What a great final, brilliant to watch. Fantastic win against all odds. Tactical Masterpiece 8)
Was really surprised how Arsenal didn't sit back but pushed forward from the beginning. Could, no, should have been 3 - 0 up after half an hour. Nice to see Arsenal instantly overcame the shock of their equaliser and responded with a quick goal to silence their crowd and virtually end their hopes.

The German Commentator said something along the line: "Somehow Wenger belongs to Arsenal, like The Queen belongs to England" :wink:

AW should take the chance to go now and end his reign with some respect and dignity.

For me it would be nice to get some Wembley competitive practice before the PL starts and so if Chelski win we play them in the community shield. So it has to be Chelsea. But perhaps some out til xmas injuries for Hazard, Sanchez and Kante wouldn't be a terible thing.....

:roll: Nice people!... :mrgreen:

I feared the worst leading up to it. I'm so happy and relieved that we won it. We outplayed Chelsea from start to finish. :barscarf:

Drunk as a fucking skunk.....what a day....what a fucking day :barscarf:

Listen I gotta man up and admit I was wrong. What a performance from the BFG. To produce that level of performance in his first start in 13 months is an absolute credit to his professionalism. Today isn't the day to go into his flaws just a day to state that he was immense yesterday.

Same goes for Rob Holding, completely unfazed by the occasion and the way he confronted Costa was old school Arsenal.

Yesterday was what it's all about. An absolute shit, nightmare of a season, a year where you ask yourself why the fuck do I allow this lot to torture me 7 days a week. Yesterday was for us, the fans. A beautiful day, a beautiful performance.

Fuck the chavs, fuck the potless scum, fuck em all.

COZ WE ARE THE ARSENAL AND WE ARE THE BEAT WE ARSE ARSENAL SO FUCK ALL THE REST :barscarf:

I was dreading the game. I thought we could be battered off the pitch and lose 3-1/3-0.....Boy, was I pleasantly surprised.

This is what we want to see; players fighting for the ball, throwing bodies towards the oppo players, pressing forward with a desire to win. It's a performance that we have been longing for for an extremely long time. We deserved to win yesterday, we outplayed the league champions in all areas of the pitch and we couldn't be faulted.

Shout out to Mertesacker, a player which I can't stand to see in our colours, who had a world class performance yesterday. A calming figure at the back; he timed his tackles to perfection, he kept Costa quiet (aside the goal) and seemed to work well with Holding and Monreal.

WE KNOW WHO WE ARE, WE KNOW WHO WE AREEEEE! LONDON'S MOST SUCCESSFUL TEAM, WE KNOW WHO WE ARE! :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

Took a hammering on Twitter this morning for daring to interupt a Wenger love in by simply asking where was that performance all season..

Its a perfectly valid question and one Wenger and the players should be made to answer until they admit they have been short-changing us season after season. The euphoria shouldnt be allowed to mask that fact but they will be allowed to hide behind it.

People who say just shut up and enjoy it are part of the reason we'll be shortchanged again next season ....

The Twitter conversation (is that what it is called?) began with a photo of Wenger with the Cup and asking the question what do the WOB think of that ? That was setting an agenda in my opinion..Yet I was told to get a life and get over my agenda for daring to ask the question on the level of performance yesterday compared to the full season.
And as Clash says there in lies the problem..It also seems that if you are not 100% pro Wenger you are not entitled to celebrate.

Ohhhh ! Fuck I am soooo hung-over...On the Snake-bites (Brains Skull Attack & Cider) - then went for a chinese (I htink)..Ended up in a casino at 3am off my chunk - remember preparing to say goodbye to the last of my money then hit black jack - GET INNN THERE! Keerrr fuckkin Chinggg! Not only did we WIN! (I am still pinching myself) But I am £200 up! :barscarf:

Jeeeezzzzuss I am tempted to start drinking again to put the inevitable up-chuck marathon off till tomorrow....


Like so many others I am Immensely proud of the Team - They gave everything and Won it.

Mert was Immense and Holding if he continues in this fashion has a HUGE Future - For such a young man to get right in the face and head of the Elephant Man from the kick-off was particularly pleasing - You could see the elephant man 'knew' he was not going to be able to goad him....and Monreal was like a Vice -Captain organising and running his guts out - the back three putting in great tackles & blocks - Real Passion...and Alexis - I LOVE Him! :cheekkiss: :oops: - Even Ozil (apart from the time they scored put in a shift) and once again Ramsey stepped up to hit the winner. :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

OOOOH! TO BE OOOOH! TO BE A GOONER!
