Am I the only person who heard Szczesny scream "keeper" before Kos6 intercepted his "save" for their second goal?

PS: It was a bad mistake, but I'm not picking on him, SHIT HAPPENS.

No positives today.... Could be the springboard towards us having to settle once again for a CL spot next season rather than a real trophy......

Shit atmosphere, shit performance, shit team selection.

And Orient at home on Wednesday night not to look forward to...... :banghead: !

It's easy to blame Koscielny but he would have put that ball 60 yards out of the box had Szczesny not shouted. Kos visibly pulled out of the clearance, Szczesny didn't collect it cleanly, and Martins scored. Nobody likes to blame a young keeper with a huge future, but the fault was on WS53 today. For me, Kos didn't look bad today, did a tremendous job against Barcelona, and is still a decent player overall.

Confession to make lads .
My fault we lost the beer cup .
Let me explain . My eldest girl bought me a little pressie yesterday , a little novelty key ring except it was a pupkin head Voodoo doll thingie . Manky looking object but she gave it to me for good luck . What's a dad to do , bin it cos you're as superstitious as fuck and it looks hideous or embrace it and take it as good luck charm .
Should have fucked it to the side when my train coming through Gatwick
and all others gave in due to electrical problems . Whole system was down and for a while looked like me and hundreds of other Goooners might miss Kick off . Anyway , long story Arshavin short , got there and gave ' the Doll 'the benefit of the doubt .
Lets just say the said item is now under seat 176 , Row 20 , Block 506 :evil:
There it will remain with Glowing eyes waiting for the next unsuspecting footie fan to pick up and then see his/her team make a total fuck of a game against average opposition whilst it chuckles eviley to itself .

Sorry lads , Beers are on me .

It was only a matter of time really. Hopefully he'll learn from it though.

You can say "It's just the League Cup" if it helps you sleep better at night. But the fact of the fucking matter is that winners win, and losers don't. When Mike Dean blew his whistle three times, Arsenal had one beautiful world-class goal, Birmingham had two ugly ones...and a trophy.

I was down like everyone of you after Mike Dean blowed his whistle . Having started to support The Arsenal post invincibles , this is definitely just one of those games we dont turn up and also another game without cesc , its not that hard to predict really . Hope luck is on our side , rvp and cesc fit till may :barscarf: :barscarf:

im fucking furious about the final..... Wenger costs us it again!!! I dont blame Chesny or Koscielny they are both too inexperienced to play for Arsenal in a cup final and it showed.

It is Wengers refusal to buy experienced defensive players thathas come back to bite us on the arse yet again.

There's no point apportioning blame to the crowd or either Kos or Szszs - they'd been playing well up until then and everyone would have picked them as first choice. I suspect Kos was never meant to have this much game time but has because of Vermaelen's injury.

The only person to blame is the manager who sent them on the pitch to play with a total fear of losing rather than a winning mentality. The one who's built a team of young kids with no leaders and no experienced winners in the squad to look up to. The entire team played like they didnt want to fuck up and hence the inevitable major fuck up.
