Nah i dont think it should be played at the millenium stadium. I see no reason for it. Villa park is good enough - leave the millenium stadium for the final, keep the shine and special feeling about the place.

It's all about the money mate. They will beable to sell about 30,000 more tickets. 30,000 at £40 a pop gets the FA an extra £1,200,000 as well as more from souvenir sales.

This game is all about the money these days!

Yeah i suppose thats the sad truth of it. I know from personal experience if Boro had the carling cup semi in Cardiff (ignore the 2-legged idea) then the final in Cardiff, the shine would be gone slightly. Half the joy of going there was the fact it was special, a one off game and (for me) id never been before.
 
I know what Boro means. I used to hate it when the FA Cup Semi Final's were played at Wembley, it takes away the specialty of reaching the final because you would've played there a fortnight before hand.
Villa Park it is then, Saturday 3rd April, 12 noon kick off, live on BBC1. ;)
 
Go these today by e-mail, thought I would share them with the rest of you. Thought I better put them here cause the Utd fans are a bit tetchy about negative posts in their forum today.

Manchester United are aiming to set up a call Centre in May for 'fans' who are troubled by
their poor season.

The number will be 0800 10 10 10.

Calls charged at peak rate for overseas users.

That number again....

Don't know if any of you have seen the mirror today but this is officially the new Arsenal first and third kits. If the blue kit is popular it will take over from the yellow kit at the end of next season. Well according to the mirror this is!
 
A quick joke you guys might find amusing, oh and Man Yoo fans cant complain as its in the Arsenal forum, and after all its only a joke ;)



Manchester United have set up a help line in association with The Samaritans for fans who are troubled by their current form.

The number is 0800 10 10 10.

Calls are charged at peak rate for overseas users and fans outside of the Manchester dialing code.










Once again the number is...

0800 won nothing won nothing won nothing
;)
 
Deja vu like a motherfucker! :lol: :mrgreen:
I hope Don's reading this. ;)
 
That blue away kit looks great but what's with the yellow stripe on the home jersey? I think I'll be staying away from that this season.....

Ive never been to a arsenal game in my life, just never had the chance to get down to london, not to mention the fact its hard as nails to get a highbury ticket.

Thanks for any help
 
Nice interview with Henry:


03/10/2004. Arsenal striker Thierry Henry, in an exclusive Interview with Italian daily 'Corriere della Sera', has revealed his thoughts on Arsenal, the Champions League and Serie A.

"Last year after the win at the Olimpico against Roma (3-1, hat-trick by Henry) we seemed unbeatable," he said. "And in fact since then we did not win, a run of 5 consecutive negative results. Arsenal are not among the greatest in the Champions League history. If you play with Milan or Real Madid, everyone expects you to win in Europe, but with Arsenal it's different. The favourites are the usual: Milan with their usual 0-0, 1-0, and naturally Real. Each year there is a surprise: I hope that this year's surprise team is us. I'm sorry for Juve's elimination."

Who will win the Italian league? "With my heart I reply Juventus, as a neutral spectator I say Roma. I still have many friends at Juve, Trezeguet, Thuram, Del Piero, Montero, Iuliano. Extraordinary guys. When I arrived there I was worried and scared. I was wrong. They made me feel at home right away. The best example is Del Piero, not only is he a great player, but also a wonderful person. In Turin on the pitch it didn't go well, but outside of the pitch it went very well. I still have beautiful memories of those 6 months, that's why I still side with Juve."

But Roma... "Ah, Roma is a beauty to watch. A real pleasure. There is something in the atmosphere, the stadium, the shirt, that makes her unique. And then they always have some great Brazilian player. And Totti? It's useless to talk about him because he is great."

In the Fifa World Player Award, where Henry came second, Totti did not even receive a vote.

"Difficult to believe," Henry continued. "Raul comes to mind: I can't understand how it is possible that with all that he won, no one has awarded him the Golden Ball yet. Football is strange.

"However apart from Totti, Cassano impresses me too. If he wants he can become one of the best in the world. I know he has a strong character, but this is something that distinguishes many champions. On the pitch he's super intelligent. He's not tall, not very fast, not strong physically, but when he has the ball... He has out of the norm qualities. Then they also have Dacourt, Emerson, Samuel, my friend Zebina, with whom I used to play when I was a kid. And Mancini: the symbol of what it means to play for Roma. You must improve yourself or you don't find a place. They always play with the ball on the ground; if you don't have the technical qualities, you can't do it."

And what of Inter who defeated Arsenal 3-0 at Highbury only to be thrashed 5-1 in the return leg at San Siro, which was a turning point in the Gunners' season: "Incredible. Difficult to say what is happening, maybe they don't even know, however from outside, in my opinion Inter remains a great team. Probably it's just a matter of time."

Henry also uttered the words that all Gunners fans love to hear

"They bought me in a difficult moment, and without them I wouldn't be here today," he said. "I'm glad to be able to give something back on the pitch. That is why all the transfer speculations about me make me laugh, even though I know they're part of the game. Unluckily I have to pay for the way certain colleagues of mine act, where one day they kiss the badge and the next day they are photographed with the shirt of a new club. Those that know me, know that I'm different."
