cidered abroad Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 The best final I've seen in a long time. Don't have any affection for either side but the best team on the day was Arsenal who pressed very well and some of the first time passing was excellent. If only we could see City playing like that.

A very enjoyable game. Unlike you I really wanted Arsenal to win. They've been my second team since the days of Jim Furnell and John Radford.

Bloody brilliant game reminiscent of the premier league heyday. Up there with Arsenal 3 Man Utd 2 when Alan Sunderland blitzed down the wing to slice home a 90th minute winner after the Gooners had been 2 up with about 10 to play. .. Its the first time an FA Cup final has been thought of in the same breath as that one for me. Tremendous. 9 hours ago, Robbored said: A very enjoyable game. Unlike you I really wanted Arsenal to win.

As uniform and plastic as one can imagine. Not a single bed sheet made up with slogans by a spotty kid or anything that I could see. No tears at full time. No sense of history. As a football match it was very good, FA Cup or any other. Minus the dozens of counts of cheating, of course. And I have no idea why they wear shin pads. To watch the game they appear to have no effect in protecting the shins. You don't even have to make contact to cause severe pain through them. Ban them I say. They're useless.

Fordy62 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Brilliant game and really chuffed Arsenal did it. I don't buy into the Wenger out business. It's disrespectful and classless. He's done so much for them. If he leaves I hope they nose dive and if he stays i hope he goes big in the transfer market. He's a great manager and I don't think we'll see his level of commitment to a club for a long long time. Well, not until we're playing the the conference south anyway!

Maybe if it had been their first win it would have improved it. The pundits couldn't stop talking about their disappointing season, missing the top four....

His BT SPORT interview was very enlightening about the years 06-14. Said he wouldn't do those again. Huge financial restrictions and didn't seem to enjoy it much. Came across as "the public have no idea what I've had to put up with behind the scenes." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
