They did get to keep the cup as all 5 times winners do

He can be forgiven for not knowing that

Wow - did you realise that Nottingham Forrest won the cup twice?? (1979 and 1980) - who'd have thunk it??

Yep, Liverpool and Forest are both teams with a successful European history

West Ham could be barred from Europe.

Well you were only a baby back then so to be expected, back then it was between them and Liverpool as the 2 giants of football, how times have changed for them.

You have to hand it to the scousers, they're certainly entertaining, if a little predictable. Man U get to the final of the champions league, and the scousers come on here, banging on about how many times they've won it, pictures of Istanbul etc etc.

Predictable scousers, will they ever change.

Exactly. If we take the final, what are they expecting us to say? Maybe "Yes we are the first team to win the Champion's league back-to-back but we'll never be better than Liverpool who have won it...er...one more time than us..."?

Won anything yet? Nope. Even if we end this season in 2nd place, i'll sleep soundly knowing we beat you twice

I wouldn't be counting my chickens just yet

And if that's the highlight of your season then ours will be another premiership trophy

Well think how good Arsenal feel! The highlight of our season would be qualifying for the Champions League

(Hope Gibbs learns to stand by then

)

BEING AN ARSENAL FAN IS HARD!!!

Someone has a rather large bottom lip me thinks.

I reckon about half a dozen sparrows on there at the moment.

Cry me a river

Arsenal fans are just as spoilt as the rest of the fans of the top 4.

Its the 88 other teams who have a right to complain about the status quo.

Spoilt :P Spurs are rich as well! You just keep firing all your managers

if we win the European Cup this season and next we get to keep the cup too although it is a bit too soon to be talking about that.

In the laet 70s 80s the English were the teams to beat in Europe

As a Man United fan I was obviously thrilled at last nights result, not really surprised though, Arsenal were very weak, we had a tougher time against Middlesbrough IMO.

Also, I would rather we get Barcelona in the final and lose 5-0 than get Chelsea and lose on penalties in a bore 0-0 score draw because of their defensive minded mentality.
