Has kolo stolen his brothers shirt
Society is now one polished horde
Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.
"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
How long did you want?!
Actually a decent first half this one.
Really?...I must have been on the Bus home when all the exciting things happenedOriginally Posted by Rors
Then again our last three fa cup wins were pretty turgid affairs,
The 2002 final was only memorable for the two goals
The less said about the 2003 final the better
The 2005 final was one-way traffic but still we won
In fact i'll double-down and say there hasn't been a decent FA cup final involving Arsenal in my lifetime (i was born in 1983 four years after the five minute final)
The sheffield wednesday game and the subsequent replay were attritional....says something when Mark Bright was probably the best player on the pitch in the second game.
The Newcastle final was over before it began.
The Arsenal-Liverpool final of 2001 was a good match but we lost that so i don't remember that one.
It was fine. Nothing earth-shattering, but no 2000 - the touchstone for all dire finals.
Most FA Cup finals are complete washouts to be fair, there hasn't even been a shock winner since 1995 and franky the whole competition has been devalued. The big teams only take it seriously when there is nothing else to go for that's why there has only been one double winner in the past ten years.
Okay Roy, "excellent" is pushing it.
