I am now getting ready to go to bed, knowing that in 7 hours I will be getting up very early to make the trip down to Cardiff, to get there early to beat the traffic and to soak up the atmosphere. The adrelalin is now "kicking in" and the buzz flowing around the body. Just wait 'til I wake up!! There is something really special about Cup Final day, more than any other trophy or tournament I've seen. This is the third consecutive trip to watch the Final, (four including the FA Community Shield against Liverpool in last August), and hopefully 5 when Man. Ure will be this year's opposition in that event. Cardiff is a nice city, and the stadium is very good. So close to the centre of the city, so pubs and bars are all around, as are the supporters. It's a great atmosphere, and certainly a match worth visiting. There's nothing greater than watching TA6 and now DS1 holding that trohpy aloft in front of the Gooners going wild! Let's hope so again for tomorrow. So, wherever you are; wherever you are watching it, have a great day, and enjoy! Let's hope the boys do it again, and bring a "silver lining" to the end of the season to overshadow that "black cloud" of giving away the EPL. Here's to you all. Those that I have met, and those that I wait to meet. "COME ON YOU GUNNERS" !!!!!!!
agreed. I just wish I could be there. I might be in England next May and if I am i'm going to try as hard as I can to see the Gunners, where ever they may be playing.
Re: Re: F.A. Cup Final Day May next year...better book a hotel in Gelsenkirchen. Jeff, for those that can not go to games as regular as you we all envy you.
Re: Re: Re: F.A. Cup Final Day . i'm guessing that is where the Champs League final is. There is a class at my school that goes to England for three weeks. It's a history class about the Beatles and the teacher is cool, so that means I'll drink a lot. I will have already graduated, but I can take the class if I want to, the only issue is money. If I go on the trip I'm planning on spending a month or so treking around Europe, depends on when I run out of money.
Jeff, thanks again for steering me right about holding out for a spare on Cup Final Saturday-saved me THREE HUNDRED pounds-no joke-and no guarantee the seat would've been as good as the one I ended up with(I know you get my point, mate)so everyone on this board, when it comes to getting in to see our beloved Arsenal FC-TRUST JEFF-Period.
