Arsenal 3 v 0 Rovers - Cup Semi Final

[etrovers]

I am going with my brother

Come on you blues

[pksrover]

I'm coming to cardiff on friday with BRSCN! I am really looking forward to the game, I think we'll win 2-0! with Stead and MGP scoring the goals! Lehmann will get a red card, just because he plays...never liked him

[Ricky]

I have a sneaky feeling we might just get a result with our very own Dead Parrot scoring the winner...

Information for Friday / Saturday night revellers in Cardiff: -

'The Yard' is an alright place to start. It’s the old 'Brains' brewery, there's lots of space etc. That is on High street. The yard is just across the road from o’neills. There are quite a lot of good pubs and bars along there.

If you go up the street from the yard (away from o'neills etc) you'll come to Sam’s bar (? i think) at the end, and then along that street (Mill lane) there are some really nice bars - Moloko is a really great place to go. If you carry along that street you can turn left into a little arcade that take you back to high street. In the arcade is a great little pub called kiwi bar (or something) - that is definitely worth a go. Further up high street (towards the castle) there’s a funky little place called the toucan bar. There's loads more places on high street, but I’ve forgotten their names!

So - if you get to the top of high street you'll be facing the castle, turn right and carry on to Queen street - the main shopping area (pedestrianised), carry on going, and on a street called the priory (or the friary, not sure) there’s a bunch on bars like the ‘Ha Ha bar’ and ‘slug and lettuce’ etc, they're quite nice. If you keep going down queen street for a bit, on one of the streets off to the left you'll see a big old red brick building saying 'Evolution' on the front. That’s just a generic club/bar type place - there's two parts. If you go in the front it's just a club/bar type thing, does mainstream pop/dance till 3 ish; round the back is a bigger club (it's all part of the same thing) and that’s more dance etc. That place is vaguely entertaining, but watch for fighting because it's frequented by valleys thugs.

Also - there’s a big, huge place called Dewi's on Mary Ann street (or somewhere round there). There’s also a big walkabout on high street (but I’m sure you'll see that anyway).

As I left for work this morning, I heard on Talksport that Paul was to be interviewed by Alan Brazil, but missed it . Did it happen and what did he say, Paul and Brazil, about the semi?

[SuperStella]

<< Todd proud to be skipper >>

Unfortunately I dont think the interview ever happened.

Millwall were allocated 21,000 for last year's final, so i would imagine we would get around the same number.

[Nayef]

Am getting the 8:30 (?) train from birmingham. Will have lots of time to kill so will see what's happening.

1-0 Rovers with Andy Todd scoring the only goal.

Last time, before the Worthy Final, I got surprisingly pished and ended up in a club, a gay club somewhere near the prison. It was down some steps, amd was as though it was in the cellar of some old victorian townhouse. Does anyone recognise this description, or did I dream it. I would like to revisit it this Friday.

If there is a place that does real ale, the local brewary, Brains, does a great beer called Revrand James.

i think if our defence is immense as it has been we have a chance.

scoring goals has been are problem on some occasions this season but after banging in 3 against the saints hopefully we can give arsenal the treatment too.

i think with the noise we can make we will b the 12th man and get a victory!!

stead to bang one in past jens tossp*t lehmann!!

I am staying in Bristol over the full weekend, am lucky to be sharing the petrol costs with 4 of my NUFC supporting mates who I am driving down as well.

The prince of wales (wetherspoons) in Cardiff is quality, has a spiral staircase which, if tactically placed below it, you can see what some ladies have had for breakfast if you know what I mean, erm, I heard....

As for the final, will be happy as long as we give a good account of ourselves, nothing worse than under-performing in such a huge game, and losing!!!!!

come on rovers, relight my fire!

[bellamy11]

Whatever happens all I want is to feel proud of us.

I remember when Celtic came to Ewood and I expected us to play like we did at Parkhead. We didn't - we froze and embarassed ourselves. We lost both games but one time I was proud to be a Rovers fan and the other time I knew we'd let ourselves down badly.

I 'think' I could stomach losing, but only as long as Arsenal know they've been in a game. This is a real chance for Rovers to get their fans to be truely proud of them, and that's what I think they'll do.

Ditto. Going down to get them now!.

We're staying in the Ocean Park Premier Travel Inn in Cardiff on the Friday evening (many thanks to Hughesy) so it would be nice to meet up with anyone down there.

As for the game I have this strange vision of us nicking an early goal, then defending resolutely for most of the game before breaking away again to score a second in a routine 2-0 win!

1 - 1 AET

Rovers win on penalties.

Hope that all who go have a great day. I'll be watching it out here on TV live.

[wilyrover]

Eventually found some digs. Out on the pop round Cheltenham. Guess what its Wetherspoons is called? 'The Moon Under Water' - very imaginative. I'll be in there on Friday night. An hour's train ride from Cardiff. See you all on Saturday.

[James No. 7]

My prediction: Rovers to win after a penalty shootout.

If you wish to sample this try the Cayo Arms, Cottage, Gatekeeper(Weatherspoons) or Westgate.
