None taken, I'm sure we will have a great night out. No offence.

[Annasfield]

Keef - the second half was not dull, so shut it!! ;-) (Assuming it's okay with Clare, you're welcome to come to mine for the game).

I think (but am not sure yet) that I have two tickets for the CL final. I entered the UEFA ballot and my account was debited this morning for two tickets. ::o.

[Keef]

How much is a flight to Russia???

[SeanMacGabhann]

it is a long way to go to watch an Arsenal Man Utd final for sure....

[Annasfield]

It certainly is Sean - lets hope you don't have that inconvenience. >:D

[Ladygooner]

Annasfield - don't forget ?50 for visa and it takes at least a week to get iot

[Annasfield]

Cheers LadyG :)). My mate's wife is Russian, so I've been pestering him all morning. I don't even know if I've got one yet, whether we'll qualify and even if all that happens I'm not sure that the purse strings would allow me to go.

All that said, I think if were all to happen, I may well not even think about the debt and just bung it all on my credit card. ;-)

[SimonM]

Well as a neutral it is of coure none of my business really, but (takes deep breath and life in hands) I reckon Arsenal will beat Liverpool over two legs...B)

[Annasfield]

Assuming SimonM is correct, I wouldn't spend that much money to travel to Moscow for the wrong sort of red team. You smug Gooners would have to let me know if you want them. I'd never tout them, I'd just ask that UEFA issue them in your name and you can give me the exact amount I paid for them. :))

Annasfield

I do the same with gig tickets when I have spares - sell them on at cost to someone else who wants them, not tout them. Good on you (that's a drink bought in the Castle pre CPT on Friday!)

[Sandperson]

Anna, can I have them when United get to the final?

I didn't realise Newcastle were in the Champions League.

[Sandperson]

There's only one united Atila, you know that!

[mockney piers]

I have to say this made me feel better about our defeat this weekend

"the wrath of god melts your face"

and this one was genius

Sorry to piss on your parade but I think you'll find that Newcastle have been known as United for eons, going back to the 30's and 40's, long before that mob from Salford. And speaking from a purely factual stand point I think you'll find there are very many teams called United, however there's only one team known as The Arsenal. And you know that!!!!

[Jah Lush]

I'm trying to delete from my memory banks Tottenham's woeful performance yesterday but it has really annoyed me and it won't go away.

[atila the gooner]

Putting a posting on here about it won't help Jah, I just think your boys played as if there was nothing to play for. But as supporters we want our teams to show at least some passion, especiallly given the amount of money they get each week (I'm just jealous)

[SimonM]

Merde United have only been called such since 1902: Newcastle 1892 (I think). Sheffield United from 1889 >:D<

The Media's constant abbreviation of Ferguson's mob to simply "United" pisses off football supporters from Dundee to Torquay...

Well put Simon.

Still only one United.

He shoots he scores.

"Still only one United."

Fulchester?

[Jah Lush]

Having a trophy in the cabinet is some consolation though. But losing like that at home to Newcastle is embarrassing. It's not nice to come into the office on a Monday morning knowing that your team played crap and were well beaten. Ramos, I'm sure will have a good clear out of anyone he doesn't think is good enough at the end of the season

Newcastle Piers! Keep up.
