Gutted!!!
applied for cup final tickets, 2 of them, I have 2 season tickets, 1 for me and 1 for my son.

My one was successful, but my son was unsuccessful.

can I be that horrible and tell him, I'm going, you're not???

At the end of the day, he can't go without you so it's a waste of a ticket if you don't use it.

Depending on how old your son is you could go without telling him, but I think the safest option would be to sell the ticket or purchase another one so that you both can go.

So, I turn 40 on Wednesday and I've been an Arsenal fan ever since I can remember. Never been to a game though and it's always been something I've wanted to do at least once in my lifetime.

Long story short, my wife surprised me yesterday! We're flying to London today for the Arsenal v Swansea game! Magic!

Obviously game was meant to be on Saturday so she had to scramble to get return flights and hotel reservations changed.

Saying I'm chuffed would be an understatement! COYG

And with that, I'll end with a joke just for Ed025:

Today, I decided to give my wife a taste of her own medicine.

I took her round 11 different pubs, only to go back to the very first one to buy my pint.

Spent the evening walking about Finsbury; had a few pints at Twelve Pins. Really looking forward to the game.

Wife and I walked past this proper swanky restaurant and she says; "oh that smells lovely". Being the gent I am, I said bugger it, I'll treat her. So we walked past it again.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - good stuff sharpey..if you meet a weird looking driving instructor at the match..dont converse with him, or your jokes will go downhill mate.. :)

And don't forget to give us a run down of how the game went and who impressed you etc. :-)

It's good to get a perspective from someone watching the game live.

Ah i'm going on Monday as well, I get down to 3-4 games a season so it won't be as special as it is for you, but I still get a really overwhelmed when I walk into the ground, seeing the immaculate pitch, the huge North bank armoury, and my heroes walking out onto the pitch

Red Dog will definitely do that when I get home Tuesday. As it stands, a few curiosities I have with selections over the last few days is not starting Theo. We lack pace on the wings and while Theo has on more than one occasion frustrated with crosses into the box, it's still better to have him on than not.

Another frustrating thing is our seeming inability to kill off games. We can be 3 up before half time and we come back on and take our foot off the gas. We're not setup like a Chelsea team where we have the luxury of allowing teams to play and soaking it up.

I'm hoping for a good result - it would make this amazing experience even better.

@saint, will you be wearing your arsenal rumours shirt? If you are, I'll spot you and say hello. Ed025 sent me my shirt because I won some best bad joke of the week competition. Apparently it was close but I just shaded Dags.

Wanted to do the tour but wasn't able to get much in the way of information on short notice.

{Ed025's Note - dags is unbeatable in the bad jokes stakes sharpey, but enjoy your day mate..
