Second goal was offside, we kept playing it down our right even though Theo was ineffectual and Arshavin looked far more dangerous, was pleasantly surprised by Song's performance, Diaby was gash, and I'm actually slightly disappointed it wasn't a draw so I could have gone to see the replay.
Oh well, semi-finals of the FA Cup, here we come. Tally-ho!
EDIT: You're a bitter little one, aren't you Sem? Hows that push for Europe going again?

I'm surprised that Phil Brown really did say that "it sums up what the club is about", though I turned off so didn't see the post match interviews.
Anyway, if they want a gentleman's handshake at the end of 90 minutes, then their players shouldn't have unsportingly time wasted during the entirety of it.
My word, and people say that Wenger's a sore loser.
They did **** all after 30mins apart from time waste, which is weird because I've always thought they could actually play.
I'm glad we won, partly because we had to come back and do so, but it keeps our little run of not losing on. I thought that RvP was very very quiet, and apart from Sagna and Arshavin everybody else seemed to grind 90 minutes of play. Well, to Wembley we go, Chelsea will be much tougher, but should see Clichy and perhaps a Spaniard back.
In other news, poor Rosicky, still no sign of him, I think that's it for this season.

And spurs fans chanting racists remarks isn't desgracefull? 
Was it really offside? I'm not so sure. Its a very very close call and it looked to me as though the linesman had a case.
I think Arsene could have waited a bit longer to shake hands but ultimately its Brown and his team who are the disgrace. Timewasting after 20mins? Jesus. Some of the nonsense he spouted after the game, admittedly out of frustration, was frankly embarrasing.

yes is it disgraceful but all clubs have some supporters that chant/sing racist and homophobic songs so it really just limited to spurs
Yep he was wasting around 30 - 45 seconds per goal kick. Moving the ball to the wrong side of the goal when taking them etc. And this was from the 17th min i think. Wenger didnt get the keeper booked, he did it himself and was obviously under instruction to do just that.

How exactly has Arsenal's behaviour been disgraceful over recent years? Name some incidents please
And the time wasting thing is a joke - if you're going to waste time then you should expect to get booked. Dont get me started on pedersons dive!
sour grapes from someone who suddenly isn't the "great young manager" everybody thought, and just another mediocre cog managing a yoyo team who is looking to score some points after another loss.
speaking of yoyo's looks like the spurs are on the up lol, oooo arry will ave you in the Champions League soon.......fun to dream

how many yellow cards did your team get, how much did they time waste, tbh Hull were a Joke and fouling constantly. I'll give them that they at least didn't do many/any ludicrous and violent challenges that some other clubs resort to, but you decided to win the game but breaking our play by fouling, time wasting and generally ruining the game.
Brown was acting like a moron on the touch line when he finally felt like coming down from his comfy seat. He proceeded to yell at the ref, Arsenal players and Wenger any time he yelled about another foul by Hull. He hasn't behaved himself, he wasn't a gentleman on the side line throughout the game. He brought his team to ruin the game, tried to foul us out of the game and yelled at Wenger loads, why on earth would you shake his hand afterwards. It very much looked to me like I saw Brown ffing and blinding at Wenger anytime he called anything out to the pitch. Frankly Fergie I couldn't ever see shouting at Wenger and being as big a ***** on the sideline, which is why Wenger shakes Fergie(essentially his arch enemy) hand after a game, maybe that should tell you something.
he pretty much threw his dummy out the pram, the ref was actually very fair to Hull, the "offside" was incredibly hard to give tbh, the linesman quite rightly should be focusing on who got the touch and in doing so might have missed Gallas moving offside, its a tight call, we utterly dominated the game and had we not got that goal then would probably have gotten another anyway which looked highly likely while you had next to no chance of getting a winner. LIkewise the goalkeeper could have been booked midway through the first half, one of your centre backs did about 4 fouls in a row without the ref giving anything, lots of your players were allowed to foul for a LONG time before yellows started to come out. For persistant fouling yellows SHOULD have come out far earlier than they did. not to mention some ridiculous freekicks for RVP's "handballing" and a couple of non existant fouls around our box.
Their dissallowed second goal came from a corner, that came from a freekick that came from a truly brilliant tackle by Gallas that was never in a million years a foul let alone a yellow.
in other words, Browns completely lost his nut as his team spirals out of control and can't stop it. He's blaming everyone else but his own team and generally being a moron.

seriously baz do you have a mental block or something ? are you unable to comprehend the simple premise of what i am saying ?
can you not tear your biased overzealous self away from the fact i was not talking about those 2 incidents specifically, that i was using them as a general example on points YOU raised as a discussion topic ?
I think as i have said before the ref made all the correct decisions in the game, carras was a yellow, reinas was a yellow, vidic a red etc, however what i was getting at is YOUR point about would it be different if it was a game changing moment as you said.
and if that should be the way we look at incidents such as reinas / carras, I would think off other examples in other games however those were the first two that sprung to mind.
but seeing as though its like banging my head against a brick wall trying to get that through to you i think its safe to say that theres no point discussing it further as you simply cant understand the premise.

Arsene was frustrated and did have a pop at the 4th official a lot (maybe more than he should have done). The timewasting was so blatant though.
For the rest of it Brown was an arse.
In the post match interviews he was going on as though he was the down-trodden, unfairly treated peasant at the mercy of the tyranical Arsene Wenger but for most of the time he was on the touchline he shouted, screamed, swore and was generally not very nice.
The handshaking incident was also a nonsense. Arsene did leave the pitch quickly but he did clearly look for someone from the other side to shake hands with.
Sadly Setanta, who somehow manage to be worse than Sky, spoke about the game this much and went on about everything else unrelated to the football.
Overall Hull didn't deserve anything. They were soundly beaten in a way the result didn't reflect and maybe thats why Brown went off his head.
Not strictly true. Wenger has intentionally blanked Ferguson at the end of the game and refused a handshake.
I understand what you are trying to say because you simply took my post and used Reina and Carra's challenges and said/implied that they directly affected the outcome of the game. What i don't understand is why you took Reina' and Carra's challenges or any similar challenges to those.
I was questioning the size of punishment for a player who has denied a clear goalscoring opportunity and those challenges or similar challenges to that are not denying clear goalscoring opportunites. The key word is 'clear' or otherwise (like you are doing), people will start making claims that every other foul has denied a goalscoring opportunity.
Regarding the 2 incidents you've brought up though; Reina's challenge isn't worth any card as he denied nothing as Park wasn't likely to even keep the ball in play nor was it intentional (and he didn't get booked btw) and Carra's was worth a booking as he deliberately stopped a Utd attack (not a clear chance to score).

Hull didn't really do a good job, it could have been a 0-0 draw. They just stopped Arsenal playing and only had a few chances. Arsenal were putting a lot of pressure on them at the 2nd half, they defended heavily.
Credit to them for not letting Arsenal play but they didn't put enough pressure back on Arsenal and at times where just getting pinned back to much which eventually led to the goals.
imo I think the assistant and the ref thought the ball came off the keepers gloves that's why the offside wasn't given. Or maybe they are blind.
I won Club Level tickets for the match yesterday, wasn't too sure what to expect from the prawn sandwich brigade, but the atmosphere was very good (better than normal in fact - maybe because I was in the middle rather than upper tier). Hull were really getting some stick for their time wasting, one thing I couldn't believe was when their keeper finally got booked, he then wasted even more time by running back to his goal (the freekick was like 30 yards out) and leaving it to someone else. Arguably should have been a second yellow for that, although of course you'd never actually see a ref have the balls to do it 
First half was pretty poor, for some reason we let the ball bounce in the box and while it was a lucky deflection to loop it over the keeper, you are asking for trouble when you do that. Secondhalf was much better although at times I think Arsenal suffer from their lack of having a bodies in the box waiting for a cross. People may laugh but I'd still like to see us take Owen on a Bosman in the summer, even though injuries have curtailed his pace/career, he still has great awareness in terms of the runs he makes and his reactions inside the box. He gets his share of tap-ins, but that's not down to luck, it's down to his positioning and anticipation in terms of rebounds off the keeper etc. Time and again last night I saw a cross finally come in and either get easily cleared or go sailing out to the opposite flank as there was no-one getting on the end of it.
Not sure what to make of this spitting thing, I find it hard to believe that Hull would have made it up, they must genuinely believe it happened. They did say however that Cesc spat on the ground in front of the assistant coach, so it's possible he may just have been spitting in general like you see all players do, rather than at a specific individual.

Considering this is the same Phil Brown that says that Arsene Wenger never shook hands with him, not even at the KC, then quite frankly, he can get ****ed.
Overall though, I'm quite liking this. I really do hope Hull stay up now, because City vs Arsenal games just got a little bit more spicy.
