Hey ho thats football - would of loved to win it but maybe we are destined for bigger tings

:cry:
I dont think we made foster work enough. He had a decent game but didn't really have all that much to do IMO. We were outplayed by Brum beginning to end. They shouldve had a penalty, hit the post, scored two goals. Better team won. that's whats embarrassing.
I dunno, I think over all we were as good as them but we just didn't finish our chances and the final ball (especially from Sicknote) was lacking too often. But that is typical of this team.

Song was a disgrace. He really is a bottler in the big games. Rosicky is just not technically gifted enough to play that role.

I know it's "only" the CC but it is indicitive of this Arsenal team that they can't beat shite like Brum. Manure or the Chavs would have put 3 or 4 past that Brum side today.

Absolutely.......you and me have been 2 of the few that have being saying how average song is and today epitomised that and especially when their south american sumo wrestler sub danced by him not 5 mins after coming on :roll: :oops:

I am not his biggest fan but the rosicky bashing is slightly out of order today - if nasri had turned in his performance today many of ye would be wanking yourselves silly over it :roll: I thought nasri was woeful today and along with song, djouru and sagna he was our worst performers :(

Chamakh isn't. Bendtner isnt. Nasri isnt. Cesc isnt.
Cesc IS a match winner as is Nasri.

I'm from the school of thought that the keeper controls the box, mate. He has to be loud and come get it, let the defender know to leave it. Basic stuff for me.

It's just typical though that we lose to a stupid mistake like that. And as mentioned, Arsenal post-Cesc is not a pleasant thought...
:(
Thats exactly what he did, shame kos decided to get in the way and fuck about like a clown in place of denilson :roll:
I dunno, looked to me like Chezny hesitated and Kos felt it best to try and just clear the lines. Ultimately they were both shit for the goal...

Didn't even see the goal. Switched off once the ball fell to Martins.

They were both at fault but if Koscielny had just put his foot through it then we would've been fine.

Hard to pass judgement on their winner without knowing what kinda call, if any, Szczesny gave. If he didn't shout then I don't care if Kos puts his foot through Wojciech's cheekbone, get that fucking ball out of play...

Said it before the game that i had a bad feeling about this one. Losing Cesc and Theo cost us big time. The fact that the players couldnt get up to win this final agaisnt a poor team lets be honest is embarrasing. Im just worried where the season goes from here this could affect us big time like the defeat at OT to end the unbeaten run :cry:
