The carling cup match confusions explained:-


1) Still don't know what the Koscielny/Szczesny confusion was about. Spelling each other's surname?

2) Birmingham really spoiled Arsenal's party. Even after the final whistle, the Gunners were asking whether Cesc Fabregas would be allowed to go up and lift the trophy.

This was the most comical of all. Two football pundits/Arsenal fans were discussing this issue on a certain program before the game and looking back at the conversation, I can't help but laugh out loud!

They had two different schools of thought. The first one was of the opinion that Fibreglass will be allowed to lift the cup 'in a suit'. He even cited precedents for this! Apparently Arsenal were to seek permission from the league to allow this to happen - Googled it - true story! He he he.

The second fan had a more radical idea. That Fibreglass be put on the bench and two minutes before the final whistle he substitutes someone - because by then the game 'will be safe' - again He he he. He can then run around a bit without even trying to play. His reasoning? If fibreglass 'plays' for even 30 seconds he will not be denied his winners medal. So in addition to lifting the cup, 'he will get his winners medal'.

At no point did any of them mention words like "if". It was like they were simply going to pick the cup from their grandmother's house!

Now you can understand why I can't stop laughing - even as I am typing this!!!
