yep quite right...go arsenal and play really crap against another team and win on penalties.... everyone knows it was United's game....
i have not seen the gunners play that badly for a long time.
united defo deserved the victory but if you dont score then you are just asking for trouble.
enjoyed the game not the result, well done the arsenal.
thought lehman deserved man of the match even before the penalties.

Sorry dude. Can't do it without my salt and pepper pot.
edit - although I didn't mind who won, I was gutted that it was not 2-0 Manure with Scholes scoring first. I had a couple of quid on that at 90-1, which seemed a value bet at the time...

yeah but shouldnt be decided like that arsenal played crap!!!!! Man u were robbed, robbed i tell you !
Just reading some opinion polls and here is an interesting alternative to penalties
"Instead Of Shoot-Outs...
After Saturday's FA Cup Final in which Arsenal were the 'victors', isn't it time we had an alternative to the shoot-out to decide games?
Why not have three independent judges who register a vote each time a shot on target is achieved (rather like a boxing match) - then if the result is a draw the game can be dicided on a points system.
This is both fair and will also bring out more attacking football.

I kind of like that idea, although i must admit i love penalties when i am the neutral.
