Does anyone know a good bar in Vancouver that will be showing the game? Just moved here from Toronto thinking all I'd have to worry about was a good relegation battle :)

Anybody know anywhere showing it in Ollantaytambo, Peru?  :'(

Jump on a bus to Cuzco, it's only about 60k away. There is an Irish bar in the (NE?) corner of the main square and an "English pub" on the opposite side. Failing that, hack into Nobby Solano's tv account, I am sure he still follows us religiously.
Think I've seen that journey on "world's deadliest" where the coach spins it's back wheels traverses across the mud "road" and falls 4,000 feet.

FA Cup Final replica shirts (home and away) now on sale in the club shop at £35 for anyone interested.

Why's there an 'Away' version?

Hoping some people buy both?

Because they've got boatloads of away shirts left in stock?

Ironed on. Bit of text below the badge and FA Cup logos on both sleeves.

On a similar note are this season's shirts still available for a tenner with the voucher?
Went to get my lad one before the QPR match and the queue went round the shop twice!
If they have some left will buy him one before the Everton game

That deal has been extended to (or always was) all remaining home games and season ticket holders. Loads of stock available in the club shop so wouldn't worry about not getting one.

Good luck - I absolutely loved Cuzco, it had a really chilled vibe. If you want any tips just PM me.

Cheers Pat. Really looking forward to it, even if some idiot has moved the cup final back two weeks.

Got a day off today and wifey is at work, so I've got an opportunity to wash the clothes I wore at the semi final in readiness for the final. I don't know why but I have to do them seperately. My lucky socks are currently on a 40 degree wash and in an hour or so my lucky undies will get done. Jeans will follow lunchtime and my fleece should be done before wifey gets home. I will of course dry them seperately in the tumble dryer as well.

I do have a dilema about my lucky retro home shirt. It's never been washed. I've had it two seasons now and I literally put it on as I walk out the door to the game and I take it off when I get
home. It was a long day at the semi and it probably needs a freshen up. If I wash it will we lose?*

*this top has witnessed the worst home record in our history but that's not the point.

I took this on Sunday. Lots complained it says Arsenal first but officially they are the home team, its just that we won the toss to wear our home kit



On another note, just looked at the seating plan online and Block 551 we were in was split into two prices for the semi final, £53 and £43. This time it's all one price.... £90!! Rob dogs
