Same. Defibrilators will need to be on standy at the BB!

Usually watch games at home alone so this will be a different experience, but feel like I should do something special for this. Lately started to feel like maybe I didn't appreciate previous trophies as much as I could have as I started supporting Arsenal in 1997 and then we won things straight away. So I may have got into the mindset that it's something that just happens every other year. Now that it's been almost a decade without winning anything I fully appreciate that this chance may not come again in my lifetime so want to make it a really memorable occasion.


I've claimed to be a supporter since around '89 but didn't get heavily into it until around '97ish as well, so I can readily identify with that.

Also previously stated in this thread that I'm in the same boat re: watching matches at home alone

Gonna be out of the comfort zone and getting in amongst it! 


I'm heading to Goofy666's the night before for some bevvies and a roast pig, then in at the BB nice and early!

What time most of you lads heading down? 3.30 or right on kick-off?
