[Bene Version 3]

Going to jinx Arsenal and say I think they will win tonight.

[Corazon de Leon]

2002, eh?

[Denster]

Piss taking aside - what was the Uefa cup final score that year? Wasn't it ridiculous like 4-3 or 5-4? Amazing game.

5-4. One of the best finals ever.

Yeah remember watching that. Great game aside form the result.

[Bene Version 3]

We finished 7th in 2002.

[Denster]

We were 3rd.



Dark days!

[Skippy]

[Codename 47]

Absolutely amazing goal this was

[Denster]

Aw precious memories.





Those six or so years were great for our rivalry. From 98 onwards.

[Bene Version 3]

Absolutely amazing goal this was

Best goal in a final ever?

[Skippy]

Yeah Page 2004 here we come

And 2005 when we somehow won the FA Cup. Oh right, yeah, because United forgot to score

Arsenal: Szczesny - Sagna - Koscielny - Vermaelen - Gibbs - Song - Arteta - Ramsey - Rosicky - Walcott - van Persie

Rosicky instead of the Ox?

Makes sense as rosicky will be more defence and the ox would be great to bring on.

Have you seen what Milan have done to the pitch? They've utterly ruined both wings to try to stop Arsenal playing. I'm guessing Rosicky was picked because of his tendency to drift inside.

[Denster]

yeah - possibly the most annoying final ever for us.

[Bene Version 3]

The pitch is absolutely terrible. Dodgy strawberry floating Italian bastards.

[SandyCoin]

Racist

[Ecno]

My feeling is it will be an Arsenal win or a draw.

[Skippy]

That pitch! How can anyone defend that, the wings are completely different to the rest of the pitch!

[darksideby182]

Gooners

[Skippy]

Robin there at the coin flip, what a babe

[Denster]

Great strike.

[Kanbei]

What a strike that was.
