SuperMikey Posted 27 February, 2011 Share Posted 27 February, 2011 Birmingham deserved to win - should have had a penalty early on in the first half after Bowyer was (incorrectly) called offside and then brought down by the keeper. What a horrible goal to concede by Arsenal though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Shango Posted 27 February, 2011 Share Posted 27 February, 2011 Did anyone watch Sky's coverage? Paul Merson was even more unbearable than usual. He said after the game Arsenal shouldn't sign players from France, Holland and Belgium because their leagues are rubbish (Brilliant logic) and sign more English players (With England winning World Cup's time and again of course). This is the same man who loaned Scott Dann to Redditch when he was at Walsall because he thought he wasn't good enough. Today he was on the winning side. Absolute xenophobic tripe. Jamie Redknapp wasn't much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rut Posted 27 February, 2011 Share Posted 27 February, 2011 The ironic thing being that IF justice had been done early on (Brum pen and Arsenal down to 10 men) then who knows - Arsenal could have won. More importantly we'd have been deprived of one of the best Cup Final moments since Bobby Stokes. Commentator here said 'nobody likes to see a Cup Final won by a mistake'. Umm? Yes we do. 'you have to feel sorry for these Arsenal fans' (as the camera shows some of them crying). Umm? No we don't (as I'm rolling around the floor p****sing myself laughing at them!). Best Cup Final for ages. Really enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 27 February, 2011 Share Posted 27 February, 2011 Strip away the winning moment and still it could be argued that Birmingham deserved the trophy more then Arsenal. Yes Foster kept Arsenal at bay when they had their tails up for a time but Birmingham created the clearer chances. Bowyer should have had a penalty. Zigic should have made it 2-0. Larsson just missed out on the same thing by mere millimeters with his effort from a blocked shot. The bluenoses truly deserved it. Yet it will be remembered for an Arsenal blunder. That is a crying shame (particularly for those arrogant bloody gooners who felt they had a right to that trophy. HA!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a crying shame (particularly for those arrogant bloody gooners who felt they had a right to that trophy. HA!) No it's not. That will get replayed time and time again. An 89th minute Arsenal defensive grade one f***** up in a 1-1 Cup Final is a joy to behold. I bet there will be T-shirts already coming hot of the presses of those 2 Arsenal w****kers on the ground together head-in-hands. Half of Bham will be wearing one tomorrow. Way more than if Bham had just scored a 'normal' goal in the 89th min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 27 February, 2011 Share Posted 27 February, 2011 And Fahey hit the post. Absolutely! Fair play to the Brummies. Results like that should give hope to clubs like us who are arguably bigger then them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 27 February, 2011 Share Posted 27 February, 2011 Good stuff, that'll teach them (the gooners and their fans) for being so ****ing arrogant with their half-hearted "meh, it's only the FA Cup" when they beat us in the final in 03, they've barely won a trophy since...

Lighthouse Posted 27 February, 2011 Share Posted 27 February, 2011 I told a colleague yesterday to bet his house on an Arse win. I thought after 7 years (I think) without any silverwear, they'd be fired up for this and dispatch Brum with boring ease. Brilliant result.

Saint137 Posted 28 February, 2011 Share Posted 28 February, 2011 Love this from the Guardian report on the game... "Yet they should have been a goal, and a man, down after two minutes, when a fine pass from Keith Fahey found Nikola Zigic. The angular 6ft 7in Serb, whose control with his feet is customarily wayward enough to make Peter Crouch look like Alfredo di Stefano..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisobee Posted 28 February, 2011 Share Posted 28 February, 2011 Good to see Arsenal taking defeat with good grace as usual jack_wilshere Jack Wilshere Well done to the BCFC player who slapped Koscielny on the head when they scored, very big of you!

thesaint sfc Posted 28 February, 2011 Share Posted 28 February, 2011 Wish I'd put some money on this. I've seen the arse play brum a few times and it has never been an easy game for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
