Agree with the goalkeeping point, and I would have brought on Vicente instead of CMS but yes, we could hold our heads up high today.
Quite right.

I think we were unlucky with injuries too. Only one tactical sub made a difference. I am sure Vicente would have come on otherwise and then who knows what might have been?

Yep I would have expected too see Vicente on if not for the Greer injury but still, we needed to win the battle in midfield and someone like him can unlock a defence with ease, CMS was never gonna see much of the ball because he needs it played to him really. Can't complain though, great performance.
Other than i thought Ankegren did well considering the game and lack of match time i agree. I thought it was more like a friendly we can take experience from. The cup isn't going to be ours to try new things and we proved that we have players capable of playing and winning in the premiership. Bridcutt was winning headers against everyone! Vicente could have done more than CMS probably in that situation but at the end of the day went home happy. Scored two headers and one from a corner, now when does that ever happen? Ulloa had the debut i hoped he would, that made my day alone.

I went home frustrated with Poyet's keeper selection. Reading the programme, Kuszczak really wanted to play and we all wanted him to play. Surely the keeper is statistically less likely to get injured than outfield players? Good job the Bradford Manager selected a full strength side against premiership opposition.
Deffo, one of the best AMEX Albion performances.
Are there 6 better teams than us, in this division?

It's not about getting injured, it's about keeping up moral in the ranks.

A little frustrated about Kuszczak, as he would definitely not have conceded the winner, probably would have been quicker to block the second, and might have got nearer the first.
But overall many, many positives in a cracking old-school FA Cup tie with both teams going at it to win the game throughout., and I too felt very proud on the way home.
LOVED the Ulloa goal, if only we'd had him 18 months ago. Understandably ran out of puff, but he's going to be class. Good to hear Liam Brady at h/t, and the record crowd was in fine voice.
I'll even give some credit to Wenger, he didn't want a replay and brought on Walcott and Wilshere to win the game. They made a big difference.

I started to get a bit emotional after our first goal.
It all got a bit too much for me

Absolutely agree. Players all played their socks off, couldn't really have asked any more of them.

We forced Arsenal to bring on their best players to win it. Excellent.
I think with Ulloa we are going to be a different team. The RIGHT player of that type (which he looks like ie. the absolute f***ing business) adds a total different dimension to our play and also even to teams preparation. They can't say 'they don't have an outlet long etc so do whatever etc blah' basically other teams are f***ed now.

How does that help Kuszczak's morale?

Thought we might get tonked and in the end it was a fairly evenly matched game. PIG might have made the difference but I am still deeply proud. I love my club.
