HUNGRY LIKE THE WILF
Sometimes we can forget how important Big Cup is to some people. Just ask misty-eyed Jacob Murphy, who looked like he was floating on air during the famous pre-match anthem before Newcastle’s opening match at San Siro, like a man steadying himself at the altar before the bride arrives, or simply watching that Rustlers burger cooking in the microwave. Just ask the Arsenal fans Football Daily chanced upon down the road at St Pancras earlier on Tuesday, who have waited seven long years for their team’s next Big Cup away-day and appeared determined to celebrate by drinking some top-shelf specials before 9.30am. Of course, one of the best things about taking the Eurostar is their policy on taking liquids through customs. As everyone (including Dennis Bergkamp) is well aware: trains > planes. Mikel Arteta should have known better.
