Happy for you and, over 120 min you edged it.

But you were rubbish for 30 minutes, the media were soooo up your ass, and your lot were flopping and diving and asking for cards to be given, so there was a sense of reaching for the underdogs.

Blame Clive Tyldesly and, especially and, Andy Townsend.

I didn't see any flopping about and diving? :conf: I think we had several decent penalty shouts ignored and the ref and lino's had a poor game giving dodgy decisions both ways. Not disagreeing we were rubbish for half an hour though, ten minutes in and I was NOT a happy bunny.

Theree was a handball that could hve been given, otherwise a lot of "flopping about and diving" was to be had.

Or we were cynically cut down in the area by dirty Hull players but an incompetent referee bottled out of making important decisions in the biggest match of his life ;)

You see, only Arsenal fans, Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend (ad infinitum) saw it like that.

To be fair I don't think any of them were nailed on pens but I have certainly seen plenty of similar given. If I wasn't a gooner I would feel a bit sad for Hull, 2-0 up to lose 3-2 but actually it's been so bloody long since we won anything that I'm not that bothered ;)

Tbf I thought that it was one of the most entertaining finals in years, with Hull playing a far bigger part than I thought possible. Their fans must be so gutted today.

Struggled to beat a team that finished below them with a fraction of the budget.

Going on about this being a spring board to now piss everything.

What a fantastic achievement after 10 years of big spending.

Deluded.
