Thanks Labbie! Hope you are well. Are you watching 'that' show this year? I am, half-heartedly. It's been so boring anyway!

Thanks!
I'm ok thanks Tiron well apart from my dodgy knees. Hope you are keeping well.

I am not watching at all, I finally gave up after last year. Funnily enough I'm not missing it.
I'd rather watch the fabulous Arsenal.

Alexis scores 25 goals in a debut season - equalling TH14s record (AFAIK), plus 13 assists.
Amazing

Sanchez is a superstar akin to Suarez. I only hope Arsenal keep him happy. With Sanchez, a new goal keeper, a DM and a new striker Arsenal could seriously challenge for the league title next year.

Last year's ended the drought but otherwise a much more satisfying win all round.

Keeping Sanchez is utterly crucial for Arsene's plans. It could really all come together next season as a player like Sanchez is such a big draw for other top quality to join the club.

I agree and it looks like he is actually enjoying playing for Asenal, which given the big changes weather, culture, language etc -wise is quite impressive. Sanchez is just amazing and there is no drama with him whatsoever on or off the pitch. He just enjoys playing football.

The guy is such a consummate professional with a terrific attitude. If only certain players from the recent past had the same outlook.

Crushed them like ants!

Best final performance by any team for a very long time.

Fantastic goal by Sanchez, and great finish by Giroud too.

Don't think it's too early to say congrats and well played. (Southampton fan!)

My mate Ken, if you're still about somewhere up there, you're team played superbly...
I'm sure Ken is feeling quite chuffed

It was very one sided not that I am complaining. Sanchez goal was a peach & Arsenal must not lost him but I expect the usual gossip.
We need to do much better in the Champions league next season.

CL is beyond us at the moment.

Closing the gap on Chelsea, and challenging for the Prem is the next logical step. 3,4,5 years of doing that, then maybe the CL becomes more realistic, but it's a distraction right now.

Wenger the old dog was teasing us with those awful performances against Swansea and Sunderland and saving the best till last. Everybody played their part. Just marvelous. I did begin to wonder if it might be one of those games where we dominate but don't score til Theo popped up. The Alexis goal was the highlight. When he hit it, I thought that ain't going in. So wrong! Well done the manager on equalling the FA Cup wins. You done well!

Brilliant performance, such a good feeling not having to go through the stress factor all game like last year! Everyone played superbly but Sánchez in particular was the star. We have our 12th, congratulations fellow Gooners!

That's the 9th time The Gunners have won the cup in my lifetime, yet I just couldn't get over excited about the result yesterday.

Another premiership title before I'm 60 would be worth celebrating. Come on lads you have 3 seasons to make my wish come true.

How peculiar! I could understand if this was the Emirates Cup or something, but this is the third most important trophy in a club's season.

I was delighted because I thought Aston Villa would win, but in reality we dominated them from first to last minute. Don't know why Arteta lifted the cup though. Has he even played a single minute in the tournament this season?

According to Arteta, he felt awkward about it but Per insisted he come and lift the Cup.
Great team spirit. Arteta reportedly gave a terrific speech during the week to the team too.

I so enjoyed this win because apart from winning it, the way we played was dazzling.
I'm still euphoric. Just wish I'd had a ticket for yesterday.

Just sobered up following my Wembley trip yesterday.

What a game, what a performance, what a day.

Just fantastic.

Even had Gilles Grimandi Sat behind me.

Disappointed in Villa though their fans were great.

Slightly annoyed to (just) miss Sanchez's goal as I was filtering back in after half time; last time I'll buy my son an overpriced hit dog...

Ooh Mesut Özil's Magic,
He wears a magic hat
And when Barca offered Cesc
We said "No way, f**k that"
He'll drop a little shoulder,
He'll give a nice assist,
He's won us more in just two years
Than the Spaniard ever did.

COYG!

Well done to Wenger and the team on a successful PL season. We would have challenged if we hadn't given chelski an 11 point start at the beginning of the season. Was that down to preparations being interrupted by that CL qualifier? Let's see if we can make a good start next season.

The team selection and tactics Wenger set for Saturday absolutely crippled Villa. Within the first ten minutes their players realised they were done for, and Sherwood had no answers. The substitutions were also perfectly timed and correct.

Roll on August.
