    The Villa back 5 have performed miracles to keep this scoreless.

    No help from anyone else bar Delph.

    Richardson doing his bit too

    They were always on back in the 80s and 90s.

    Am I right in thinking the last time the FA Cup final was shown on Irish TV (RTE) was 1998? That was incidentally also Shay Given vs Arsenal! He's been around a long time has Shay to be fair.

    Most ridiculous freekick for a handball I think I've ever seen. How was that hand to ball.

    The hand stoped the ball going to a villa player and directed to an arsenal player in the box. Had to give it really.

    Only a matter of time before arsenal score. Its not a good game villa aren't really in it.

    I'd be taking Grealish off at half time. Kid is getting absolutely destroyed and Villa might as well be playing with 10.

    Cue goal I suppose. :pac:

    Game needed that, Villa would of been of fortunate to have made it to half time without conceding.

    Giroud would of ballooned that.

    Yeah id prefer it to be a bit closer - more of a ding dong battle but other than a few minutes where villa looked good its been pretty much all arsenal.

    Great finish by theo

    He seen it late. Walcott was covered by the defender for much of the flight of the ball.

    Ball was in the air a long time before shot. Top keeper stops that for me.

    John Motson has predicted whoever scored first would lose, can't see his prediction coming true so far, Villa just can't keep hold of the ball long enough to relieve the pressure.

    Dunno how people can criticise Given there, 2 defenders completely block his view.

    Great to see Walcott scoring again when played up top

    Second half I hope we keep going as we are. Another goal early in second half will kill Villa off.

    Agree - its clear from the replays his view is totally obscured. Seen it way too late

    Disappointing final so far. Too one-sided. Not that the Arsenal fans will be complaining. I know I wouldn't if I were in their shoes.
