Unlucky

Arsenal 0 - 0 Man Utd (Arsenal win 5-4 on penalties)

Arsenal may have won the FA Cup, but they sure have lost something, or they should if they have any shred of decency. They have lost any right to say that Man Utd can play against them and win only by kicking them off the field. Utd didn't kick them off this time; we only totally and completely outplayed the mighty Gunners, who for long periods were made to look second-rate. The stats say it all: Utd had TWENTY shots on goal, with eight on target. The mighty, mighty Arsenal? Five. And one on target. Corners? Arsenal: 1, Man Utd: 12. Fouls? Arsenal: 30, Man Utd: 23. So who's outkicking who again?

In truth, the outcome was a travesty. To have created so much only to go home empty-handed is a sickener. Nonetheless, as much as it pains me to say this, all credit to Arsenal for clinging on for dear life throughout the game, and a round of applause is necessary for their coolness under fire on the penalty spot.






Then again, I'll just throw in the obligatory shout of "Wankers!" anyway.
