That looked a pen
FA Cup Final; Arsenal v Aston Villa
- Thread starter ThierryHenry
- Start date
Absolutely shocking decision.
I would think the opposite, especially since teams often bring youngsters in the League Cup and thus veterans care less about that. Either way, I'm just baffled at the way United dealt with the FA Cup for years with a blatant lack of seriousness. That B team Fergie sent on in 2009 against Everton was the most insulting thing I've seen from us regarding that competition.
Clear foul, probably free kick though
There are many factors as to why you'd think that, he hasn't had the greatest of debut seasons even though he started the season in very good form. Given a run in a settled side I think he'll get back to his best.
He is not even close to his former self
I've never seen him being excellent in an arse shirt I don't think
That looked like it should have been a free-kick on the edge of the box to me.
Just had time to see Dortmund score before my river dried up, think I'll just go watch a film instead.
Aston Villa is a nothing club. Wish they were relegated.
How was that not a Pen?
Why? They are far from a nothing club, even though their fans are probably amongst the most annoying.
This refereeing is a joke.
Sanchez is dreadful...
Carlos, not Alexis
Carlos, not Alexis
So that's possibly two pens Villa should have had?
Another inept fatty of a referee. 
Stone waller
not surprising bearing in mind we gave up on this cup about ten years ago
First one was outside the box i think, the second was was absolutely stone wall though.
Both incidents were fouls.
Bellerin always seems to manage to get away with something big in every game.
I never thought I'd end up feeling bad for Villa, but they're being given feck all today.
That's unacceptable for a team of United's stature to even think of giving up on the FA Cup. Would you ever see Bayern saying "feck it" to the DFB Pokal? Would you ever see Barcelona or Real Madrid spitting on the prospect of winning the Copa Del Rey?
Not even a shot on target for Villa, unacceptable
The Arse have been totally good today. Pity they can never challenge for the title...
Yeah, don't rate him at all. Basically every game I've seen him play he should have either been sent off or given away a penalty.
First half they should have had about 9 players booked.
Good performance from Arse but ref so biased!
I think he's just exaggerating. We've either had very difficult runs, or we just feck it up in the early stages against a team that we should be beating like Leeds or Swansea.

I'm still mad about us fecking up a 2-0 lead against Chelsea a few years back!
The worst thing about watching this on the BBC is the Arsenal wankfest.
4-0
Dear, oh dear... Villa have zero honor.
Reminds me of the 94 final.
Yeah there you go Villa. Well played.
Giroooooooooud.
Arsenal were good yes. But I wouldn't be able to except that as a Villa fan.
Mystic Duff.
I disagree. The refusal to give the referee any criticism is the worst bit. Guy Mowbray especially seemed to take it personally that the Villa fans sarcastically cheered getting a foul.
I especially enjoyed the cameraman randomly cutting away from a rare bit of villa possession to show Cazorla wandering about on his own for no reason.
Not many clubs around with the history and past achievements they have that you could replace them with.
As poor and all as they are, they're far from just a nothing club.
Agree with that.But i get the feeling that we are now taking it more seriously.
