geordiesteve710 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Why's the Cup draw on a Monday night? http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/29558089 Had forgotten about those old school FA cup draws. Bert Millichip on the home teams and Gordon McKeag on the aways iirc. Graham Kelly looking like he was trying to stare out the cameraman at the end while waiting for it to cut back to the studio of whichever channel it was on. Whole thing was like a funeral.

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 http://www.90min.com/posts/1630680-video-arsenal-fans-go-absolutely-nuts-after-losing-to-stoke-and-almost-fight-each-other?a_aid=35032 :lol: That's very similar to us like, the whole 'I support the team stuff'...people will laugh at it and say they're spoiled or whatever, but it's all relative. Arsenal should be doing better, just like we should be. They should be challenging for the league, we should be challenging full stop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
