Arsenal plan FA Cup celebrations

LONDON. — Is this the image that will spur Hull City on to win their first FA Cup?
Ahead of the Tigers’ clash against Arsenal at Wembley tomorrow, a photo of a red bus embossed with the words ‘Arsenal, The FA Cup Winners 2014’ has emerged.

The leaked picture comes after it was revealed earlier in the week, that the Gunners, without silverware for nine seasons, have seemingly pre-empted victory against Hull be planning an open-top bus parade. Traffic notices have been served in Islington, north London, with Arsene Wenger’s side set to parade the FA Cup 24 hours after Saturday’s final. Arsenal made similar plans in 2006 before their Champions League final against Barcelona in Paris. Wenger’s men were beaten 2-1 and the parade was duly scrapped.

The club’s last bus celebration came in 2004 following “The Invincibles” unbeaten Premier League season.

They did not parade in the wake of their 2005 FA Cup victory over Manchester United; that was the last time the club won a trophy. — Mailonline.
