FA Cup Final: Arsenal vs. Southampton discussion [R]
January 7th, 2009We've got Arsenal, who are desperate to add some silverware to their collection after being shut out so far, and Southampton, who are in my opinion the most underrated team in England. Henry vs. Beattie, it doesn't get much better than that.
Arsenal squad: Seaman, Taylor, Warmuz, Toure, Lauren, Luzhny, Stepanovs, Keown, Cole, Gilberto Silva, Edu, Parlour, van Bronckhorst, Pires, Ljungberg, Wiltord, Kanu, Bergkamp, Henry.
Southampton squad: Niemi, Telfer, Lundekvam, M Svensson, Bridge, Marsden, Oakley, A Svensson, Beattie, Ormerod, Fernandes, Williams, Davies, Tessem, Higginbotham, Baird, Blayney, Jones.

...and Arsenal held on for a 1-0 win.
Just Hooooooofffff the ball up field Hoping it will land on BT's head,
That seemed to be the tactic's ?
Poor Scummmer's, When will they learn eh
Pompey will show em how to play football,Just wait and see next season in the EPL.
I can understand that they were reticent to get involved in a goal fest as Arsenal would clearly have been the better, but come on guys.
So much for all the noise Strachan made before the match.
Thumbs down to wee Gord.
What game were you watching? Pires scored in the 38th...
...and Arsenal held on for a 1-0 win.
I think he checked out the above matchtracker as I don't see the goal listed there, at least yet.
For those who didn't get to see the match or post match interviews, you might find this funny-I did.
In this clip, Henry is asked about the no-call in opening of the first half. He is...well, candid.
This is the first "official" webcast of an FA Cup Final that I'm aware of.Kudos to the FA and BBC for allowing live webcasts of selected games this season.
I can't imagine Arsenal losing this match,and I don't even like them.
Very disapointing to see such a negative display from Southampton.

What negative display was this?
Holding out for penalties?
Or just plain inability to do what they wanted - in which case was hardly their fault.
You must have been watching a different match.
So for those of you with my problem, here's the match tracker:
