Do I sort of figure, that if everybody is getting there early, it won't be so crowded if I leave late. I expect I will leave at the same time as usual for a 3 o'clock KO.

How many fans will forget their tickets? :facepalm:

Will Hughton target the obvious weaknesses in the Arsenal side. e.g. Walcott: the inability to run slowly. Wilshere: smokes too much.

Did you know: From Italian: arzenale, and French: arsenal, from Arabic: دار الصناعة‎, dār aṣ-ṣināʕa, meaning "manufacturing shop"

With Man City, Chelsea, Spurs & Southampton out we have to consider that when we win today we are making life very very easy for Man Utd to win the FA Cup. I feel it is our duty to allow Arsenal to win just to give Utd some opposition. Wait, rush of blood there, no chance let's give it our best.

And?

There never used to be badges until you started doing it.
As for the ****, you'd better check your pre-match thread.
There never used to be all the boring crap either until you started. Well, unless HB&B posts.
