Hello!!!
Started supported Arsenal in 1977, when I was but a kid, in the days of Terry Neil, Liam Brady, Frank Stapelton, Pat Jennings, Pat Rice, Sammy Nelson, David O'Leary etc.. Ahh remember the 1979 cup final between Arsenal and ManU, Arsenal 2-0 up and cruising, ManU came back to 2-2. Alan Sunderland scoring in the last minutes, what a final!!
I choose to forget the 1978 and 1980 finals.
They were basically the London Irish team at the time, so being in Norn Iron, I supported them, and have done ever since.
So yes, I am excited about the match, an added interest is the MIL is a ManU fan, so I NEED Arsenal to win.

I actually, before I even went to a game, started to support Arsenal, then those around me, drummed it into me, that I was a south Londoner, so the choice for me, being from Brockley, was Millwall or Palace, Me ole man, wouldn't let me go to Millwall, Said they were nutters, (this is back in the 60's, I'm older than i Look 'specially on here lol)
I Love roller coasters, so I'm happy with my team
So, tonight, Come on Arsenal, The south, Cantona and kung fu kicks and all that

Im sorry Ozzie but I am only a recent suporter (about 5 years) but i didnt jump on any bandwagon. in fact, i didnt really know what league or anything arsenal were in at first but we owned a pub up until recently and so footie was on all the time and i watched and i simply liked what i saw. i thought (still do) arsenal were just pure class and not like any other team (cant explain it really). i was hooked and i still am. if i wanted to jump on bandwagon i would have suported Man U same as rest the bloody pub!! take the pi** if you want - i couldnt care less!!! i will be screaming in my husbands ear this afternoon and praying to God we win.

It was an excellent time though and a good memory that I will always have.......even though we lost.
I am sure United will do it today though.

Re: FA Cup
Those of you watching with settop boxes in Aussie, try out channel sbs epg, they are stuck on rooney, I accidently switched it onto that channel just now, and was swearing my head off, until I realised that SBS1 had normal coverage.
Ahhh the wonders of modern technology.

This match has been quite tame so far in comparison, or maybe you just feel the emotions more when you are younger.
