MAN U CL THREAD

rigsby · Post by **rigsby** » Tue May 05, 2009 3:02 pm

This is the most nervous I've ever been before a game, even the CL final (mainly due to being very drunk beforehand!) I just want to beat them and shut them up for once and fucking all. It'll be Wengers best ever night as a manager if he pulls this off.

Reminds me a lot of the Liverpool/Chelsea match a few years back, Liverpool 1 nil down, people writing them off and then they went through second leg. Hopefully the same, but I don't think I could handle a shootout!

Whatever happens, I just hope we give it a real go and can at least be proud of the way we played. COME ON THE ARSENAL!!!!!(I would write more but I need the toilet again!)

Here we go; I'm clocking off in a minute, going home to change, have a snack if nerves allow, a couple of beers and then off to the ground. I don't know how to feel at the moment, half of me is fairly relaxed but the other half is full of nervous tension.

One thing I know is that tonight is our night; you me and all the other fans that have paid our money, traipsed up and down the country, across the continent, taken days off work, bunked days off work, missed birthdays and anniversaries, taken stick and given it back and above all been an Arsenal man to the core.

Europe will be watching us tonight, let's show them we are The Arsenal, that we have class, tradition, history, heritage, honesty and passion. It's now a decade since a certain night at villa park in a semi-final and now it's our turn for revenge. It's twenty since a certain miracle on merseyside. This might just well be a turning point in our history. Our boys are owed some fortune and may tonight be just the start of it. History tells us that we are at our best when our backs are against the wall and when we need to prove our doubters wrong. In the words of George Graham, tonight is 'like climbing a mountain' but we can do it and do it with a touch of class, do it The Arsenal Way.

Let's get behind our team and let the world know that we are ready, we are together and WE ARE THE ARSENAL!!

Please don't play Diaby, please don't play Diaby, please don't play Diaby.

I feel so nervous I'm tempted to take up smoking again

Almunia, Sagna, Toure, Djourou, Gibbs, Walcott, Fabregas, Song, Nasri, Van Persie, Adebayor.
