Albion - 606 Manager (U7235836) posted Feb 27, 2007 As both sets of fans are from LONDON going to CARDIFF this caused more problems on top of the rail problem at the weekend. If the other team was from central or northern England the problem would have been minor.

But look at the postives like your young players got abit of a exprience in the final and they made arsenal pround of them but i still think manutds acdemdy is much better. and i am not just saying that because is support manutd.

The Millenium stadium was a vast improvement on the old wembley and it cost 10X less than the new wembley with plenty of night life for celebrations/commiserations after the game! Stop being so pompas its arragant fans like you that give the English in general a bad name
