Well its nearly here!  I'm not sure if this is true or a wind up but.... The Club this afternoon confirmed that Thierry Henry has been ruled out of this Saturday’s FA Cup Final against Manchester United with an Achilles problem. The striker, who returned to action for 45 minutes last Wednesday against Everton, suffered no reaction to the groin injury that he sustained in April but unfortunately he aggravated a long-standing Achilles injury which will rule him out of the match at the Millennium Stadium. Good news for utd! Bad news for Arse!  |

Im routing for Arsenal, of course.
But since Henry is out it gives Man U, the edge.
Hopefully its another war.

Think it's gonna be an amazing game. Whoever wins the midfield battle will win the match, my money is on keane.
Think united will take it. Hope they don't though, bunch of inbreds!!

heinze and gary neville are OUT
reyes is definitely IN
in one sense it's good Henry's out because although he is the best player in the world, he does bring an imbalance to the team causing us to always go down the left wing. fergie knows that and so he plays a 4-5-1 formation with a midfielder dropping in between the right winger and the right back to re-inforce that side and give a man utd a numerical advantage on that side of the pitch.
i think wenger will start with fabregas on the right and pires on the left with RvP and Reyes up front - the team will be balanced and so fergie's plan will not be effective. in recent weeks we've been using the right hand side more and more.
the game depends on the ref. if he isnt too spineless to stand up to the man u players and not be afraid to book them for their constant fouling and not be afraid to send a couple of the man u scum for the usual over the top, injury causing tackles then it'll be an easy Arsenal win
when it comes to football, Arsenal are far too clever and stylish for man u.
when it comes to fouling, brutality and dirty tricks, Ferge and his band of merry thugs will prosper
2-1 Arsenal methinks
its been a long time coming and we owe you - with interest.

heinze and gary neville are OUT the latter is particularly bad news for the Arse Wayne Rooney to be the first player booked (a steal at 10/1!) & Van Persie to score the winner |

Arsenal to win i reckon, i also hope they do obviously. Henry out is a blow but i just cant see United beating em 4 times in a season.

Whoever wins the midfield battle will win the match, my money is on keane. That's true, but come on, Roy Keane? Like the song goes: "Fabregas/Fabregas/He's only seventeen/And he's better than Roy Keane"  well, 18 now |

you know when ferguson has to come out and say he isnt afraid of arsenal that somethings up
fergie is shitting himself because he knows if he loses, he'll be out of a job come August.
with glazer coming in needing the club to be successful, he'll take one look at fergie and his failures over the past 2 years and realise that rednose isnt the man for the job anymore
you're just a small club in tampa, small club in taaampa!

I think, that Arsenal is too tired, so MU will win the cup.

Well, well done gooners. Can't say you deserved it, but can't say we deserved it either. Not the way a final should be decided at all!

Arsenal were terrible. did not derserve to win. absolutely terrible, but they did deserve to win under my rationale: the game's about putting the ball in the net more times than the opposition, and thats exactly what The Arse did |

Probbaly the most undeserved Cup win in history, but when you think about it -- fuck 'em, it Man Utd!!
We did not deserve to win the match at all, but Utd didn't take their chances and when it came down to penalties we took ours better.
Is funny how the Cup final sort of reversed Arsenal's season; all the things we were good at - playing flowing football, penetrating defences, scoring goals - went to ratshit, and all the things we were doing poorly at - defending and Jens Lehamann (zero to hero or what?!) - came good.
ARSENAL!
ARSENAL!
U-S-A!
U-S-A!
