What on earth is Benteke thinking for that 3rd goal

Is this knock Benteke week? You've even managed it on a thread which is not even about him.

Benteke is a liability at defending corners. Hopefully next season we're not trying to take advantage of it.

You get the impression most Arsenal fans didn't get overly excited about winning the Cup and have probably forgotten about it already.

I would have lived off an FA Cup win for a mighty long time!

I wish I hadn't watched the programme now though. I'd avoided all Football up until that point.

I'm surprised by the attitude of some of them, based on how many were outside the stadium at a similar time to me and I left when it was still 3-0. They've won 2 trophies in 10 years, they are hardly bored of winning things. Bunch of Tarquin twats.

On my own tonight and brought myself to watch the road to the final off the Beeb last Saturday with Benjamin zephaniah.
For me the semi was the stripey shite and the final was the pool, the arse game never happened.
The support for me in both was the highlight of both games and just reinforced how much I love this club.
Take a bow every single one of you

Modern day football fans, a top 4 birth is what counts as success nowadays

I had a bottle of wine last night during the Barca v Juve game and then plucked up the courage to watch Truly Madly Wembley.

They showed far too much of the match but some of the characters were interesting - I am certain I used to know one of the blokes who was being interviewed at the Cat and Fiddle in Pheasey before that wedding.

Anyway, the highlight for me was that rousing rendition of HEITS after the Arsenal opener. The commentator referred to it and it may have been where the mikes were placed but it was far louder than anything else in the programme.

For me the show was a fitting epitaph to finally closing the FA Cup 2015 adventure down. The stars of the show were the fans not the players, the lifeblood of football and all it really stands for morally does not happen on the pitch. The passion of the villa fan getting married on the day and shuffling the whole agenda around the kick off - priceless, to the other extreme 100 miles south with an Essex based arsenal fan getting a spray tan so he could look pristine for the big day (watching it on TV).

I watched it a couple of days ago. It was enjoyable but at the same time most of them in it were tools. Especially the Arsenal golfers and the Arsenal bloke with his bint. He reminded me of the Fast Show Arsenal fan.

Typical uber-Tarquin as I walked back to Wembley Park tube - came off his mobile having proclaimed how "absolutely marvelous,darling" it felt before proceeding to teach his son the French words for various parts of the body. I was tempted to call him un branleur

As I got off the tube at Wembley I encountered a Tarquin asking the witty question "do Villa fans even know the way to Wembley?" so loudly it was obviously for the benefit of everyone around. Even his mates laughed when I shouted "we were here last month you fucking idiot".

After I left RedSox and went to go in the stadium a Tarquin started giving it the "Only come to see the Arsenal" guff, "have you won the European Cup" while pointing to my Champions of Europe trackie top shut the twat up much more effectively than a backhander would have.

I've also finally watched this tonight.

Caused Mr Amfy much amusement at the end when I was infuriated by the commentary when the 4th went in

'.......and that's enough for many Villa fans to turn tail and head for Wembley tube station...'

That goal went in at 92.55 - hardly 'we can see you sneaking out' time is it?

I suppose every last one of us should have been on our feet shouting 'come on lads - there's still 3 seconds and we only need 5!'

I left after about 88 mins. I was outside the stadium when someone said they'd got a 4th.

Whe she says "I also finally watched this tonight" what she actually is "I have now watched highlights, lowlights, brief clips,  short clips of the highlights and pretty much the whole match 8 times"

Suffice to say the anger, disappointment and self loathing haven't dissipated- we haven't " moved on yet"
