Love the fact that he doesn't give a shite about trying to get his mashed nose fixed. Tidy wife too.

I reckon the Hull players threw the game when they realised they might have to give Brucie the bumps

Wish Mrs Doubtfire wouldn't complain about decisions, I think overall in the game he got the majority. Keep your dignity Sir.
Agreed. Arsenal could have been awarded two or three spot-kicks in the second half. Arsenal were fortunate with the corner being awarded before they scored their equalizer, but that was definitely a foul on Cazorla which led to his goal.

Shock horror. High spending club Arsenal with colossal player payroll budget giving them a squad full of internationals, ultimately overcomes comparatively small club. With the silverware heading to the club that got lucky with home draws in the earlier rounds. Other than the odd rare shock like B'ham beating Arsenal in the LCF, in modern £ football, the better squad when it comes to the business end of the season, takes the prizes. Ironically, Wenger himself has identified a variation on this this, countless times, with his anger at Chelski and ManC, previously mid-sized clubs at most going nowhere fast, usurping the likes on Arsenal due to better quality squads built on £.

Yeah, they had an easy route to the final. Home draws against the easy pickings of Spurs, Liverpool and Everton. Apart from the Ozil signing they've hardly over-spent compared to some of the other champions league teams. I heard someone in the media earlier mention Arsenal's net spend since moving to the Emirates being 8 million pounds so...

Yes - glad you brought that up seeing Arse never left London Perhaps Hull won it on away goals then?

I watched it on BT, they wrre very anti-Arsenal, I'm neutral, but all on there were anything but.
