Martins has written himself into Brum folklore. He couldn't have believed his eyes when the ball fell to him.

Some people need to grow up. Yes, congratulate Birmingham but there's no need for the abuse to the Arsenal. The way they've played this season deserves a trophy, but Birmingham fully deserved to win today in my opinion

At the end of the day regardless of the way we have played all season it counts for nothing if we dont turn that into trophies and if you've watched Arsenal for the last 5 seasons you'll notice that all this 'beautiful' football has won us...wait for it..NOTHING.
 
Wow great day for Birmingham. To be honest I know the keeper should of dealt with it but he thought the defender was gonna hood it. He's a young keeper leve him alone!
 
If i was Wenger i would be more worried about Leyton then Barca... Cause if they win against Leyton they might win something this season, if they win against Barca they won win anything. GET IN! ^^

But not many teams have a high profile teenager who can come on to replace a Spanish International midfielder so well remember :)
 
Arsenal aren't completely out of the question to win anything. They are just one trophy less likely. One of the greatest games I've ever had the pleasure to watch. I'm a die-hard Arsenal fan, but Birmingham deserved it just as much as we did if not more. Stunning game, I would have liked it to end differently than a defensive blunder. I'm disappointed, but not at all mad at the result.

Onto the next game, Gunners.

They needed heroics from their keeper and a momumental ****-up to get the win.

I mean well done to them at all, but it's hardly like they deserved it. But they won it and thats all that matters.

Their 'keeper played better than yours, along with the majority of their players. They had to dig in and work hard but played some decent football at times and created chances. When a team plays better, I generally like to think that they deserved their win. It could have gone either way and was a close game, but Arsenal weren't at their incisive best today. Just because their 'keeper had to make more saves, doesn't mean you dominated the game or deserved to win

You think Man Utd are going to be in the Europa League oO)

Congrats to Birmingham, enjoy the success and unlucky to Arsenal, not a nice feeling losing in the last minute in a final.
 
Its not Szsenzys fault imo its all on Kosielny who should have cleared it
 
Buy a commanding centreback. doesnt matter how good your football is, every side has a player who just puts everything on the line to win the ball and boss the back line
 
lets hope they take this result on the chin and hopefully look at it as a learning curve and concentrate on the league and the other cups

IMO 'beautiful football' is a load of ****. Its the result that counts in the end. For example, " yeah we lost 8-0 but at least we played beautiful football". Its fine if you can play it and achieve things like barcelona, but when its not getting you anywhere, why not just try something else?
 
Wengers arrogance is costing Arsenal, Get a decent keeper and a center back who can actually defend.
