Com'mon the Gunners

I do have some conficting emotions about cheering on Arsenal as they prepare to take on Barcelona in the Champions League Cup Final, but on the whole I hope that they win it.

Here are my own personal pros and cons about this:

Cons:

• We won't be the last English team to win it
• Wenger is a jerk - especially with his "Lucky" jibe last year
• More money and prestige to sign new players (that may otherwise be LFC targets)
• They're not exactly an English team (2 players are from Blighty)
• Pires will have a winners medal
• Listing to the Gunners singing "We are the Champions of Europe"

Pros:

• They're an English team (sort-of)
  
• If Arsenal win, Henry will probably stay (better for the Premiership)
• One of my best mates is a gunner and he was made up for us last year (I've only met good gunners)
• One of the guys I hate a work is a Spurs fan and it will piss him off.
• Man Scum will lose their automatic qualification to the Group Stages (and I can dream of them going out in the qualifier)
• Henry - a quality player who deserves the acolade (and since we're already out what better time than this time)
• Gerrard's supporting the Gunners in the same way that Henry supported us last year (more).
• Arsenal 1 - Chav$ki 0. With all that money they still can't buy their way to the Champions League the way AC Milan did in the 80's.
  
• It would piss off Man Scum and Chav$ki
  
• Neville and Giggs will cry again (although not as much as last year)
• It will give England 11 Euro Cups vs. Italy & Spain's 10
• It will give England 29 Euro Trophies vs. Spain's 28 and Italy's 27
• It's the Premiership v La Liga bragging rights at stake (we already lost the first leg in Eindhoven)
• Over the years they've been like a second-team of sorts as they've been the ones challenging Man Scum, while Liverpool have langished over the last decade+.
• Man Scum would be the dregs of the trophy haul this year: =#1 Chav$ki (Prem)/Arse (CL); #3 LFC (FAC); last ManScum (Can of Carling)
