Wtf did Welbeck get given an award for? Scored a winner against United in the FA Cup but otherwise can barely remember him being fit to play let alone contribute anything. Deadline day panic buy when we'd spent yet another summer not strengthening the team and found ourselves without a fit centre forward the day the window closed. Will neither be missed nor remembered but good to get him off the wage bill. Hopefully we can cull the rest of the leeches in the summer.

I think that's a bit harsh AJC. We've well and truly missed him this season, especially when you look at contributions by those who covered him (Ozil, Iwobi, Mkhitaryan) but for his injury record that's why he won't get a new contract. The clubs shown some class and sent him on his way gracefully. While we're not doing well on the pitch, we are still showing our class.
watching Liver and City over the weekend and today reminds me how far off the pace we are :(
also random question, If we play Chelsea in the final and Chelsea win does that mean we get a champions league place?

And without a major cash investment it's hard to see how we could ever compete again. We should also be taking advantage of the weaker Madrids, Barcelonas, Uniteds etc this season but instead we're faffing about with Palace and Brighton at home. To think this morning's result may not be the most or even second most sickening result that could happen this week.
i honestly couldnt think of a worst final then liver vs spurs

You will play Champions League if you win the final.
Potentially on the verge of a 'Champions' League final between two clubs who haven't been champions since 1990 and 1961 respectively.
We're all Ajax fans now.
Fudge football. Think I'd be just about done with it if we flop tomorrow morning after this.

All rugby fans now? Football is a stupid game, who wants to watch endless 0-0 draws, the players are diving primadonnas, etc, etc.

100%. At least they've had a season worthy of it.
Gutted for Ajax, they were 30 seconds away from a well deserved final, having knocked out arguably some of the best teams in the comp.
Looking forward to Salah playing like a man possessed given what transpired in last year's final.
Could be worse. Could be United fans.
Spurs will probably still find a way to win on away goals!!!
Get in boys! 2-3 up!!!!
shark, now mustafi is coming on...
can we start AMN and Torriera as our DM midfeild pairing next year?
Auba may not be able to pick a pass. But like hell he can finish!!!
We're in a European final lads.
Fudgeing get in!!!!
That was an exceptional away performance. Clinical on the break, hopefully we can actually get the goods done in the final.
Bring on Chelsea.
So just a casual 4,600km trip for the final.

i think the A league marketing team should get in touch with uefa and tell them about this chance to promote a new long distance derby

Or 15000km from NZ
Anyone going to make the trip? We're in Bali en-route to life in London. If we were living in the UK already I'd be lining it up!
I've also got a mate who flies out today to see the FA Cup final as a massive Watford fan.
Don't have a ticket to the final this year, nor do i have much savings at the moment, so gonna be a no from me.
Would love to see someone from here make the trip.
does anyone know kick off time? It comes up as 11pm NZT when i google it......that can't be right surely
It's on at 11pm Azerbaijan time on May 29, which I believe is 7am NZT on May 30... (a Thursday)
I'm getting the day off.

Same here so I can celebrate like mad or drown my sorrows and sulk in peace and not have people rubbing it in.

Think you will find it is 11pm NZ as it is on at 9pm here in Aussie

Looks like Leggy is right.
It's on Wednesday 29th May at 11:00pm Azerbaijan time. Which equates to it being Thursday 30th May at 7:00am here.
Leggy is wrong and so is that google screenshot.
Good performance this morning. Auba and Laca are really doing their best to drag this pathetic squad to the finish line.

Also, fudge UEFA for hosting this in bloody Baku and then allocating only 6,000 tickets to Arsenal fans.

The small ticket allocation to fans has been an increasing pattern over the last 10-15 years. Most of the tickets these days go to corporate sponsors.

68,000 capacity stadium and each team only get 6,000 tickets each. Absolutely pathetic from UEFA.

Wow that's absolutely ridiculous!

Plus the lack of flights available, 900 GBP minimum in cost for flights, and the 9 hours in travel from UK to Baku.
As much as I like to give Leggy a hard time I do rely on the Google for many kick off times and this appears to be the first time it's wrong.
Farking fire up lads, cup finals time!
