One of our Overseas Grovers has kindly donated 2 club level tickets to Le Grove for tonight’s game against Wigan. The tickets are in club level, in the front row… so the view is pretty special! You also get free beer at half time… but sorry, no prawn sandwiches…
If you are interested, please answer the following questions and e-mail them to tickets@le-grove.co.uk and I will do a draw a when the competition lines close at 1230!
Arsenal were the first team to reach 3 consecutive cup finals in 78, 79 and 1980.
- Which player played for Ipswich in the 78 cup final and Arsenal in 79 cup final?
- Which player famously brought Paul Allen down in the 1980 cup final?
- Who crossed the ball for Alan Sunderland when he scored the winning goal in the 79 Cup final which we won 3-2?
Winning answers will be placed in a hat and drawn at random! The pair of tickets will be printed up for the winner and collected tonight before the game!
Please e-mail me your full name and be aware that you must have photographic I.D to collect them later!
Good luck and remember… you have to be in it, to win it!
Answers go to tickets@le-grove.co.uk
Lines close at 12:30!

Franchise… because it gets too confusing when people are posting in different posts.
It’s not often we run a competition… and you can all talk about the game in this one!

Unfortunately thats way b4 my time
just sent my answers in…
hand over the tickets lads!!!!
Rico no you’re wrong
I am still pissin myself at Gunner8. First comment on the section “Fucked if i know”. Classic hahahaha!!!!
rico you are right
Pedro you could have asked a simple question like ‘Who scored two goals for Arsenal against Manchester Utd on Sat. the 8th of November 2008?’ Get ppl to call a premium rate no. 090********* calls cost £1.50/min from BT land line other networks may vary. Competition open until 5.30pm. Thats how u get the big bucks
Franchise was it song
Clacko the Gooner, it was pretty damn funny.
Kelsey if you think Rico is right then your are also wrong.
so who’s gonna be witnessing the draw to make sure everythings above board???
Geoff, you say i am wrong, kelsey says i am right, i am off to Google
so is everyone here or still in the other post?
Kelsey use ur phone if you want to enter. First u need to call a premium rate no. 0905123123 to get the phone no. for the competition. Calls cost £1.50/min from a BT land line bla bla bla. u know the rest
Geoff – I think kelsey and i are right
No you’re wrong show me your answers again.
Geoff have they gone yet? I am ashamed but I’ve never sent an email er indoors does it and she aint back yet..
Talbot
Young
Brady
Avenall no draw has been made until 12.30, Rico what happened to your Paul Mariner guess then, I didn’t know you had more than one.
2 out of 3 rico
Does anyone have a good reason why Song is in the squad tonight, because he brings neither a lot of experience or is he being blooded into the 1st team…would much preferto see either Toure, so he can form a partnership with Djourou and give us a good solid backbone to the team, or Bartley/Ayling or Nordveit (if he’s back form loan, some confused reports going round on that one) so that they can get some 1st team experience
i jumped the gun on Mariner Geoff, but thankfully didnt email my entry
Womans perogative
No Tom, 3 out of 3
benno… cos he;s too shit for the 1st team so he has to be in there.
nordveidt’s back but not eligable
no rico… 2/3 i promise you!!!!
i reckon Song will play, just hope its not in place of JD, I think something has been wrong with JD, surely otherwise he would have played – just hope he gets a game tonight and shows AW there is no longer a place for Song
I think I’ve sent my first ever email!!!
no Tom, i promise you
yeh but Kolo is also not playing atm (because he’s in a form dip, not because he’s shit) so wouldn’t it make more sense to give Kolo a game to get his performance levels back up
You are still wrong Rico and Kelsey, if you’re going to google, don’t believe what they write, use your eyes and look at the video, this is what’s wrong with the youth of today, they google, me I go on memory and read a lot.
Tom you’re right though.
good on you ave, i dont think i would have been allowed to email for you, just in case i cheated
!!
Oh no, I am so sad now Geoff
ha ha ha!!! i tried to tell you rico!!!
why is RVP not in the squad…when hes banned for 2 more league games?? or does this game count as a suspension?
TK, because this game counts towards his suspension
TK… it counts for all domestic comps… it does us a favour really
Finecuts, now I know you are truly mental!How can you even compare any of our players to any shlit at shit hart lane. You need help, and fast
ok tom, you win
and i thought it was men who didnt listen 
Twixy Rixy then eh
geoff… how many correct entries u got so far??
rico lol… gracious in defeat, very admirable!!!
Not sure are you up for it Tom? Bow to the questionmeister!
I missed going to the “79″ final by one programe voucher. I had 22 but I think 23 got you the chance to buy a ticket..
Guess I never win anything..
Feel sorry for me Geoff/Pedro
ave – i wasnt born then
(!!)
I wasn’t born in 1945 but I know we beat Germany Rico!
same rico, it’s all right for some
That wasn’t until 21 years later. Your right Geoff you have mystic powers..
lol
Do you remember the little triangle voucher. on the back of the programs Geoff, unlike these wippersnappers, Wheres Big Raddy? he would!
come on 12:30 already!!!
If you are giving them to someone through feeling sorry for them then i should have them. I have 3 eyes (all crossed) and a droopy arm and 7 toes on my left foot. My left part of the brain is on the right side so i have trouble with memory so i cant remember answer so can i have the tickets?
P.S i will need helicopter transport and a hotel for the night too please.
Geoff – was kidding, nearly in my 20′s by ’79….
I thought that was 1966 Geoff
Don’t you mean 4:40am Jamie, it’s alright for all of you that can try to win the tickets and go to the game, but for those of us on the otherside of the world, its quite depressing knowing that we could try to win tickets to go to the game, but can’t due to the substantial distance away we live
So i’ll just start gettin amped up for the game 
The man in the Third answer was never a problem to you then Rico..
Well before 1974 perhaps..
I remember it like it was yesterday Rico, Avenall I remember swapping football cards for programmes so I could get the vouchers!
That was West Germany Rico!
Geoff, was just woindering if you know if there’s any info on next seasons Emirates cup out yet, coz i think i mite be forced to tie my trip back to England with when its on next year
COMPETITION CLOSED!
Did you go to the final then Geoff? To see Liam Brady
cross the ball in for Alan Alan Sunderland.. We’ve got the biggest Willie in the land,
The only thing I remember the crowd doing about the man in the first answer was.
Put their hand on their forehead and wipe thier tricep….
Hello fellow gooners:
1 – Brian Talbot
2- Willie Young
3- Graham Rix
Does your wife ever call you Geoffrey when you are being naughty Geoff ??
avenall… graham rix crossed it
ave – and you are naughty too!!
A tom go to my post 11.29 … I was being cheeky
Bullshit! this is not fair on international fans!
All the time Rico, that’s when I know she’s pissed off! Avenall I didn’t go to any of those three but I’ve been to them all ever since, apart from the Luton one the Zaragosa one and the Barca one, I had tickets but I didn’t want to go.
Benno they come out in the new year I think.
The only one i would of got would of been the last one, coz i’ve got highlights of that game on VHS lol, i remember growing up i’d just watch rerun after rerun of the highlights from that game and Anfield 89, and how much it pissed my old man off being a pool fan
sorry mate!!
Xeeez if you win you can donate them!
Geoff, aint seen the Arsenal since we played City at Highbury in 96/97 i think it was, starting to get more than just a little bit jelous of all the fans who’ve had the chance to go to Emirates
Where are you based Benno?
xeeez if u win em.. swap with somone so when u come over they can sort u out a ticket
Australia, moved out 4 1/2 years ago, but never got the chance to go to see Arsenal often coz of my age and having to have the old man accompany me… wouldn’t be a problem now though
erm, seeing as I was first at Wikipeding it over an hour ago I should win… …as I already have tickets I will donate them to the first two that show up at the pub
helooooooooooooooooo!
this is a nice clip about young footballers of the world. its 8 mins, but how many Arsenal players can you spot?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LMudPMBdds&feature=related
huh!
G8 – dont think that will work, I think the winner should be someone who didnt have to Google for the answers, so that counts me out !
oh – and it didnt do me much good anyway, as i got Brady wrong, hey ho, guess i will stay in the warm and shout loud at the television
Rico you’re just jealous!
If you let me pet the piggie, I will give you my ticket’s… ….c’mon Pedro!
Geoff, Nordtveit is unable to play until Jan and while you are right about Kolo etc… …the only other Defender in the match squad is Ogogo
Gunner8 all the questions I asked were from memory, anyone can go to Wikipedia, comps should be from the heart, Rico and Kelsey went to google, but google was wrong!
Geoff, here here…..
I got it from memory, but I don’t know if I sent my email in, as I have never sent one before….
What a Pillock!!!
That’s the trouble with this competition, if you was old enough to remember, your too old for the technology..
hey insidealbania..that was a good link
ave – thats so so true
So have i wion then Pedro/Geoff
xeeez I like it because Arsenal was well represented.
Geoff i didn’t go to f ing google,i really though brady crossed the ball for sunderland to score,but on reflection he broke out of defence and passed it to the left to rix (if you say so) and he crossed it over. is that right.
biggest humiliation was in 1969 against 3rd division swindon losing 3-1 in extra time.we hadn’t won anything for about 16 years and thought we just had up turn up to win.wembley was a bog,and don rogers scored 2 and bobby gould scored our equaliser to force the game into extra time and he literally cried.
avenell what a true comment
yea Inside Albania..and also some clips of some youngsters i would have never seen otherwise
..like from the Brazilian league
so who won?
NEW POST….!
