Gunners March On!!!!

The date was 21/05/05. The biggest clash in English soccer Arsenal Vs Man United.
Do or die for both clubs. After 90 mins of pulsating football, neither team was able to break the deadlock. Not having Reyes on Arsenal's side after being shown a red card for a needless tackle on Wes brown, Manu still failed to put the ball behind the net. Rooney comming the closest, after a shot hitting the post. Till then Arsenal held on. Extra time look inviteable. Still no goals. Penalty was decided. Lehmann saved the only kicked by Paul Scholes. Sadly that was not the case for Caroll, who looks like leaving Manu by summer after the club failed to renew his contract. Nevertheless Arsenal team captain Patrick Vieria scored the winning goal. Arsenal won 5-4 on penalties. Thus establishing themseleves as 2004/2005 FA CUP Winners. While Arsenal were celebrating Glory Glory Gunners!!! Manu were left wondering what has happened to them after being the dominant force in English soccer. Even Sir Alex couldn't hide his tears. Prehaps the Malcom Graizer's issue has hampered the players,club and the fans. While Manu were left crying, Arsenal got alot to cheer about as they added another silverware to their prestigous throphy cabinet. As they will now shift everything to their new stadium Emirates Stadium. Congrats Arsenal for a job well done!!!!!
