Shearer and that reading pubber in the pundit studio with Wrighty, literally had nothing good to say at all about Arsenal for the whole post match analysis.

Apparently we were dominated by reading and they deserved more from the game.

Watched the whole match and I can safely say they played really well, with conviction and defended as a unit while wiling to commit some bodies to attack. They're quality showed why they're 18th in the championship though.

Ramsey on the right caused us a problem in that it completely killed our outlet on the right and congested the middle, mainly because reading didn't sit as deep and try to defend their way through 120 minutes.

Despite this, the guy managed to hit that f***ing left post and have a glorious one v one amongst other chances. Could have walked away with a hatrick today.

Welbs needs to be careful with his career, he could be the next park chu young soon.

Giroud GOAT.

Szczesny haters are literally jumping on the hate train at the moment, it's ridiculous. He couldn't do much about the goal, the deflection kicked the ball back up in the direction he was flying from, he hardly had a chance to get a hand to it.

Rest of the game he was bang on. Still, people need a villain so I guess he'll do.

Can see why people were giving caz 5s and others were giving him 7s. He lost possession a number of times through procrastination and put us under pressure, but then he played some balls over that were soon f***ing quality it hurt (there was one that dropped to sanchez foot in the box with keeper and 2 defenders flanking that was literally perfect).

Gibbs and Debuchy looked rusty as hell which is to be expected, but some of the mistakes were elementary level.

Re coq - he struggled at times today surprisingly, but then he did have to cover some big mistakes from others. Some were simply just him losing concentration. Still made some epic contributions though.

We have 1 more game to win and it's back to back trophies and confirmation that we would have won the FA cup more times than any other team in the history of football iirc.

It was cazorla who played the pass in for sanchez where he was possibly clipped by the goalkeeper and it was cazorla who played in the ball that welbeck was beaten to by the keeper just before we scored

we hit the woodwork 3 times and despite surrendering a lot of possession, due to readings fight, we still deserved to win imo
we cant expect to get much praise for scraping through against a team 18th in the championship but who cares? we are in the final again that's all that counts!
perhaps the most telling thing from any of the pundits was when shearer said no one will remember this when the final comes around.
i think villa is a better opponent for us than wigan/hull/reading, they will let us play and we won't be expected to thrash them, though i think we might just do that!

Great to be in the final again.

not so great to see Szec playing though, as I think he will be given the goalkeeping position for the Final. IMO, he doesn''t derserve to be in goal for the final.

i think we will win it thought. Arsenal have a better team than Villa and are in better form.

Because we're the designated "away" team. Just like we were last year.

Not a fan of the yellow kit.

Oh well. Not that important I guess.
