…Kay Sarah Sarah, whatever will be will be, we’re going to Wemberly, Kay Sarah Sarah!
So who the hell are Kay and Sarah? Well I don’t give a monkey’s, this is Le Grove’s first Wembley final and we can’t wait! We’ve been begging the manager to put a strong side together for the Carling Cup and this season he’s finally done it, and guess what, we’re in the final!
It used to be called the league Cup and in 1993 Arsenal became the first team to win the Cup double, so it meant something then, I don’t remember losing to Swindon, but I do remember losing to Luton in that same competition, and I also remember winning it against Liverpool, and they never lost when Ian Rush scored first, well they weren’t counting on Charlie Nicholas were they!
So this competition used to mean something to Arsenal, and even when we lost to the chavs we still had a host of stars in it, well who cares, the boss is taking it seriously now and I am going to my first NEW Wembley Cup final and I can’t wait, we are finally going for some silverware.
We’ll start as rightful favourites but Cup finals often throw up surprises so we must be careful not to take them for granted, Luton still rankles!
We need to get in their faces and chase down the ball if they get it, keep the ball and pass them off the pitch, then let our forwards have it, if he starts with Arshavin, Robin and Nasri, I expect a goal fest.
If Song can keep his shape, stay in his own half and not get booked early then he will control their attacks, if Diaby plays and doesn’t give the ball away then we will have the power to over run them and let them know they won’t get away with their bully boy tactics.
The defence in full flow are as good as any defence under George Graham, and now I’m not worried about the panic we used to see, I put a lot of that down to our new wonderboy Chezzer, his family are coming over from Poland so I expect him to shine.
Make no bones about it Grovers, today we go into battle, it will be a war and we have to stand up and be counted, it reminds me of a time long since gone. 1066.
Their was a tribe of Vikings from Norway and they went by the name the Berserkers, a name from which our word berserk came from, these were nutters the Vikings often used as shock troops because they had no fear and kicked the shite out of opposing armies (teams)
They had no class and many believe they were on drugs (Black pudding and tripe) they did quite well until they came over and met the silky skilled Saxons (Arsenal), under King Harold (Wenger) Well needless to say they threw everything at those heroic and handsome Saxons and tried all their dirty tricks and unfair play, but the day was carried by the good guys and they won 4 nil.
Oh and yes, they also smelt bad, like a 4 day old rotten fish shoved up the rectum of three week old dead sheep in the middle of a heatwave in a nasty hot country somewhere where no-one washes.
Then the nasty ginger haired northerner was sent back home with his runners up medal and sacked shortly after they got relegated (Fergies mate).
The moral of the story is beauty and skill will always win over ugly, dirty cheating Northerners.
Today Arsene Wenger and his team will show the footballing world what it has to look forward to for the next 10 years.
Go Arsenal and do your duty, your fans expect, this is your time, this is our time and this could be the start of the greatest season ever witnessed in World football, it starts today, good luck and bring us back a trophy!
Follow the day a Pedro manned twitter account! Pics galore! @LeGrove

COME ON U ‘FUCKIN REDS’
OOOH2B
Cup final come on lads
COYG!!
1066
My lot were Angles then
Fuck that gnarley! that was the old arsenal not the new modern stream lined version
Cup final day oh yes, in 1978 it was my uncle that scored the goal (R. Obsorne) im still annoyed with him on that one ha ha!!
Predictions Guys: Whats the score and who be the scorer, odds on bendtner 100-1 worth a punt ha ha!!
reggie
Oh!
Have not been excited as this since i had my first grope of a pair of tit’s!!!!
Geoffs post reminds me of the day Stevie Wonder walked past a fish shop in Finsbury Park after a gig @ the Rainbow.
He said: “Morning girls”
Question? Will SSN continually run footage of Rooney’s elbowing of an opponent off the ball, like they would for an AFC player’s foul play?
Answer – Of course they won’t, after all he’s not that type of player!
Question? Will the spineless FA step in and deal with Rooney’s foul play retrospectively, like they would against an AFC player?
Answer – Of course they won’t, the referee will lie saying he saw the incident, hence negating the need for the FA’s intervention!
Just more evidence of a corruptly managed league….
same goes for playing Szczesny in goal and a few more things, methinks
2-1 to the good guys AET
If you’re all going to Wembley clap your hands,clap clap.
cant wait 4 it
ddm,
2-1 yes, but in 90 minutes – no need for another 30 minutes with these cloggers on the pitch…
Haha. Awesome post. I’M SO FUCKING NERVOUS!!!!!
Today on Fox Sports, down here, they showed Classic PL Arsenal V Manchester United @ The Emirates when T Henry scored in the 93rd minute, 2006/07.
My point is, Rooney actually had hair & when he scored he ran & slid on his knees to The Arsenal “Dug Out” to celebrate his header.
Suga
Szczesny is soothing. I have the utmost confidence in him.
now Geoff, about the Vikings……
I don’t want anyone to scoff about this, BUT, my cat (yes!!) blinks when I ask if Arsenal will win, or she doesn’t when they are about to loose/draw (asked before games obviously) and she is always right….
I have asked her about to-day and she blinked (after lots of questions) at a 3-1 win for Arsenal, make that what you will, BUT, I believe her, if she’s wrong, off to the vets we go……
3 nil, c’mon!!!!!
Good Goal from JET!
Rooney is like a cunt + Benjamin Button.
And my apologies for talking about another cunt on cup final day but Cashley truly is a gunner!
Long long 6 hours
What’s all this tosh about Mac v PC??
Well i tell ya, i like nothing more than switching on my missuses four month old Samsung laptop or my mum’s two month old Sony Vaio and waiting for around an hour befor Windows Updater, Windows Defender and Kadpersky have “done their collective thing” to release enough resources, so i can load a single fucking web page!!
Horse shit operating system, more fucking holes than a Swiss fucking cheese!
Gimme my MacBook Pro any day!
gnarley,
as far as I am concerned, he is our no.1 on the merit and this position is simply his to lose…
This is our time!!
skandi
Vets in OZ are older soldiers. Does that mean your cat could be of to Afghanistan?
Suga
I’m with you.
Sug – 2-1 AET if either or both Denilson or Diaby are involved today, 2-1 in 90 minutes without them….
So far we dont underestimate them,we own the Cup.
Personally though, i’d ti bury them Northern cunts 4 or 5 nil, send that ginger, Ferguson loving, Scottish cunt home humiliated….
ddm,
I don’t know, I would play Diaby if he is fit as he is bound to get injured in the training anyway, so it will be a way to get some value for money, I would play him as the most advanced of the midfield three, so that he had less opportunities to slow us down, he may as well dribble past one defender and score for once
ti??? like to
Fucking iPhone!
I have a hangover from celebrating Carling Cup Final Eve, now bring on the mains, I’m off to Wembley!!!
Morning all,
It sure has been a long time here on Le G, without a trophy.
Cmon lads.. lets make history!
it will be a great test of ‘ze mental strength’ – whatever AW tells them, they must feel the pressure to deliver their first proper trophy, CC or no CC!
I want to believe!
WHAT DID SHE WEAR ???????
Morning lads, block 225 today. Can’t wait, wembley will be rocking today, 3-0 rvp double , nasri …..lovely day today. Red and White all over the place!,,,
She wore, she wore, she wore a yellow ribbon……
grovers, dont forget me pls, i have given my tkt to my lad so he can go to his first wembley final. but i will be in a wembley boozer so if anyone hears of a spare, pls let me know! if not then i will watch on tv, then join in the post match beer drinking when he and my mates come back from the game.
who’s that team they call the arsenal…..
DDM:
Get in there my son…You going ?
Look out for the check flag behind goal upstairs block 306
what pubs ppl using? thinking of going to the preston arms, only
25 mins from grd.
who’t that team we all adore…
Morning gooners,
Feels like its been ages since a cup final day.
zorr0,
what a great father you are, my hat goes off to you sir…
DG – I’m not fella, i gave up my tickets to the younger members of my family, the next generations of Gooners….
You refer to 1066, and make Wenger King Harold??? Dont you remember what happened next????:(
zorr0 – Well played fella, a true Gooner hero, your boy must be so proud….
Fantastic post Geoff!!!

GOOOOO GUNNERS!!!

ddm, good for you too. lets hope the lads make it a great day for the young fans getting their first wembley final.
any u guys heading down there today
the walkabout on finchley road is meant to be taken over by red action
and stuff like this should be pinned up on the dressing room walls – instead of the team talk, AW should just tell them to have a read
WON’T BELIEVE THIS SHIT!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJsq9V-MdXc
Cuntley trying to steal the headlines on our day,fucking twat.
Jheeze Sky Sports hire some bangable women!
Bengali are you talking about the one outside Wembley stadium
yeah
and georgie tompson
She certainly is.
YESSS GROVERS.. On our way to Wembley now.. Can’t wait to see Van Persie lift the cup today!
COYFG!
If we bottle this im going to throw a massive fit.
Had a lie in, and my usual egg bacon and toms, now starting to fret, in case things go tits up, should have more faith, we’ll win just hope we don’t serious injuries on the way. the gob shites are going to kick the shit out of is, we know that. the ref needs to be strong from the start, none of this I’ll give you a couple of bad ones before the cards come out, because it’s a cup final crap.
To all of you going have a great day out, and may football be the winners today, not long ball clogging.
Bengali she’s actually waiting for me
Mr. Arsenal of today (RvP) & Mr. Arsenal of the future (LJW) combining, plus a Nasri goal and the Cup stays in London!
COYR!
GO! GO! YOYO20
btw,
cesc4official Cesc Fàbregas Soler
We all want to see @persie_official lifting the trophy at 18pm so we need the best from you gunners today! Let’s give it all!
DS – keep dreamin mate! lol
See how far we have come.
We have walked on water, ridden through the storm
And now we are fighting for a trophy.
—-Chezzer———
Sagna—JD–Kos—–Clichy–
——Song———-
—Daiby—-Jack—-
–Nasri—-VP—-Arsh
Jack needs to support Arsh better and Arsh needs to support Clichy better. Agree Song needs to stay measured in his forays. Daiby needs to play better than he did against Newcastle and maintain discipline. I expect the Brum guys to be very determined, very physical and take pot shots from anywhere. We also need to keep the ball, pass faster, make off the ball movements to take advantage of possession. It will be tough, but we should prevail.

off with their Brummie ‘eads!
Almunia should play today.Morning Suga
Lets hope the mighty Arsenal stick it right up that ginger jocko ex hun and his band of doozy Brummies. North West London brace yourself for the arrival of a bunch of cloth capped, lost, baffled, silly talking, bespecled, Crossroads watching, unemployed car workers, with 50 pence to spend on a pint of Mild, a packet of sandwiches and a bottle Dandelion and Burdock.
DS,
you WUM, you
it will be another imperious display from Szczesny today!
ds@10.45. do you want to start a war here?
Stick the five years, stick the five years, Stick the five years up your arse!!!
Stick the five years up your arse!!!!!
SING IT LOUD AND PROUD GOONERS!!!!
I am so fucking nervous i almost don’t want to go.
Where?
mooooorning.
is there a game on today then?
cracking post geoff, where can i get that rotten fish dish recipe? sounds a beaut!
To the match
we should boo that cunt Roger Johnson from the start so the ref has an eye on him
he is very capable of maiming a player on purpose cos he IS that sort of player
dirty dispicable cunt!
almunia’s contract is up this summer!
wooohoooo
Have to win, just have to. These bitches owe us for all the heartache of the last 6 years and the mickey mouse cup had better be just the start! Just listening to Chippy’s solo on 79 cup final.” B” side – Christ, could he not sing !
Oh my NERVES……
So, still no news on Rooney being charged for his grevious off the ball assault on an opponent, the chav coward…..
Just seen the rooney elbow on that wigan fella he should be charged with abh its a joke
was it discussed on MoTD?
Dont know dont watch MOTD especially when them manc cunts are the headlining game!!
Lurch yes it was,maybe he can serve a prison sentence with Cuntley if he gets charged for shooting that student.
good DS, at least the FA will discuss it then. although I can’t see clattenberg reversing his decision to make it a sending off offence.
they should give that student the air riffle and a chance to shoot cole back!
how many frigging times do we here that Arsenal have won nothing for 6 yrs. I am sure deep down the players are crapping it in case they mess up today without keep being reminded by the media.
Clive,
a lot is made of it, as we are The Arsenal and we are expected to win stuff, it’s not like we are Sp*ds or something, eh?
Morning Grovers
I’m shitting me keks.Will be spending a lot of time in the bogs today.
Always thought it was “Que Sera Sera”, but right now I don’t care.
COYG!!!!!!! Close the game off early so we can relax.
yeah thats true. ahhh.. oh to be a spud
I am more on the same wave length as E12 GUNNER, when it comes to a big fixture. Though not so much near the kasi
Yep 0-4 after 22 minutes would be a relaxing
A win today will open the floodgates to more trophies.I hope the players realise this.
Arsenal are plotting a £20million summer raid for wantaway Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina, who is desperate for Champions League football.
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/178786/Arsene-Wenger-in-for-Kop-keeper
—————————————————————
Is the Daily Star trying to put Szczesny off? Are the players allowed to read newspapers on matchdays?
E12 i’m sure they do.
Its bollock’s anyway as if Wenger would spend £20 mill anyway……………
Daily Star not a fucking clue,just stick to tits.
Where’s people going for a drink marylebone?
Rooney is such a cunt that’s it’s beyond a joke. But fuck the scouse-twat. All I care about is the Arsenal.
Not worried about not having Theo today coz on form I’d play AA23, but we’ll miss his speed against that dinosaur Carr. Also, hope Nasri steps up to Fab’s role and plays a blinder.
It’s 11pm in Oz but I don’t think I can sleep before the game..too nervous/excited.
Can’t believe how nervous some people are.
Man up.
haha theres not many men in here.
everyone cried when arshavin scored against barce
cried.. I was firkin estatic
Ha Ha Gambon my son just told me to do the same.
Don’t ignore me
Not nervous there Gambon?
I’m only nervous because most of our players haven’t been in a final like this so I don’t know what to expect from them.
i peed a little when shava scored against barca
This game is ours to lose.
The pressure is on us, birmingham have nothing to lose.
Lets get this trophy.
COYG.
we also have nothing to lose, after all, its only the mickey mouse cup
Right a quick sausage sandwich then Wemberlee here i come.
Lurch,
I would not underestimate the impact of winning or losing today…
true test for this lot, as Brummies will try to do everything to unsettle them, and let’s not forget who the ref today is
Cashley and Shreik can go fuck themselves….8===========D
im not SuGa, that statement was tonguefirmlyincheek.
its a get out of jail free card for work in the morning if it all goes tatas up.
mike dean’s a cunt, but he’s a slightly tighter cunt
than phil ‘who ate all the pies’ dowd.
not much of a get out of the jail free card, if you ask me
but who needs one anyway, eh?
back in a few…
enjoy DS! tear em to pieces!!
The pressure is getting to SUGA
hell i am so excited
We’ve just got to win the Mickey Mouse Cup now while it’s on the plate.
Don’t wanna go overboard though we once belittled this tournament, it’s a trophy but it’s a small step to success maybe this season or likely the next according to history.
Goddamn India is ripping England apart.
I mean bigger success
How many runs will India get ..
Would not be surprised at all if Birmingham get medieval in this game, they’re going to be desperate to win and no doubt Mcleish will be telling them to do whatever it takes to win.
To anyone who’s nervous, remember 2 things:
1 – think about the Birmingham fans
2 – we’ve waited ages for this, let’s enjoy
Good luck to the boys today and all the Gunners around the world.
Chilli cook off party at my mates with a few beers and the game. Dress code: Red and White.
Much love you all.
JR
Haha JD is loco
I am not nervous, I am cautiously optimistic
COYRRG!!!
on a sidenote to todays game:
Anyone else fucked off that batten-burg decides against sending rooney off for common assault during uniteds game yesterday? The FA MUST ban him retrospectively for that incident.
The 3 games he would be set to miss had he been correctly sent off are:
chelsea away
liverpool away
arsenal home (cup, providing we beat orient)
Disgusting isnt it..
‘Que sera sera’ is french for ‘whatever will be will be’
An anglo french song written years ago but correctly predicting AFC’s 2011 season – four trips to Wemberleeee, que sera sera.
I cannot believe that whole Rooney thing. Too many things happening across the season in Man U’s favour for their not to be some kind of agenda.
What has the reporting been like in the media, bareing in mind they were all over Fabregas. I bet Rooney gets off scot free. Disgusting player, bigger than the game unfortunately.
given the games he was set to miss out on, there has to be an agenda.
Did you hear ferguson? He said it was an accident and that no doubt the media will be pushing for a ban…an accident? maybe that red nosed wife beating cunt should learn how to control his animal players
where abouts are you gooneroo? im in adelaide?
What Rooney did has no place on the field but the EPL/FA are spineless when it comes to Man U. Look at the refs bottling it on Neville v West Brom or say Vidic in the cup final vs. Villa. There are numerous events each season which seem to give United that little boost when they need it most.
Happens too much for me to be paranoid.
Cant wait until kick off.
This is a massive game for Arsenal. I just hope that they are taking this uber seriously. There is no place for complacency today and I hope those players do not arrive at Wembley thinking the game has been won already.
They will be a tough proposition and will try to frustrate and bully us. We have to stand up, put in 110%, not retaliate to petty tackles (Diaby) and play our game. If we do that then we should win the game.
Good Luck Arsenal, lets get that not won anything shit off our backs.
England have no chance they need 340 and Anderson with 1-91.
They have much chance as Brum beating us.. I’m kidding don’t underestimate them they’re likely hungry for this as we are, ah well time for some food and a bit more sleep before it starts.
Enjoy the day but it’s only the Carling Cup at the end of the day. Que Sera Sera
