Arsenal, Champions league finalists!!!!!

Today is a good day to be an Arsenal supporter, So therefore today is a good day for me.
After years of trying we finally made it to a Champions league final and it hasn't quite sunk in yet.

After a first leg that should have been 2 - 0 and would have been only for a perfectly good goal being chalked off for offside. And then a second leg that ended in the most dramatic manner, with Villarreal being awarded a penalty in the dying moments of the tie. It was never a penalty, but as it happened super Jens "king" of Lehman managed to save it anyway (which was nice).

In the first leg we had the appearance of a squirrel on the pitch (he/she made 3 forays onto the Highbury turf in total, (even squirrels love Arsenal) and then last night a fan (wearing an Argentina top) invaded the pitch and presented Thierry Henry with a Barcelona top with Henry's name printed on the back of it. I suspect he may have been a Villarreal fan trying to unsettle the great man. Despite the fact Henry didn't manage a goal on the night, it didn't seem to phase him at all.

What can i say but, Roll on may 17th (The Final).


No matter who we end up with be it Barca or Milan I see no reason why we should be afraid.
All that's left for me to say is, whatever happens, they've (Arsenal) done us (anyone who supports them) proud.......
