Report: Arsenal 1-2 Birmingham City
A horrendous mix-up between Wojciech Szczesny and Laurent Koscielny in the 89th minute handed Birmingham the Carling Cup trophy, as Obafemi Martins was left to slot into an open net after goals from Nikola Zigic and Robin van Persie had kept the scores level.
The writing is on the wall…Arsene has been great but he reached his peak already. Trading Gallas and replacing him with an unexperienced Kos and playing a 12 year old keeper just made us a lose today. Arsene must go!!!!
Experience was lacking today period!!!
Please post a pic of your ugly goalkeeper celebrating against Barca again.
Not too bothered. We always knew Cesc was the key to our success. Without him it’s very difficult to break down determined and well organized opposition. Still, we’d have done it in extra time. Birmingham just about deserved it if they’d created the opportunity themselves. Oh well. Let’s move on. Bigger fish to fry and I’m already looking forward to next year in this competition.
where is the positive that wenger would see in this game. the coach has a poor sense of team balance and his philosophy has failed repeatedly. for this team to have a future i think it is high time for wenger to go.football is all about trophies rather than balancing the books
Just unlucky!
we are so poor. they shud have had a 2 pens in the first half and our keeper shudve seen red. we were lucky to go in at half time level. the second half came and went and we are left with egg all over our faces. SHIT CUP AND WE STILL DONT WIN !!! not a good day
absolutely spot on Lee…..listening to AW moaning now about injuries n tiredness…this is the guy who wont buy anyone to ease the problem!!unbelievable…
****
wot a horrific day and i can just see all the yids laughing at us
ive waited 6 years to see us win something and still the wait goes on. are we ever gonna win anything again?
Rosicky was the weak link today and making him captain was rediculous. Nasri should have been captain from the start.We lost this final against Stoke when Fab and Walcott got injured, we really missed Fabregas.Not enough hunger, just felt like we were going through the motions.Well done Birmingham, they wanted it and they got it.Its great for the city of Birmingham.
Still good things to come though and for me its all about next season, arsenal will be the team to beat (I have’nt thought that for a long, long time).
lovely lovely
kleenex anyone?
Well played ar5ena1
get the fuck in!!!
wot was the score??
ooooooooo those brummies!!!
great keeper!!!
erm I swear we kicked u spuds out of the cup, beat u 4-1 when was the last time you lot won the league. When tv was black and white say no more.
I really do not know what to say so I will say not a thing.!!!!!!!!!!!
I really do not know what to say so I will say not a thing.!!!!!!!!!!!I have not already sent thisPLEASE
ARsenal Till I Die.
Stupid substitutions.
matt. i think RVP was captain.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha………..hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!
Even with all the refs decisions that went ur way u still lost and should have lost by at least 3 goals, blatent penalty and two straight red cards but justice was made in the end!!!
Hahahahahahahahaha! What an embarassing bunch of trophyless soppy mugs!
Birmingham 2 – 1 Arsenal and the trophyless run continues
foster had a grt game, kept them in… saved 6-7 shots…. motm really…. forget this, move on to the other games with the right spirit…. up the guns of ARSENAL!!!
congratulations to winners team and fans… fair play… enjoy…
ps…. some of us Gooners are jewish, so plz, a little respect…. no yid remarks… let Class seperate an Arsenal fan from all the rest… chin up gunners… it was a grt run
Well if we can not win the so called Micky Mouse trophy against a team not so great then I do not see us winning against Barcelona in the Champions league,the F.A cup and the Premier League which at the momment is for Manchester to lose.So if Fabregas will decide to leave or be injured for a long time then that smells grat danger for us?These boys are not serious at all.Birmingham gave it their all.Our boys wouldn’t be bothered. They gave away the ball easily.They are a bunch of spoilt school boys only good at breaking our hearts.
Wenger needs to buy quality and experience !! We are becoming the perennial bottlers .. Szchency will be great as will Koschielny but not now in a few years time .. Why couldn’t we buy Luiz like chelsea did .. We Would have won today and possible the league … Come on Arsene smell the coffee and get that f’ink cheque book out
Have been lookin at th replays several . for me the fault lies completly with K…the defender. He clearly blocked the Keeper miskicked and nicked the ball on the keepers knee. What is this defender ( who does have his moments , granted) doing playing in the OUR LEAGUE when last season he was in the French Second Division!! Gallass as old as he is and as difficult as he may be was surely worth another year!!!? Mr Wenge you gooffed badly on this one. Further watching the young goalkeeper come flying out early in the game on Bowyre reminded me of experienced Lehman in the Euro Cup several years ago. Lets not be too hard on the Youngguy – he surely deserves another chance or two after a rest!!!!
I think wenger’s philosophy is gud,but sometimes he is blind.Rosicky should’nt hv played that match.Kos and shiscney are gud.Sometimes things happen,dnt need to ask y.Still gunners 4ever.
ALl those who have put in negative comments, You Just need to Go Get a Brain From somewhere first, Then talk.
