As much as I dislike Birmingham, they deserved it.

They should have won by 5 and we should have had the keeper sent off after 3 minutes. Chokers to a man.

Congratulations to Birmingham, deserved it on the day and for all people go on about Arsenal's trophy "drought", it's nothing like as long as theirs was so, even though the result has just made it less likely that SAFC will qualify for Europe, I was slightly pleased to see some lads get to celebrate something they have waited their whole life for

The decisions went our way most of the match, especially the first one.
I felt something like that was on the cards at the end.

Really we didnt outplay them or anything, they deserved the glory as much as we would have.

Yeah I'm happy for them, admittedly. Hate to be at the expense of Arsenal, but they played hard throughout the CC and they earned it.

We basically handed the cup to them on a plate.

I know they're a 'small' club etc but their players' celebration at the final whistle - you'd think they were poor kids who had just come across some food. :lol:
(I guess thats the winner in them?)

Either way, well played Brum scum.

I know its a horrible clichy (see what I did there :twisted: ) but they wanted it more than our lads.

well done brum but not their fans though. What is it about teams from the midlands? Before the game they were wondering around wembley hunting gooners in packs. I saw them steam into a group of gooners on 2 occasions. and when we were walking up wembley way they were pelting us with beer cans and bottles even before a football was kicked. Nice one lads you morans

Hopefully we'll meet them again at Wembley this season (they're still in the FA Cup) and right yesterday's wrongs. I wouldn't count on us doing so though.
