Well, to be fair, this is our third tournament final in the past 9 years since 2005. The problem is that, for many fans, they're use to Wenger delivering trophies since he arrived. In his first ten years, he helped the club win six trophies (not including the Charity/Community Shield), not to mention the 2003-04 unbeaten season. Now, the fact Wenger has managed to maintain Champions League football for a consecutive number of years is still great, but the fans want the glory days of what Wenger provided them before, Arsenal actually being considered title challengers, not just getting CL football by the scrap of their teeth. Things have changed and much like most modern fans, they've become impatient.

Arsenal went 10 years without a trophy between 1979 and 1989, but it was acceptable back then. Much like how City and Chelsea have rotated managers, and Moyes was removed, fans and the club boards haven't got the patience to allow time to let trophy's slip away. It's why Arsenal have been fortunate to not have a direct owner and keep having faith in Wenger, but they can only keep the faith for so long.

I think most of it stems from the fact that a lot of Arsenal fans started supporting because of the success Wenger brought to the club. If he didn't win those trophies, they wouldn't be there. It would be stupid to sack him, even if he lost the FA Cup.

May have got this from here originally, so apologies if so.

That said, I'm more worried about my team (Dundee United) though in the Scottish Cup Final. We're being made out to be major favourites (we're favourites, just not as heavy as the BBC wants to suggest) and usually when that happens we fucking bottle it, so I'm expecting such a case.

Well!

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Well!

I did say... Oh well, they were better organised than us and we're coming into form at the right time. Now I can watch Arsenal capitulate in peace.

 

[Uncle Sam]

WELL!

 

[Uncle Sam]

Never mind the season - this applies to this fucking game!

Good final so far. Arsenal was lucky with the equalizer though. Should have been a goal kick.

And Diego Simone is a legend now. Sold their best striker, win the league.

Someone needs to photoshop John Terry into that.

If these reports of Suarez's knee injury are true, he's finished for the World Cup. I had this injury a few years back, it took 10 weeks to heal naturally and then broke down again 2 weeks later because of the stress on the joint.

Yeah it looks bad for him. I was operated on in March for a medial meniscus tear: I'd say that aspect of it healed in about 6 weeks, but there's always the risk of associated injuries like cartilage damage. Even with the expensive treatment he'll receive he'll never rehab to be 100% by the beginning of the group stages.

I hope he makes it,

£40mil for Luiz?!

 

[Loveless]

£40mil for Luiz?!

Couldn't believe it either. PSG are clearly telling UEFA and FFP to go fuck themselves.

 

[Alastor]

How is Chelsea making clubs pay a king's ransom for players they want to get rid off recently? lol

First Mata and now Luiz. Is this karma balancing out for them getting ripped off from the Shevcheko and Torres deals? Next someone's going to buy Cech off them for 30mil so they can field Courtois.

 

[Gibby]

Luiz is quality, maybe not £40m of quality, but PSG can only make one transfer so they may as well try and buy another Brazil national player.

Not that I needed much persuading but mon Derby! Fuck QPR.

 

[Tastycles]

I fucking love the playoff final. Good day of sport today.

Which is good, because I'm home alone and don't have any money.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'd come over but I just got a Sainsbury's meal deal and I haven't showered.

 

[Tastycles]

Is there anyone that doesn't want Derby to win this?

 

[Gelgarin]

Maybe half of the QPR players.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Did I just see Robert Plant in the crowd near the dugouts?

Also, which Madrid are people backing tonight?
