    Well, perhaps there's nothing wrong in a strictly business sense. A fool and their money are easily parted and all that...
    You only need to look at a few EPL shops to see they're all at it, and Arsenal are no different.

    It's the sad desperation that's the poignant part.
    If Arsenal thrashed Spurs 5-1 in a cup semi I'm sure you wouldn't be celebrating...

      Our second team team beat you in last year's semi, but we didn't release a mug and DVD. You beat our reserves this year, and you go postal.

      That, if you ever get it, is the point.

        A 5-1 thrashing of your biggest rival in a cup semi (and biggest win over them in 25 years) is a game worth remembering for any team. Squeaking through at home, and after extra time, (as Arsenal did last year) is not exactly unforgettable.

        That, if you ever get it, is the point.
        Oh I know exactly what point you're trying to make, and it's all coming out as sour grapes. Honestly, it's only the "beer cup", take it like a man.

          A bit late, but WTG Cardiff City! I'd say 81 years is long enough to wait for another Cup win...

          My dad was born in Cardiff in 1925, so he doesn't remember the '27 win. I got to watch the semifinal with him live... first time I've ever seen Cardiff City on TV, I think. It would be cool if City pulled it off.

          The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

            I don't give a **** about the Carling Cup. It's up there with the Auto Windscreens Trophy and the Zenith Data Systems Cup.

            Even Middlesbrough have won it, so that automatically discounts it as a seriously trophy.

              I guess all the others aren't serious enough for Newcastle either then, since you haven't won any trophy for the last half a century?

              I bet theres sections of NC fans that just want to get relegated so they can win the old 2nd division again just to win something.

                Baseball caps emblazoned with "1927" are plentiful around here. As cool as they are, at 81 years and counting, it would be great if they could get round to updating them.

                  Doesn't follow.

                  Then I suppose it's no surprise that Spurs supporters have problems with logic. I mean, Spurs are like the Mackems of London.

                        to the bin-dipping, hubcap-thieving, ticket-stealing, wall-pushing, rat-munching ****s for getting to the semis of the European Cup on two shocking penalty decisions in the QF and two shocking red card decisions against Inter in the last 16.

                        How much were the referees?

                        • Theres only Man Utd left that I half want to win it, but they don't usually have the balls to beat the real top Euro teams. I can see Chelsea grinding out a win against Barca in the final.
