Oh, is there a match on today?

No! Arsenal had a short spin down the road and recollected the FA Cup! Aston Villa no shots on Target.......Yawnfest!

Not a bit. Great final

ONeill · May 30, 2015, 10:34:37 PM

Villa were totally shit.

Walcott must go.

Great win. History makers again.

Does winning the FA Cup again really feel like a momentous victory to Arsenal fans?

Maybe not momentous, but it makes all the smartarses who took part in the "since Arsenal last won a trophy" reset their clocks again.

Arsenal would have blown most teams aside with that performance today. Couple of signings and a title challenge can be mounted.

Arsene is a genius again. Fickle as hell.

No different to any other supporters Oranje.

Just curious here but do Arsenal fans see Walcott as the answer at CF?

scored a nice goal yesterday but was offside plenty and missed at least 3 sitters (blushes saved by 1 being called offside)

A scorer of great goals is not what Arsenal need.

A great goal scorer. ...absolutely.

Don't see him as an out and out striker but his goal scoring record is high if you look at the stats.

People talk about this 25-30 goal striker. Can anyone give suggestions as to who he is??

Martinez? Bacca? Higuain? Would these players guarantee goals in the PL. Hard to know.

A keeper and cover/competition for Coquelin is probably more important in the summer

It's difficult to say who would be a guaranteed 25+ striker....Arsenal have had their share of marquee forwards like Henry and RvP and Costa, Suarez and Aguero were all available (at the right price) at one stage...

Maybe Benzema might be the man, who knows but I think it's a priority as Giroud doesn't cut it against top teams.

Wenger insisting he isn't going to spend big this summer and won't be after any big names... Really disappointed to hear that.. Was hoping with £25m + on a striker and the same again on a holding midfielder with maybe an experienced keeper threw in we'd be real title challengers..

If he's going to be his old stubborn self and stick with the same squad for next season just because we finished 3rd and won the FA Cup then he's still very much deluded...

I know one thing for certain, Man City and Chelsea won't be content with a quiet summer looking for relative un-heard of names poached from Ligue One teams.

Christ your a negative man.

Did Wenger say he was going to buy big before spending £42 million on Ozil and £35 million on Sanchez?? He's not foolish enough to say 'this summer we're gona spend £100 million' for clubs to go and hike prices up!!

Enjoy the cup success and leave the negativity until the transfer window is up.

50fiftyball · June 01, 2015, 03:31:51 PM

Walter, to be fair he did say before last summer he was out to get a household name or two before landing Sanchez early on.

And any time he's said he won't be buying in transfer windows, he has kept it quiet!

I don't think anyone could be in party mode as much as Wilshere - that man can enjoy himself

He has the look of a man that was intoxicated behind those black sunglasses yesterday!
