Oh Well

What a proud and courageous performance from the boys...

We did so well... I looked at my friend Chris at the 75th minute and said (foolishly), "15 minutes away from being Champions".

 Well done boys -- you did us all proud.

COME ON ARSENAL
COME ON ARSENAL

By the way -- the shirts are still hanging proud from our house!!!!!
Well done Arsenal!

Tomorrow's the day!

Well the nerves are already jangling.... In an effort to channel that nervous energy, Cian and I decided to make sure our neighbourhood understood what May 17th was REALLY all about.

"One team in London" or "Come On Arsenal" or "He comes from Rotterdam/He hates the Tottenham/Van Persie -- ooh-oh/Van Persie -- ooh oh ooh oh" just did not seem to be getting through to everyone. Although Eileen across the road was still in full celebration after the FA Cup Final....
Anyhow -- we decided it was time to decorate!

Shirts

Then the real fun started.... Cian did his impression of the ould fashioned "You're gonna get your fucken heads kicked in..."

Whoulookingat

The he practiced what Jose Antonio was going to do (and no - I do not mean fall over):

Jose

COME ON ARSENAL
