One. Our under 18's made it to their premier league semi final.

Still less than Grimsby

Spurs are shit.

HAPPY GUNERSAURUS!

I thought it looked like he was going up to get a medal, my wife rightly pointed out he'd done at least as much if not more than the unused subs.

[stokeriño]

Didn't get to watch this OR the Atleti/Barca game...but I was playing the GoT board game so totally worth it.

Anyway, well done Arsenal. NO MORE YEARS OF HURT, or something.

[Stevie B]

I tend to stay away from this neck of the boards since football talk dominates my life, but I will just drop in for one thing...

OHHH TO, OHHH TO BE, OHHH TO BE A.... GOONER!!!

And now the actual work starts for Arsene and co. Will this be a one-off, a nostalgic trip back to the heady days of 2004?

Or can this Arsenal side finally come good on all the 'well they've got potential' and 'in a few years they'll be great' talk of the past 8 years or so?

Is that an actual thing Arsenal fans sing? That's awful

See, I made an effort to write a nice post yesterday. But if I'm going to have to suffer terrible Gooner songs written in size eleventy-six font, I'll just be forced to post what I really wanted to in response to Arsenal winning an FA Cup by beating Hull after 8 years, 362 days of nothingness:

Generally they don't sing so it's not a surprise to see it being shit.

In extra time.

[Kaney]

A win is a win is a win

[Rich]

Yes, and Hull lost, but its ok, their fans can go back and beat their wives/girlfriends/drug mules

[ZJ Penn]

And prepare for European football!

[Rich]

Ha, like any of their fans can afford a passport.

[EddieG]

Funnily enough, I had to go to Hull to get my Dutch passport renewed when I lived in England.

[ZJ Penn]

Ha, like any of their fans can afford a passport.

Half the games will come to them :/

Still more trophies then Chelsea won this season...or us...or Man U (the 50p shield doesn't count)...or Spurs etc etc Edited May 18, 2014 by DavidMarrio

[Baddar]

The Community Shield is a trophy to be proud of. Kaney will definitely agree come August!

[Jimmy]

Why? So they can count it as another trophy they didn't win?

[Kaney]

Yeah, as much as I don't see us beating City unless we make some insane addition to the squad in the summer, I'd still be very happy to lift the community shield.
