2-1 to us and Liverpool to flog Spurs with a 5-0 scoreline would be okay for me.

The rumors of Mbappe to Newcastle are now getting into silly mode.

Čech to play according to a few reports. I usually support us keeping the player who was given the cup duties if we make a final. But not in this case where future employment with the opposition is on the table.

Jesus wept .... "silken sheets " ...what a poofter ... what was your father's name ..... Hugh Hefner ...?

Nice little 7 am watch for the civilised people Downunder .

I had a dream last night [ lying on cotton sheets or were they polyester ] that we got a penalty ...and we missed it .

That sort of take on things ; shows you are too used to dealing with slippery underhand Aussies .

I'd say future employment would be the last thing on Čech's mind ...... he'll be out there to do the best for Arsenal .
His allegiances will only change once he takes up his new position .

It's like saying Giroud will spurn the opportunity to score against us because of his former affiliations .

Hopefully a good omen.

Your problem is that you trust people too much.

Dreaming about missed penalties. Old age catches us all. No busty wenches involved. Sad really.

Cup Final day. While you wander out in your onesie at 6.45 am, at my house up at 4.45am - cup of Oolong tea. Expect the outside temp to be about 19 degrees so none of this hot chocolate nonsense. Some toast and vegemite plus cereal at half time by which time we will be 2-0 up.

They probably have to play both keepers in the first 11 because neither will accept be reserve.

Sarri said later he wanted to practice set pieces in the last 15 minutes but the media were allowed to stay and he couldn't do the practice.

Had a look at BT Sport website, and it seems to be UK only.

Still unable to find firm confirmation that SBS are showing it live down here, other than a vague reference on their Facebook page. The World Game site just shows KO time and the teams. Fingers crossed, not keen to get up at 4:00 am on the strength of a rumour.

Im getting up for a 5am kickoff on the basis it will be on'but like you I am not 100% sure. But it may be on my Optus phone as a default.

I'll get up anyway and trawl about for a link if its not, beats going to bed and having nightmares about a Giroud hat trick!

What's the Optus stream quality like Gaz, been thinking of switching from Telstra to get the PL?

while the Cuzzie Bros across the ditch watch it on regular Sky TV ........

I reckon we'll win this 3 - 1 Aubameyang , Lacazette and Welbeck ... Giroud to pull one back for them in the 87 minute .

Bernard PM'd me .... said look out for him if the cameras pan the crowd

... he'll be dressed in a pink " I love you Per " T shirt

Okay at times but can get a bit sketchy. But I live in an area which has pretty poor 4G so don't judge on me. Terrible that to see EPL I have to go with only one provider and looking at a phone sized coverage is pretty terrible.

Thanks for that Gaz, and I agree with your comment. Couldn't believe Foxtel dropped the ball so badly on the renewal when it was up for grabs.

One of the Arsenal flights also departed two hours late, hope Bernard wasn't affected. Shambles, how can you forget to fuel aircraft?

Sounds like Chavs have flown from Luton while we - Bern - used Stansted. Makes sense. Both airports are about 30 miles north of London.

Regardless of the numbers travelling, Thomas Cook must be laughing. How many passengers does a charter plane carry?? 350 maybe? It won't be 'silver service' on board. No hold baggage either. Few coaches at the other end and that's it. That's close to £350,000 per plane in a day. Wonder how much of that they have to dob to UEFA for the gig?

I'm worried that I am going to miss those goals and even worse, Bernard in pink. No coverage here...

European final, first one since when? 2006? Whatever, first time, not nearly as interested. If they score first, I'm turning off the tv. Yeah, I know...I know.

If we do lose, the only thing can soften it a wee bit is if Sperz lose big. Not that I'm happy with Liverpool with another European cup.

Pull yourself together man!

Čech plays, as does Özil. Sadly, Mustafi doesn’t.

Kante starts and so does Giroud.

Chavs are odds-on. Not sure about that. We should’ve won at theirs and we stuffed em at ours. If we hadn’t gone missing in the last six games, we should’ve finished above em.

Quietly confident.

Bernard PM'd me .... said look out for him if the cameras pan the crowd 

... he'll be dressed in a pink " I love you Per " T shirt

And Bernard will initiate a Mexican Wave with every Arsenal goal scored.


     

  

Getting tense now. Massive night for the club.
COME ON ARSENAL!

COYRs

Özil’s role is to put in an early reducer on Hazard.

Hazard is sadly carried off, more out of theatre than real injury, but Özil is sent off.

Happy days.

Let's do it! Come on you Gunners!

I feel sick

Pat rice!!!

Nothing on SBS over here so I can look at my phone for the next couple of hours. The big worry is it is too easy to lose your *%^@ and throw the phone if it is not going well. COYR

Btw don’t know if it’s been said BT sport showing it on YouTube. Still might be uk only. VPN would sort it out if you’re savvy like that.

Yeah only on Optus Sport I think. I just signed up with the NBN with Optus and they threw in the sport for me.

Scrappy so far. Hazard has launched himself, screaming, a couple of times so far but has (mercifully) been ignored.

We look more dangerous, but not by much.

Pen. For certain

All day, for mine!

Very marginal but the gk doesn’t get the ball and looks like he just clipped Lacazette. What is var checking? Should be a pen

Lacazette dived.

Lacazette running through, azpilicueta has a big hold of his shirt for the entire run. Why is that not a foul? It would have been a red card as well?

Xhaka skims the bar from 25 yards.

We’re on top need to make it count

and again

Lacazette is getting smashed.

Nice save by Čech too.

Thought Lacazette just hung his for the pen shout. Still just a pen for me. The shirt pull was ludicrous.
