Cup Final pubs and who's sitting where thread.

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Six FA Cup finals I've been there with my dad and brother.

This time I'll be sitting at home getting bollocksed watching it with them instead - entirely by choice.

Why would they? The onlinegooner forum gave out 100 free tickets to the top 100 posters, so everyone who wanted one got one. :barscarf:

Ah, did you not get the pm? :shock:

Wouldn't it send the greatest message in football history if we boycotted attending the final?
We're going to get murdered anyway and wish we weren't there!!
Not going to happen but just a thought from a pished idealist

Ballot success seems random, mates got 3/5, 0/5, 1/3 ....

Sandbanks is expensive because of the view and a great beach, but it is the dullest place, mind you if you own a harbour-front house you've probably got an endless supply of high-quality totty coming and going, so you don't really notice. .
still shit weather most of the year.....

I've attended 7 (plus the 93 replay)
Won 6,just the dippers 1-2 defeat that still hurts as we mullered them but apparently possession, chances and expected goals rules hadn't yet been brought into the game.

93 - Sheffield Wednesday + replay
98 - Newcastle
01- Dippers
02 - Chelsea
03 -Saints
14 - Hull
15 Villa

Right now I feel flat with little interest in a cup final,how sad is that ?

Couldn't do Villa final and 93 was bit before my time - did go to the United final though where we robbed them blind in the pissing rain.

Literally took me less than five seconds to decide that I had no interest in chucking away time and money going to see this lot lose to Chelsea at Wembley.

I'm planning to drink myself stupid before this shit show. Hopefully then, I'll be too pissed to remember any of it and too numb to feel the misery of the thrashing.

BournemouthRed from here?
or Harry Redknapp will be around.

:barscarf:

I was a Bournemouth resident for 9 years, came to my senses and moved back to London. All I have are the mental scars and the username to show for it.

Funnily enough, I owned a house right by the iford bridge. Llallana's parents live their too. Funny old world innit

Literally have no idea where we are drinking before the game. Been putting more effort into how to get back to south east London sharpish after we get tanked 4-0
