapnel down the throats of every TV pundit and rival fans. It’s time to rise again lads. Victoria Concordia cresit. Yeeeeeeaaaaaaah

  57. goonster says:

    Glory Beckons. Time to write your names in gold as the players who broke the duck and landed the EMs it’s first trophy. Time to be immortalize boys. Do it for yourselves.

  58. potter says:

    We are the pride of North London
    The cream of the south
    We hate United because there all mouth
    The Cannons will roar and The cockerel will fall
    We are The Arsenal the greatest of all.

    La La La.

  59. goonster says:

    Potter print that oj a tshirt and sell it amigo. That shit is banging like my black neighbor ll say:grin:

  60. ozgunner says:

    tell you what, that must be the softest run to a cup final in it’s history for Hull – no one real test, they even got Sunderland when the wheels were falling off. Middlesbrough, Southend, Brighton and Sheffield United, what a easy run that is. Today they come back down to earth. ๐Ÿ™‚

  61. AndrewH says:

    One bad result, cannot take another one today. Lets see Ozil be a star today. Ramsey just be Ramsey. In fact why cant they all play well? Time to turn up in a big game for once.

  62. ozgunner says:

    AndrewH my home town Peterborough also went ass up mate after a poor season by their standards in this league. So sympathies.

  63. Rick says:

    2 & 1/2 hours to go. Im cool calm & collected and thats how I expect to stay untill i hear Abide With Me. Thats when it will sink in
    that we are about to see our beloved Arsenal win some silverware
    I have just watched Rambo being interviewed ( on BT sport) and the way he came over tells me the team will be really up for it.
    Happy veiwing all you gooners where ever you are.

  64. devilgunner says:

    Good Afternoon Lady, Sir, Gentlemen and Ladies.

    Get reaaddddyyyyyy to rrrummmblllllllllleeeeeeeeeee

  65. devilgunner says:

    I feel that if we do not loose, we will wipe the floor with them today.

    I hope we dish out a thrashing. Its been a long time overdue. And the highest scoring Final record badly needs to be broken and smashed to smithereens

  66. ktr7 says:

    hi guys…we really have to do this!!!!how much can one set of fans be allowed to suffer anyway?…

  67. devilgunner says:

    you know what mates??? 2-0, 3-0 will not satisfy me. I want a big one. I want one for every season without a trophy now. I want them all to turn up for once and butcher them in a way that their day at Wembley will be ruined. I want the Hull fans to leave the ground at Half time as it will be a point of no return.

  68. ktr7 says:

    I hope you are right devil.hope this is one of those vintage arsenal days when wengerball clicks…

  69. ozgunner says:

    oh yeah Andrew, no moving that old fart ha! Met him a couple of times actually and no doubt he loves the posh, the way he goes about showing it at times is a worry indeed!

  70. ktr7 says:

    Arsenal fans are really nervous today…imagine what Athletico madrid fans are feeling right now.it could all go tits up today if messi decides to come to the party despite doing so well for 37 games!!!

  71. ozgunner says:

    devil – they are premier league opposition mate and they will die for their badge today – not sure there is any walkover going to happen here. 3-1 would do me nicely thank you

  72. devilgunner says:

    Infact I am feeling the high adrenalin rush I used to get before the games when I used to play.

  73. rico says:

    Kt, who gives a stuff about the Madrid fans… ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Or the Barca ones for that matter….. lol

  74. BrainwashedKev says:

    This is weird, we should be kicking off in 15 minutes…

    Whose bright idea was it to move kick of to 5pm

    Back in North London Rico, no more trips to bloody West London…

    A Stanstead would be nice…

  75. ozgunner says:

    ktr7 – my money is on Barca as well – it went south in the last game for Athletico, should be over now – Real will beat them as well and no one will remember this season in a couple of years. Tough game this football lark

  76. devilgunner says:

    Hiya habib.

    I feel this is our day.

    I do not even contemplate a pie in the face.

    And yes……..I do want us to hand a thrashing. We have suffered enough as it is.

  77. ktr7 says:

    Since 2005 FA Cup final we have lost 2 Carling cup finals and a CL final .am with devil on this…we have to win today surely?…

  78. rico says:

    Windass says just pin the ‘Arsenal Parade plans’ on the changing room wall…

    What about Hulls plans fattie???

  79. ktr7 says:

    rico you can just feel how desperate non-arsenal fans and the media are for us to fail.the underdog winning will make for a better romance of the cup story.am not even nervous today…i hope we win convincingly today.we deserve it.

  80. devilgunner says:

    I feel that at the final whistle the roar will be such that the presenters will have to put the volume down.

  81. ktr7 says:

    rico thats why am hoping we really turn on the style today.we need to shut them up.they are so deaperate to see us lose its pathetic.

  82. Bt62 Gooner says:

    Rico, chiles already looks like so many have punched him, one more won’t hurt!! JM did you enjoy the Giro in NI . SHE WORE SHE WORE

  83. Joaquim Moreira says:

    rico, Vela is good in La Liga not in English League. 12 milliond in our pocket it’s much more interesting.

  84. ktr7 says:

    Henry Winter @henrywinter
    #afc: Fabianski; Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny,
    Gibbs; Arteta, Ramsey; Cazorla, ร–zil, Podolski;
    Giroud

  85. rico says:

    Me too Kt, but that would just be a bonus. The club, the players and us fans deserve this…

  86. Bt62 Gooner says:

    Fabianski get in! Poulter punch Chiles!! She wore she wore she wore a yellow ribbon!!

  87. rico says:

    Bt, I’d gladly land another one on his choppers….

    Jm, but he has bulked up, maybe he’s ready for the PL now…

    Fab in goal, good!!

  88. rico says:

    Team in full:

    Fabianski, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Arteta, Ramsey, Cazorla, Ozil, Podolski, Giroud

    Subs:

    Szczesny, Vermaelen, Rosicky, Wilshere, Monreal, Flamini, Sanogo

    Arsene saw my team ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ™‚

  89. Bt62 Gooner says:

    Fuck it might stick the flag out now…Wembley….Wembley..We’re The Famous Fuckin’ Arsenal and we’re going to Wembley.I’m going to quick again!! LOL

  90. devilgunner says:

    Hi Rico. Noticed the change in name?? I am Hell Raiser now. And I am still in moderation

  91. Joaquim Moreira says:

    I prefer another one.
    Our line up is good hope enought
    bale scores for Madrid now…brrrrr!

  92. rico says:

    ๐Ÿ™‚ Bt, Red Stripe gone and the Budweiser is in now, thought it best considering the sponsors ๐Ÿ˜‰

  93. goonster says:

    Oooooh I just creamed…leona lewis is gorgeous. Did you say she is a gooner? Nice. ๐Ÿ˜€

  94. Bt62 Gooner says:

    She Wore She Wore, She Wore a yellow ribbon in the merry month of May!!! Lets GOOOOOO!!!!!!

  95. Hell Raiser says:

    5-4-1.

    With 3 centrebacks

    a diamond midfield

    and a lone striker.

    If I played my teams like that I would hang my head in shame.

  96. AndrewH says:

    A final thanks that Wigan beat City away otherwise I don’t think we would be here. Do it!

  97. Hell Raiser says:

    0-2 down. And now the niggly fouls will start. Time wasting. Bus parking. Mark my words. We are all over the place.

  98. Hell Raiser says:

    that was nearly 0-3.

    I bet that all the neutrals and pundits who want Hull to win must be wanking themselves with delight.

  99. agirlagunner says:

    Hello, guys! Am trying to distract myself sneaking a peek Atleti v RM, too.

    Come on, Arsenal. Three more!!!

  100. Can'tBeArsed says:

    Plenty of time to turn this around Gooners.

    How did that jammy doughnut tsgh get a ticket !!! That’s what I wanna know.

  101. Hell Raiser says:

    He is a lenient ref Rico.

    but that was a yellow card in all its glory and in every way.

    we cant seem to play our passing game. We have not managed to string more than 7 consecutive passes.

  102. Hell Raiser says:

    Ramsey and Ozil are invisible.

    It seems as if we are playhing 4-1-2-1

    With a hole in the bloody midfield.

  103. Hell Raiser says:

    If we keep giving those type of corners we will not score a single one from there. We need the short corner to make them get out.

  104. agirlagunner says:

    These players won’t have a better time to shine, rico. That’s why I’m cross they look like they’re not up for it!!

    Barca winning so far. ๐Ÿ™

  105. BrainwashedKev says:

    Wenger needs to make some tactical changes at half-time, that’s if he is capable…

    Giroud really isn’t gonna do it today…

  106. Can'tBeArsed says:

    Steve Bruce has put on a few pounds, who said you can’t have your cake and eat it !

  107. Can'tBeArsed says:

    tsgh, any more inside info on what time our player will be sent off, guessing it must be 2nd half now.

  108. Hell Raiser says:

    We are sitting deep and allowing them all the space…..when we should press them high up and giving them little to breath about

  109. Joaquim Moreira says:

    ozil out and Tr in..
    We are not putting pressure ahead and there is plenty of space between lines.
    We have to be warriors players and no superstars

  110. Hell Raiser says:

    looking at the first goal again.

    Poldi’s fault and lack of marking plus he is looking everywhere bar the ball and opponent.

  111. ozgunner says:

    we do Rico and have for some time now – Wenger is the only one that can change that – fast break days dead and buried – they might crumble to errors as they get closer to winning it though

  112. Hell Raiser says:

    Oh welll………..once we were 0-2 down in 1930 vs Hull and then we won 4-2 over two games.

    Malta was winning 1-0 vs Spain in the first half in 1983 and then got thumped 12-1 in the second.

    And once with 20 mins to go Arsenal were loosing 1-2 vs Sheffield Wednesday, Campbell came on and we won 7-3.

    so there is still time.

  113. rico says:

    Spot on Kev…

    Wishful thinking Oz, I reckon Hull will be even more up for the second half..

    A few of ours really need to wake up and realise where they are!!

  114. Hell Raiser says:

    Sanogo and Wilshere warming up.

    I bet that Hull players are quaking in their pants and creaming with fear.

  115. Hell Raiser says:

    Of course it was.

    We are upping the tempo.

    But we will not score.

    The attack is too static

    We need a proper winger

    and we need to put up a second striker.

  116. Hell Raiser says:

    Aston Villa (h), Stoke (A) and now Hull (final)…….games we should not have lost. We failed to turn up.

    The current version of Kevin Campbell (Sir no goal yet) has come on.

    Will he turn it around???

    I doubt it

  117. Hell Raiser says:

    25 mins to save this season.

    Otherwise AW will have lost more finals than he has won.

  118. Hell Raiser says:

    We will not score.

    hull are a 2nd version of Mourinho’s tactics. They do not want to score……but their intention is to hinder every AFC player from playing the ball. Even putting them off balance.

    And its working

  119. Hell Raiser says:

    A war which only the Arsenal players put themselves in.

    Had the general used the right tactics and mentality it would have been a skirmish.

  120. Hell Raiser says:

    If Hull sneak it, it would be outrageous since the subs done by Bruce were intended to defend the lead not attack.

  121. Hell Raiser says:

    now wouldnt it be perfect if Huddlestone scores an own goal. A spuddie handing the trophy to us!!!!

  122. Hell Raiser says:

    I hope we do not have extra time.

    I cannot bear 30 minutes of extra time playing like this

    its a hard slog

  123. Hell Raiser says:

    I thought that the AFC players should steamroller and shatter themselves in the record books. I was right.

    they have steamrollered us the fans and shattered every fan in goonerdom with this performance…….even if they win it.

  124. Hell Raiser says:

    That was a great piece of skill by OG. Good control, great turn and good shot under pressure.

  125. agirlagunner says:

    Atleti have won the Liga, rico. Crowd of 95000 and only 400 away fans got tickets.

    Now, for Arsenal to win the Cup!!

  126. AndrewH says:

    Five penalty shouts, two certain. Ferguson would have ballistic, what had AW done? Nooo, crossbar.

  127. devilgunner says:

    Oh Ollie…..you have a 20 foot by 8ft area to aim for and you aim for the crossbar which is only 3inches in diameter??? ๐Ÿ˜‰

    That was tough on Ollie and Ramsey.

  128. devilgunner says:

    Ferguson would have made sure that Probert would have been in his office tomorrow to be screwed 5 times by an elephant in his a**e.

  129. Can'tBeArsed says:

    Arsene hasn’t a clue how to get over the line anymore, just keeps falling over, time the team put this final to bed ffs !

  130. devilgunner says:

    CBA…….he never had a clue. All he had was that all the clubs and coaches around him were so crap that he seemed different. But now they have learned and he has been found out.

  131. tsgh says:

    Enjoy theride gooners…
    Get in.i said it was going to be tight…
    Fat Bruce. :P:P
    parking the bus…
    its electrifying here hh…
    Micko..you legend

  132. BrainwashedKev says:

    Ha ha ha ha ha, don’t they just love to put you through the wringer….

    FACup Winners 2014…… Arsenal FC

    Get in my lads….

  133. devilgunner says:

    We suffered for 120 minutes

    But now take pleasure that the pundits, the spuds and all those who wanted us to loose means a summer of HELL FOR THEM FUCKING LOT

    UP YOUR ARSES YOU CNUTS

  134. devilgunner says:

    bLIMEY……..5 MINUTES SINCE WE WON A FINAL

    We still have not collected the trophy yet.

  135. agirlagunner says:

    Arsene Wenger can smile now. ๐Ÿ™‚ But mn, we were put through the wringer!!

    Wenger: “We wanted to make history … We made history in both ways: how not to start a final and how to comeback. I think this is a turning point in the lives of the players.”

  136. rico says:

    I know Sanogo isn’t what we need right now, but if there is a footballing brain in that head of his, he could be a superb striker…

    He looks like a very young Kanu….

  137. agirlagunner says:

    Have a glass for me too, Adam! I hope it’s a fab vintage. ๐Ÿ˜› You pairing it with fried chicken? ๐Ÿ™‚ Yum.

    rico, Mourinho set himself up for what I’m sure would be a neverending ending reference to his being a “specialist in failure”. Even for his low standards, that was particularly odious!

  138. Adam says:

    Rico. Just did it. Mrs Adam and I had a toast to the Wenger, the team and all on HH. It was absolutely lovely to see Wenger so happy after seeing him so stressed for so long. Really, really happy to see him like that. See you at Islington Town Hall in the morning. ๐Ÿ™‚

  139. rico says:

    Roy Keane on giving Fergie the bumps:

    ‘We’d like to have thrown him p and not catch him’ ๐Ÿ˜› ๐Ÿ˜›

  140. Can'tBeArsed says:

    Arsene looking a bit cas, shirt and no tie, like the world has been lifted off his shoulders, enjoying the moment with the fans, given the bumps by the players, it’s all very emotional.

  141. agirlagunner says:

    rico, i posted about Atleti earlier, addressed my comment to you at 6:56. ๐Ÿ˜› End to end stuff. Cesc went asleep for Atleti’s goal. Haha.

  142. rico says:

    Totally agree Adam and seeing him get the bumps and to be drowned in Champagne made me truly smile…

  143. goonster says:

    I died twice and went to heaven then creamed till my apartment Stank. Arsenal the only team to give u multiple heart attacks in less than 90 minutes. So chuffed.

  144. rico says:

    She wore, She wore, She wore a yellow ribbon!

    She wore a yellow ribbon in the merry month of May.

    And when, I asked, her why she wore that ribbon.

    She said its for the Arsenal and weโ€™re going to Wembley!

    Wembley! Wembley! Weโ€™re the famous Arsenal and weโ€™re going to Wembley..

  145. goonster says:

    Adam am over my demons….Somebody pinch me. We finally won a title and maureen went trophyless for another season
    Did I step into a parallel universe overnight?

  146. agirlagunner says:

    Goonie, sending Cassie and Brianna my well wishes and all the positive vibes. ๐Ÿ™‚ Oh, and calm down, Stan!!

  147. rico says:

    It was Adam, truly woeful!! But we were pretty average for the large part of the game too ๐Ÿ˜‰

  148. goonster says:

    Hey AGAG you needed to see me earlier today. I was a mess. So glad that’s over. Now to shower. : grin:

  149. rico says:

    Maybe not, some other guy is tipped to take over ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Actually, who really cares ๐Ÿ˜›

  150. agirlagunner says:

    Micko, you know I didn’t. Lol!! Soo happy!

    Clinks champagne flutes with Adam. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  151. devilgunner says:

    Rico……….allow me to write the title for tomorrow’s post…..

    It has been since yesterday since Arsenal won a cup……

    That should push it up their fecking arses

  152. AndrewH says:

    rico, I counted five pens shouts if you include the handball, seen even them given before when hands up. The push was obvious, and they should have been down to10. Then when we hit the crossbar I was starting to think it was not to be. Been a travesty if we had lost.

  153. AndrewH says:

    Adam, he comes out smiling, medal in hand, no controversy of sendings off or pens.

    But we overcame so he can sod off and be forgotten

  154. Can'tBeArsed says:

    Sukky, you didn’t manage to catch who was in goal for us today did ya……..fab was the first pole to play in an fa cup final, the boy done good.

  155. devilgunner says:

    Difficult for me Rico. Too pumped up to write anything other than a biased report.

    It will be an article shoving all the insults up the pundits arses.

  156. BrainwashedKev says:

    Hmmm the Peroni tastes just that little bit better than usual…

    Looking forward to seeing the highlights tonight and see what I missed as I sat fretting in my cab around from Highbury Corner…

  157. devilgunner says:

    Hiya Kev. Pressure is off those broad shoulders for you mate.

    I am so pumped up atm. the adrenalin is still high.

    Blimey its one hour and a half since we last won a trophy.

  158. rico says:

    I’m off for the day guys with a big smile on my face…

    Well done Arsenal, well bloody done….

    Night all….

  159. Adam says:

    Off for the evening. Kev see you on SMS. Rico, Agag – big kiss.
    A lovely evening go the rest of you.

  160. devilgunner says:

    Good night my dear friends.

    I am a bit jealous of you all regarding tomorrow morning.

    we all deserve to go and sleep with a smile.

  161. Rick says:

    All you gooners going tomorrow have a great day.
    Wish I could be there with you. Its 3 Hours since we won silverware.
    Well done lads.

  162. rico says:

    Gdna – you are back on, be nice and you can stay but…

    Just adhere to the rules eh?? Otherwise you’ll be back in the bin post haste…. !

  163. devilgunner says:

    I went to do some spuddie hunting on their blogs.

    I was reminding them that the last time we won a cup, that is around two hours ago, seems like light years away already. So imagine how long it must feel for that lot to remember theirs.

  164. devilgunner says:

    Arsene Wenger is wanted for attempted murder after an elaborate 9 year assassination plot was uncovered on Saturday evening.

    The Arsenal manager undertook a flamboyant attempt at ending the life of Vital Arsenal editor, Rocky7.

    The plot came to light following the FA Cup final on May 17th 2014 when it became obvious that the Frenchman had spent the last 9 years trying to sneakily kill the rotund Yorkshire via the means of lethal heart attack.

    After 8 seasons without a trophy, Wenger contrived to ensure the Gunners fell 2 goals behind to the un-fancied Hull City within 7 minutes of the start of the FA Cup final only to spurn chance after chance and hitting the woodwork before finally winning the cup in the most dramatic of circumstances in an attempt to induce cardiac arrest in the internet muppet to end his sad little life.

    Wenger`s plot was foiled however following a slight oversight. Rocky7`s was able to endure the ordeal as his heart had already been stolen by Arsenal back in 1987.

    Arsene Wenger is still at large and was last spotted on the streets of London sporting a soggy shirt and a smile.

  165. Can'tBeArsed says:

    Bt62, your gonna have the mother of all mother hang overs in the morning.
    As for me i’m off for a swift half and a lock in, the nite is still a puppy.
    Adam, a big smacker from me.
    Laters gooners, earth to wath, come in wath !!!

  166. Can'tBeArsed says:

    tsgh, trust that irritant pep to go and ruin your party ! Hope you had a great day, catch ya tomorrow.

  167. AndrewH says:

    Night all, be thinking of you that go to Islington tomorrow. I was there last two occasions we won ๐Ÿ˜‰

  168. tsgh says:

    Talkshitite make me laugh… they now implying 1 in 9 is not good enoug3h. ?.
    AW looked like the most relieved man on the planet earlier…

    stan was at wembley in his 3 peace suit…
    Micko, Pep messed up my double party. But AW with his tie off estatic makes up for it…

  169. allezkev says:

    Ok, just settling down to watch the FACup Final highlights…

    To catch with all that I missed whilst I sat in my cab having a mental breakdown whilst Arsenal made a massive job of beating Hull…

    Bruvvers Lee and Adam are chilling out by text, reliving the day…

    Had a great chat with Wath…

    Frankly it’s been a fantastic day…

    Thank you Rico, none of this would have possible without your blog and your hard work…

    We all luv ya boss….

    And you Agag… ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Night All…

  170. Gonerjoe says:

    No wonder it took us 9 years 4 stone wall penalties none give the refs in England are corrupt

  171. allezkev says:

    Lee was absolutely right, when he told me that we should have had three penalties…

    Extra time now

  172. allezkev says:

    Lee you was right, Ramsey’s goal was magnificent, a top top class finish…

    Despite the angst, Arsenal were easily the better team and thoroughly deserved to win…

    We should have won a lot more comfortably, but that’s not the Arsenal way…

  173. allezkev says:

    Steve Bruce was having a moan at the end…

    Funnily enough he never mentioned the three penalties Arsenal should have got…

    Now to have a big summer in the transfer window and the sky is the limit…

  174. allezkev says:

    Memorable day, great chat Wath, thoroughly enjoyed the vibe (that’s vibe not vape) with my HHCC buddies, but where were you Rocky???
    Potter gets my vote for joke of the day (Nigerian Guiness)… ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Night again to you all…

  175. Scott From Oz says:

    I’m off for my game now, and a the few hours broken sleep will come in handy.
    I can not remember the last time I was so excited to be a Gooner, and it goes back a lot longer than 9 years.
    Arsene, you deserved this!

  176. NashuaGunners says:

    What a day! AW and the Boys do us proud. This type of feeling is hard to describe; it’s hard to put into words. And I’m sure, I saw it on your face. What a day.

    AW, I still believe you have it in you, the changes was superb. Now go on the market and get us what we need so we can continue where we left off.

  177. devilgunner says:

    Wakey wakey.

    Gooooooddddd Morning.

    Hell………..We have not won a cup since yesterday now.

  178. tsgh says:

    Morning Dev,Ng Rico and all

    Oz.. hope you enjoy yourself upside down? ๐Ÿ˜€

    Dev, it was magnificent yesterday…
    AW looked 10 years younger..

    I won’t have had it any other way… this over a 5-0 win every day for me…

  179. tsgh says:

    The Hell Raiser… I like that Moniker…

    Where is Micko with his sore head?

    Syg, did you wrestle any more snakes…

  180. Adam says:

    Morning Rico and all. It’s gonna be super hot in Islington today.
    Breakfast with Kev in Dishoom first though.

  181. tsgh says:

    Lol Rico.. I know you would say that ๐Ÿ™‚
    I know I am a bit f’ed so…
    As my father in law said to me once when he found out what I do back then… he was like you must be mad to jump from an aeroplane trusting a rope and a cloth to save your life…

    and then volunteer to be blind folded, chased by alsations and 2 para and 3 nights sleep deprivation…

    The price I had to pay for all of that ?

    Now I wish I can have more than 7 hours sleep a night ๐Ÿ˜€

  182. rico says:

    Morning Adam, you going on the parade?

    Have a fab time and a lovely breakfast first, wish I could be there….

  183. Adam says:

    Watching Kroenke yesterday, two things struck me. Firstly, he seemed wildly excited so I wondered if he ‘got it’ at last. Secondly that I thought he was jumping about so wildly that his syrup might fly off and land on Gazidis’ head.

  184. tsgh says:

    Kev, I am told highbury corner was maniac last night… ๐Ÿ™‚

    You didn’t have anything to do with it? ๐Ÿ˜›

  185. Adam says:

    Rico. Experience has told me that the crowds in Islington will be epic today. We will probably try to get a look at the team but it will be difficult and the searing heat won’t help. The bus will go right past where I lived as a kid so there’s a bit of nostalgia thrown in too. We will try.
    Breakfast at Dishoom could be interesting. Sorry you and brudder can’t be there. ๐Ÿ™‚

  186. Lee says:

    Boom boom boom get the fuck in there!!!
    Maureen how’s that trophy cabinet this season you poisonous vertically challenged c**t? How was the league title you shell suit wearing curly haired job dodging fucktards? Van rapist did you enjoy that? Well you got your 30 pieces of silver!! As for spxrs you really are the most deluded bunch of wankers that walk the planet
    Steve Bruce can fuck off, what a prick in his post match interview he was really embarrassing! Looks like Dean Windarse was hiding under Bruce’s jumper……
    My head hurts!!

  187. tsgh says:

    the singing/atmosphere was epic…

    ‘2 nil up and you still f’ed it up.’..

    ‘we won the title in shite hart lane…

    ‘Robin she said no…’

    There is only 1 AW’

    ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€

  188. Adam says:

    Morning brudder. Another early morning, post FA Cup classic from you.
    Did you see Kroenke have a ‘special’ word with Sagna?

  189. Adam says:

    Sad to report that Steve Bruce was harpooned by a Japanese Whaling ship last night when he took a swim.

  190. Bt62 Gooner says:

    My mate is there for the parade and has a chance of getting into the Town Hall,lucky man!!

  191. rico says:

    All joking aside about Bruce, he looks an unwell man….

    At times I thought he was going to do a Tommy Cooper on us….

  192. goonster says:

    I ve been drifting in and out of sleep guys. This feeling is epic. Better than sex. Dang my kingdom for a trip to Islington now to witness the parade. She wore she wore.

  193. goonster says:

    Did any of y’all seen Sanogo’s tweet just before kick off? That kid is gonna be a legend. Am still buzzing guys.

  194. rico says:

    Hi Goonster….

    If Sanogo can sort his brain and feet out, he could one day be a good footballer….

    Loan him out to a newly promoted PL side for the season and see if he improves….

  195. rico says:

    The players will travel from the Emirates Stadium to Islington Town Hall, Upper Street and back in two open top buses. The approximate timings are:

    11am: the parade starts next to the stadium at Drayton Park, by Martineau Road. From here the players will travel in open top buses along Drayton Park, Aubert Park, Highbury Park, Highbury Grove, St Paulโ€™s Road and into Upper Street.

    12noon: the parade will arrive at the Town Hall, where there will be a short appearance by the players outside. This will be followed by a closed reception in Islington Assembly Hall.

    1pm: the parade will leave the Town Hall and head back towards the Emirates Stadium where there will be a team appearance on the Emirates Stadium podium.

  196. goonster says:

    It’s an amazing feeling….for once goonerdom is at peace and one accord. Yesterday I saw no AKBs or WOBs. I only saw a sea of red and white. Oooooh to be

  197. tsgh says:

    Hey goonie.. howz it buddy.. still creaming.. Kleenex are making a fortune off you.. :P; buy some shares in Kleenex mate

    Plenty of AKB where I was… ๐Ÿ™‚

  198. goonster says:

    Rico I ll give anything to be among the vast crowd at Islington this morning. So jealous of you guys right now.

  199. tsgh says:

    Would you give away your blond Adonis looks for a bit of Fat Bruce look? ๐Ÿ™‚ … to be at the match

  200. goonster says:

    Ginge I ll give it all away to look like bull frog alladyce. My kingdom for a trip to Islington now.

  201. tsgh says:

    A few several thousand mate …

    I must say I really respect the hull fans..

    no sense of entitlement at all… they came for a party.. they thought it was going to be their day when they went ahead but we came back hard…

    After the game we traveled with some of them in the same carriage all the way to Victoria station…

    On the tube to central London, we started singing …’you were 2 nil up and your f’ed it up’ they even joined in…

    Super atmosphere/experience…

    I will add Hull to my next season away list now…

  202. tsgh says:

    Hey Hell Raiser… morning mate.. good to have you back.
    Its shocking how mobile signal is still not adequate at our national stadium… it was hard not being above to blog

  203. tsgh says:

    Dev, were we not talking about Simeone winning titles last year? amazing how far he has come along…:-)

    You even tipped Ath and Diego as CL winners at the start of the season… is he still your tip?

  204. tsgh says:

    Goonie, Koeman tipped for West ham job…

    I will be pleased for him… he was a very fine specimen of a defender…

    Morning Kev… are you going to the parade?

  205. goonster says:

    She wore she wore…I learnt that yesterday thanks to bt62 gooner. Been yelling out she wore she wore all night. Pretty sure my neighbors a re e spooked. ๐Ÿ˜€

  206. goonster says:

    Koeman for West Ham??? Errr did I miss something? What happened to bullfrog alladyce? Did he get fired??

  207. goonster says:

    I don’t blame them…I want him pubis that prick pardew and McLeish out too. But hey what do I know?

  208. allezkev says:

    Morning Rico… It’s a red letter day ๐Ÿ˜€

    Shame that you, Lee, Wath and Rocky can’t be joining us today…

    And Fred and Wavy and Scott and Oz and Coach and Canuck and Cockie Monster ๐Ÿ˜‰ and Potter and Stan and Ginge and FatGun and Coach and everyone, it would be one hell of a party…

  209. rico says:

    Morning Kev…

    Really wish I was sharing today with you all, have a great time won’t you….
