Koscielny more at fault I think

Nope. Both at fault. Schzney must have called so should have collected. Koscielny shouldn't have pulled out so late either though.

Delighted with that. Brum deserved it. Even poxy refererring cant help Arsenal win a dud trophy. Arsenal fans can get back in their boxes now and forget winning 4 trophies. They wont even win 1. LOL

Nuri Sahin

I have the greatest respect for Wenger, for all the good he has done but he continually ignores the holes in your team.

Arsenal will just have to wait another few months for a trophey and they probably wont win any there either!!!! DELIGHTED

Just means its harder for Liverpool to get back in Europe again next season

Trophies must be Arsenal's kryptonite or something.

Congrats Birmingham, played very well today.

But jesus this is incredibly demoralising.

Some win for Brum - didn't think they would do it. Disappointed for arsenal, bubt that's football! Hope arsenal bounce back.

That_Guy

Good thing Arsenal didn't win that trophy, otherwise the goalkeeper probably would've dropped it.......

BERBA

From Birmingham to Barcelona , cant wait for that one * rubs the hands*

Fair play to Birmingham but gutted at the way we lost it

Was hoping the 2000th post would be celebrating victory for Arsenal but oh well.:(

Full credit to Birmingham. Deserved the victory with their performance especially after the terrible decision from the linesman at the start.

Arsenal need to go on and concentrate on the other trophies now. This would have been nice for momentum and to end the drought but it is not the main objective of the season.

How Soon Is Now

Delighted for Birmingham they deserved it overall even more so cause that peno **** up in first half.

Foster man of the match no doubt amazing to keep them in the game.

Glad this has happend to Arsenal they would of been so full of ****e them and there fans if they won this even all talk on sky sports about ahh if they win this they will win the league :rolleyes:

Great weekend really United win Liverpool lose City draw Arsenal make a fool of themselves in the last minute

6 years 6 years!!!!

To be fair, if it wasn't the main objective, I don't think Wenger would've picked his strongest available squad.

To see Arsenal lose to Birmingham, I don't care

Great win, fully deserved

Congratulations Birmingham. Kept on fighting to the end

everdead.ie

Very surprised by the result but glad for Carr and for McLeish especially.

Arsenal's lack of urgency and in particular Rosicky and Arshavin are more to blame for this, and who got the captains armband only Rosicky when RVP went off?

They got exactly what they deserved. The warnings signs were there but Wenger never responded. No one wants to lead this team other then Cesc and now he is off to Barca after this.

Ah it is just not the done thing, you just don't do things like that to somebody at a moment like that.

That being said, I'm delighted that all the Arsenal fans wandering around talking as if they had already won the Carling Cup before a ball had been kicked have learnt a harsh lesson!

Hank Scorpio

Stephen Carr was brilliant i thought

Only after calming down after running around the house for the past few mins.
Great result, definitely deserved it. A great team effort.
Can not wait for Europe now.

Lulz from Twitter -

Is Fabregas going to go up and help van Persie lift his runner up medal?

Wherever you got that impression it certainly wasn't from supporters in this forum.
