Congratulations to Arsenal on their FA Cup win against Manchester United today. At least something's in the cup cupboard this season!

Yep...great to see the worst team win. 
Arsenal were chasing the game the whole way through. No way did they deserve to win. It was pure luck. The only chance they had was the shoot out.
I can't believe Arsenal fans can be proud of this win? Surely they won't look back on it with any pleasure? I mean, it was a game when they were second best. And they won it on the lottery of a penalty shoot out.
I may be a Man.U fan, but i admit Arsenal deserved to win the Premiership last season, so i'm not 100% biased. However, i was mad as hell yesterday. Because United were by far the best team.
I'll give credit were it's due. But it's not due here.

That's footy for you. Doesn't really matter who's playing better, it matters who scores more. \o/

My attitude is you take your wins and losses where you have them with grace. You win some, you lose some fairly or not. We lost the premiership rather than Man U winning it last season sure, but I don't see any Mancunians sobbing into their cereal over it. And I have certainly better things to do than cry foul over it. I'll say congratulations to you for last seaon out of courtesy whether you deserved it or not. Just like in 2001 final when we were walking over Liverpool and they sneaked a last minute. Bollocks happens, I don't hear any Liverpudlians screaming the game was a disgrace.
As far as Manchester United is concerned, they can keep their empty cabinet this season. If you support football then you take rough with the smooth without complaining you're hard done by when things don't go your way or proclaiming it was all your greatness when things do.
I think riding the high horse of the righteous is cute, but I'd rather see the positives in football than being cynical and negative about. Life's just too short and football really isn't that important...
Congratulations to Chelsea this season for being the best, commiserations to Manchester United for being second rate, and I'm sorry Arsenal had a collapse mid-season. Moving on to more important matters...

Arsenal are better than Man.U this season. They finished higher in the premiership, that's the ultimate test of who's better than who. There's no argument about it. ( see? i said i give credit where it's due. )
As a fan of Man.U i just felt robbed on Saturday when, on the day United were by far the better side, and totally outplayed Arsenal ( as they have every time they met this season, a win on Saturday would have made it four wins out of four against them this season in proper competitions. )
Call me old fashioned, but i don't feel the greatest domestic cup competition in the world should be settled without a replay. I'd have thought Arsenal would have rather won it by winning a game too? My post was mainly speaking about Arsenal fans being proud of their performance on saturday, and being proud of winning like they did. When clearly deep down they know they never deserved it.
Indeed, well done to Chelsea, they did well this season. Although i found them a bit boring to watch. A bit like Arsenal a few years back.

To all the bitter Man U fans. Just try and remember 2 things.
The first: Defending is a part of football too. Man U simply didn't manage to score on saturday. The only thing that matters in football is scoring more than the other team. Only the english think that dominating possetion makes you the better team.
Second: I'd rather be lucky than good.
Third: A replay just cheats all the fans who payed good money to go and see the final.
I know I said 2 things so pick your favourite 2 and remember them.

The final was the story of our whole season. We can create chances as well as anyone in the premiership and better than most but we cant finish for beans. Never mind, Salford Bay Buccaneers will get you all next season. *L*
