Tomorrow has got everything - an FA Cup final against one of our big rivals, memories of 2002 and all that, combined with the traditional FA Cup final sunshine...yet

overshadowing what should be one of the great days is a senile, selfish dictator who refuses to leave, even though it is blindingly obvious his best days are behind him.

Part of me hopes we still win, part of me hopes we get humiliated just to show the world how bad things now are at the club.

Nice. I'll bring my Stanley knife. Can't see that being an issue.

Just bring a nice pair of blunt-end safety scissors, and don't run with them!

I'm sitting here getting slowly more and more nervous. But nervous for the "wrong" reasons.
Not about the actual game, but more about whether the Kroenke Out protest will happen, the Board Meeting that will sort this all out/or not, and then only the actual result of the game.

This also with so many different scenarios...

1) Win the Cup and have Wenger leave on a high. Result!
2) Lose the Cup but Wenger goes.
3) Win the Cup and Wenger stays for 1 year.
4) Win the Cup and Wenger stays for 2 years.
5) Lose the Cup and Wenger stays for 1 year.
6) Lose the Cup and Wenger stays for 2 years.
7) Lose the Cup and then the Board come out with some bull-shit new scheme about a Director of Football coming in ( whoever, let's say Robert Pires ), and then giving Wenger 2 years to find his own successor, and then all the systems will be in place for Wenger to move onto the Board with some new Title of Most Gracious and Holy Leader when the time comes, and we will be under his power for ever.

I'm not even sure whether 3) and 4) shouldn't be 5) and 6).
But I don't want to have lose, lose, lose, lose being the next best to the almost impossible win/win scenario in 1).

Imagine claiming your support your team and then stating you hope they lose...... :cussing:

I can't wait until tomorrow. A day drinking in the sun with fellow Arsenal fans and then heading to Wembley to contest in the oldest club competition in the world against our local rivals.

Wenger has clearly signed his contract. It will be announced on Monday. I suggest you get behind the team next season or you have a sabbatical and then return when we have a new manager.

If i thought we'd actually contest i'd feel a little better, but given our selection issues...and the opposition.....just clench and hope for the best!

Let it go mate,we have no defence,no plan B,an egotist for a manager,and a bean counter for an owner.
We will get tonked 3-1,and all will be rosy in the Wenker garden as he announces his contract extension by Wednesday. :banghead:
You can then do your best,"I don't believe it," face. :D :banghead:

Looks like Ospina playing in goal Cech is dropped despite some very good recent performances

Ospina in advanced talks with Fernebache and likely to go, so overall strange decision

Is Wenger acting in best interests of the club?
