Sanogo made a difference aswell. His touch, passing and shooting are terrible but he puts himself about and has great pace. Giroud was a lot better when he came on.

Sanogo reminds me of a young Adebayour. It will all click for him sometime, I hope.

True he did allow Giroud to make some use of himself, I still wonder if he's ever had a first touch come off how he wanted it to though.
Thought Arteta did a great job at DM today. Orchestrated the start of a lot of our offensive play and was extremely solid

Delighted for Wenger after what that dose was saying earlier this year. Well in lads, enjoy the night.

Spot on we looked much more of a threat once he came on, yea his finishing isn't top notch but he's young can work on that.

He works hard, makes defenders work and has good positioning.

It was excellent!

Santi, Sagna and Arteta were wearing one blue and one pink boot. Anyone know what that was for?

FFS Tayto enjoy it we won!!! It showed guts no matter what!! This is Arsenal history.

I will never hear a bad word about Sanogo again!! Bad touch, etc but **** me we are way more of a threat when he is about!!!

Must be some Nike thing' some of the players are wearing the same boots in the DFB Pokal.

No nails left after that, delighted, relieved, exhausted
Great to see the respect they have for Wenger too in the celebrations
Also great to see ex players like pires celebrating

Exactly. Arsenal wouldn't have won the cup without him today.

Congrats folks. Very happy for Arteta, Rosicky, Sagna and especially Wenger after Jose's comments about him.

Similarities to Charlie George in 1971. This image will end up equally iconic.

Still have a silly grin on me since Ramseys goal. So happy. 0 years since a trophy

Fcuk lads (and Marie), I thought it was gone when Gibbs blasted over the bar late on. Felt like it wasnt going to be our day but delighted that Ramsey was the one to score the winner. Massive goal for not just him but for the club too.

A worthless trophy but it would be great to follow it up with the Community Shield now too.

Mr.Micro

Well done Arsenal and all us supporters. A great win. Hard luck Hull and you gave us a great FA Cup final.

omega man

What a day. My little girls communion, sunshine and topped off with an FA cup. Watched the game in the house with a load of "neutrals" but christ that was sweet for me and my gooner mate, we rocked the roof off when Rambo scored!! A bit tipsy now ..........COYG

The smile on Wengers face after the final whistle was priceless. It was like years just fell off him at that moment. Thank **** that bastard nine year old monkey is off our backs

Put that in yer pipe Jose and smoke it

I am enjoying it BUT I want better performances.
We went down 2 nil against feckin Hull.
We started the game in a coma just like we did those league games against Pool and Chelsea. We are lucky that Hull are not at the same standards as Pool, City or Chelsea. We won playing poor football. Thankfully.

I strive perfection. Always. BUT i'm having a few drinks now :d

This could kick-start it for the team but we have to be awake at the start of matches

Jesus I thought that the thread would be much busier after a cup win!

Well, compared to the 20 page misery-fest it does be after a loss :pac:

That Cazorla free kick was just clutch, amazing strike for a cup final.

Also big shout for Ramsey. Cesc/RVP/Nasri all left to win trophies, none of them turned up in a cup final like Rambo just has.

gebbel

I'm so content tonight, sipping away on beers and I'm the life & soul of the party!

I can't get the image of Ramsey lying down on the grass out of my head! And how it reminds me of 1971. It's completely iconic.

It should come with a warning actually. . .

Great win, dodgy start, must do better when playing better teams.

Sagna will be given a warmer reception when he leaves than any Arsenal player who has joined City, but when I look at the team today, I wonder why he just doesn't take that pay cut to stay at Arsenal.

He won't get the love and respect from City players and fans that he had here.
Delighted he has a trophy to his name though after the years he has given us.

No, guts and character is a mental thing. You show that in adversity not when everything is going swimmingly.

Well they had a mental actually a monumental fcuk up in the first 10 mins.

Fabianski confirmed he has leaving and it's sad as he was a loyal servant for the club and has really come good ever since he lost the bowl hair-cut.

As a tribute, skip to the number 1 save in this video, contender for one of the best double-saves of all time:
