The Doctor?

 

I want Arse to win because they will keep Wenger, and that is a must. A new guy wouldn't be as put off by our prices.

 

OMG....I'm feeling a little poorly.

 

Always ready to moan about referees, but it's great to see a referee not bottle it at a big match. Who knew refs could be good guys?

 

Arsenal win it

 

One of those rare things....a decent FA cup final.

 

Shame Arsenal won that. Their fans are terrible and don't deserve it.

 

Everyone save Fran, she is the most important of them all!

 

They'll keep Wenger whether they win or lose. They are fixated with Wenger. He'll go into next season with an inadequate squad again and we'll see the usual Arsenal. Fading away when the pressure is on. Getting wiped out occasionally by another team who fancies it more on the day. Trying to 'Arsenal' a win by attempting to walk every ball in the net. And still managing to be boring while playing semi-entertaining football because it's the same old, same old stuff. Then we get the same old, same old post-match platitudes from Wenger. He's like a broken record. Arsenal actually need a fresh start. But they won't get one.

 

You say it, like its a bad thing!

 

It's a boring thing. That's a bad thing. But looking at it from your perspective, yeah, Arsenal keeping Wenger is definitely a good thing.

 

Except it wasn't was it? A more obvious handball in the build up you couldn't wish to see. Not so sure about the offside being that sound either.

 

Didn't see it, but I read that it was controversial. I did my usual thing with football club events that don't involve Saints. I find myself getting interested and then when push comes to the shove I do something else instead. Oddly, I can feel myself anticipating tomorrow's and Monday's League play-offs.

I did watch 50 minutes of last Wednesday's Europa Final last Wednesday.

 

I'm glad Arsenal won. It's good to see the trophies shared about and if Wenger does go then he goes as he should on a high. Also I can't stand Diego Costa or John Terry.

 

Arsenal are my second team (for historical reasons)....and I don't like Chelsea.

Wenger staying = Emery to us?

 

In very sick taste it's sad for me to announce the death of Sir Elton John

 

Would be a massive coup. Tactically (from his Sevilla days, at least), he's exactly what I want: pressure and quick transitions. Our frontmen struggle a bit in congestion, but have the on-ball skills and pace to be nightmarish to defend in space.
