Arsenal Manage To Balls It Up Again!!!

carlingcup

Obafemi Martins score a dramatic late winner to win the Carling Cup for Birmingham City by sealing a 2-1 win over Arsenal at Wembley.

Nikola Zigic had headed the Blues in front near the half-hour mark to send fans of the underdogs into raptures, only for Robin van Persie to equalise with a stunning volley 10 minutes later.

Alex McLeish’s side spent much of the second half repelling attack after attack from the Gunners – with goalkeeper Ben Foster making a string of vital saves – before Martins was in the right place at the right time to pounce as Laurent Koscielny and Wojciech Szczesny conspired to let the ball loose inside the box.

    And THIS was the goalkeeper who only a week or two ago was tweeting his ridicule on Ashley Cole for handing a Cup game to Everton by missing a penalty. Today, the big mouth handed a FINAL to BIRMINGHAM!
    A bitter dose of irony.

    We were not good enough. If we can’t win having double the chances than Birmingham then when. Fucking Koscielny confused the keeper, who I do not blame. Song, Djourou, Koscielny were terrible. Shambolic defence again goddammit. Wenger why did u take off Arshavin? At least he was trying and he always has the potential to score. Bendy and out of form Chamakh did not inspire any faith. Who the hell is gonna score for us if we don’t have van Persie? Still no leadership!!! I’m pissed off. The only good thing is that Wenger cannot hide behind the Mickey Mouse Cup. He will have to do something.

    Had Arsenal won, the TALKING POINT would have been the missed call in the first 5 minutes. How, I ask you, how,could the Linesman miss that? Bowyer was at least 2 yards on-side! No excuses officials–GET IT RIGHT!!!!!!! It should have been:
    1. A penalty
    2.GK receives red card
    3. Arsenal down to 10 men for 85 minutes
    It was soooooo clear and for the life of me I just don’t get how the linesman could F this up so badly.

    It’s fortunate the goalkeeper wasn’t sent off (as he should have been) in the first few minutes, or we wouldn’t have had the joy of seeing his latter mess-up. What a lovely sight, to see those forlorn Gooners slumped in their seats weeping. Sheer pleasure. A day to remember for sure. I shall watch those moments again and again on my Tivo.

    We have to sack wenger today, he seems to be bad at turning bad spells around, if we don`t i belive we will draw at best against sunderland, loose big to barca and utd, than the season is over. Don`t blame the players, they only play because wenger choose them. He must go today. I have repect for wenger but he has lost hid edge. I say this in tears, but sadly it is the truth. Well done Birmingham, they were by far the best team.

    You think it’s just spurs fans who hate Arsenal? No-one likes you arrogant paranoid little cnuts.
    You consistently moan at referring decisions and other team’s style of play that even the BBC are writing articles on how pathetic you are.

    The GK is a clown btw but I am sure the stupid cnut will be twitting with his boyfriend jack latter.

    He was a great manager and I don’t know what to say. If he keeps losing season after season he will have to go and I don’t want that. It will cause a big turmoil and chaos unless we have a Mourinho or a Pepe Guardiola. Wenger haters who do u want? A Roy Hodgson? He’s not good enough. I am not an Arsene knows best man and I often criticize him, but I admit he’s the best for this team. The other thing is that u can’t just blame the players, because that’s HIS team. It’s him who does not want to sack the bad players. But if Wenger has to go we need a world class manager. Why on Earth does not he sack a few bad players adding some money to it he could have bought at least one bloody classy center back. In the end it’s his interest as well. The extra trophies (trophy moneys) would compensate for the extra expenses. He has lost a lot of prestige in the last 2 seasons and his credit is running out. How long does it take for the lunatic optimists (do u want Wenger’s downfall?, because it will be partly your fault)(also are u on drugs?) to admit that we have to buy AT LEAST 1 solid, classy center back. Sell Vela (he’s on loan any way, why do we keep players, who have to be on loan), Rosicky, Diaby, Denilson and Shitachi, Almunia, Eboue, Bendtner and buy a bloody good striker and 2 good midfielders (+ the 2 defenders), plus bring up a few talented youth players to the first team. I’m a foreigner (so u can’t say I’m chauvinist), but I would rather see English lads, who die on the pitch for the beloved CLUB just like Jackie boy (God bless him). I would give Chamakh another chance. It is not true that buying a few players and selling the crap cost that much. Maybe as a 1 off. Notwithstanding that having what we have I’m still behind the team and there’s still a chance, though much slighter than before and I will give my support even to the Denilsons, because I love my CLUB. Come on u gooners. Another day another fight.

    I’m sorry my dear friend, but you are in a state of confusion – I follow the current PREMIERSHIP CHAMPIONS and current FA CUP HOLDERS. In the ongoing years you have been bereft of trophies, I have enjoyed seeing my team win many, many many.
    So let’s be clear, that makes me a MUCH more contented soul than thou. And brings a bigger smirk to my face also.

    The jackals circle their prey! The pack leader is surrounded by snarlers out for his blood and it is SO pleasing to see them sink their fangs into their own. Yes, red is certainly the appropriate colour for these turn-on-their-own creatures. Marvelous to behold their rage and turmoil of mind. Delicious to read their distraught words. A joy!

    We are the only top flight team in Europe capable of self-capitulation. Our defending was farcical throughout – it looked as though only Djourou and Wilshere were flying in with last-ditch tackles whilst Song and the rest of the back line went absent. Lets face it, we should have been down to 10 men facing a penalty within the first 3 minutes. Despite many attacks, Foster’s saves were mainly comfortable and Birmingham hit the post and looked dangerous whenever they got forward. I think the better team won on the day which says a lot about this Arsenal team. On paper they are capable of dismantling any team. However, equally any team is capable of dismantling this team which can’t be said of the other top European teams. I looked at Bowyer and Carr’s battling throughout the game and wished we had someone with that drive and determination within our ranks alongside Wilshere. One can only hope they get out of the doldrums quickly, else 4 competitions will soon fade to nothing.

    Teams like Man U and Chelsea, and the top European clubs in Spain, Italy and Germany GAIN points and cups with fighting comebacks, but I can’t recall any consistently THROWING away games. There are sooo many games when Arsenal seem in control only to piss it all away. I believe this team is capable of winning something, although I doubt it’s this season, but unless we can keep our team together (which means Fabregas, Nasri and Van Persie staying) what’s the attraction for new players to come here?
