A sad day :( 5 February, 2007

Today the new dates for the Villa and Man City games were announced. We will now be going up to Villa Park on Wednesday March 14th and we’ve got City at home on Wednesday February 28th. I’m going to Edinburgh for a week the morning after the Carling Cup final and I planned it so I wouldn’t miss any Arsenal games but thanks to our draw with Bolton the game against Man City has been moved to while I’m away. It will be the first Arsenal game I’ve missed at the new stadium, I always new this day would come but it hurts, oh yes. I think because the fixture’s been rearranged you can get a refund on the ticket but I’ll see.
Also today I’m thinking about going to Cardiff. Even though I’m going to Scotland early in the morning the day after and even though I don’t have a ticket I want to go to Wales and support the kids. It’s always a great atmosphere around the streets of Cardiff on Cup Final day; there’s such a buzz everywhere you go and the Carling Cup final will be the last time that happens with Wembley due for completion. I’m unsure how I’m getting there and how/if I will get a ticket but I feel it is my responsibility as a loyal Gooner to make one last pilgrimage to Cardiff. However, there are some negative points about going: 1. I won’t be able to do a match report on the final as I’m going away. 2. Would be even more money spent. 3. It’s a bit of a risk with trains to catch early in the morning. At the moment I’m thinking I will go but still not sure.
As you can probably tell there’s fuck all news today. My home town of Borehamwood will be hosting the UEFA Cup Final….the women’s one. I went to Semi Final at Meadow park and now the 2nd leg of the final is on Sunday April 29th at 12pm. Might go to that one to as I’ve never seen Arsenal win a European Cup before…
Theo Walcott says we can’t give up on the title yet even though we’re 17 points behind the leaders. And for some strange reason Henry’s been linked with a move away again. As you know it’s all rubbish and Henry will retire at Arsenal.
That’s your lot for today I’m afraid. Happy Monday.
