Really enjoyable cup final for a neutral fan and an excellent advert for English football. A bit of drama, sending off, 2 goals in a minute, end to end for the last half hour. Arsenal deserved to win in the end but made bloody hard work of it missing a shedload of opportunities to wrap it up.
Thanks for the logic @vff.Still think my dad will be turning in his grave.
Then again, he was cremated so maybe he will forgive me.
Great final. Just a shame about Murphy.
Want to like / laugh at that comment at same time @Weegie Addick . Sure your dad understands.
Agree on Murphy. Terrible commentary, like he was such a great player, with all the criticism of what the players should & shouldn't be doing.
Good final & even better for Chelsea losing.
I switched over from bt sport to BBC and caught some of his wisdom "some players have good games some players have bad ones". If anyone will be turning in their grave it's Kenneth Wolstenholme.
Delighted for Arsenal, far and away the better side on the day. Had they won 6 - 1 Chelsea could not have complained. Didn't think the first goal should have been allowed though ................
Really entertaining game. The first Cup Final I have watched for many years when I haven't been flicking around or putting teletext on. (Yup, I still look at it!)
Wouldn't it be nice if we could somehow fluke our way to a Wembley Cup final. Sadly, I suspect it's never going to happen in my lifetime.
So who won the goal of the cup? Nice to see Coombes/Welling in at number one.
Was Matic's goal in the Semi-Final of course... What they fail to realise is the goals from Coombes / Morgan (Curzon Ashton) are just as good (if not better) because they've been scored by players who are worth about 0.1% of the value of the Premier League players in the same goal competition
Just finished watching it... What a game... I was out all day with err indoors but had to watch the mighty celts first. Both great finals. Arsenal deserved it.
I have an Arsenal supporting mate who has been telling me he has been boycotting all season because he is so against Wenger. Managed to get a ticket for the final though and text me to say how happy he is they won but still wants Wenger out. I do wonder if Arsenal have missed his customer from his self imposed boycott as he used to average at least 2 games a season before that !
I actually aphave a fair few Arsenal mates and always grates when I am in the pub and they harp on about what a tough time it is for The Arsenal.
