Holding is gonna go full Steve Bould before long.

Yep, still 2-1 - we definitely won the cupAgain, Auba.
Arsenal are back
There are days as a football fan where you just feel at ease and at peace with the world. This is one of those days, I was very close to welling up at the final whistle.
Arsenal
Will the FA correct the record now. Or do we have to hire a lawyer?
Make 2mrw better than 2day
Please stay Auba.
Just shows what having a striker like that can do in these games of fine margins. Makes all the difference.
We won the cup, we won the cup, e-i-adio we won the cup!

Micky Tets is magic, he wears a magic hat, and when he saw the FA Cup, he said I’m having that!

Really interesting reading what the players have been saying - there’s been a general feeling that these players were uncoachable and would simply down tools or go on strike if we actually made them work for their money, but they’re fucking loving it! They love the discipline and the correction and the clear direction, and they’re loving feeling and acting like professionals again.
I really feel that this is vindication for what Arteta has been trying to do in terms of resetting the culture at this club. We now have players literally in tears because of what representing this club means to them. Loanees and players who had one foot out the door in January throwing themselves in front of shots. No-hopers and utility players doing a solid job wherever they’re played. It’s shame there’s still a couple of hold-outs - we could have really done with a fired-up Özil and a more professional Guendouzi - but that’s on them. As Arseblog says, look at Ainsley, who looked like he’d been frozen out for being late to training, and who swallowed his pride and got his head down and worked - who’s got a medal this morning and who hasn’t?
Until we’d sorted the culture out there was literally no point in signing anyone to improve the team - the casual, unprofessional and ultimately toxic atmosphere would have ruined anyone we’d recruited. Now, we can bring new players into this club and they’ll immediately know what is required of them - the manager will enforce it and the other players will enforce it. They won’t walk in and see Mesut Özil sitting around, doing fuck all for £18m a year and think that’s ok. We can build on this.
