ok, so xmas is finally over thank god.......

and we've got cardiff on sunday!!!!

i am SO looing forward to that!

for a start im only having to travel for just over an hour to get there, as opposed to my usual 5 hours !!



and im bringing my footy team on the good old student union minibus (hope it actually makes it to the match without breaking down...)

and we're gonna be accompanied by 2 banners, a flag and a blow up talking referee!!! gonna be fun i tell ya!!

and im hoping we're gonna kick cardiff's ass big style!!!

anyone else going to the game??

Im sure you'll be a popular sight as an 'away' fan lol x

Like the banner Katie well nice. I'm hoping to go that is as long as I don't get lost and the rail works down this end aren't on.

Yeah i'm off to the Cardiff game but i'm gonna be supporting the cardiff girls!!
Up the WELSH!

Good on you Ambro

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Yes I'm going aswell, staying up in C'diff 2mrw night. Not sure who to support yet lol!!

Cath, you know is the right thing to do. Get behind the welsh lasses. Pull on your City Shirt and shout on the girls.

I'll be at the final Looking forward to it aswell, first time i'll be meeting twmcat in person (Don't worry i'll be careful)

Katie, who will the other players in your uni team be supporting?

I'm loving the banner you have as your sig.

btw Katie, did you use to post on the Fairgame message board?

well............ i've heard a rumour that a couple of them may try and support cardiff......... but i'm not gonna allow that, i just won't let them on the bus!! im in charge!!!

and did the banner when i was bored at home this xmas. altho im bored of it already..... ive got a very short attention span!

and YES i used to post on fairgame!!!! are u john, the guy who gave me info about where the bristol vs Arsenal match was? my first ever Arsenal ladies match!!!!!

I think ill be supporting the welsh at this game, but that also includes Ludlow!!

I had a feeling you would be supporting Cardiff after your recent trip into the capital city of Wales where I gather you met some of the Cardiff players.

Cath, here was I thinking you followed Arsenal Ladies and wanted to meet Kel and Luds and then you go and spoil it all by supporting Cardiff. Btw does this mean you do not want next season’s Arsenal home shirt?

I agree with you that you must put your foot down re the issue of who gains entry on to the bus. I would only allow players who will follow your lead and support Arsenal.

Katie, no need for 3 guesses then as you are spot on first time round. I am John and I do remember mentioning about the Bristol v Arsenal match ages ago. A lot has happened since then though as I noticed that you have appeared in a national newspaper as well as getting to talk to your idol Kelly Smith and have even been given the title of her No. 1 fan.

i know its bit early on but does anyone know when and where the final is gonna be, so determined to go, completely missed it last year, never even watched it on the tele, was gutted!!! oh and ITS SNOWING!not that i'm excited!!!

yeah that's crazy how much has happened since then!! back in the day when i'd only met kelly once and was SO in awe of her!! and now its just normal seeing her play cos ive been to see Arsenal so many times.

and yes..... the newspaper (if u can call it that!) bit embarrassed about that now!!

TOTALLY CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They don't confirm the venue until much later in the season. It seems that the final is usually held in London but really they should pick grounds around the whole country so as more fans can get to watch a final.

yeah i've seen Kel in lots of games since she returned to Arsenal.

At least you got some cash for appearing in the 'Ooh Ahh Daily Star!'

Some good articles and interviews about the match tomorrow:
Gunning for Cup glory - Dennis Bergkamp and Faye White talking about playing Cardiff via TheFA.com.
Short match preview - Via Arsenal.com.
Vic Akers video interview - Link to free video interview with Arsenal manager via Arsenal.com.
Faye White video interview - Link to free video interview with Arsenal captain via Arsenal.com.

ok. way too excited about tomorrow. lost all ability to write my dissertation.

It seems like a close match as got txt from Cath a few mins ago saying it's 1-1 at h/t. So Cardiff are playing well.

Thanks for the update goooner4ever!
It sucks there never seem to be a matchtracker for womens football in England.

Just got another txt to say that Arsenal won the match but Kelly picked up an injury.
Cath was not sure if it ended 3 or 4-1 to Arsenal.

update: got another txt to say that Kelly was limping but it might not be that bad. It was a good match but Cath was freezing cold.

Kelly injured?! Nothing too serious I hope.

Arsenal to the 5th round at least!

Thanks to Cath and gooner4ever!

Are you alright?
Have you actually developed some sympathy for Miss Smiss?
And look at your avatar - missing me *cough* I mean Malla already?


Anyway 3:1 or 4:1 is not too bad, well done Ladies!
( And @ gooner4ever - Kelly is always limping )
