Wigan beating City in injury time wasn't bad.

Yeah but that just goes along with my the FA Cup has more iconic moments statement, the match itself wasn't very good.

Two more exciting finals I can remember recently, even for a neutral I would say. Wigan City of course, and Us vs Man U in 2007. That was quite a tactical battle, not entertaining in the truest sense but entertaining nevertheless.

They weren't good games for the neutral at all, ours against United was a tense affair for us but it was by no means a good game. It was quite a stinker really. Wigan vs City ended spectacularly that's why you probably think it was a good game, before the goal it was pretty drab.

I love close tense affairs to be honest... In our game, you never knew which way it would go till the end. I think that no other FA cup final in the last 10 years has been anything like that one. You are probably right that neutrals may not have enjoyed that one... I enjoyed the anticipation of an upset as a neutral during the City Wigan gamegame though

What pathetic comparison? He scored against Brighton in the FA Cup January, Scored against Leicester and Villa in February and then scored a hat trick against West Brom last week in a meaningless league match before his goal against Villa today.

Walcott has played 22 matches this season in all competitions and has 5 league goals (3 last week against West Brom)

If scoring against Brighton, Leicester, Villa and West Brom is enough then yeah lets get rid of Willian and replace him with Theo

Not sure why the teams he has scored against matter, someone has to score against them for the team to win.

Even in an injury hit season he's still outscored Willian.

I'm not saying Willian is a bad player but I just think Walcott is better.

But we're talking from the neutral point of view, sure it was tense for us and could have gone either way but that doesn't make it an entertaining game for the masses.

I remember the West Ham/Liverpool final being quite decent.

I agree that it doesn't matter who he scored against. I also thing it is unfair to compare goals and assists. Willian has qualities Walcott doesn't. Not sure he'll be the greatest fit in the wing in our team. William also contributes throughout a season, something Walcott hasn't done in a while now.

Arsenals parade well get more coverage then us I bet. It already is

Arsenals pride well get more coverage then us I bet. It already is

Will this self pity ever stop ? Seriously - who cares ?

What? Since when is stating a fact self pity. Who cares I do. If you don't that's your choice

This never ending whining and half truths.

The fact is that Arsenal are celebrating the FA cup victory. Traditionally that is always a bigger affair than the league in terms of the victory parade. Do you remember all the coverage of Man City's league parade last year ? No ? Me neither. Because there was hardly any. Yet the FA cup parade is always covered. Has been for decades.

I don't know what kind of coverage our parade got on Sky I watched it on Chelsea TV but I do know we weren't the only parade/sporting news that day. Arsenal's has come on a day where they're probably the only parade and there's little sporting news to speak of so I think it's natural it will get more coverage.

One thing I do think is strange is how we didn't do a parade in 06/07 with the League Cup/FA Cup and 2009 with the FA Cup.

This article is excellent, explains a lot about Heysel.

 

Just seen this, excellent article. Appalling how little coverage the anniversary has had.

Didn't do a parade because we where league champions the year before so I say the club thought the crowds wouldn't have been as big. That's just my viewing on it not saying its correct

And here you are whining about it. Since when is an FA Cup parade a bigger deal than a league winning parade?

Will this self pity ever stop ? Seriously - who cares ?

Unfortunately, it won't. Getting quite irksome.

Guess that makes sense

What self pity ? Just stated what I felt was a fact. Arsenal can have the fa cup no self pity coming from me. Champions of England why would I feel self pity. Again like I said am I not aloud make a post.

You aren't allowed to point out the skewed and biased media coverage our club gets.

Exactly, and the whining about people opining that we dont get equal and fair coverage is just as irksome.
