so whos got tickets to wembly?

my first FA cup final.

My first final with arsenal.

my first trip to new wembly. (cant believe I've had the chance to go twice before. to see Stevenage haha)

not sure what my plans are but i'm sure I could manage to have a couple beforehand with some of the lads from here

{Ed025's Note - you can have drink with dags...he will be the guy in the corner with REMY on the back of his shirt.. :)

That's Sir Remy to you Ed, show some respect to Arsenal's soon to be all time leading goalscorer.

(If not, I'm so going to get a lot of stick from a lot of people).

The only Remy I want to have after Saturday is a Remy Martin.

13 May 2014 21:57:17
Is it Saturday yet?

{Ed025's Note - are you waiting for x factor dags?..

Is it this week your doing you stand up comedy dg

Lol Ed, love it.

Mgm you love my jokes mate

I do dg, the site wouldn't be the same without your jokes

{Ed025's Note - your right MgM...it would be vastly improved.. :)

Gotta admit, you are on good form tonight Ed, respect.

Saturday dags goes back to Malaga

If you had to pick one,

1)Karim Benzema
2)Mario mandzuki
3)Jackson Martinez
4)Loïc Remy
5)Mario Balotelli

{Ed025's Note - benzema for me AFC14...but i cant see why you have remy in that list..who the hell would vote for him?.. :)

Hhmm, tough question.
Let me think, 1), no hold on, 5), wait a second, don't rush me now, 3) has potential, hold on, it might be 'phone a friend' time, 2) is looking good, any chance of a 50/50?.

Ok, in going to go for a shot in the dark, 4) for me please.

{Ed025's Note - unfortunately dags...you go away with nothing..but lets give him a round of applause.. :)

Benzema for me, I wouldn't mind balotelli its just would he settle and calm down

{Ed025's Note - i doubt it MgM, hes as nutty as a squirrel,s fart mate..

Someones been watching the trip to italy ED! haha

Ha ha ed

Its not pointless Dags, your not supposed to pick the one that scores the least mate :-)

Ed, "nutty as a squirrels fart".
cracked me up, love it

Ouch G62, you lay off my boy Remy.

Eds,

with the WC just round the corner (that's World Cup, not toilet), would you be keeping the format the same, ie separate banter pages for each group of supporters, or are you thinking of having one 'England Supporters Forum'?.

{Ed025's Note - im looking in to it dags, and will reply presently mate..

What a great idea Dags, its only once every two years we get a chance to put club rivalry aside and unite behind our national team.
If you can pull it off it would be brilliant Ed

{Ed025's Note - im on it G62..

I await my agents fee Ed, lol

{Ed025's Note - its in the post mate..

It could be a very smooth way of getting more posts on other boards by different supporters,

or could just be arsenal, liverpool and everton fans talking. like usual

On the Sagna debate, he is 31, best years are past him, we have had him for 7 years, he is a full back, he would hardly hurt us. If he went to M City he would be a fill in player, I certainly do not lose sleep over him.

£110 k for a full back at 31, whoever pays him that has been robbed, fair play to him at that age if someone is silly enough to pay a player who isn't in much of a position to win football matches

{Ed025's Note - to be fair to the guy, he has been a very good player BG, and a good servant..do you begrudge him a final big pay day?, thats just a question mate..

I agree Banbury.
Last 2 seasons he's been a 6 or 7/10 player at best.
If were going to improve then we need better.

Oh no, hence my comment of fair play to him.

When you say Big pay day.I just don't get that, isn't he on 70k a week and playing regular football, when you get to that level of money a bit more makes no odds, all Arsenal players are millionaires . He won't be moving to better himself that is for sure

{Ed025's Note - i dont think players see it like that mate, look at rooney..

And his other half is a hottie lol

To be fair he always gave 100% and never let us down.

Difference is ED Rooney if going to another club, you can't say that about the Predator, if for instance he went to City, he certainly wouldn't start each week

{Ed025's Note - you may be right mate..

Why pay Sagna 100k to stay?
Its his last big contract and his been a good servant to the club
A replacement may take time to settle making a title challenge next season a little bit tougher.
Arsene will only sign 2 to 3 first team players max per season meaning if we have to buy a RB its 1 or 2 max elsewhere.
We have 160 million in the bank and a 60,000 stadium charging the highest prices in football, we can afford it.
Reasons not pay, our wage structure and we will only have 145 million left to play with

Where has Malaga gooner gone? I may have always moaned about his horseshe*p rumours but at least his guesswork was entertaining.
He's still on a 0% success rate on the rumours, there's time to turn it around though.
Is he posting under a different name again now? Is he Dagenham?

Lol, why does everybody think i'm Malaga?.

Paul I don't thinks its Dag
malaga roumers where more acurate.lol
only joking Dags

I think there's little doubt they are both one and the same, how else do you explain the whole Remy thing? Its the only thing that makes any sense
Sorry again Dags, I'm only joshing mate

Right, that's another 2 people struck off my Christmas card list, lol.

(or Chrimbo as Ed025 would probably say).

{Ed025's Note - you tell them malaga..i mean dags.. :)

Ed,
You are suppose to stop this verbal abuse of one of your finest patrons, lol.

{Ed025's Note - i just cant help myself dags...you know the old saying.. never give up the chance to kick a guy when hes down.. :)

I make you right Ed, lol.

I wouldn't worry about possible transfers at this time lads. Wenger has stated it don't begin until after the World Cup so there no point fretting, let's just enjoy the fa cup final and the World Cup and go from there, I'm not getting stupidly worked up and agitated as I did last summer, as far as I'm concerned we've made progress, just need the finishing touches, a DM and a world class striker, which I don't see happening, over to you wenger, anyway 3-1 Saturday, Ramsey ozil and giroud.

Just wondering if you managed to get any FA Cup tickets when it was at Cardiff? I went to each of the finals when we played at the Millennium just to watch in the pubs & take in the atmosphere :-) On the final whistle against Southampton I ran out of the pub got a ticket from a departing Soutn' fan & managed to blag my way in to see Viera lift the cup - you'd never get that at Wembley! How many of you fans miss going to Cardiff for the final, atmosphere was amazing

Im not sure as to how far the rumours of Alexis Sanchez are true, but I feel he would be an excellent acquisition. he can play across the front 3, pace, work rate, stamina.

and I think he will do just fine in a team like ours, where we have outlets from creative midfields for direct play which he and theo will thrive on.

in that scenario, having giroud upfront is ideal, as it would give us a target in the middle and pace on the wings.

not sure about lars bender or javi martinez, I think those deals are not going to happen now, along with draxler. recent statements from players like drax, reus, bender state that they are more than happy at their present clubs.

13 May 2014 09:44:02
I do not envisage any success with Giroud as our target man in any formation. Even if we had Ronaldo and Bale on the Wings and Messi lurking behing him, I still WOULDN'T want Giroud as the target man sorry

Its not ideal, but if we are not going to sell him and we are not going to get a player who will make giroud a sub, then might as well improve the supporting cast.

I bet Steven Gerrard was relieved over the weekend. I posted on the 26th of April how Gerrard had said that if Liverpool won the Premiership he was going to treat all the academy players to a Macdonalds as a way of celebration for the youngsters. What a lovely offer that would have been from good hearted Stevie. Now the kids will have to go without. Maybe if they do well next season uncle Stevie may be able to stretch to a Kentucky for them to compensate for letting them down. Aahh! Makes you feel sad doesn't it.

My favourite 3 moments are GAZZA with that screamer pick that out seaman my 2nd BALE ripping you apart and scoring everytime he played you my 3rd NAYIM from yhe halfwayline in the cup winners cup stll makes me chuckle today

Really valleyyid I would have thought you favourite would have been finishing above us in league 19 long years ago, my favourite was you selling bale and buying those fantastic replacements haha

Valley,

The only team Bale had ripped apart is Tottenham, because you are crap without him.

Valley
I will give you them.god you have a wonderfull memory,
My most memroble bits this season
1 avb being sacked.lol
2 Tim but dim sherword sacked
3 levy staying.

Valley your allways welcome here at the top table, but dust those chairs.
good boy.
Valley your new name here will be gooner b***h,

Dags. The answer to your question yesterday regarding Sagnas comment was that there was a picture posted on twitter I believe, of Nasri lifting the Premiership trophy and Sagna commented ' Lucky you' .
Take the comment as you like was Sagna having a snidey dig at Arsenal for not winning it or was he just being genuine? . Who knows.

Thanks Gold's,

I didn't see it. Not a nice comment to make but maybe it was taken out of text.

Thank's for the info mate.

Maybe it was. Probably was to be honest. Someone wanted to make more of it.

Was that it! Not being funny but you'd hope to be hung for a slightly worse crime, like taking a library book back a date late or something.
More to do with bitterness of him not signing a contract than what seems like a perfectly normal statement.

Gunner62. Yep that was it mate. But he more than likely said it quite innocently. "Lucky you" like anyone would say "well done." But there you go . What can I say?

What if sagna had actually said in french "you're lucky!" (cause we were winning)

and a mistranslation or even a slight different in culture/french phrasing

made it come out as "Lucky you" (i didn't get anything)
