The FA Cup Final: The Arsenal v A.Villa

[Bradywasking]

Agbonlahor should have had a penalty from Coquelin's late lunge, otherwise Coquelin and Cazorla made Delph and Grealish seem anonymous.

The foul was outside the box, probably should've had one when Grealish was pulled down though.

If you look at the replay Bellerin fouled Grealish off the pitch , cannot be a penalty if it is not in the area surely.. ?

[TeeCee]

Simply superb!

[Gunnersaurus]

A perfect display, a great day out, much rather watch a final like that than last year.

that grealish/belerin tackle got me thinking too,grealish body was leaning into the box so strictly speaking he was in the box but like you said what would happen if all of him had been out of the box,what do the rules say,it couldn't have been a pen surely??anybody know??

[Arsenal Till I Die]

My voicebox is fucked but it is worth it!

Watched the game in the Arsenal Tavern, what an atmosphere! Great day, great game!

WE'VE DONE IT AGAIN, WE'VE DONE IT AGAIAAAIN! FA CUP WINNERS, WE'VE DONE IT AGAIN!!!

[GranadaJoe]

Could we ban any reference to 'Villa should have had a penalty' for a couple of days at least?

It just shows how shit they were that all fans and pundits alike can talk about are two borderline shouts.

I saw on at least two occasions our players having their shirts pulled over their heads in the Villa box at set pieces. Not mentioned by anybody because we were winning.

We were excellent, Agent Tim's Villa were shit.

4 - 0.

End of.

[arseofacrow]

Well done Arsenal, well done Arsene.

[armchair]

What a day! What a night!
My head is absolutely aching.

Happy for Theo. Gets a bit too much stick I feel and was not "annonymous". He was making runs and occupying defenders all game, leaving gaps for Ramsey and Sanchez
Bellerin was solid as a rock, fast and he too kept their defenders occupied.
Ozil excellent and for me Cazorla was motm by a mile. Started everything off and ran the whole show.
The team as a whole were magnificent. Great to see it. Though Villa didnt turn up at all.

We should have had a pen too I believe. Need to see it but didnt Hutton handle in the box?

Special mention for Wenger who got it all right. Players were motivated, Theo starting, even Chesney was a good decision.
He was dignified after the game too. He gets lots lots of stick so its only right that he gets praised when it comes off.

Does anyone know much about bellerin's contract situation?

[Lee1]

Don't give a shit today about any side issues......I am hanging this morning and delighted. Ooh to be a....... Fucking fantastic. Enough for me today if I can sober up enough for work tomorrow

[Lee1]

They were absolutely dreadful today. I'll take nothing away from the Arsenal players as they were at the top of their game and fully deserved to win but their fans have got to be the worst in the league. Not only did we out-sing them practically all game but quite a lot of their "fans" left way before the trophy presentation, some even before FT by the looks of it.



It's actually pissed me off almost as much as the result.

Oh just fuck off you midlands inbred.......ooh to be a.....

[Eboue-Why?]

Just the perfect day out. Thank you Arsenal.

But...........and there's always a but, I cannot believe that some of our fans left before the end.
Some bloke walked past me and I said 'Please tell me you're not fucking leaving?'
No answer, just a sheepish look at the floor. And even those leaving between the end of the game and the trophy presentation need a check up from the neck up. Inexcusable

The noise when Theo hit the back of the net will stay with me for a long long time.

Hungover but feeling fucking brilliant

[Eboue-Why?]

Dunno if it's been mentioned elsewhere but I wonder if he would have given a penalty on Koscielny had the BFG's header not gone in?
So funny seeing the way his shirt was over his head as the ball went in!

[flash gunner]

What a fucking performance

Best cup final performance I've ever seen. It's normally a tight game even if the two teams are from opposite ends of the table but yesterday was outstanding we didn't allow them to play, hassled and harried them for everything and then did our own thing when we had the ball.

I'm so happy this morning gonna watch it again soon Mrs Flash will be happy

[SteveO 35]

Just woken up and can't remember going to bed......the bottle of gin I bought yesterday is empty and I feel like shit.....but...

That's what the magic of the cup means to me !

THE best display at Wembley in the history of the club IMO
