As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
That was unbelievamazing. The fact that we came back from 2-0 down will make watching it again in years to come even sweeter! I was a bit emotional when Arsene lifted the trophy, I hope he stays.
Just going to watch the highlights once more before I go to sleep.
I don't want to be negative, so im not going to mention Wenger. I think the players deserve credit for today, they stuck at it when things were going against them, especially a prick of a referee, who seemed intent on ignoring blatantly obvious penalty decisions. As a fan it means everything to see the club finally amongst the trophies again, and hopefully this starts a winning period for the club. proud to be a gooner tonight.

Thanks mate - had to wear gloves in the second half as I would have kept chewing up to my elbows. Maybe that's what us Old 60's Gooners do !. John Radford in for Giroooo and we would have won by six. Still watching the reply again. Great result. Sucked in Huddlescum !!.
Just got back from a night on the piss with my mates, and have had a pretty good night.
Yes, we were shite during vital parts of that game, but I have to say it was very touching to see the team lift a trophy. I hope that this inspires the board/manager to buy some genuine quality in the summer.
Can't even remember going to bed. Pissed as a parrot - thought I would have a nice couple of gentle beers at the start of the match and turned to the gin and tonics after 8 minutes
Thank fuck for that - what a fantastic day. Off to Islington for the parade today
Watched it in the Halfway House on the Blackstock road. Packed as fuck, great atmosphere, buy the end not one person wasn't covered in beer by the end!
Steve Bruces post match interview was total toilet have to say, utterly utterly ungracious. Hes learnt from Ferguscum thats for sure and his face is getting redder than Ferguscums nose. I did wonder but realise its not from overdoing it in The Phil Browns suntan stand which is round the back of their stadium, but could have more to do with Quaffing claret.
He felt both our goals shouldnt have counted. Completely ignored TWO blatent penalties against Santi who isnt a diver, as well as the free kick foreward movement which nearly came as far as the goal line.
He also ignored the fact that their pressing game that we knew would be coming petered out till the last 3 minutes and if he had been able to continue with that he would have won.
If they had playing Liverpool instead of us, they'd have had at least 2 penalties given against them. I usually don't mind Bruce and he's normally quite complimentary towards Arsenal so I think he was just fucking gutted and can't blame him really.
