Hi c/gunners. I am interested to know what your plans for the game are?

Kickoff for me, local time is 2am. This is probably worse than the previous KO time of around 5 or 6am. I'm in a place that has a vigourous offical Supporter club, that I am a member of. Unfortunately, membership doesn't give any access priveleges to the pub where they are watching and it's first in, first served…I think 4 hours before the start would be necessary to ensure entrance…it is going to be rammed.

Happily, I have found another bar that I have booked a table at. Unfortunately, the two friends who got me into Arsenal can't come. They were living within shouting distance of Highbury, when I first showed up in London in 2001. In a sign of unconditional love, my wife is coming, despite no massive love of football!

For the 2006 final, I was in a pub in Oxford, by myself and with no other Arsenal supporters. So this time, I want to be somewhere where there will be more atmosphere, especially if we win.

I somehow have a good feeling about this game. 🤞

Might as well put this one up early.

Imagining of Havertz plays and gets the winner. It would be his second time scoring a winning CL final goal.

18 hours to go...

Although this site claims it's 22 hours.

UEFA says it's 6pm CEST (Central European Summer Time) and gives times in other cities. Handy because everybody's so bad at time zones. Even if they say the right time, they often give the wrong name of the time zone, like saying it starts at 12:00 ET (eastern time) when it's actually 12:00 EDT (eastern daylight time).

I guess it's normally at 9pm local time and some people didn't check, they just put up timers for 9pm assuming it was at the normal time. I hope people don't get caught out by that.

No Zubimendi, Calafiori, Gyökeres or Timber starts. Lewis-Skelly in midfield with Rice and Ødegaard, plus Hincapié and Mosquera on fullbacks. Havertz up top with Trossard and Saka on the wings.

Yeah, I think the gaffer's got this right. Up to the players now.

On their side, Hakimi's back.

The only big game left, the biggest of the lot, only two can be there and we are one.

Real question: do I wear the Kim Little kit we won last year's in, or the nameless one from this season

Unfortunately the device I watch this on is also my comment device here

This entertainment is annoying
