I remember someone saying that the FA cup final was on or around their 50th. Unfortunately can't remember who said it.
But here's a thought. Are you one of the lad's who's always on ArsenalFanTV after matches? I remember one of em saying something about a 50th birtday ha.

Timing is one thing this club can never get right, or maybe they have. It could be that the only player not fit for the final is theo. Why have we struggled all season with players injured and hey presto there is s final coming up and like lazerus they are all better again. All the medical staff can go on holiday early now.

Steve is it true you once found a wage packet with £2000 in cash in it and complained about how much tax and national insurance had been stopped? :-)

I love that.

I heard Steve lives on a farm.
One day he sent a letter of complaint to his local council.
"I wish to complain about the farmer across the road because his penguin wakes me up at 6am every morning".
The council never replied.
(only joking Steve).
Agree0

The Eds change the original word (rightly so) and replaced it with penguin.
The original word is an animal found on a farm that rhymes with sock, lol.

Whats this about us activating Vela's buy back clause? I for one Loooooved Vela at Arsenal. Despite his limited opportunities, he reminded me of Eduardo. Would be good to get a flair player up front again. Weve been missing that.

+1 to that G83,
though I doubt vela will be the flair forward we eventually land.

So there's pictures of an Arsenal trophy parade bus with FA cup winners 2014 on it (and although it has a nice ring to it, it makes me nervous!)
We've also given advance notice of road closures etc for a Sunday parade.
I know logistically things need to be prepared but I never like hearing/seeing or knowing about it til our captain is lifting the trophy!
I don't know why we need to give notice for road closures etc. I would do laps around White Hart Lane beeping the horn and showing off the trophy. No advance notice needed!

Can't see us getting Benzema as I think he will go to Liverpool as part of the Suarez deal, would make sense unless he really wanted to join us and dug his studs in
Believable0
Unbelievable0
I'd love Benzema and Ballotelli! Quality and crazy in equal measure but god damn. What a front line!
Agree0
Disagree0
I don't think Suarez will leave Liverpool, which could scupper our chances of getting Benzema.
Agree0
Disagree0
Well Money Talks, if Liverpool are going to let go of quite a few players and buy quality, they will probably need to sell suarez to fund some more purchases.
Its not like they need to buy 10 players, but if they intend to sell suarez they would like to buy the likes of lallana to complement sterling and sturridge in a new front 3, and strengthen other areas like LB, and CB.
I do not see the benzema swap for one simple reason.
Madrid Value Suarez at say 70mill euros, Liverpool want 100mill euros, Madrid want to swap Benzema + 30 mill Euros, but Liverpool Value Benzema at 25mill Euros, you see where i'm going with this?
it would be easier for Arsenal to say, ok 35-40 mill euros for Benzema, we have a deal, and they do a seperate deal to land suarez and complications no more.
the worst complication in this scenario is Wenger finding his wallet.

Arsenal have received nearly £93m for this season from TV deals and league placing.
£13m on Remy and the rest on a few top class defenders and a holding mid.
As Del-boy would say, "put the kettle on Grandad".

Or we could buy some old lawn mower engines instead and go down the nags head and ask triggers advice on which defenders and DMF to buy

Afternoon fellow Gooners. As I can't get down to London at the weekend and probably live in one of the worst places to watch this cup final in a pub I will still give it a go. Does anyone know of any Arsenal fans watching the game at a pub in Manchester? Long shot I know.

Jack has sought the advice of one of his biggest critics Paul Scoles, well done Jack mate it really seems your on the right track now.
I personally think being over taken by Ox and left in the starting blocks by Aaron this season has done Jack the world of good, next season could be very big for Jack which of course is fantastic news for us, dispite criticising him a lot this season we all want him to realise all that wonderful potential and be the player we always hoped he might be

Season ticket renewal time:
potential signings:
Benzema, Di Maria, Sanchez, Balotelli, etc.
Reality:
A couple of free transfers
A couple of lowish cost signings, around £8-10m each.
Why do we fall for it every season?
Yes, we signed Ozil for £42.5m, last season, but don't foget we sold Gervinho & couple of others and still had funds over from the sales of Nasri, RVP, Song & Fabregas.
Believable0
Unbelievable0
Totally agree Robbie, IMO Benzema is the ideal target to go for but wenger will offer £12m then £15m and he'll go to PSG for £22m on a mega bucks contract of £250k a week. Unfortunately we won't entertain that price or contract, shame because it would re-unite Ozil & Benzema which could land 2015 title. 2 more sleeps til Wembley COYG
Agree0

Season ticket renewal? Sorry but its not like we're having trouble shifting them?
Agree0
Disagree0
The money making machine that is AFC will continue to take in all it can and payout as little as possible until the product it produces loses its value to the customer, there is no sign of that happening so ticket prices will rise and spending will be minimal.
It will only end when either we don't make the champions league or ticket sales fall dramatically.
Its a shame but it will sadly take either of them to happen for the club to change course
Agree0
Disagree0
I agree with gooner134- there is a waiting list. If you don't renew, someone else will take your place - simple.
what Robbie G said may well pan out (hopefully not), but it won't be because of season tickets, always thought that was a bit of a myth.
