Category 1 Academy standard for diving. No doubt Zaha is doing a 'platoon' pose in sympathy.

Some of the Arsenal fans need to eat humble pie. They don't know how lucky they are.

Does Koscielny have a full kit on under that suit?

One of the best cup finals I've ever watched,end to end drama, the game had everything and even the underdog won
Played out in a sun soaked Wembley, felt like a great sporting occasion had returned to its full glory
Watched in bar while on holiday in Torquay, over a hundred people watching, and have to say I can't remember a more quiet and respectful minutes silence from inside Wembley and inside a pub as at 5:30 yesterday in respect to the Manchester victims
As Glenn Hoddle said and I quote " that's the best minutes silence I've ever heard"

The burnham beeches hotel was the usual one, its where the National team used to stay as quiet secluded and golf course next door. Cov stayed in Marlow, The Complete Angler I think. Sure Dave Beasant or someone swam across the Thames after a little too much to drink during their celebrations. Or a fan did to join the party. Something like that anyway! Crazy days.

Thanks for this, some great memories and even a Coleman Balls! Terrific stuff, sadly so much football today doesn't make the Cup special anymore.

Shame isn't it. Not too long ago there was a group of us who would hold a Cup Final day booze up. Each year it would take place at a different friend's house. The timetable of events consisted of :
12.00 - 2.40 p.m. - Pub
2.40 - 2.50 p.m. - Stagger back to allotted friend's house
2.51 p.m. - Open up a variety of cans and bottles of any alcoholic description
2.55 p.m. - A sweepstake would take place for i) Winning team and result. ii) Name of player scoring winning goal. iii) First person to fall asleep in front of TV. *
* The record for this (in)activity is held at 7 minutes from kick off!
3.00 p.m. - Watch the match and top up booze as required
3.45 p.m. - Break for halftime with French bread and various cheeses, pies etc. Start on the wine, continue with beers
4.00 p.m. - Second half. Slurring in the ranks as booze takes hold
4.50 p.m. - Results of sweepstake are announced
5.00 p.m. - Retire to pub (or a bit later if extra time)
6.00 p.m. onwards - Can't remember!

Like others have said that's the first Cup Final Ive watched for a few years and I enjoyed it. Pleased Arsenal won in the end, Wenger has taken enough crap from some Arsenal fans.
But I used to enjoy the old Cup Finals in the days before substitutes when the goalie would break his leg (or his neck in the case of Bert Trautman) and play the last 30 minutes of the game hanging around at outside right.
Real footballers in them days.

Didn't the Wigan Chairman, Dave Whelan, once break his leg in a Cup Final. I think he did, but, he never, ever mentions it

Was perplexed by 5.30 kickoff, rather than 'traditional' 3pm..
But then global warming, innit..
