She Wore Yellow Ribbon Arsenal blog

She wore a yellow ribbon in the merry month of February

So, we’re the famous Arsenal and we’re going to Wembley. Happy Days. The other night against Ipswich was pretty tense but I had feeling we’d get there in the end and so we did. It was a pretty strong side, only Walcott, Nasri and Song we missing from our current preferred XI and I assume we’ll continue our new Carling Cup policy in the final versus Birmingham.

By the way, anyone who has a season ticket and isn’t planning to go to the game I’d be ever so grateful if I could use your details to get a ticket. Just thought I’d ask on the off chance, drop me an email at lasagnechef [at] the-cannon.com (- [at] + @) if you think you can help, cheers!

Tickets are proving pretty hard to come by, it’s probably our most popular Carling Cup ever. As everyone keeps reminding us it’s a chance to add to the trophy cabinet for the first time since 2005; and what a chance it is. I went to Cardiff in 2007 and that was a pretty decent day out but back then the Carling Cup was for kids and reserves only. Now some of those youngsters have grown up to become our first team and are looking to right the wrongs of four years ago and lift this trophy, this time at Wembley. It’s our first cup final at the new Wembley too and I don’t care what competition it is – that’s pretty exciting. We had Chelsea in the FA Cup semis there but this is a final now and a cup is just 90 minutes away.
