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 :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:
Watching TV I thought I was seeing things but there were a few empty seats together in the Arsenal end between full time and presentation..Not many I must say..but it looked odd.

It's time for England's cricketers to provide me with frustration and anxiety for a couple of months instead :barscarf:

should be in the very premature Community shield thread

As I have only really just sobered up after yesterday.... may I just say A BIG WELL DONE TO THE ARSENAL!!
The best I have seen them play for a long,long time. A real top performance and our big players turned up on the big day, and for once I will say... there's only one got his tactics spot on. :shock:
Still buzzing... :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

That was the most relaxing Final I think I've watched - totally outclassed them and never in doubt. Congrats to the all!

I said already that I too would have picked wally at centre forward on Saturday (best option from poor choices) because wemberley is too big of a pitch for an immobile centre forward. That being said I absolutely dispute the notion that wally played well at centre forward -
at centre forward he had 2 great chances and 1 good chance, and he fcuked up all 3
when he moved to the left wing he had 1 hard chance and he buried it......with his left foot :shock:

People look at the fact that he started centre forward and scored a goal, but they fail to recognise that he wasn't playing centre forward when he scored it. He was moved to what I would consider his natural position on the wing (albeit the left side instead of the right) and if he had of been centre forward at that time we wouldn't have scored the goal cos he certainly wouldn't have won the header that sanchez did to set him up 8) I also think that the fans are looking at his hat-trick against a shit baggies team when analysing his performance on Saturday, instead of looking at his 1 goal from 4/5 chances ratio - wally will never be a natural striker imo and certainly not in a lone striker roll, and if the victims coughed up 25m in the summer then I would still sell him

Fantastic performance, fanstastic atmosphere ; great to see so many fans wearing yellow in our end.

The celebrations when Theo smahed that one into the corner out our end were absolutely mental

the only reason I wouldnt let him got to Liverpool is that we would get Sterling in exchange - I would much rather keep Walcott tbh
