Where do you intend to be this Sunday afternoon by 4pm ?
For me I have every intention of going to bed, locking the door and staying there.
All televisions, radio and wireless devices and internet connections will be shut off. All incoming e mail will be marked to go to spam. Answering message services on both landlines and mobiles stopped. Windows tightly closed to stop any noise from neighbours who may be watching sporting events on TVs, or carrier pigeons gaining access. In short I will be totally uncontactable by any means.
My other half will be given instructions that about 7pm to turn the TV on sound down and check BBC teletext, page 302, go to results. If this says Arsenal have won, she may then gently knock on the door to advise me of the fact. If it is anything else then leave me be.
Whatever the outcome (there is only one isnt there??), I will in any case avoid all local news media on the Monday especially Midlands Today and the Birmingham Mail.
-
watching bbc 1 and seeing arsenal humiliate blues at wembley!
-
Local pub, no TV, thank goodness !!
UTV
-
I'll be sat in front of the TV going mental every time Arsenal score.
-
Watching the inbreds crying on each others shoulders. All of them in there clown suits gutted that there still not the 'premier club in birmingham' is something not to be missed
-
Local Blues pub. I'm confident in Le Arse.
-
washing me hair
-
Hopefully I'll be watching 90 minutes of the best comedy I've seen this year while at the same time watching Arsenal doing their stuff.
-
I have every faith in Arsenal doing the business. We know that the Blues only have one game plan (stifle, defend and score a scrappy goal from a corner) and Arse should be prepared for this. If the Shit concede an early goal it will be real fun.
-
Nursing a monumental hangover and regardless of the result at Wembley, thanking the dear lord that I'm not one of them.
-
Watching Arsenal annihilate Small Heath sounds good to me.
-
In a pub in Balsall Heath giving it large in my best cockney accent. "why ain't ya at the game?...You're 'avin a larf...fack off you bluenose tit...
-
Sadly I think they will give them a decent game. Arsenal don't like playing Blues and the rabble have had a very lucky run in the cup too.
Put some money on them and you can't lose then!
-
Living away from Brum and not knowing any inbreds, there is less pressure on me than for most of you guys. I shall just feel the collective pain on here if they win. Chelsea beating us or doing well has much more significance for me down here as I am surrounded by chavvy little gloryhunting 'I only know Chelsea are playing when they have won' twats. I shall probably watch it if I am back from a weekend in Devon in time...

Arsenal smashed Blues at the sty not so long ago. It'll happen again.
-
Watching and hoping thet get thrashed (they are our local rivals after all).
However, does anyone else think they'll defend with 9 men for 80 minutes then Zigic will score the softest goal ever, then they see it out with 10 defenders to win 1-0?
It's only a niggling thought. I'd have more confidence of them losing if it was Man Utd or Chelsea.
-
Aresnal have just beat Barcelona who have Messi, Zavi, Iinesta. Can you see them worried about Gardner, Bowyer and Zigic?
No.
I shall be tuning in to the Tom Toss after match massicare phone in 'Tom, I wasn't at the game but Van Persie's fifth was offside'
-
I'll have it on and feign indifference by pretending to read the paper at the same time.
-
I'll be watching it, hopefuly watching Arsenal celebrate a triumphant way to return to trophy winning. The idea of Ridgewell winning major silverware is still too bizarre for me to be worried about the game.
-
I did think about going out to watch it but will probably anoy the Mrs by stopping in any shouting at the screen every time Blose get close to Arsenals goal.
I don’t normally dream about the Blose but a while ago I had a nightmare that they won 3-0, I woke up in a cold sweat. My other dreams don’t usually come true so I hope this one doesn’t break that sequence.
-
Aresnal have just beat Barcelona who have Messi, Zavi, Iinesta.
But just failed to beat Leyton Orient who have the class of Whing, Daniels and Revell .
Blues have everychance to win Sunday, get your money on them .

Id be more surprised if they had 3 shots in all honesty. Arse reserves will be even too good for them, but i cant see him putting reserves out regardless, 3-0 arseholes

I'd rather sell smack to infants than make money from that lot.
Arsenal will play a much stronger side than they did at Orient. Of course the Noses have a chance but the game is Arsenal's to lose.
-
I intend to be in the Disney shop in the Bullring in honour of all the inbreds who were telling me "It's just a Mickey Mouse cup" 12 months ago!

Each to their own , id rather win some money on the back of them winning or be happy to lose the odd £10 on their defeat .... winner either way .
-
It's called an "insurance" bet, bloody good idea, what odds are they ?
I will be on the couch, feet up, Stella on, Arsenal top on (may buy a cheap one !!)
-
Is'nt one thread about them enough?
-
I'll watch it, and if they do somehow win I'll turn it straight off- just as I did when Darren Carter scored the winning penalty for them at Cardiff- Straight off!!

Nah, it's dirty money - I wouldn't feel right spending it.

In 2001 I was in London and watched the Birmingham/Liverpool final in a Bayswater pub with a couple of lapsed Blues fans (aren't they all?). Arrived hoping Liverpool would thrash them but within minutes of being in a pub packed with Londonese Liverpool fans my provincial instincts kicked in and found myself wanting Birmingham to win... Dunno where it came from and I've never had that feeling since... May have been due to all the anti-Brummie vitriol coming from southern accented Liverpool fans, particularly when they realised our table of 3 were all Brummies.... I remember being on the train back to New Street the following day thinking "I must never tell anyone that this happened".... But its ten years later and I can't keep in this guilt any longer..... This year I'll be watching in Wednesbury so I don't expect anyone will be that fussed..... I'll be supporting Arsenal..... Honest!
-
I will be watching the game and having a right laaarrrf!
-
Why am I no where near as confident as a lot of you on here?!!!
-
Why am I no where near as confident as a lot of you on here?!!!
Your getting nerves confused with common sense?
-
I have a bad feeling about this, virtually every game they have played in getting to the final they have won in the last minutes or in extra time!!
I can just see either Phillips or Zigic scoring the winner with a few mins to go!!
Me - I will be watching the grass grow in my back garden
-
Watching the game with my mate and his soon (both gooners).
-
In front on the TV. Not going out to watch it.
-
Windows tightly closed to stop any noise from neighbours who may be watching sporting events on TVs, or carrier pigeons gaining access.
This bit gave me a good chuckle.
I'll be watching it nail-bitingly in my living room with some friends, giving the cat a good kicking if Craig Gardner DARES to hit the back of the onion sack.

I already have more than £200 worth of pub bets riding on Arsenal. All of it struck at even money with dozy feckers in the pub. I will almost certainly lay some of it off on Betfair at 4/1ish on the morning of the game.
If, God forbid, they do fluke a win and come looking for their winnings, I'll take great delight in showing them them how I converted their £20 into a £100 and I'll buy them a pint for trouble.
-
In my local.
If it's on the telly I'll glance up to check the score now and again, if not I'll wait until I get home.
-
I live with two noses (who aren't going), so I shall be watching in our living room with them. One's OK, knows his football, knows blues are shite, knows the Villa are massive. The other hasn't a clue about anything football related so it shouldn't be too bad.
Another one of 'us' is a nose who is going. He is absolutely unbearable at times. Bright lad but totally misinformed to the point of cringe, I feel bad calling him up on stuff at times. According to him, recently:
Villa didn't sell out for either of our two trips there this season, 'I saw the empty seats'. And how their attendances are OK considering away fans never sell out, he says this is because Blues are unfashionable... Ignoring the size of allocation they give to small clubs who've no hope of filling it.
He stated many times they'd do the cup double before the semi final with West Ham. 4-0 Arsenal on Sunday, please.
-
I have a very, very terrible feeling about this game. They've had all the jammy luck this season.

JJ, never, ever feel bad at putting one of that lot in their place. It's for his own good in the long run.

Look, this shower of shite couldn't even beat an opposition team whose goal keeper had a broken neck the last time they played at Wembley.
Not only that, but there are other pointers why the unthinkable will not happen....
1. Arsenal are desperate for silverware, chalking this one up will take some pressure off them.
2. Arsenal are very good at football.
3. Blues are shite
4. Arsenal have already spanked them this season
5. Arsenal are experienced in playing Finals at Wembley
6. Blues have no recent experience of Wembley, no recent experience of playing in a major final and will be a wobbling, shaking, choking mess before they start their shite brand of football.
I'm thinking a League Cup final record score will be witnessed.
-
Just going to make sure that I'm not in town when their trains get back. Already feel very sorry for any innocent travelers who end up on the journey back to Brum with that lot too.
-
I don't know if I am allowed to say this but Arsenal play quite good football!
-
I don't know if I am allowed to say this but Arsenal play quite good football!
They do, and it's too good for SHA.
3-0 to the Arse.

I know, Bren, I know, but it's a 'funny' old game isn't it?
-
I look forward to reading the Monday morning headlines in the papers..
'Blues suffer Arse spanking' would be my choice.
-
I shall be having the usual kind of Sunday afternoon.
The fact Small Heath are at Wembley has zero impact on me. I hope they lose, but beyond that, meh.

1. So are Blues
2. Leyton Orient?
3. True, but they have had some good results against big teams already this year.
4. Irrelevant, Man City spanked us 4-0 and then we beat them in the return game.
5. No they aren't, in fact the last time Arsenal were in a Wembley final was in 1998, 13 years ago.
6. See above.
Also, it is a cup final, anything can happen. I do hope you are right though!
-
I'll be watching. I'd usually watch the League Cup final.
Might bet on Blues to win as insurance.
-
Apparently it's 'anybodys game' against Man City when we play them, so surely the Dog Shit have a good chance too?
Be interesting to see who Wenger rests for this.
-
I shall be attending Real Mallorca vs Barcelona here in Palma. It looks set to be a cracker and I can't wait!! I believe it kicks off at the same time as the cup final so I wouldn't be able to watch it even if I wanted to.
-
I'll be watching it on setanta over here, hopefully having a good laugh at the noses, come on you gooners!
-
I like what OP is doing - media blackout... tried it once and when you find out the result it's going to be either an incredibly happy moment where you'll party like it's 1999, or under the most unthinkable, unfortunate circustances you'll feel like jumping off the top of a tall building.
I'm still undecided what I'll be doing. Might go for a nice drive into the country and go and have a pub lunch in an old fashioned pub where there are no televisions - no distractions for me. Will check the score at half-time on my phone. If I have the nerve to find out Arsenal have already got a couple of goals, I'll be whizzing off straight back into Brum, where me and a mate will just completely troll the shit out of Small Heath fans in a pub. We'll do it in a really petty, wummy way though. If Arsenal are cruising Harborne High Street will be a right laugh.
-

Like Man City against us Arsenal are clear favourites but in a one off game there is always the possibility of an upset. The Noses have a chance of course but I can't see Wenger fucking this up. I think they'll play a strong side, he needs a trophy and this is currently his best chance of one.
-
We're better than blues.
Man City are worse than Arsenal
-
Is there something important happening this Sunday?
-
What will I be doing on Sunday?
Watching and recalling, with some sadness, that 12 months ago that was us.
-
Tin hat on I want Blues to win. I don't live in Birmingham so I won't have the stick most of you get, but most of my friends are gooners and had great pleasure in telling me what a Mickey mouse Cup it was last year, only teams like Villa take it serious, Arsenal play their youth and only want Chumps/Prem League,other cups not worthy for the mighty Arse blah blah blah. So I say come on Blues, Barca , Man Utd, and Orient.
-
I think you'll be in the minority there.

I have two gooner brothers in law, and I would rather deal with them than the rags winning a cup... they will be coming out of the woodwork and going on about it for years. Arsenal send them back where they belong, the stone age.
-
I shall be watching India marmalise England in the World Cup, starting from 10am, whilst nursing a hangover from watching England v France in the eggchasing.
-
I'm not bothered if they win. If Fulham were in the final and won it would that make them bigger than Chelsea ?No it wouldn't. We hardly have a Everton/Liverpool or Celtic/Rangers rivalry do we.Our only connection is geography like Leeds /Bradford or Stoke City/Port Vale.
The bigger game for me is ours on Saturday, win it and we're on our way again.
-
OH BALLS!! Fabregas off injured, that's him, Koscielny AND Van Persie out now. The jammy bastards, why couldn't it have been Rooney, Valencia and Vidic last year? The noses are gonna win the cup. I can just see it.
-

Was it a serious injury?
-
I hope they get bollocked. Either way, I am down my local, being vocal at why any celebrating fucking idiot hasn't gone to the match.
Come on Arsenal, Wolves, Olbiyun, Walsall, Kiddy etc. I couldn't hate you more by way of combination than them.

They are now saying it was more precautionary. We'll have to wait and see. I certainly hope he'll be fit for Sunday.
-
Walcott stretchered off.
-
They might as well just send the cup to small heath now. The way things are going they will be up against the Arsenal reserve team on Sunday. Bastards.
-
Pretty much.
All the Golden Bollock chain-wearing scum will be rubbing their hands now. No Walcott to laugh in Agent Ridgewell's face, no Van Persie to score a couple and an injury-struck Fabregas who'll be taken out within 5 minutes by scumbag Bowyer.

They do seem to getting the rub of the green. Its like the Albrighton injury(on top of all the others) when we played them
-
Is there something important happening this Sunday?
I'm going to Palma (but not to see Barça, unfortunately).

Isn't 'tin hat on' one of those phrases on here you get banned for?!
Not that I wish that on you of course. Welcome!

Tin hat on I want Blues to win....... So I say come on Blues,
>:( Heretic >:(
-
Tin hat on I want Blues to win....... So I say come on Blues,
I hate the Arse ( my missus is a fan) but I hope they can do us all a favour on Sunday and put Blues back in their box.
How long after the first Arsenal goal before there's trouble in the corwd?
30,000 pissed up unreconstructed scruffy Blues fans doing their worst.
-

You just know what they'll be like if they win though.
They're like that yappy dog that that the neighbours have got. A little fucking Jack Russell that barks outside all night and gets on your tits. You could easily go round there and stamp on its head but you're better than that. It should have been put down years ago but it's still there, getting on your tits after all these years.
-
They'll leave our capital city in a right mess. It'll be like a war zone, with 30,000 tramps down there.

My thoughts too. If Arsenal turn on the style and score a hat full we could well see the uglier side of the Blues contingency. Take into account the state they'll be in and further take into account that many of them don't regularly go to the Sty anymore. A life time ban from football to some of them will mean nothing.

Those of you whos arses are starting to flap about Sunday should consider the fact that Arsenal have a 100% record in League Cup games against Blues.
-
Anyone wanting Blues to win is an idiot.
I'll be watching it hoping Arsenal smash them, theres always that niggling feeling though that they seem to be having a fair bit of luck in this cup this season. Drawing crap teams at home all the way up to us, then us outplaying them and losing to a jammy goal that Friedel should have saved, then avoiding Arsenal in the semis and a poor West Ham team capitulating, then Walcott and Fabregas both getting injured (Walcott would have had a field day against Ridgewell).
-
Anyone wanting Blues to win is an idiot.
They have a difference of opinion.
-
Anyone wanting Blues to win is an idiot.
It's the last day of the season. Blues need to win for us to stay up. We'd all be idiots.
-

Their opinion is an idiotic one. It's not about us needing them to win is it, it's them in a cup final and every Villa fan should want them to get smashed.
-
Personally, I hope Arsenal get double figures.
-
The longer is stays 0-0, the more I will worry. B'ham are not bad defensively and can always nick a goal from a set-piece. An early goal from Arsenal to open the game up and I think they'll win comfortably.

i won't be watching. i'll turn over every now and then to see the score and if Arsenal are at least 2 up with not long to go I'll leave it on. I won't look at anything to do with the game in the press, i won't go on the Small heath thread, and i won't engage in any banter with the Arse fans here...
-
It's likely that I'll be going back to London with Jon after our game tomorrow. His hotel is near Wembley and whenever there is a match on the hotel gets overrun (well there are normally a few, maybe half a dozen) football fans.
If they win I am staying in our room avec a couple of bottles of wine.

Seconded. Can't wait til it's over. Shame we may have to go through it all again in a few weeks in the big cup.

Soccerprint is obviously some shady operation run by thieves and other roguish elements, you should sue. Probably find Harry Redknapps involved with them.
-
neighbour's birthday barbeque , timed to start at 3 and will probably carry on till we can't stand up so it will be Monday before I can check Arsenal have won by 3 clear goals.
-
Going local club to watch my fellow Bluenoses squirm with humiliation ........
-
I'll be watching and hoping they win. No, really. It's much easier to hope that when you no longer live in Brum.

Well, can't say they didn't deserve it. Wanted it more. Played some really good football. It's sort of my fault tho.
When my nephew Jamie was born, I used to talk to him about a then Newcastle striker with a funny name who scored good goals. When he signed for Blose in the window, I texted my sister at the time, fearing that too much talk of him at his school (now he's 4) might see him ending up a Bluenose. When he was about to come on, I sent her this:
"Obafemi Martins coming on for Blose with 7 minutes to go in Carling Cup Final with scores level 1-1. I can already guess what will happen in his and Jamie's near future!"
Sorry everyone. Shame I never seem to do so well with my Villa predictions.
-
All those people predicting an avalanche of goals for Arsenal!
Grrrrr.
-
No Europe for us then, unless we finish 6th.

I've got a mate who's a Villa fan, grew up going to watch Villa one week and Blose the next (with mates from school). He now works in tv, editing live football for the PL coverage that is beamed around the world. And a very good knack for calling the final score of big matches.
He predicted 2-1 to Blose today. No idea what the odds were, but if richard got Blose to win at 6/1, assume they must have been pretty good.

One of mates had Zigic first scorer and Blues to win 2-1 - 125/1.

Will the war in Europe be starting in July or August.
I hate arsenal at the mo come on orient
-
It sticks in my throat to say it but they deserved that. The Arsenal defence is as bad as ours when we're at our worst.
-
No Europe for us then, unless we finish 6th.
Or we win the FA Cup
-
They'll be drawn against Rhyl or TNS, home both legs.

A bit of perspective please. I'm a bit disappointed Arsenal couldn't be bothered to win. But *nothing* Small Heath did could ever be a 'nightmare' for me. It adds up to nothing at all.

And lose.

More likely Bangor. Then they would definitely lose.

I would like for Blues to do well and go far in Europe, as when you think about it, they'd probably end up getting relegated due to concentrating on said European competition. It's not secret they have a small, often un-rotated squad, and I think this could really damamge any survival hopes they have.
This is, of course, assuming they stay up.

I keep expecting them to run out of steam any minute now, ala a MON side. Hasn't happened though.
They do have a tough run of fixtures coming up , so it will be interesting to see what happens.

They have a piss-easy run of games coming up.

Disagree.
West Brom at home - local derby won't be easy.
Everton Away - anything but easy.
Wigan Away - who are fighting for points.
Bolton at home - never easy.
