If Wenker is a successful manager he will equal the number of wins as manager with 5 (Fergie)
No Arsenal player has (yet) scored more than 2 goals in Cup Final's - Ljungberg, Wright, and Reg Lewis
My record is pretty damn good, with 4/5 wins, so fingers crossed I get sorted eh
v Sheff Weds 1993 + Replay
Hard to imagine now but Sheff Wed were actually pretty good back then and had a half tidy team, with Woods in goal, Sheridan, Waddle, Harks, etc. We had already beaten them in the Coca - Cola final (Carling now) and in the first game it was fairly even I recall, Wright scoring a header from an Andy Linighan assist.

Wednesday however found an equalizer with a deflected shot and we were back the following week for a replay, with plenty of empty seats in the Wednesday end.
Smith sets up Wright with a lovely through ball and the ball seemed to slow down to prevent Woods coming out to claim it and if you see it from behind Merson has his arms aloft in celebration before Wright tucks it home, so confident is he that Wright will do the job

Wednesday equalize again through Waddle but in injury time at the end of extra time up pops Andy Linighan to head home from a corner to win the cup for Arsenal

v Newcastle 1998
The cup final to complete "the double" against a Newcastle team, whose main threat was Alan Shearer and with us missing Bergkamp through injury. As I recall it was a relatively straight forward victory with Overmars putting us ahead from a Pettit chipped ball, Shearer missed one good chance after Keown messed up but Anelka used his lightening pace to clinch it.

v Scousers, Cardiff 2001
This was one of my most enjoyable finals, apart from the result, obviously, we had a stunning day weather wise, spent the night before at hotel in Cardiff and had after match hospitality (free beer !!) lined up. We pulverised the bindippers, missed loads of chances and then up popped Freddie - all was good until Owen robbed us blind with 2 goals in the last 5 mins

v Chelsea 2002
Another Cardiff final, this one more enjoyable against a decent Chelsea team that had our old boy Pettit playing for them - a fairly tense encounter was settles by two fantastic strikes, firstly by Parlour hitting home from 30 yards and then Ljungberg shrugging off Terry and finishing with a fantastic curled shot to seal the trophy and strangely the first part of another double with the title still to be decided. (keep an eye out for Dixon behind the goal celebrating)

V Southampton 2003
Our third cup final in a row, still at Cardiff.
Should have been straight forward but we made made hard work of it, creating few chances, till a good move with Henry, Bergkamp set Ljungberg up his blocked shot fell to Pires, who tucked home.

Didn't make the Utd final in 2005 although had a ticket lined up.

Over to you for your cup final memories
