Robbed! Yes we didn't score in the 120 minutes but even so!

Oh and did reyes slip the ref some cash? he should of been off 20 minutes earlier, I guess the ref did his best for him.

I guess the arsenal fans should still celebrate but I hope it feel like the hollow victory it is, penalties is no way to decide a cup final, i'd rather there had been a replay and maybe the Arsenal team turned up to play, once again they were exposed in a big match.

Penalties are never the best way to sort a game out, unfortunately it takes more luck than anything, and the best team did actually loose as arsenal sucked big style

Ah well at least it's another indication to the future, Man United have certainly shown Arsenal the way this season, hopefully we'll see more of a challenge next season.

I'd love to be able to say the best team won on the day like what I admitted when Chelsea beat United in the league but I'd be going against what my eyes saw.

Looks like it's a high point on an otherwise downward spiral for Arsenal.

Manchester United in Ascendancy

IIRC the Smiths wrote a song called A Hat Full of Hollow and they were from Manchester too

Jose will be dissapointed too hopefully

Up the ****! C'mon you gunners!

The best team won in the end against all odds.

It was great to see Fergies face being so miserable - YES!

And the tears of dispare on Ronaldos face were equally appealing - made me smile.

We beat you twice in the league and should of in the cup final.

Alex Ferguson has a problem on his hands, he need sto get the players motivated for the small games, we need to beat the bottom clubs.

Wenger has a bigger problem, he has to convince his players they are good enough to play against the best and match the likes of Man United in the games that really count. This season they have shirked away from the challenge.

Do you want a shot of some glasses to watch the games in future? Your rose tinted ones are causing judgement issues!

Yes thats quite right, manchester united fans are the only ones who ever complain. When arsenal were played off the pitch in october by superior tactics I never once heard a word out of them, they held their head high with dignity in defeat and certainly not one of arsenes children even considered starting a food fight.

All those top class strikers against our weaker line up and still you didn't score. We beat you without Henry! I think the facts speak for themselves
This was a big important game, Henry would of made no difference as henry 2 his twin brother who can't play would of turned up.

Come on penalties are no way to win a game, I would not be posting and boasting about it if man united had had an awful game and then sneaked it on penalites.

I agree to an extent as if we didn't want it going to penalties we should have made our attacking domination count.

I HATE Man.Utd. but they played the better football, had more passion, wanted it more.

Arsenal were absolutely terrible!!

Rather than penalties, it should go on the most shots on target I reckon??

It feels very good to win a game and not to have played very well. Arsenal have been very good before and then been beaten on penalties so this time it felt very very sweet.

I'm so happy, delerious in fact. I hate manure and they've ended the season in third, been beaten by Norwich and have nothing in the trophy cabinet. It doesn't get any better.
