Newcastle v Arsenal, Sun 19 May 11.00pm, LIVE @ Modesto's Elizabeth

Hello Singapore Gooners,

Arsenal 4 - 1 FA Cup Champions Wigan Athletic

Phew... One more game, boys! But before the crucial match against Newcastle, loads of awesome things to share. Singapore Gooners, let's get going...

Nigel Winterburn in Singapore
Last week, I shared that the Arsenal legend, Nigel Winterburn, will be playing in the Singapore Cricket Club (SCC) Soccer 6s this weekend (18 & 19 May) at the Padang. Well, we have incredible news - the organisers have granted us an exclusive Q&A session with Nigel Winterburn himself!

So here's what you need to do:
1) turn up at the Padang by 12.30pm on Sat, 18 May (in your Arsenal home kit, preferably)
2) sit together with the other Singapore Gooners in the stands (you will spot us)
3) Q&A will start promptly at 1pm (Nigel himself will be around the Padang from 12.30pm)
To facilitate the Q&A, please email your questions to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . We will get the man to answer as many as possible. I personally want to ask him how does it feel to win more league titles than sp*rs...

Nigel will be playing a match after the Q&A session and there will be a quick meet & greet session with him after his game. So you could grab an autograph or two from him.

And on Sunday, Nigel will be moving about in the stands. There won't be an official Arsenal Singapore event but if you can catch him, you can ask him for a picture or buy him cold one!

This is a very rare opportunity to meet our legendary left back. Be at the Padang this weekend or you will be kicking yourself for missing out!

Newcastle United vs Arsenal
This game is the Cup Final for us!

If you're one of those who say 4th spot isn't a 'trophy' to fight for, ask yourself this - why were you so tense before the Wigan game? It is precisely this reason why all of us will be a nervous wreck going into this last game. The equation is easy.
Lose or draw, we could very well be playing in the Europa League next season.
Win, we will play in the Champions League and celebrate St Totteringham's Day.

So we are only looking for a win to be certain. You're a Gooner so you know the importance of this game. Join us at Modesto's Elizabeth on Sun, 19 May, for this exciting live game. KO is at 11pm. Let's get behind the Gunners and more importantly, let's win this!

Arsenal Singapore Membership
We will receive your sign ups and renewals from 9pm before the Newcastle game. The renewal gift for current members of an exclusive Arsenal Singapore toiletries bag is ready for collection! For those who have yet to collect your BAGBAR tee, you can do so this Sunday.
